First let us thank you for supporting and encouraging us during the last few months; all your messages and comments melted our hearts and gave us the positive energy and motivation to overcome the hard times as well as patience to look for better days.
We can finally say waiting is worth it and that little by little, we can once again put plans in place for holidays and become the big family that we have been up to so far 🙂
And now, with the arrival of better days we wanted to send you an important message: Marhaba Hotels take care of you and your holidays will be as relaxing and fun as always yet very safe. It is to recall that the World Health Organization ranked Tunisia in top 5 countries in the world when it comes to safest covid destinations for holidays.
We are ready and glad to welcome you back with the commitment to offering trust and confidence through your care and well-being while you enjoy your stay.
The new normal: maximum guest care with raising standards of hygiene and quality
For over 50 years our aim is to create a complete hospitality experience for family holidays. The new normal is still about feeling free and unforgettable memories but with a twist of increasing safety and health standards in the face of new challenges that have arisen. And actually a little distance is not so bad after all; it means more space, more relaxation and more fun.
