We stayed at the Jaz Tour Khalef from 24th Feb to 2nd March. We had an evening flight and arrived at the hotel around 9pm. Check in was quick and easy with the man on reception being super attentive. Our room had to have something double checked so he sent us to the bar for a drink and along with the others who arrived with us, were advised that they would have food available in the restaurant at 10pm. This was specially for us having arrived after mealtime and was definitely appreciated. Our room was a Superior Garden View. We had room B513. This room looked out to the rear garden area and looking to the side from the balcony we could also see the sea. The room was spacious, clean, light and airy with a huge bathroom. A fridge was provided in the room, and is located in a cupboard. Looked like it had seen better days but we had no need to use it. Room had air con and heating and plenty of storage for clothes etc, and a safe. The hotel and grounds were lovely. The main pool is stunning and has day beds, loungers in the shallow water and also round the pool. The lifeguard was super helpful and would always locate beds and cushions. He would also always provide a weather forecast - knowing us hardy Scots could be more likely to sunbathe than others from hotter countries. While the outside bar beside the pool was closed, the snack bar is adjacent and is open. The barmen - also wonderful, would do laps of the pool making sure everyone has a drink. Even filled my cup without me asking rather than bring me a paper cup. We ate all our meals in the hotel restaurants and enjoyed everything we had. Again, the waiting staff are absolutely fantastic. They will locate you a table and provide drinks. Nothing is too much trouble. Selection of food was huge. Breakfast included all the usual continental offerings of bread, cheese, meats, cereal, pastries etc along side the cooked foods; eggs, meats, beans. There was a station making fresh omelettes, another for pancakes and another for doughnuts. At lunch and tea time there is a pizza station, pasta station, Tunisian station and 2 grill stations all cooking a variety of options - alongside all the hot prepared self service foods, salads, fruit, desserts etc. There is also ice cream and sorbet available. We ate in Le Oliveraie restaurant on Italian night. We had planned this before we travelled and assumed it was a la carte. On booking we were asked if we would like beef or fish. We chose beef and were intrigued how our meal would go. We were more than happy with the attentiveness of the normal waiting staff - the experience in the Italian was amazing. We were seated and presented with a tray with several small sharing dishes. This was followed by 3 small bowls of pasta, also for sharing. After we then got some carpaccio. Everything to this point was a mix of seafood and meat. Then we received our beef - a steak cooked to our preference, with sauce, potatoes and veg. Final course was dessert of tir
