“Excellent Holiday - Excellent Price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Went with my boyfriend (aged 22; I'm 19) for 11 nights in July and had a lovely time! Driving through Tunisia on the way to the hotel we were a bit worried as it looked a bit dirty and the location wasn't great, but as soon as we walked through the doors we knew we'd have a good time. The reception was lovely, as were all the staff. The food was good, but a little repetitive, but it was well worth going all inclusive for the drinks and snacks throughout the day. Even the beach is only a 2 minute walk down away and was lovely, although we did get hassled to buy some scarves etc by a young boy who was not part of the hotel. We were amazed at how nice the room was; we didn't have a sea view and overlooked the front of the hotel so saw the sunset in the evenings without paying the extra cost for the sea views! The hotel was excellent and couldn't fault it but we would stay in Yasmin Hammamet, rather than Hammamet if we were to go to Tunisia again, purely because there was nothing to do outside of the hotel and beach. In saying this, it only costs 4 dinars (£2) to take the 20 minute taxi ride to Yasmin Hammamet so isn't too much of an issue at all! Excellent holiday overall.

“Lovely time we had...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

My hunsband and i travelled in August 2011 and had a lovely week away. The hotel was very comfy, the rooms on first apperance wasnt the most upmarket but for the time you spent in the rooms they were clean and fair. The only thing we missed in the room was a kettle to make a brew in the morning. lol as this holiday was all inclusive you had to go to the restaurant for a drink. You could always find something to eat in the restaurant so never went hungry although a week was enough eating the same food. The pools were set in lovely grounds and the beach was 2 seconds away. We didnt take our children on this break but would have been happy to do so as the activities looked good. There was always something to do for them. We are looking at going back with the children although we were told that thomsons wasnt having the hotel in 2012 and was going to be a thomas cook! Do it book it...

Room Tip: Sea views are a joke but let that put you off.

“good enough”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

this is quite a nice place to stay. the drink come in very small plastic cups. the food is really good. the pirate ship is a bit of a waste of money. simply sahara was one of the most treasured memories i will ever have, truley amazing!! the staff are very kind and helpful. the major downfall for us was smoking is allowed in the buiding. there are small shops outside the hotel but didn't feeel safe enough to them without a crowd of us.

Room Tip: sea veiw are well worth the extra!

“FLIES”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Have visited tunisia on numerous ocassions, but not Hammamet, or the RIU Park, El Kebir. Found the hotel, food, and staff excellent. The location is quite isolated, but is compensated by being, literally on the beach. The animation team, you either loved them or hate them. Unfortunately picked up a stomach bug, which lasted 10 days, (could have picked it up anywhere, as ate at other locations), so will give the hotlel the benefit of doubt.

My only negative about this hotel was flies. I have visted various locations in Tunisia, and have never had a problem. Mozzies yes, flies no! The moment you lay on the sun lounger by the pool or on the beach they were on you. And they never gave up! I only got some respite when I sprayed myself with mozzie spay! Would not return to this hotel again due to this.

Room Tip: Ask for a sea view.
