We have just returned from this hotel after two weeks stay the hotel is set in its own grounds as you can see from my photos.
The beach is great it was hot in the ninties the sea great and our room was basic but clean and was looked after vey well for the two weeks i cannot fault that. The animation team did a great job with activities throughout the day and the entertainment was not bad at night we had a different act on every night this was about it. The food was cold every night and their was no selection it was chicken every night same veg rice and cous cous and chips and sweets were melon and a piece of sponge cake every night it was bad, you are given a table when you arrive and this table is yours for your stay well it is all rush from when you walk through the resturant doors we were in and out in 40 min this included drinking a bottle of wine the out side resturants on the hotel grounds where you can have snacks and your lunch were just as bad the food arrived cold we did not get some meals we orded and did not get some drinks either. It is very bad management and untill that is sorted it will not get any better.
the water sports from the beach are their as we found out after staying their for 13 days when the beach had pedlows banana boat rids etc and a price board this was to please the visit from a manager or owner was due this was the only day these were out all the outher days the lads just sat around or whent chating up the girls i would not go back

I booked this hotel as a three star, clean, on the beach hotel.

The hotel is located on the beach but some of the buildings are situated at the back and with no direct paths some of the rooms are actually quite a distance from the beach. The way to the beach contains lots of stairs (have to be careful in slippery slippers). It appears whoever designed the hotel love stairs - as on the way to the beach on a flat path there is a flight of stairs up then down.

I found meals really awful with no meat of reasonable quality (there were bad quality sausages / meat balls but no proper meat). The choice of food was quite limited and I saw cockroaches in the canteen.

Rooms were very basic, not particularly clean with lot's of broken things (like toilet seat not staying in upward position, door locks, doors not working properly, peeling paint etc.

The beach was quite nice. Though I would not advise venturing to the beach after dark as there is a risk of being pested by beggars who will try to literally force you to buy jasmine flowers and other things. They are known to have robbed at east one person of money and digital camera during my stay in Tunisia.

I would advise people to avoid engaging in any discussion with souvenir sellers (either on the beach or in shops outside of the hotel). Their selling techniques are aggressive and unless you have several fit men in the group walk very fast past them. Other shops (like fruit sellers, supermarkets) are OK.

We don't understand all the argues about the fourati. We stayed there for a bit mor than a week and the only thing we didn't liked was the weather. The hotel itself is the oldest hotel of fourati with a wunderfull garden. Reception is not that friendly but all the rest (including the room cleaning man) have been very friendly to us. Meals have been great and the beach is also nice there. It is definitly not a luxury hotel, but they also don't tell this with showing their 3 stars. But it has nice rooms, different restaurants and pools and they do a lot of effort for their flower-rich garden. So we would suggest it, apart of you really only like 5 star hotels.

Back last night from a 1 week stay in Fourati Hotel. This is our second visit to this hotel. The people all worked very hard, and did everything they could to please you. Room was ok and a nice touch was the flowers that were placed on the bed for our arrival.Food was ok but sometimes not very hot, after speaking to the rep it inproved greatly, the rep was fantastic with lots of tips and and a great knowledge of the area. No one in the hotel tried to overcharge us but watch out for the guy who sells the bingo tickets at night, he said he didnt have changed so would return our 5 dina change later, when we saw him later he said he would return it the next night, this went on until we left and still no sign of the 5 dinar, this guy didnt seem to get many tips like the waiters did so maybe he feels this is the only way he can get a few extra dinar, 5 dinar isnt that much, but it put a dampner on things a bit. The pools and the pool areas were always clean and the gardens at this time of year are fantastic. Went on 2 trips, the camel ride and a pirate ship both both very good. 2 dogs are around the hotel a lot, they are very friendly and seem to be well fed and the staff all seem to be good to them. All in all we enjoyed this hotel and would go back again
