Popular Resorts in Tunisia

Hammamet and Hammamet Yasmine are the two main resorts in Tunisia and we stayed in Hammamet which is known as old Hammamet with Hammamet Yasmine being the new Hammamet.  They are quite close to each other and are often referred to as being a single resort although there is a difference between the two.  Both are on the same stretch of coast.  Read my page on the differences between the two to find out more.

Sol Azur Beach Hotel, Hammamet, Tunisia

This is the hotel we stayed in and it is rated 4-star.   It is part of a complex with two other hotels, the Bel Azur (3-star) and the Royal Azur (5-star) beach hotels.

Each hotel has its only pool, bars, restaurants and cafes but are all with in the same complex so guests can freely make use of each of the hotels facilities.

Although we were staying in the Sol Azur hotel we spent most of our pool-time in and around the pool of the Bel Azur as it was very deep (3.5 meters) making it great for diving.

Each of the three hotels share the same stretch of beach which has a beach side food and drink bar serving snacks, ice creams and cold drinks through out the day.  The beach is not fenced off in anyway so you are free to wander off in either direction if you want a change off scenery but as the beach is only accessible via the hotels you don’t get any vendors wandering amongst the holiday makers.
