The location of the hotel is very good. On the 1st coastline. The hotel is located slightly away from the busiest part of Yasmin Hammamet, but at the same time close to the port, the elegant promenade, the Cartage Land entertainment area, and the main shops. There are many other hotels nearby, it's nice to just walk, take a walk, look. The hotel itself is also very beautiful, lots of flowers, flower beds, a large swimming pool. As for the beach and the sea itself: well, this was not particularly impressive. I want to say right away - a very wide beach line. It is a long walk from the edge of the wooden deck along the sand to the beach canopies and sun beds. It was very annoying for many people. But for me, this is a matter of perception: well, let it take a long time to walk on the sand, consider it as an additional exercise with a load on the calf muscles and ankles. There's nothing to get fat on. But what is really annoying is the abundance of uncollected camel poop in the sand and in the sea. There are also black algae floating in the sea. On the other hand, there are no jellyfish in such a polluted sea, even at the peak of the breeding season. I know because I often come to Tunisia at about the same time of the year (end of June-July), but to different hotels. Where the sea is clear as a tear next to the hotel, there are so many jellyfish that you cannot enter the sea. There are 10 pieces per square meter. So choose which is better: a dirty sea with algae, or a clean sea with jellyfish. Thanks to the beautiful territory of the hotel, there are practically no rooms with an ugly view from the window. This is very important to me. I always pay extra when buying a tour package for a sea view. But this is one of the rare hotels where even the view of the entrance (where the tour buses unfold) and the side views of the garden are also very beautiful. As for food, I have never gone hungry. I love seafood, and it's quite decent here. And freshly caught fish, and shrimp, octopuses, mussels. Soups. Vegetables, fruits, sweets, cheeses. You can put together any side dish for a hot meal, even a very fancy one. I've never understood the whiners who are always whining about nonsense: they stood in line for ice cream for a long time, then the burger was wrong, then there weren't enough donuts. On alcohol: so everything is as usual. Local bottled and bottled wines, beer. They also pour alcohol in bars. The staff is polite. There are occasional shoals, but it happens in any hotel. You just need to not get hysterical, but try to calmly solve problems. My room was cleaned every day. Clear. Bed linen is changed once a week. Towels on request, i.e. as they are thrown on the floor. I did not have to change towels every day, for 11 days of rest, they were changed 2 times at my request. The norm. The rooms are a little dilapidated, they are asking for repairs. But in fairness, it must be said that this now seems to be a global trend. Starting in 2021, I see exactly the same "tired" numbers everywhere: in the Emirates, Turkey, Egypt. I observe it personally, not from pictures on the web. This is the reality of life. You just have to accept it. Well, or pay 4 times more expensive, then you will live in hotels with a fresh, chic renovation. As for the SPA. Also, everything is as usual. Over the past few years, I've gotten into the habit of doing this: flying on a night flight from St. Petersburg to Tunisia. At the hotel already at about 6-8 in the morning. Check-in after 14-00 hours. In order not to suffer, lying on a sofa in the lobby of the hotel with a sore head after the flight, I change into a swimsuit and beach clothes, and go to sleep on a soft couch on the beach in the relative coolness of the morning in the shade under a canopy. Then breakfast. And then - HOORAY!!! SPA salon. I order a full procedure: washing in the hammam, peeling, massage for 60 or 90 minutes, mud wrap. Then relax with tea by the indoor pool. And at about 14 o'clock, all refreshed, mashed up, rested, I go to the reception desk to get the room keys. I watch compatriots in the lobby waiting to be settled, curled up on sofas, swearing, with a headache, who arrived on the same flight with me, and I think: Why are they so angry? In general, I think this is a very nice hotel in a very good location: the optimal price-quality ratio.

Nice 4-star hotel.
The hotel is not big, but well maintained. There is a seaport with beautiful yachts.
We had a rest in the first days of June and not all the bars were open yet. The season was just beginning. The food, the service is good.
Delicious dates, served right on the sticks. (how they grow on palm trees)

A good hotel, a great location, the food is quite varied. The arrangement of tables with dishes is not very successful, as this creates a queue for dishes, but in general the issue is solvable. The sand and the sea are nearby, you don't need sun beds for the pool (unless of course you want to sunbathe), you left the room, went down the elevator and you're by the pool. The water both in the sea and in the pool heats up by 13-14 hours (I had lunch and I can swim). Of course, the service is not good, but overall it is good. There is little entertainment for children under 3-4, but the main thing here is the sea :)
