Unbelievable Tunisia: El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, beautiful, and potentially sunburnt world of El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui in Tunisia! Forget polished brochure speak, let's get real about this place.
Unbelievable Tunisia: El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui Awaits! – The Honest & Hilarious Review
First things first: Accessibility. Okay, so the website claims it's accessible. Frankly, I always side-eye these claims. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I've got enough dodgy knees to appreciate a good ramp. From what I could see, it seems mostly alright, but I'd REALLY recommend calling ahead and grilling them about specific needs. Those Tunisian cobbles? Not your friend, trust me.
On-site restaurants and lounges, specifically wheelchair accessible? Ugh, more homework. I didn't personally test this, but the main areas look promising – wide doors, hopefully level access. But again, call ahead! Don't be shy! Ask about the actual experience. Can you actually get to the buffet without a Herculean effort?
Internet: The Eternal Struggle.
- Internet: Yes, they have it. But… (and this is a BIG but).
- Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms?! YES! Hallelujah! This is a HUGE win, especially if you're like me and need to stay connected for work (or, you know, Instagram stalking).
- Internet [LAN]: Okay, a LAN? In 2024? Bless their cotton socks. Probably a relic from the dial-up era, best ignored.
- Internet Services: Probably all the usual suspects, but don't expect miracles. Expect connection dropouts, and the inevitable moment of screaming into your laptop.
- Wi-Fi in public areas: Present, but expect a battle. My recommendation? Find a good chair by the pool, grab a local beer, and enjoy the chaos.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Shenanigans
Okay, this is where El Mouradi really starts to shine (or at least sparkles a little).
- Pool with a View: Yes! and a good one. I ended up spending most of my time here. Waking up to the sunrise, ordering breakfast from my room and sitting there with coffee and doing my work with this great view.
- Sauna, Steamroom, Spa/Sauna, Body Scrub, Body Wrap, Massage: The holy trinity of relaxation! I am forever a sucker for a good massage. I do recommend you check the prices before committing.
- Gym/fitness: I SAID I WAS HERE TO RELAX! But hey, for the motivated among us, it's there.
- Fitness Center: See above.
- Foot bath: Hmmm, intriguing. Might be worth a try after a day of exploring.

- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Double excellent.
- I'm not going to include all of the items in this section, so let's focus on the most important sections
Cleanliness and Safety: Is it Safe? Is it Clean? The Million-Dollar Question.
This is where it gets a little… complicated. Look, Tunisia isn't known for its clinical perfection. But here's what I observed:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Hopefully! You never know for sure, so I'd bring some of my favorite sanitizing wipes for my own peace of mind.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Allegedly. I saw a lot of folks with mops, so, fingers crossed!
- Hand sanitizer: Present, but maybe bring your own fancy stuff?
- Hygiene certification: Probably. I didn't see it.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Hopefully! Best to ask about their specific protocols when you check in.

- Safe dining setup: Seemed like a good attempt was made!

El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui: The Accidental Adventure (aka, My Brain on Vacation)
Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Question of the Hotel Buffet
- 10:00 AM: Touchdown in Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport. Okay, cool, we made it! That flight was… something. Little kid kicking my seat for the entire duration, the air hostess giving side-eye that could curdle milk, and the sheer existential dread of being trapped in a metal tube hurtling through the air. But hey, we're here!
- 11:30 AM: Transfer to El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui. The bus ride! Oh, the bus ride. Imagine a rollercoaster designed by a committee of particularly enthusiastic goats. The driver? Let's just say he had a "lead foot" and a penchant for honking at anything that moved, including the palm trees.
- 12:30 PM: Check in. First impressions: clean, bright, and… overwhelming. So many people! So much luggage! Where's the bar, already?
- 1:00 PM: The Buffet: A Saga of Self-Control (or Lack Thereof). This is where things get REAL. The buffet. It's like a food free-for-all. Mountains of food staring at me, all vying for attention. I see the "healthier" options - grilled fish, salad, blah blah blah. But then… the pastries! The croissants, glistening under the bright lights… I grabbed three. Okay, four. Fine, five! I'm on holiday, damn it! This is where I fully embraced the "it's a marathon, not a sprint" mentality.
- 2:30 PM: Poolside… kind of. Found a lounger. Felt the sun on my skin. Immediately fell asleep. Woke up with a bird pooping on my shoulder. Welcome to paradise, folks!
- 4:00 PM: Attempt at the beach. Sand! Water! Seagulls doing their obnoxious caw thing. Found a decent spot, but then a loud group of Russians (I think?) set up right next to me blaring euro-pop. Nope. Abandon ship.
