Garden Beach Hotel, Monastir

The first establishment on our list is Garden Beach, with this satisfying everything you could possibly wish for in a Tunisian resort.

Its staff are some of the most helpful around, but its unique selling point definitely revolves around its restaurant which caters for all dishes, but in the same high quality. The hotel boasts a large swimming pool, while those who want a little more during the day can wander off to the beach which is a stone’s throw away.

 

Skanes Family Resort, Monastir

As the name suggest, this next hotel targets families who are visiting Monastir. From the moment you walk through the entrance you are greeted by staff who are happy to wait on you hand and foot, while you will also immediately notice the cleanliness of the hotel which is absolutely second to none.

Again, it resides adjacent to the beach which makes it perfect for families, although for those who don’t want to venture the few steps away Skanes Family Resort does have its own pool. It’s worth mentioning that while a lot of the marketing revolves around Skanes being a family establishment, don’t let this put you off if you don’t fall into this category. There are plenty of couples wandering around and in general, it’s just a friendly place.

 

One Resort Monastir

With a name like “One Resort”, it’s really no surprise to see this hotel don our list. A lot of people reserve this establishment because of its close proximity to the airport, but in reality there are plenty more benefits on offer. Even though half of the hotel is classed as “old” having not yet been renovated, the general consensus is still that the rooms are spacious and impeccably clean.

Elsewhere, the pools will compete with any Tunisian establishment, with the kids having access to several waterslides that are open through most of the day. There has also been plenty of praise for the food; with the restaurant serving numerous dishes and the bar areas providing and endless supply of hot snacks.

 

SuneoClub Tropicana, Monastir

The fact that SuneoClub Tropicana has been recently renovated makes it one of the most luxurious establishments in the region. The rooms are noticeably larger than competing hotels, while a special mention must again be given to the eating facilities which provide visitors with a magnitude of different dishes.

Just like most of the hotels on our list, this one is also situated right next to the beach. Additionally, for those who like to be kept entertained, the daytime and evening activities are second to none at SuneoClub Tropicana.

 

SENTIDO Rosa Beach, Monastir

As the name of this next addition on our list highlights, the SENTIDO Rosa is in fact located next to the beach. Following on from this, something that a lot of past guests have praised is the accessibility of the water sports – which are some of the cheapest in Europe with jet ski experiences costing as little as £20.

The hotel itself boasts a large salt water pool, while all of the animation team dotting around the facility are sure to keep you entertained throughout. Some of the shows, with the Michael Jackson tribute being one of the most popular, are second to none and will completely make some people’s holiday.

 

Royal Thalassa, Monastir

This is another hotel which is easily accessed from Monastir airport although again, this isn’t the only reason why you would choose the Royal Thalassa. Most guests are amazed at the size, and amenities included, in each of the rooms.

The beds appear to be significantly larger than rival resorts, while you’ll be presented with a flat screen TV, fridge and a picturesque view of the beach on the door step. In terms of the cuisine, the Royal Thalassa serves a much more varied menu in comparison to fellow all-inclusive resorts and this was particularly impressive for a lot of guests.

 

Sahara Beach, Monastir

Again, the name gives everything away about the Sahara Beach. The beach is literally on the doorstep and this makes not only for plenty of daytime activities, but also some purely stunning views.

This is one establishment where everything appears to be on-site; from beach, to pool, to water sports. As such, it’s perfect for those visitors who just want to relax on their escape, and not spend their holiday travelling from location to location as they try and fill their days.

 

Amir Palace, Monastir

Some hotels are given luxurious tags out of nowhere, but the term “Palace” really does describe this next addition on our list to a tee. Amir Palace doesn’t look like any other hotel in Monastir, its architecture is exactly like that of a palace and has some stunning outdoor features.

It would be fair to say that this hotel isn’t particularly suited to those who want to experience a bustling party scene, but more those who are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay. With that being said, there is a vibrant animation team available for both the daytime and evening if you do want something to fill your time.

 

Hotel Regency, Monastir

This is a hotel that attracts a whole array of people; from young to old. The La Pacha disco is renowned, but the animation team are also keen to provide for more relaxed events and are happy to put together schedules for those visitors seeking this.

The service at Hotel Regency is particular impressive and whether you are by the pool, stood by reception or sampling one of the tasty dishes at the restaurants, there are umpteen staff happy to wait on you in every possible way.

 

Ramada Liberty Resort Hotel, Monastir

The final resort on our list comes in the form of Ramada Liberty Resort Hotel. It’s another establishment that boasts plenty of benefits; from the clean and spacious rooms right the way down to the impressive outdoor pool.

