What a great find this apartment was! We are a family with children age 11 & 8. The apartment was super & served us very well. It was very clean, a good size and well kept. We used the Wifi everyday which was great. We didn't use the TV. We used the roof terrace often as it provided sunshine, shade, privacy and a magnificent view to the sea. The area was quiet but it was easy to pick up taxis into town. A new Carrefour supermarket opened c15 mins walk away. We easily found all the provisions we needed there (note - in case interested - no alcohol).
We used the pool pass at the Nahrawess Hotel everyday. The kids loved it there, but the pool with the slides wasn't open. It was extremely quiet in the hotel & we had the pool to ourselves most of the time! Fab - it was like having the biggest private pool attached to our apartment! The beach was popular & well kept.
We visited Aqualand in the tourist area. Again, the kids loved it as there were water slides etc. Not too busy either.
Hammamet was a good start for our first visit to Tunisia. It is not too big, but it is a bustling town. We ate out in the Medina area. We would especially recommend the Resto la Plage, which is, as you would imagine, right on the beach. It was popular with young Tunsians and the food there was very good. They have a small childrens menu too, but with large portions!
We hired a driver for a day to visit El Jem & Monistir. We would recommend both, the children particulalry liked El Jem. It was spectacular. May must be pre-season as again, neither place was busy with tourists which was great for us!
Nabeul market on Fridays is a must to experience Tunisian life. There is a tourist section and another with more household goods.
All the Tunisian people we met were most welcoming & friendly. We felt extremely safe & sad to hear of others who never left their hotel!
Communication with Francis was superb; he is very helpful. Magda & Yusef were also lovely people & good to know they were there if you needed them. Excellent customer service.
All in all, we had a wonderful trip. We highly recommend the apartment & if we returned we would definitely book it again.
If you want to holiday with other English people and effectively have England in the sun, this is not for you. If you want to experience a real piece of Hammamet, meet interesting local people and submerge yourslef a little bit in Tunisia, stay here!
Thank you Francis
