The reps were very lovely and energetic - they offer lots of activities, if you like that. Brilliant with children. Great food if you are carnivorous. Lovely pool area surrounded by beautiful olive and palm trees. Fabulous massage at the spa. Excellent, friendly staff.

Good value for money and pleasant stay at this all inclusive at £315 pp. incl. flights for 7 nights. Not comparable to 5 stars elsewhere but has a lot of amenities for the price we paid. Rooms clean and cleaned daily. Outdoor and indoor pool with a sauna free to use for all guests. Paid for spa (seperate area but part of the hotel) massage and hamman. Really recommend as both were lovely. Massage also included time in an additional indoor heated sea water pool in the price . You can also pay for the sea pool for half an hour/day. Food was a good selection compared to other all inclusives but definitely catered more towards french/tunisians. Lots of choices for salad and dishes changed daily. Fish of the day, stuffed veg and kebab were favourites. Pizza served at lunch and dinner was often cold. The chef would warm it up for you if asked. Heat lamps not the best so would recommend an early seating to ensure your food is hot. Continental breakfast is good with omlettes and crepes but don't expect a full English. Dont go here if all you want to eat are burgers and chips. A conference was held for a couple of days and we noticed the lunch and dinner quality and choice increased significantly. For example prawn cocktails and shrimp were served during this time. Oranges and dates were the only fruit served except for the occasional strawberry on the chocolate puddings. Noticed no high chairs for children. They have some entertainment budget with a singer and a band playing at the weekend but I think you'd be better off getting a taxi into town as downstairs gets quite busy with families and it becomes hard to find a seat. Entertainers worked hard and constantly checked in to pass on info about the events. The wine was nice. The cocktails used cheap alcohol but this is typical with all inclusives. Wine, beer and branded soft drinks served with dinner. Hot drinks tasted weird from the machines, mint tea was lovely though. Coke zero available. Bar staff very friendly and overall service was amazing. Our stay included a complimentary visit at the a la carte restaurant but the hotel failed to tell us this was only open 2 days a week and so we were unable to go. Location is on the edge of all the resorts but still only 20 min walk from shops and a museum. What would make my review 5 stars: more entertainment in the day such as dance lessons, yoga etc.; better quality cocktails (more coconut in the piña coladas); better hot drinks; stronger heat lamps to keep food hot;more communication about the a la carte restaurant.

A nice, clean hotel with fantastic staff. Friendly and so helpful. Food was very good especially the mloukhya (speciality black stew) with enough choice so you wont go hungry. Rooms are quite large and absolutely fine. My only gripe would be the spa and gym area. The spa has very much a business feel than a chill vibe. We booked a couple of hour long massages each. First time l felt the massage wasnt as long as an hour but there are no clocks so difficult to gauge. Second time l took my phone. Hour long massage lasted 40 minutes. Not good. If l stayed here again l would do spa/hammam etc externally. We did that in Morocco through Getyourguide and it was fab. The gym. Has 4 sets of dumbells, 3kg is the max. Aircon doesnt work and some machines broken. Keep away from these two areas and it will be great.

As others have said, the hotel rooms could do with a refurb which I believe they have started. The restaurant staff were absolutely lovely. My mum wasn’t feeling great during the trip and without hesitation they took it upon themselves to help her with her plates and support her to the table each day. The entertainment during the day was good, different activities going on where they were keen to get people involved. A beach at the bottom of the road with a free tuk tuk running from the hotel to the beach, although it’s easily walking distance. Good excursions going on. The guys in the hotel shop are really genuine and keen to offer help and advice about Hammamet as well as really honest prices in their shops. The rooms were fine, beds pretty comfortable, the view isn’t the best. The hotel is generally clean just a bit dated
