I am going to Hammamet in August this year for the first time. I was talking to someone this morning and she was telling me that the place is very dirty with flies all over the place including in the food, and it's very pricey. I was really looking forward to going to Tunisia but now am not too sure. The hotel we will be staying in is Les Citronniers, please can anyone tell me what both the hotel and Hammemet is really lke.
Thanks,
im off there in july but ive been doing alot of research and the place looks and sounds great i suggest you find pics on it and peoples reviews but i dont think you have anything to worry about! Im going to hammamet yasmine but ive done research on hammamet and hammamet yasmine.
I've been to Hammamet in August for the last couple of years (as well as numerous other times! ). I have to say that I don't remember flies being too much of a bother at that time of year - it's usually later, around September that they get a bit pesky! Hammamet town does have a tendency to have lots of corners full of rubbish, sadly probably more down to the huge number of tourists than anything else
Les Citronniers is basic but relaxed and friendly. The main downside is that (unless it's changed) there's no aircon in the rooms. A good point is that the bar prices are good and the outside part of the bar is quite a nice place to sit for a drink.
I haven't actually stayed there so can't comment on the food and don't know anything about the entertainment there. If the evening ents programme isn't too great, the Hotel Fourati down the road is quite good. I went there several times last summer when I was staying at Le Hammamet (also in the same road).
Personally I love Hammamet and the majority of other tourists I've spoken to out there agree. Several, like me are repeat visitors, going back time after time. I've met very few who really hate the place - in fact off the top of my head I can only think of one!
Hope this reassures you a bit - I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time!

Hi, we are also going to tunisia in july (9th), and are staying in LES CITRIONNIERS!
hi stu were going 9th july its our first time and were staying same hotel were you flying from were going from manchester 8pm flight write back devonbabez there will b hubby me and two teenage girls hope to see you
dont worry, i felt nervous before going to hammamet too. it was fantastic and surprisingly clean. watch out however for the salad - i ended up very ill in hospital. the hospital was immaculately clean (far superior to english hospitals), all the nurses and doctors spoke english and tourists get private rooms with t.v's. i was insured but calling out the doctor and staying in hospital was cheap anyway. the doctors were fantastic and explained everything clearly, gave me injections, drips and medication. if you get bad stomach pains, dont just take pharmacy tablets and suffer - if you need to do call the doctor - they are fantastic!!!
i was so impressed with tunisia that despite being hospitalised (my own fault - too afraid to call doctor as i though they would be incompitant - so i let it get out of hand ), that i visited again 6 months later!!!
hi all .. ..first time back to tunisia for twenty years,. going 3 star half board allocated on arrival with my travel landing in monastir on the 28/5/06.for two weeks ,.can anyone tell me what my travel are like for this type of holiday,.i.e hotels i can expect,please,.....regards....john-doe
Hi, 4 of our holidays to Tunisia have beeen allocated on arrival and all 4 were in P.E.K. 3 were in the Royal Kenz, we were sooooo lucky and the other one was at the Miramar Golf, not so good, but alright. If you think most of the hotels in Tunisia are 4**** I'm sure you'll have a great time .
Sorry, forget to mention we too travelled with My Travel, 3 times very good. We were quoted 3*** of of the teletext, but like I said ended up in the Royal Kenz which is 4****.
hi ..deb2... ..thats fantastic information,.thank you very much ... ....regards and thanks again...john-doe
