Reviews of Cap Bon Kelibia Beach Hotel & Spa 4 stars

"Did you know Kelibia Beach is rated #7 in the world?" Every taxi driver here in Kelibia will proudly ask that question. And it IS truly stunning. The best water clarity ANYWHERE in the Mediterranean ,exceeding even Mallorca's best calas. Dreamy swimming conditions.Unfortunately, there's not much else in this town,apart from the historic Fort and famous Madera winery-unlike beach towns of Hammamet,Sousse,Monastir and Mahdia ,which have fascinating medinas/old towns to explore,albeit with seawater of a much lesser quality. This hotel itself does a good job. Classic low-rise horseshoe configuration gives every room at least a lateral view of the shimmering sea,and each room has a terrace as big as the room itself. Room is large with dated furniture , and bedspread but has efficient,modern bathroom.The hotel lobby is opulent with domed ceiling ,marble floors and elegant oversized furniture. The staff,especially at front desk ,is cheerful and helpful.There are 3 huge pools including an indoor one. Excellent wifi coverage.Well kept hotel grounds. Good beach beds. Pleasant beach staff.

The big disappointment for me was the dining room . And buffet food quality. Offerings at breakfast were very meager,and lunch was little better. Both resembled a a high school canteen -with tons of minors. Dinner food quality was much better.Buffet was set up outside,with a sea view.Very good music(solo singer,or saxophone,or guitar,etc). In fairness to the hotel,the sign near the entrance says "4 stars"-and that is what it is. So long as you're not expecting 5 stars -it's an excellent place .Mainly Tunisian families and Italian families . I think I was the only solitary traveler. Massive low rise construction is taking place at one end of the beach,far from the hotel.I hope it becomes the hotel that Kelibia deserves.

The location on from of nice beach, there are big area around the pools, my wife had a good time in the spa and hamam, the hotel is clean and well maintained despite that it is not new. The staff are nice and professional.

The food quality cool be improved.

The hotel has no gym for adults and has to make more activities for kids cos we are traveling as family with 2 kids.

The Beach and the swimming pool The staff are very friendly and very helpful, especially Sawsan, who was very kind, helpful and always smiling. I would also like to thank Hadeel, Inès and Raed Assoul, all helpful and kind. Overall, the hotel is good, hospitality is great, beach is clean and water is crystal clear, swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) are good.

The property was very nice , my kids loved the indoor and outdoor pool and the beach is amazing but its very hard to find an empty spot.

I didn't like that they are not organized in the spa i paid for a service that i never got because the lady took so long to do my eyebrow so her boss started fighting with her because another costumer is waiting and they asked me to come back another day , they never refund anything and i never went back . Second thing i didn't like is that you have to get a receipt every day before dinner to go get dinner and they will let you know where to stay i found that very annoying .

Super great staff, food, and location.

Outdated rooms but super clean.

The staff were all friendly and welcoming. We stayed half board and the dinner buffet on both nights was outstanding. The indoor and outdoor pools were big, and the beach was clean and well kept. Lots of hotel security presence patrolling the hotel day and night. Another review mentioned that no burkinis were allowed however this is certainly not true, all swimware was allowed. A mixture of guests but mainly Tunisia and Italian. Lots of Italian guests, and the animation team provided evening entertainment for the Italian guests who booked with Veratours who operate out of the hotel.

Upon check-in were were told they had upgraded us from the quadruple room we booked to a suite, the suite however certainly did not feel or look like an upgrade. It was very dated, fridge door hanging off and the views were miserable. Please see photos. One side looked out onto an active building site, and the other although beach facing looked directly onto a maintainence area where at 7.30am staff began to hammer together sunbeds. Another thing to mention is if you close the balcony door while outside, which we did one evening to avoid bugs gettng in, it locks and you can't get back in. The area around the hotel isn't great, so if you don't have a car and would like somewhere with things going on nearby then this might not be fore you. Finally, there were a few animal enclosures we kept encountering inside the hotel, a couple with rabbits and another with birds in, see photo. Not sure how I felt about these, the animals looked content but the enclosures were grubby and smelt. I would say these are not necessary for the hotel to have.

The staff was welcoming and helpful in explaining the area and hotel. The staff at the pool were also lovely and calm. We felt well taken care of. Beautiful views.

The bed was hard but that seems common in Tunisia.
