Ok, not the cheapest price for an hotel in Tunis, but it is a real 5* by Leading Hotels with very good TA reviews and it is during Christmas Holidays. Looks like a good mistake considering that other rooms are priced exactly ten times more...
Free cancellation, I am not sure if the use of the heated pool and spa is included. Buffet breakfast is included.
Bookable directly on hotel website here:

Thanks for the heads up! I have a friend in Tunis that I have been wanting to visit for awhile. This might give me the push that I need. I booked for a week over New years. It appears that dates don't show up into the new year unless your stay includes days in December.

tboons

the deal is dead

MrHalliday

Agreed. Back to $401.

chokdee

Certainly not agreed. It is still very much available for 7 nights.

26/12-30/12 and 2/1-5/1.

Assuming remaining offer rooms are not booked out expect it to disappear rather abruptly first thing Monday morning when normal working day begins in Tunis.

MrHalliday

OK, sorry, Chokdee.
I only re-checked the 6 nights I booked yesterday.

I wasn't sure how this one would go,
but they did not charge my AX card,
only ran the usual authorization check for a $.

I doubt I can make it, but maybe.
LHW sent me a reminder to join their club (150$?)
but we already get breakfast !

chokdee

Ah the club reminder...I seem to remember getting a few of those before a mistake rate stay with LHW at Gleneagles Hotel Scotland post Ryder cup last year but since both breakfast and evening meal at any of their 3 restaurants was also included I too politely ignored the offer.

I did however partake in enjoying a few fine old Scotch whiskeys at the Gleneagles club house

Sorry about that Mr Holliday, the counteroffer doesn't look very cooperative unless you really need to stay there.

MrHalliday

Don't be sorry, I am not.

I have high standards after 10+ years of these deals.
I think 1 baht per night for Phuket HI is about right.
Or top 5* in Stockholm for 5K IHG points...

AlmostJesus

I tried to counteroffer back the original price + a good review. They were uninterested.
Oh well, on to the next deal.
