What can you say other than FantastiC. From the waiters to the GM of the hotel, to the pool guys to Thompson reps. This place won't let you down. The only small blip is the seaweed that turns up on the beach from nowhere. N as for the food, so so good, so much choice. If your going to book... More

10 day break here from 6 to 16 may 2012 - weather great. Only box not ticked was the beach ( seaweed & camel dung ) The general manager, personally, explained the sea weed was a bi--annual event on the spring & autumn eqinox. Sure enough as the week went on the tide gradually took the seaweed away! Hotel, if... More

My wife and I have just returned from a 7 night stay at this hotel travelling with Thomson Holidays. We had a large junior suite with pool and side views of the sea. The room was very clean and welcoming. We were upgraded by Thomson's from H/B to All inclusive. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were to a very high standard... More

It's important to acknowledge that of the many hotels we have stayed in, a 5* hotel in Tunisia didn't quite equate to the same impeccable standards as we have experienced in 5* boutique Europe. That said, the staff, the welcome, the attention to detail and our overall stay far exceeded most of our experiences elsewhere! It took a few days... More

This was our fourth stay at this hotel and it is such a reliable place to stay. We usually come with Thompsons, but didn't like their flight times so booked independently through the hotel and booked flights with Tunis air. We arranged a taxi fom the hotel to pick us up from Tunis airport and to take us back. This... More

We just returned from a 10 day stay booked through Thomson Holidays. The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and bent over backwards to meet our needs. We had a large room looking out over the grounds to the ocean. We went end Feb/beg of March and the weather was changeable and cold in the wind, and they brought... More

A truly wonderful place to stay. I took my girlfriend to Hammamet for her birthday and we were both blown away by this hotel. It was January, winter in Tunisia but plenty warm enough for a British couple. We pretty much had the spa, indoor pool and private beach to ourselves. The room was huge with its own balcony overlooking... More

We used to try and imagine what staying in a high class hotel in the French riviera used to be like and now we don't need to anymore. Our second stay in this property (previously in 2008) has been nothing short of 'magnifique' with absolutely nothing but praise for every aspect. We booked with the hotel directly and they were...
