Hotel Nour Palace Resort & Thalasso Mahdia

This is our maybe over 20th time in Mahdia and we never get bored of it! Every year, I return to Nour Palace in Mahdia, and every year, I fall in love with it all over again. This place is truly special, not just because of its stunning beachfront location or delicious food, but because of the warmth and kindness of the people who work there. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed like family. The hospitality is unlike anywhere else. The hotel has everything you could wish for great rooms, a beautiful beach just steps away, a relaxing spa, and entertainment for all ages. Whether you want to relax by the pool, walk along the sandy shore, or enjoy tasty Tunisian and international dishes, it’s all here. You honestly don’t need to travel around Europe to find a perfect holiday – Nour Palace has it all, and more. What keeps me coming back the most are the people. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always smiling. You can feel that they genuinely care about your stay and go the extra mile to make it unforgettable. It’s the warmth of the people that makes this place feel like home. If you’re looking for a place where you can relax, enjoy good food, feel welcome, and have everything you need for a perfect vacation , this hotel is it. Can’t wait to be back next year!

very pleasant stay at the nour palace hotel, our first stay in Tunisia and not the last, I must praise the very professional staff, especially the waiter at the restaurant Atefa H. who always seated us, prepared the table and took care of us, a very nice and skillful waiter, I must not forget Sahem who was also always helpful and the best waiter at the bar is AYMEN, always smiling and the coffee was always from him, thank you very much for a pleasant stay

The rooms were fine. I really liked the dining room which was renovated. Great program for guests and relaxing by the pool.

The hotel is beautiful,near the beach. ☀️️ The food in restaurant was excellent. Rooms are cleaned every day. All people in hotel are friendly to us. Every night we have disco night with animator. We dance, we sing and we do a lot of different things.We wish all the best for everybody in this place. The guest service is very friendy and if you have any questions,she will answer.

Mahdia is a beautiful small city. Hotel Nour Palace is located 7-10 minutes by car to centre. We stayed here 7 nights and what I can say is: Staff is very friendly ( animation team is good but every day is the same so it really gets boring, they really should find some better options) Food is good but definitelly needs some improvement (they only serve one type of breed after few days it really gets boring) Usually food is mostly the same every day but everyone can find something for themselves. Rooms are fine. Pool and beach to the sea are good too, but beach is getting closed at 18 o'clock so there is no chance for sunset/sunrise walks. Thankfully, there are nearby beaches where you can enjoy sunsets. Not a bad experience but as I previously said it definitelly needs improvements.

There was quite a few recent negative reviews, so naturally I was a bit worried if I made a right choice. The "pressure" was eased immediately upon arrival, as I arrived into nice spacious and somewhat luxurious looking lobby, with panoramic sea view and was greeted by very friendly host. The hotel is very big, getting to my room (second to last section) was quite a journey! I booked sea view room, and while it was technically true, I could see the sea even standing at the very door, it was just a glimpse of the sea, it was more of a pool view room. Room itself was rather big and very standard with nothing notably good or horribly wrong about it, however socket next to bed was not working. Some people here emphasize random cracks in tiles or scratch in paint as some sort of horror, and yes, there was some of these in my room here and there, but to me this is completely normal and expected, given amount of different people who live in these rooms every year. There is however a problem that a lot of people seemed to be having - doors! A lot of people, me included, seemed to be struggling opening doors with keycards, there is apparently very special speed at which you have to swipe, too fast or too slow and it doesn't work, impossible to explain, just have to get the "feel" of it. Cleaning lady saw me struggling once and kindly offered to show how it is done (twice in a row without fail). And yet, by the end of the week it could still take me 1-3 tries, better than at first, but never got this art of opening door perfected. My room was cleaned every day. Some "fresh" towels and sheets did have some stains on them, unfortunately. While I'm fine with cracks in tiles and paint, stained towels and sheets I am not fine with. Some reviewers complained about lack of WiFi in rooms and claimed that it only worked at reception. Wifi was fine in my room, which was far from reception. Wifi was also working at pool, reception, buffet, amphitheatre. The other question is that it can be unstable at times. The beach here is great! It is right outside and it is a fine sand, there is no need for watershoes. Beautiful turquoise very warm water. Blue jellyfish are rather common in water, some say "ew", I like jellyfish! One day I also saw a seahorse, which I never saw "in the wild" before! Beach bar is available and serves drinks like beer, coffee and various soft drinks. A couple of steps away is a pool bar, which in addition to drinks also serves snacks throughout the day, but nothing fancy, I usually preferred to save stomach space for proper buffet meal. A lot of people complained about lack of sunbeds at the beach and claimed that all are taken as early as 6:30 in the morning. Well, I found this to not be true at all. Yes, all the most convenient spots are taken/reserved by early birds, however there was always plenty of unused and still stacked sunbeds available. I've been spending most of my time at the beach and there were definitely unused and unclaim
