Ok merci

The reps were very lovely and energetic - they offer lots of activities, if you like that. Brilliant with children. Great food if you are carnivorous. Lovely pool area surrounded by beautiful olive and palm trees. Fabulous massage at the spa. Excellent, friendly staff.

Good value for money and pleasant stay at this all inclusive at £315 pp. incl. flights for 7 nights. Not comparable to 5 stars elsewhere but has a lot of amenities for the price we paid. Rooms clean and cleaned daily. Outdoor and indoor pool with a sauna free to use for all guests. Paid for spa (seperate area but part of the hotel) massage and hamman. Really recommend as both were lovely. Massage also included time in an additional indoor heated sea water pool in the price . You can also pay for the sea pool for half an hour/day. Food was a good selection compared to other all inclusives but definitely catered more towards french/tunisians. Lots of choices for salad and dishes changed daily. Fish of the day, stuffed veg and kebab were favourites. Pizza served at lunch and dinner was often cold. The chef would warm it up for you if asked. Heat lamps not the best so would recommend an early seating to ensure your food is hot. Continental breakfast is good with omlettes and crepes but don't expect a full English. Dont go here if all you want to eat are burgers and chips. A conference was held for a couple of days and we noticed the lunch and dinner quality and choice increased significantly. For example prawn cocktails and shrimp were served during this time. Oranges and dates were the only fruit served except for the occasional strawberry on the chocolate puddings. Noticed no high chairs for children. They have some entertainment budget with a singer and a band playing at the weekend but I think you'd be better off getting a taxi into town as downstairs gets quite busy with families and it becomes hard to find a seat. Entertainers worked hard and constantly checked in to pass on info about the events. The wine was nice. The cocktails used cheap alcohol but this is typical with all inclusives. Wine, beer and branded soft drinks served with dinner. Hot drinks tasted weird from the machines, mint tea was lovely though. Coke zero available. Bar staff very friendly and overall service was amazing. Our stay included a complimentary visit at the a la carte restaurant but the hotel failed to tell us this was only open 2 days a week and so we were unable to go. Location is on the edge of all the resorts but still only 20 min walk from shops and a museum. What would make my review 5 stars: more entertainment in the day such as dance lessons, yoga etc.; better quality cocktails (more coconut in the piña coladas); better hot drinks; stronger heat lamps to keep food hot;more communication about the a la carte restaurant.

We had a wonderful holiday here. The staff are amazing and can not do enough to help. There were three people in particular who helped make our week so lovely. We had a wonderful waiter in the dining room who made sure our table was set with our drinks of choice and beautiful flowers and decorations. He was so attentive and kind and worked so hard. Special mention also needs to go to Adel managed the pool area and kept everyone happy. The wonderful lady who cleaned our room, leaving petals and flowers on the bed. The food was lovely and varied. At times some dishes were a bit cold and at one breakfast our hard boiled eggs were anything good but! However, there was so much choice that it didn't really matter. If it is important to you - the hotel is dated and a bit tired. In our room the shower head fell off when you turned the water off and the patio door did not always lock securely. The bedding was a bit old fashioned but was clean! The bed was very hard. However - as a family this did not bother us at all. The good outweighed the not so good by a long way. If you like modern and sleek, this is not the hotel for you. But if are happy to go with the flow, I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

An all round lovely stay at Alhambra Thalasso. The staff were all amazingly friendly, kind and welcoming. The hotel itself, whilst not brand new, was beautiful and well kept. The rooms were spacious and cleaned every day, fresh linen and towels were appreciated. The buffet restaurant catered for a number of tastes, but could have a little more variety. The waiters were excellent! The drinks served on all inclusive were tasty and plentiful, and the barmen never skimped on alcohol measures. The weather was perfect and is a huge selling point to go to visit Tunisia. The only thing I would mention is that the hotel is further away from the centre of Hammamet than you may think, so keep that in mind if you’re aiming to visit the town. Thank you for a lovely holiday, from Will and Jess.
