I stayed on my own at The Tej Marhaba in Sousse. It was fine. Everyone was very friendly, I was on halfboard though. The hotel is in a good location, and it is close to shops, cafes and restaurants. About a fifteen minute walk from the hotel to the medina.

Thank you, I will look into that hotel.

Hi Paula, Thomas Cook are offering the Tej Marhaba on A/I and I'm sure other companies also have it, including the consolidators such as Alpha Rooms. A friend of mine stays there regularly and I've often visited her, sitting by the pool, in the lounge or on her balcony drinking coffee. The pool area is lovely, the staff are friendly and I'm told the food is OK. The only downside is that it isn't on the beach but that is a short walk away. Another option may be the Riadh Palms, just round the corner, which is A/I and right on the beach. The Marhaba complex also has some A/I hotels but I can't remember which ones.

The map will show you where all the hotels are: http://img41.exs.cx/img41/3136/soussekaartgroot6bs.jpg

Thank you - I may decide to go back to Abou Sofiane with my son yet, if not then I will look into the Tej Marhaba.
