Nothing cheeky in the price adjustment. You will never get today’s on the spot-the same day-price like the price booked in advance one week before and online
@@rabiizenati4254 if you listened carefully, I said I found it cheeky that they said they’re fully booked and we can’t stay, however at a 50% price increase, they miraculously found a room. Why not be honest and say “we have a room, but you have to pay more” 🤷♀️
I'm sorry but 50£ is nothing in tunisia and even in your country so before complaining about food consider the price point. If you pay more you get more there are multiple hotels in tunisia that are way more expensive like "La badira", or "hasdrubal" or even "les orangers" in hammamet. Speaking about your reservation problem, the extra money paid is totally normal for a same day reservation all around the world
I think he's referring to the tourist tax, its normally included in TUI bookings but they probably messed up. Onthebeach don't include it but they do mention that it will cost extra when you book, I paid £34 tourist tax for 2 people for 5 days. The phenicia was definitely a good hotel, les orangiers was next door and did look fancy but I was happy with the staff at the phenicia.
@@andrewhoult no sir they are talking about the price going up a little bit because they came to the hotel a week late. Do you actually think that such mistake can cost you 0£ in any country you visit ? of course not.
@@youssefjouini7850 Fair enough then, didn't notice the week late bit. Normally I'd expect bookings through agencies like TUI and they do often include all extras etc. Looking at Yads other vids it seems like they are in Tunisia for a while rather than a specific booked trip from the UK so they may have done it direct with the hotel. I did have to pay tourist tax myself at the hotel but perfectly normal if not through one of the larger agencies and I wasn't bothered about the cost. It was strange to see all the paperwork they had to do though, I didn't have any of that at the Phenecia. They also had fresh fruit and squeezed juice out at breakfast, no problem.
no fresh fruit is really sad, i was staying in Iberostar kuriat palace in Monastir and there i paid 630 euro for 7 nights and there they had fresh fruit and fresh pressed juices every morning, and fresh fruit at lunch and dinner to. And also there was always live cooking/baking at breakfast, lunch and dinner. and in between there was more food, drinks and snacks in a smaller restaurant. So my tip in Tunisia is to book at any iberostar hotel
Nice to see you again in tunisia, beatiful Aya 💖seems enjoying her stay in hammamet 🏖. I recommend you when you don't find something on buffet, just ask for it and don't hesitate to talk to the chef to improve his work.
You have a very sweet baby girl, 13:47 such a cute voice ❤ Hope you enjoy all the positive sides of Tunisia.. if you happen to know some friendly Tunisian you'll definitely learn to know Tunisian hospitality, far away from lucrative businesses 😊😅
Thank you so much, she’s a cutie! Yes, we’ve met many Tunisian people during our travels, and they have been nothing but kind, helpful and hospitable 😊
To be honest , what you need to know about hotels is that they sell their rooms to Tour Operators like TUI in this case at a volume and much cheaper rate. The part you said it was cheeky it’s actually what a normal Tunisian or any customer who walks in would have paid. The blame is on TUI that have had to readjust your reservation. As for the food I completely agree very poor , there is a lot better places , a 5 star also should provide smellies in the room all dishes and cutlery should be branded . I would say that’s more of a 4 star standard not including the food
Well did you book the same room in the beginning? Was the room you booked the same price, with the ocean view? If not, they were looking at the same price and room you booked and those were not available. Honestly 150£ for the room you got is decent
The hotel told us they’re fully booked and we can’t stay, then miraculously found a room for extra money - my point is, why not be straight forward and just say the rooms are more expensive now, would have happily paid avoiding the whole commotion.
It was a good resort, especially the view from the room. I think the food was the worst part, but you know, some people are not good enough in cooking, some are not good enough in reservations.😂
I stayed 5 days in the phenecia hotel in hammamet sud recently, £390 all inc for 2 people and that included the flights... The hotel was actually really good along with the tours they could arrange (£100 for 2 for an all day visit to Tunis inc Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and the souk and they also did a quad bike and camel ride trip for £40 for 2 direct from the hotel and they charged using UK bank visa in sterling, no currency exchange costs). Wish I could say the same for the hawkers but they seemed really desperate in December to grab tourists and try to sell stuff at ludicrously inflated prices. The worst was yasmine hammamet medina with conmen all over the place. On the flip side they did have some fixed price shops that were alright and a few smaller shops here and there that were reasonable. Pupput just down the beach from the phenecia is well worth a visit too, some roman mosaics sat out in the open. Food was actually very impressive, better in fact than the usual stuff in the canaries for example. The hotel staff seemed to manage English better than Morocco too imho, despite me having decent french and some basic arabic they insist on it :) The airport security at Enfidah is a bit of a nightmare as there are several sections to go through and even a drug swab on the way out which didn't allow us to get a smoke in (of normal tobacco I'd have to add after reading this back lol) before catching the plane but at least its under 3 hours for the flight. My guess is its best in summer as you probably won't get hassled by street vendors as much and more stuff is open etc but its definitely a bargain destination in winter and the weather is reasonable around 18-20C or so.
Of course 😊 We never suggested this is a representation of all hotels in Tunisia. The food in Tunisia has been amazing all throughout, so we were expecting similar level. I’m sure there are plenty of amazing hotels out there!
what you saying doesn't make a since, hotel booking is like any other booking and same as a flight ticket always the price is more expensive when you make it on the spot and the same day