- 6:00 PM: The bar! Bliss. Got a cocktail – "The Tunisian Sunset." Tasted suspiciously like fizzy, red-colored juice. But it had alcohol in it so I wasn't complaining.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner (Round 2). More buffet action. Failed attempt at restraint. Pastries again. No regrets.
- 8:30 PM: The hotel entertainment. Let's just say it's… eclectic. Tonight's featuring a belly dancer with questionable hip-hop moves. The vibe: pure, unadulterated cheese. Honestly? I loved it. I really needed some laughter.
Day 2: The Medina, Marble and Meandering
- 9:00 AM: Buffet breakfast. Still going strong on the pastries. Someone needs to stage an intervention.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to Sousse Medina. This is where it gets interesting! The taxi ride was a negotiation in itself. I think I got ripped off, but the driver had the charm of a thousand camels, so I didn't really care.
- 10:30 AM: The Medina! Holy moly! The smells! The sounds! The sheer organized chaos! It was like a sensory explosion. I got about a hundred feet in and got completely lost. Got hustled for a trinket I regret buying (a tiny ceramic camel? Really?) but it's a story later.
- 11:30 AM: The haggling commences. I'm terrible at this. I start laughing and end up paying more than I intended. Bought some spices (trying to remember what the woman told me; it was a lot), a dodgy-looking leather bag that probably won't last a week, and a rug I'm pretty sure is cursed.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch in the Medina. Small cafe. Amazing couscous! I nearly choked on a date because I was laughing so hard at a group of guys arguing in the neighboring table.
- 2:00 PM: More Medina wandering. Got even more lost. Saw a mosque. It was very pretty. Felt a little guilty about not knowing more about Tunisian history.
- 3:00 PM: The Marble Factory: A Quest for Art, Possibly Some Regret. This was the highlight. Found a marble factory outside of the Medina. Saw a man shaping marble, turning it into gorgeous sculptures. He was amazing. We went to look at what he made and even got to try to shop there! He made something beautiful and I bought it and even thought what they showed me was awesome, I think it was a little overpriced. I'm sure I'll regret the purchase, but it's a memory now, and the man was so passionate about what he did.
- 5:00 PM: Taxi back to the hotel. Collapsed on the bed. Exhausted but happy.
- 6:00 PM: Pre-dinner cocktail. This time, a "Port El Kantaoui Dream." Less fizzy juice, more alcohol. Much improved.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner (buffet, shocker). This time, I consciously avoided the pastries. Mostly.
- 8:30 PM: Hotel entertainment. Tonight: karaoke! Oh dear god.
Day 3: Boats, Bumps and, the Unavoidable Pastry Addiction.
- 9:30 AM: Sleep in! (Finally!) Skipped the early buffet rush. Got a decent croissant.
- 10:30 AM: Boat trip. This was supposed to be relaxing. It wasn't. The sea was choppy. I'm pretty sure I saw someone get seasick. Thought I was going to puke. But the view was cool, I guess.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch on the boat. More buffet. More food.
- 2:00 PM: Fell asleep on the boat.
- 3:00 PM: Back at the hotel, sunbathing.
- 4:00 PM: Swimming .
- 6:00 PM: The bar.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner. Got the last of the pastries.
- 8:30 PM: Hotel entertainment. The end.
Day 4: Departure and Reflections (Mostly on Pastries)
- 9:00 AM: Buffet. Final pastry assault.
- 10:00 AM: Last dip in the pool.
- 11:00 AM: Check out. Goodbye, El Mouradi. You were… something.
- 12:00 PM: Airport. Ready to go home.
- Final Thoughts: This trip was a glorious mess. I ate too much, got lost, bought things I didn't need, and probably got a mild case of sunburn. But it was also amazing. The chaos, the smells, the people. I'm exhausted, yet somehow energized. I may need to eat some more pastries to recover, though. And I'll definitely be back. Maybe next time I'll learn to haggle. And maybe I'll conquer my pastry addiction. Probably not, but a girl can dream, right?
Unbelievable Tunisia: El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui Awaits! (Probably) - FAQs That Actually *Get* It
Okay, Seriously, Is El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui Worth It? Like, Actually?
Ugh, that's the question, isn't it? Honestly? It's a mixed bag. Let's be real, it's not the Maldives. Think...a seaside resort town in Tunisia. Think...lots of other tourists. Think...some slightly aggressive shopkeepers. But! That said...the pool situation *slaps*. I spent a ridiculous amount of time floating around, pretending I was some sort of glamorous film star. The food? Hit or miss. One night, the buffet was a culinary adventure, in the best way. Another? Well, let's just say I got very familiar with the bread rolls. It depends on your expectations. If you're expecting perfection? You'll be disappointed. But if you're up for a bit of adventure, some sunshine, and maybe a little haggling? Yeah, it can be worth it. Just don't go expecting a Michelin-starred experience. You'll be fine. Probably.
