Upon arrival in the splendid lobby / reception you get the feel of something special, we were swiftly checked in and given wrist bands and invited to take lunch while our room was available. Afterwards we were shown to our room via the 1 available lift as the other was broken, it turned out over the week that it continued to break down and a guest was trapped in it one day for half an hour. We used the stairs even to 3rd floor. 4 levels. Anyway the room was large, carpet floor, separate toilet and bathroom, plenty of storage, large furnished balcony and sea view tick. Quickly got sorted and fancied a drink from the described stocked mini bar, NOTHING. Not even water. Had a walk round to get our bearings,private beach over the road bit only free water and coke, bottle of local beer about £2. In general, the food is ok and plenty choice of lamb, chicken, beef, fish in various guises, loved the tagines, however it is the same lunch and dinner every day. Not the best wine or beer. There are 4 bars, main lobby bar, serves beer, wine, whisky, rum, vodka, gin, didn't see a cocktail list, only problem, they ran out of gin on a daily basis by around 10:30 every night, constantly ran out of ice, you had to keep your smallish glass or ended up with a tiny flimsy plastic vending cup. Pool bar served beer and same local spirits and pizza, burgers and pancakes if you were lucky enough to get a seat before the Eastern European force who drank all the gin. Bar near the entertainment and second pool served beer and wine. Don't take your glasses here, we were chased by a waiter one evening who chastised us for doing so. Then the beach bar mentioned earlier. Air con in the room was fine and constantly on even after leaving the room, cleaned daily with fresh towels. Other public areas like restaurant and lobby, the air con wasn't on and you sweat constantly. Entertainment in the evening, miss hotel, karaoke twice, a singer, and a fakir ( lays on nails etc). Sunbeds always available on the beach and plenty shade if you don't mind paying for a couple of beers, watch out for jellyfish, they sting. Otherwise it's the 8am rush by the pool and people put towels on and come back hours later. Would I return, probably not. Taxi to Hammamet 15 to 20 dinar and worth the trip, go round the old medina. Near the hotel is an English managed restaurant called Rovers return, only average and top dollar price also. Go up to the new medina for some haggling for fake designer goods etc and also a good range of other restaurants including a really good burger bar, 2 x gourmet burgers with fries and 2 beers around £15. Weather very hot, too hot to walk about, overall not for us as we like to walk here and there and have a beer but you can't do that here.