Again, the entertainment team appear to pull out all of the stops during both the daytime and evening, with some of the dancing shows being worth a mention for those looking for something to fill their evenings.

Based just off the coast of Tunisia, it would be fair to say that Djerba Island has caused quite a stir amongst tourists over the last few years.

It’s regarded as a destination which visitors find so seductive, that it’s almost impossible to leave. Djerba is nowadays the top destination for luxury tunisia holidays.

Bearing the above in mind, it won’t be surprising to see that there are numerous luxury hotels to suit the picturesque surroundings.

Here, we take a look at the top five which you should be looking to stay in if you are looking to take the “boutique experience” on your travels.

Hasdrubal Prestige Djerba

The first establishment on our list is situated right beside the beach, meaning that sea views are commonplace. Naturally, this isn’t the only pulling point of the Hasdrubal Prestige Thalassa & Spa and anyone staying here will be subject to exquisite cuisine, which is probably some of the best around, whilst also benefiting from some first class service from the attentive staff.

A special mention should also be given to all of the swimming pools that are available at this resort, with guests having access to a salt water pool, fresh water pool, Jacuzzi and sulphur pool.

Unsurprisingly, this means that Hasdrubal Prestige Thalassa & Spa is a firm favourite with children.

 

Radisson Blu Ulysse Resort & Thalasso Djerba

Located beside the beach and a convenient ten minute drive from the airport, this is another hotel which offers visitors an array of excellent facilities. The pool in particular usually attracts plenty of attention, with its surroundings being completely exotic and making for an utterly relaxing stay.

Additionally, and this is in contrast to some other establishments in the region, Radisson Blu Ulysse Resort contains an indoor swimming pool which is ideal if you are visiting in the off-season.

Naturally, for a reputable establishment, the service at the hotel is beyond what you would expect and this again adds to the relaxing, and luxurious, experience.

The food is something else that is particularly impressive and if you can make it to the hotel’s Neptune restaurant, make it your priority to sample the grilled fish which has become renowned amongst past visitors.

The fact that dishes such as sushi are regularly served should hopefully highlight the variety that can be obtained at the Raddison Blu Ulysse Resort as well.

 

Hotel Riu Palace Royal Garden

There are some hotels which just ooze sophistication when you first arrive, and the Hotel Riu Palace Royal Garden certainly falls into this category. It’s hardly traditional architecture, but it certainly captures your eye and the domed roofs and surrounding pools are enough to whet any holidaymaker’s appetite almost instantaneously.

It’s clear that aesthetics are something that the management of the Hotel Riu Palace Royal Garden pride themselves on, with the gardens being particularly pleasant and contributing to the calming and relaxed atmosphere.

Like most of the hotels that have been covered through this article, the food is also impressive and different dishes are always been served up. Guests certainly won’t become bored with the menus, while it’s possible to visit both a Tunisian and Italian restaurant depending on your preference for the evening.

There is also a beach located right beside the hotel, meaning that it is another example of an establishment where you’ll rarely have to venture away from during your stay. In fact, if you were to question most guests who are staying there, you’ll probably find that a large quantity are repeat visitors – which simply emphasises its reputation.

 

Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa

This might share a similar name to the previous entry, but it is in fact located in a different area of Djerba. This establishment certainly lives up to its luxurious tag in every way possible and benefits from everything from picturesque sea views, right the way to its own private strip on the beach.

In regards to the latter, this section of beach is as good, if not better, than the public sands – with the hotel clearly maintaining the area so that its guests can benefit from the added privacy. This is a hotel which is renowned for its entertainment packages and the staff are very accommodating for guests of all ages.

Children have a wealth of activities during the day, while during the evening there are slightly more mature events for the adults to engage in.

With the name of the hotel featuring “spa”, this should receive a mention as well. It once again adds to the overall luxury, with many past guests impressed at the range and quality of treatments that were provided.

Such examples include your basic massage, facials and of course the standard beauty care.

 

Hotel Telemaque Beach & Spa

When we talk about hotels being perched on the beach and enjoying views, none will ever compare to the ones that are available via the Hotel Telemaque Beach & Spa. Additionally, if you do take the plunge and venture to the sea which is just a stone’s throw away, you’ll find that the sea water is some of the warmest around.

Even an evening stroll can prompt warm water to rush around your feet, which makes the surroundings completely romantic. It would be fair to say that the staff at the Hotel Telemaque Beach & Spa are beyond attentive, they make the mood at this establishment one of the most enjoyable around.

There’s always singing and dancing and the general feeling is that each and every one of them is trying to get the visitors into the relaxed spirit. As you may have gathered from such fun-loving staff, the entertainment on offer is also impressive.