What’s the Deal with the Beaches Near El Mouradi Port El Kantaoui? Are They Paradise?
Okay, the beach… *deep breath*. It's sand. Brown-ish sand. And the sea? Well, it's the Mediterranean, so it's *generally* blue. But sometimes it's...a bit murky, okay? The water isn't always crystal clear, especially if there's been a bit of a storm. There *are* watersports, which is fun if you're into that sort of thing. And the sun, ah, the sun is glorious. I spent a whole afternoon just lying there, baking, letting the heat melt away all my worries. And...I got a bit of a sunburn, which, lesson learned: wear more sunscreen, dummy. It’s not exactly a pristine, untouched paradise, but it’s definitely a beach. You can swim, you can sunbathe, you can build a sandcastle (if you're into that sort of thing). It's a beach!
What's the Food *Really* Like? Is It All Just Bland Buffets? I'm a foodie!
Oh, lord. The food. The elephant in the room, the reason for all the panicked pre-trip Googling… The buffets! Oh, the buffets. They can be… intense. Sometimes you'll find something absolutely delicious, a hidden gem amidst the… well, the other stuff. I swear, one night I stumbled upon a tagine that was legitimately amazing. Another day, they had a massive platter of fresh fruit that I practically inhaled. (I have a weakness for mangoes). But other times… it's a bit… uniform. The fish can be a little overcooked. The salads can be a bit… limp. Don't get me wrong, you won't *starve*. There are restaurants outside the hotel, which is where you want to be. Seriously. Get out there! Find a local place. The couscous is usually pretty good. And the mint tea? Divine. Just be prepared to experiment, and don't be afraid to try new things! Just… maybe pack some emergency snacks. You know, just in case. And ask for extra harissa, it makes everything better (within reason).
Should I Bother with the Souk? I’m Not a Fan of Aggressive Salespeople.
The souk… ah, the souk. It's a sensory overload. Smells, sounds, sights… and salespeople. Lots and lots of salespeople. They *will* approach you. They *will* try to sell you things. They *will* be persistent. It can be overwhelming if you're not prepared. But… it's also kind of… fun? In a slightly masochistic way. Haggling is part of the culture, so embrace it. Start low, be willing to walk away, and have a laugh. I actually ended up getting some amazing spices, and a ridiculously cheap rug. The best advice I can give you is to pick a few things you like, and then go hard on the haggling. Remember you can *always* say no, and if you're a bit overwhelmed, just smile and walk away. Don't be shy! And prepare your "la, shukran" (no, thank you) - you'll need it.
Is it Safe? Like, Really?
Safety... it's a fair question. Look, I'm not going to lie, before I went I was a little worried. There are some security measures, there are security personnel. Use common sense. Keep an eye on your belongings. Don’t flash your cash around. But overall, I felt… okay. I never felt genuinely *unsafe*. Like, I'm not saying it's Disneyland, but I didn't experience anything that made me feel threatened. But it's wise to always be aware of your surroundings, wherever you are. Listen to local advice. Ask the hotel staff about areas to avoid. Trust your gut. If something *feels* wrong… it probably is. And always, always, lock your valuables in the safe. And maybe leave your flashiest jewellery at home. And take the same precautions you'd take anywhere else.
What Do I *Really* Need to Pack? Besides, you know, the obvious stuff.
Okay, essential packing list, from someone who maybe overpacked a bit. Sunscreen. Lots of it. A good hat. Sunglasses – essential. Comfortable shoes for walking (and maybe sandals for the pool… or for looking stylish, I don't judge). A phrasebook (knowing a few basic Arabic phrases is *hugely* helpful). Some sort of scarf or shawl (to cover your shoulders if you're visiting religious sites, or just for a bit of modesty). A phone charger, obviously. Adaptors, depending on where you're from. And here's the really important bit: **A sense of humor.** You'll need it, trust me. Oh, and another thing: **Antibacterial wipes.** Just… trust me on this one. And possibly some Pepto-Bismol. Or Imodium. or whatever your preferred tummy-calming product is. (The food, remember?) And leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs. You'll be tempted, I promise.
Okay, You Mentioned the Pool. Tell Me *Everything* About the Pool.
The pool… ah, the blessed pool. I spent *hours* in that pool. Days, even. It was the highlight of my trip, hands down. The one I stayed at had multiple pools – a main one, a quieter one, a kids' pool… I probably tried them all. The water was cool, refreshing, and perfectly blue.
