This a must go. Having been to Tunisia before and being very unimpressed (5*s are definitely NOT 5*s in Tunisia!) I didn't have hight hopes for this trip but as this was the closest warmest destination for a March getaway we decided to settle on Hasdrabul.

I could not have been more impressed and I am pretty damned picky about everything! Aesthetics were lovely - the hotel is huge and communal areas are spacious and marbled - outdoor pools and beach are beautiful and clean and rooms are suites with huge King Size beds, seating areas and seperate toilets/bathrooms.

I'm also a massive food snob but had very very good meals here - breakfast was good, lunch was better, dinner was fantastic!! Good quality ingredients simply cooked - I would reccommend the Gourmet and Traditional Tunisian restaurant for meals.

The spa facilities were excellent, one of the widest ranges I have seen - they do everything from wraps to massages, beauty treatments and have a lovely tea place in the middle to relax and sip free tea. Dont feel you have to have a treatment though as the salt water pools, hammam and sauna are free and very good.

The area was on the VERY quiet side but this I think was due to the fact it was March - if your looking for a quiet, relaxing, luxury holiday with good food and an abundance of pampering - this place is for you.

My wife and I stayed here as part of a longer trip in Tunisia (we eventually made our way south to Ksar Ghilane). The rooms (all suites) were spacious and well-appointed, they have very nice views and private balconies, and the rest of the facilities are very good. The staff were all pretty courteous, and while not extremely helpful, very polite and attentive. The hotel is located on the far southern end of Yasmine, so it might not be convenient unless you take taxis everywhere or have a rental car (we had the latter, so it was actually preferable). One recommendation, though: go into town or elsewhere for your meals. The food at the restaurants is only mediocre, and the service at the restaurants was even worse. This was the only disappointment while we were there. There are some very good places to eat in Hammamet (15min drive), and I suggest you do that as often as you can.

One more tip: call the hotel directly to book instead of booking online - you will get a slightly cheaper rate (at least this is what they told us when we checked in).

All in all, this was the best place we stayed while in Tunisia in terms of the quality of the place and the rooms, though of course it was also the most expensive. We enjoyed our stay.

Hadrabul offers a private beach, large out door pool and indoor heated seawater pool with thalassotherapy facilities as well as a large spa. The staff were excellent as was the four onsite restaurants with outdoor dining for breakfast and lunch. The rooms were huge and extremely comfortable- I would highly recommend this hotel

Wow! Wow! and WOW!! What a great hotel and holiday at the Hasdrubal Thalassa and Spa hotel in Yasmine Hammamet.
Not going to go too in depth, but it's a must visit.
Nice thing is that, there, you can brush up on your languages as there are many French, Italian and Arabic voices bouncing around and hardly any English! Makes you feel that you have travelled more than 3hrs for the heat and culture.
Yasmine Hammamet is by far much better than Hammamet itself, due to not getting hassled, cleaner and relatively 'Chav Free'.
With Yasmine Hammamet being known as the St Tropez of Africa, the style at The Hasdrubal Thalassa Spa Hotel definately fits in well and caters for those discerning clients.
Hotel restaurants are very good indeed. You are never rushed. We spent just over 3 hours for dinner one night - Our Choice.
The spa is to die for. Call the hotel in advance and book the treatments before you arrive. They are similar prices to UK but seem much better!

We can't wait to visit again. Off now to buy my Vilebrequins'!

Bon Voyage.
