Beautiful Hotel/apartments. Friendly...

Beautiful Hotel/apartments. Friendly staff (even friendlier with a few of your dinar in their pocket). If you haven't got a brass neck and thick skin don't venture out of the medina. Remember, this is pretty much a third world country.
Don't go there expecting to find a Mcdonalds as you won't find one here. The food in the hotel restaurant is first class, go full board, you won't be sorry. The food in the restaurants elsewhere in the medina is a bit hit and miss. Basil seems to be a very popular spice, and everything must have it added. But I say again, the food in "Tunisian restaurant" (the hotel's own restaurant) will save your life and you'll be glad you got full-board.
The pool is spotless. The rooms are spotless. Don't tip too much. 1 dinar to carry your bag. 200millimes when the waiter brings your drink. Get a taxi to the marina -2dinar + 400millimes tip. Your room cleaner - 1 and half dinar on pillow every day. (you'll thank me for that one).
I'd recommend going during Ramadan. You'll find it hard to get any good cafes open outside the Medina, but it's a lot easier to run the gauntlet of the shopping arcade ("come into my shop, make me happy, cheaper than Asda") without a drunken Tunisian manhandling you1
All in all a great hotel and surroundings. If I went again, I’m sure I’d enjoy it more. One last tip -when your rep tells you to only book tours with them, heed the warning, unless you have bottomless pockets and a few Kleenex. Thanks for reading, and I hope my advice helps.

Myself and my wife travelled to...
4 / 10
Oct 2007, Mr R O'Neill

Myself and my wife travelled to Yasmine Hammamet and were immediately blown away by the resort. It really was amazing and the hotel was again amazing.
They were really clean and could not be faulted in any way in regards to location, beach, and activities. They cater for all ages and there is something for everyone. Price wise everything was very cheap, even alcohol.
A good bottle of Red wine would only set you back about £8-£10. And the beer was about £1 a bottle.
That said though there was nothing else in Tunisia that would make either of us even consider going back.
Firstly the people, or should I say men in Tunisia, had to be the most annoying people I have ever come across. You could not even go outside the hotel without being harassed by everyone. From being asked would you like a taxi every 5 seconds to come into my shop, just take a look.
To buy a flower, or fruit or cigarettes or anything else that they were selling. When we politely said no we were then subjected to abuse, and at times it did get quite intimidating.
My wife went on her own to one restaurant and within 10 mins she had been surrounded by Tunisian men and had to leave before she had been served. The staff in any restaurant, shop or even our hotel were by far the rudest people we have ever met and most of the time you were not greeted with even hello.
We felt quite privileged whenever we got a grunt. But even this we could have handled and put it down to the locals being locals but unfortunately the food was even worse than this. Having been home for almost a week at this stage both myself and my wife are still trying to shake off the after effects of food poisoning. I lost almost half a stone in weight in one week in Tunisia. We eventually spent our meal time times eating crisps, chocolate and dry bread. The food was mock Italian, French, or Spanish.
Having visited all three they were nothing like I had ever tasted before. We had tried everything, as most restaurants like the shops sold virtually all the same thing, and each and every dish was like the rest, inedible. Also we had to constantly check the bill as they were often added to and in some cases doubled in price by a member of staff. They were not expensive and if the food had been good we would have gladly paid it.
But to get ripped off by someone who just threw a menu at us and then served us tripe was just not on.
It is a pity because the resort itself was beautiful and had all the ingredients to be somewhere we could have went to a number of times as the weather was fantastic too.
But as I said I will never be back in Tunisia again.

The best holiday I have ever had,...

The best holiday I have ever had, stayed in port El Kantaoui before and Hammamet was way better. The Medina was excellent. Had all we needed and wanted.
We went on a trip to the Sahara with Panorama and everyone on the bus kept asking what's the Medina like? they were so jealous. Most of their hotels were nothing like the Medina.
There are hotel staff everywhere all the time which gives a sense of security, lifeguards are hot and always on duty! Pools are fab... always taxis around, nothing to fault except the hassle given by the market people 'come and have a look' the only way to get rid of them is; when they ask are you Irish, English or Scottish??? Turn around and say 'I'm Venezualan or Japanese'..they will leave you be then!
Everyone is great crack over there..AND ITS SOOOOO CHEAP, go to La Boulabbasse restaurant across the way from Bravo's supermarket...the steaks are immaculate and cost around 7 euro each. Come on like! Have a great hol...I did!
