I am a pretty easy going traveller and I can usually adapt to any situation. Myself and my boyfriend stayed here and it was terrifing...from dodgy people in the lobby trying to sell you trips to the staff that worked there. We 'had a look' in the restaurant and opted to eat away for fear of food poison.

Please don't go here if you want a nice holiday. I have no idea why people are saying it's not so bad....IT IS BAD!! Everything about it is bad...do yourself a favour and don't stay here.

We actually went there in March 2009 (for some reason I could put 2009) and I can believe that it has gone down, we were there just as it was taken over by the new management, and on our second to last day we went out for a walk and came back to find the Bar har been altered.. to the extent of where there were large windows and glass doors too the bar being open plan, it was hilarious! the entertainment back then was a joke.. it was the worst in Tunisia... the bar was expensive, the ladies toilet was either flooded in darkness or both and never had any toilet rolls, food food was OK not as bad as what people are saying now, we were half board. of a lunch time we went out because the food from the "cheers" bar was terrible,I cant comment on that bar of a night because we never entered it, The shakespear pub was lovely and did lovely Sunday Roasts. The rooms were Ok, like a few on here our toilet and sink didnt work coreectly and our door was faulty, but depsite all of that we had a good time, infact had a proper giggle, but then again a holiday is what you make it....

We have been going to this hotel since 2003. This year will be our 12th time to the Bel Air. In 2009 this hotel went under new management & the entertainment team was replaced etc, I love the Bel Air & it is like my second home, however I can agree with some reviews during the time of 2009/2010 as the Bel Air had certainly changed & wasn't like it used to be. The Bel Air is now back under old management with the old entertainment back & I can't wait to return in August.

From the moment you arrive at the Bel Air you get a warm welcome, all of the staff are very friendly & helpful. The Hotel has 3 bars, Cheers Bar, Four Seasons & Las Palmas. Four Seasons is the Hotel Bar & closes at night after the entertainment however Cheers Bar & Las Palmas stay open till the early morning playing loud music. If you want to go out of the Hotel at night just over the road is a nightclub called Latinos (formerly British Bar) & also if you go out the hotel and turn left there is Shakespeare run by an English woman & her husband this usually has a drag show on on a tuesday & friday night which is hilarious. Another club is Calypso, if you go out the hotel and turn left then continue straight up the street and turn left there it is, it is a huge nightclub & has had people such as David Guetta visit there.

There is plenty to do during the day also. Go out of the hotel and turn right & then right again, keep walking along and you will see the beach. It is about a 5min walk from the hotel, there is a shop at the top of the beach where you can buy big bottle of pop & water for the price of a can of pop in some places. The drinks are kept in a fridge & are nice a cold to help cool you down on the beach. There is plenty to do on the beach, there are several beach bars to eat at, you can go out on pedalos, para gliding, jet skiis & a big sofa type thing called 'Great Big Mable' all of which are great fun. People do try and sell you several things on the beach such as jewelry, cigarettes,nuts,doughnuts, & ashtrays etc but if you say no they will leave.

You can take a taxi into Yasmine Hammamet & visit all the shops, go ice skating or visit Carthage Land which is a large theme park which contains all sorts of rides, shops & restaurants. Also visit Friguia Zoo, a great day out & you get to see all the animals, Lions, Tigers, cheetahs etc & watch the sea lion show. There is also a dolphin show at the zoo & you can swim with dolphins all you need to do is book 24hrs before you want to go. At night time at the zoo is the 'African Dream' night, I have heard good things about it & hope to go this year.

There are several excursions you can go on Pirate Ship, Quad Bikes & Camel Trip. All of which are a great experience & a lot of fun for all the family.

Please do not listen to the negative reviews. This hotel is amazing & holds a lot of happy memories for me. The Hotel is back under its old management & is a great place to stay. I have recently spoke to several people who have returned & they have nothing but good things to say about the Bel Air.

I can't wait to return this August.

Booked two weeks at the Belle air hotel we both new what to expect the second we pulled up to the hotel. The rooms were dirty and unclean, there were tufts of hair on the floor and only what we can assume to be blood stains on the bed sheets, The bathroom had a leak and there was a terrible smell throughout the hotel. We both were very ill after our first meal the food was distgusting we could only put up with three days then went to see our rep and asked to go home. The people wont leave you alone always trying to sell you something or get you to go into there shops if you have booked this hotel then try to change it holiday companys need to understand that people work hard all year to go on holiday and dont want to be sent to a place like the belle air derek and gail P.S. the weather was nice though
