Hi Christine 06

I stayed at the Kanta in August, their was alot of flys if you ate at the pool snack bar. But it was very hot and you will always find flys where theres food where ever you are in the world. The food is freshly prepared so there isn't any food just left around for them to land on and everything is cleared away as soon as your finished. Don't worry just enjoy your time there, don't let the flys put you off.

i went in June and I didn t see any flies anywhere but maybe it was the time of year.
As for the internet in the Kanta there is one computer and you pay 10 dinar for about half an hour (sorry can t remember exact prices) It worked but it wasn't as fast at home. But it ll do just for checking e mails. And Haddy3 its fine to mention my name I don t mind answering questions as I had more than enough of them my self before I went to Tunisia :lol:

happy holidays You ll have a great time!!

Hi christine 06, la lorientaise is right there is internet access but we never used it so i can't comment. As for the sun beds no you don't have to pay for them round the pool or at the beach but we used give the guy 1 dinar for getting us the matress. The beach is lovely and even in august there were always plenty of beds available no matter what time of day you go. It is quite a walk but the hotel provides a tuk tuk service from reception direct to the beach, about every 5 to 10 minutes or so. no charge but again we used to give the driver a dinar tip each trip well worth it as it was far too hot to walk with beach towels sun lotion etc. Any other questions just ask.

This was our 2nd time in PEK, first time was 5 years ago. We don't usually go to the same place twice and it definately won't be the last time however we like to go tp other places too so it maybe another 5 years before we go back but i can say it will be back to the port and the Kanta as it's a great location. If you decide to do any of the trips the 2 day safari is a definate must. we always do a couple of trips where ever we go and that has to be the most unforgetable one yet.

Christine 06, when we went 1 dinar was approx 40 pence

Hotel kanta

I would definately go back to Tunisia but to Sousse next time. Nothing wrong with Port El Kantoui. The only thing was in my opinion it was like any other holiday resort. I just found Sousse more real and personaly prefered it. But then, some people hate Sousse (don t know why)
PEK is great for a first voyage to Tunisia! I would definately stay at the Kanta again though I d love it if the Kanta or Marhaba palace were in Sousse. But I d probably have to take a gamble on hotels when I go back there.
But in any case Sousse is only 20 minutes away by Tuk tuk from PEK. So you get the best of both worlds there really!

Hotel Kanta: Air conditioning?

Folks

Just booked for the Hotel Kanta after reading the reviews. Coudnt see anywhere on the brochure description if there was Air Con in the rooms or the hotel as a whole?

Thanks

Air conditioning

Don t worry! There is air conditioning in the hotel. We found it to be very good and the room was just right when we would come back from a night out.

Hi Christine, am going 30June 2007 or two weeks, a long way off, but can't wait. First time in Tunisia, and as usual, have found HT invaluable for hints tips and advice. Holidays are an expensive thing and its best to go forewarned!

Kanta Hotel

Have just booked the Kanta Hotel in PEK. Went to PEK about 10 years ago, having problems trying to picture where it is, what hotel it's near to.

Have been reading some of the reviews and have mixed feelings on this hotel, but then like it's been said before everyone is different.

Thanks :pele
