Overall impression: I conditionally recommend this hotel. This is my third vacation in Tunisia, the first in North Hammamet, and unfortunately, not as good as previous two ones.

A detailed review follows.

Hotel overview and location: The hotel is located in North Hammamet, between Hammamet center (6km) and nearby Nabeul city (7km) in a touristic area. Hotel has its own beach, two pools and couple of bars (pool bar, beach bar etc.). Building has 3 floors in total, built like a horseshoe, and looks like Tunisian resorts with the similar category (4 star). The beach is made of exceptionally fine sand, it has its own umbrellas and sunbeds that are free of charge. The sea was clean most of the time of our stay. During visit in September 2022, only in two out of 14 days he had to deal with algae and sea plants, but luckily, there were no jellyfish which may be common in this part of the year. In the vicinity of the hotel there are several small markets where you can buy souvenirs, drinking water and basic groceries. There are also a couple of cafes in the area, but nearby pharmacy is 2 km away, located on the main road, so take this into account if you will need any medications. Pedestrian area which connects all the resorts is beautiful with fig trees and palms, but sadly, a bit neglected due to the fact that only couple out of dozen resorts in the area are working. On the other side, you can freely jog there, even on the street, because traffic is almost non-existent (only taxies, rare buses and couple of cars may be seen during the day). From 9 PM to midnight, occasionally, loud music comes from the neighboring hotel, which is the same every night - ranging from unknown, repeated local hits songs, to 80’s vibes.

Room / accomodation: The room we were accommodated was good and large enough for the two persons. The beds were okay, pillows, however, could be much better. The room was clean. There was a big mirror with small table in the room, two night-tables and one small round table with the small armchair in the corner. Curtains were solid and well preserved. The air conditioner works but does not cool enough, which can be a problem if the outside temperature is high. The room also has a 32" LCD TV we didn’t use and no mini-bar. He asked intentionally "garden view" accommodation, facing hotel entrance and nearby hill in the distance, to avoid bright sunlight during the day and to preserve privacy from guests on the pool / sea view. All rooms have terrace / balconies with small plastic table and two plastic garden chairs. Hygiene was good, rooms were cleaned on a daily basis with towels changed also on a daily basis.

Food And now the bad part – I know that tastes are different, but food in the hotel destroyed our pleasant experience with the other segments. It was not about variety, its all about hygiene and the fact that meet was in most cases insufficiently heat treated! First time for a (maybe) 10 years, we had a stomach issues! The very last day, a clerk who was engaged on the entrance of the restaurant, was seen on the grill, turning meat parts with his own hands, unprotected with the gloves at least … and finally, not fully prepared, dispose them in the place from where guests took them. I would give a negative rating for cleanliness in the restaurant if I could!

Finally, staff is generally nice, Tunisia is nice, sea is beautiful, beside food we really don’t have any issues with hotel in general. Hopefully, this will be resolved so the next groups will enjoy fully with proper meals.

Pros: beach, rooms Cons: food