There’s a regular disco, while there are shows that appear to be donning the schedule on most nights. In short, this is a hotel which combines luxury and fun to create the ideal package.

Being the capital of Tunisia, it’s no surprise that the tourism industry of Tunis is absolutely buzzing. The fact that it also happens to be the largest city in the country obviously helps matters as well, with both of these factors resulting in a high demand for hotel accommodation from visitors.

Hotel Belvedere Fourati

It might not hold the flashy appeal that some of the other establishments possess further down our list, but Hotel Belvedere Fourati is seen as one of the best hotels in the area simply because of its atmosphere. It’s not owned by a large hotel chain; it’s instead family-run and this is evident through every aspect.

Staff will remember your name and requests on instant and it’s for reasons like this why it attracts so many repeat guests on a year-on-year basis. Of course, there are other features as well as the staff, with the rooms being of very good quality, the location being excellent for local amenities and the restaurant serving fine food for a host of cuisines.

 

Grand Hotel de France

This hotel is actually classed as one of the budget options in the city – but don’t let that dissuade you from opting for it. While the term “budget” is hardly something that regularly basks accommodation in glory, in the case of the Grand Hotel de France it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever.

It’s situated perfectly near Avenue Bourguiba, whilst also being within walking distance of all of the local travel provisions. All of the rooms are spacious and clean, as you would expect, while the staff are always on hand to help with any queries you may have.

 

Le Corail Suites Hotel

In comparison to the previous two options, it could be said that Le Corail Suites Hotel is a lot more of a modern offering. Everything from the lobby room to the guest’s rooms is draped in contemporary decorations and this naturally provides visitors with a great outlook from as soon as they walk through the doors.

Once again, the front desk staff deserve a special mention at this establishment, while the location will suit anyone who is looking for quiet accommodation within a short drive of the airport.

 

Hotel Tiba

Hotel Tiba is seen as one of the more traditional hotels and is another budget offering in Tunis. It’s located conveniently from the city centre, which makes it ideal for any tourists who want to experience the real hustle and bustle of the region, while most rooms will be provided with a balcony to look over the surrounding areas.

 

Ibis Tunis

The Ibis brand has made significant headway all over the world, with its budget yet contemporary offerings being suitable to any traveller. The one in Tunis is no different and provides guests with everything they could wish for a visit of this type.

It’s situated just fifteen minutes away from the Medina and the fact that it’s practically a brand new building makes it already seem like very good value for money. This is emphasised when you also take into account the free Wi-Fi and parking that guests are provided.

 

Tunisia Palace

As you may expect from something with a name like ‘Tunisia Palace’, this is a hotel which prides itself on a traditional service. Some of the deco is completely outlandish, and don’t be surprised to see splutters of gold and other wild decorations all over the lobby areas.

However, this just adds to the Palace’s charm and with the hotel also being located within walking distance to the Medina, it will prove to be an ideal establishment for a lot of guests. As well as the luxurious architecture, Tunisia Palace is also seen as a hotel which provides some of the best food in the area, with its menu being hugely varied and applicable to most tastes.

 

Carlton Hotel Tunis

This is another example of ‘location, location, location’, with the Carlton Hotel Tunis being situated within walking distance to all of the main attractions such as the famous Medina.

The establishment has undergone something of a facelift over the last few years and that is obvious from the quality of the finishing’s, with the rooms being some of the best in Tunis. Some of the rooms also arrive with a terrace, while the owner is actually American educated which means that he is completely approachable to tourists!

 

Novotel Mohamed V

This is another one of the big hotel chains to have donned Tunis, although Novotel is another brand who seem to have got their establishment spot on. As you would expect with this chain, the rooms are of a high and modern standard and will be a perfect fit for most visitors.

Similarly, the breakfast is worth a mention and will be perfectly adequate for most visitors, while the staff are always on hand to deal with any queries.

 

Les Berges du Lac

Les Berges du Lac is regarded as one of the more premium offerings in Tunis and the fact that a lot of the rooms overlook a picturesque lake is sufficient for most people to return to the hotel. It also happens to be situated close to a lot of restaurants, although those who want to stay “in-house” will still benefit from a food service that is perfectly acceptable.

Les Berges du Lac is one of the hotels in Tunis which includes its own spa as well, and this is probably the reason why it has been handed its 5* rating.

 

Hotel le Consul

Boasting spacious rooms and decent eating facilities, Hotel le Consul seemingly targets the business community more than the typical tourist. Nevertheless, it still contains its own spa and gym facilities which will appeal to most visitors, while the staff are particularly friendly and will do what they can to enhance your stay.
