Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa Yasmine Hammamet

I stayed for a short solo holiday where I was willing to pay a little bit more and not worry about food and cleanliness. At about £125 per night for half board, Hasdrubal was perfect. Staying at the end of September, the weather was just under 30° every day. The place was quiet, so none of the usual nonsense trying to get a sun lounger by the pool or on the beach - loads to be had. The beach was well kept fine sand with the depth in the water clear and staying relatively shallow for a good way out. On the half board I had the option of the buffet or two a la carte menus. Plenty of local and international options. Breakfast was the standard range of buffet options, plus omelette made to order. I went for the cheapest room option with a junior suite and it was a good size with large walk in shower and full bath. The only gripe I had was the mattress was very firm. After my first night I asked at reception if something could be done. I was assured to they would do something, but that might I couldn't detect any difference. For only four nights it wasn't worth making a fuss. I would love to come back for an longer stay, but only if a soft mattress was guaranteed in advance. Half board only appeared to be available booking direct with the hotel's website, so that's the route for the best price and value for money.

At the beginning of my arrival, start with no valet at the property plus we have to unload our luggage from the trunk but bellman came after to help us. the hotel is pricey compared to what you got like poor condition of the room, corridors and lobby. We went to our room, we found cracks on top of our bed and uncomfortable hard mattress and pillows.. mold on the joint of bathroom marble and the worst one mold inside the mini bar which is dangerous for health care.. at the breakfast table we found completely rusted salt canthat we can't use... Worst hotel that I've ever been in my entire life. We will never go back in a million years...

Big clean suite with an extra bed, in addition to the super king bed, with a small dining area, a living area and a spacious balcony facing the ocean, with a big clothes rack. The only thing about the suite was that the bed was on a raised marble platform. Although we already put two chairs near the step in case we woke up in the dark and didn’t remember, I still fell when we woke up in the dark morning even seeing the chair, thinking it was on ground level. Dining experiences that need improvements: Restaurant on the beach: food was nice, service was good, until 4pm when they started to get ready to close at 5pm (an hour in advance)….! Breakfast buffet was standard, with an egg station outdoors…the smart birds learned to fly inside to share the bakery on the buffet tray and waiters seemed to ignore them (must be frequent visitors) A bit unhygienic for some who don’t want to share food with birds. Dinner in one of the dining rooms, with an extra long but wide table (difficult to chat with guests on opposite side….although we didn’t need that strange extra long & wide set up). Worst of all, we ordered white wine but after pouring it for a few other guests in our group and the first bottle was finished, the stubborn waiter refused to open a second bottle and just said bluntly….no more in a rude way….even after our organiser asked him to open a new one, and we asked three times and after our appetisers (prawns over cooked) were finished, the request was not met yet…our white wine still didn’t come ….until we talked to the manager! That was a very blunt and impolite service in addition to the overcooked food (prawns and sea-beam were also over cooked and tasteless). This bad dining experience almost ruined our sweet memories of the trip.. luckily the Fruit plate as dessert was bravo!! The beach was very impressive…. swimming with lots of fishes, with responsible life guard always watching. He also rushed to give us towels coming back from the ocean! Lots of lounge chairs and booths too. Swimming pool with various jacuzzis were also refreshing. So overall this hotel was me of the ones we liked (setting) during our Tunisia trip

The moment we stepped into the hotel, we felt its CHARM. It wasn’t artificial at all — it had a soul, filled with LOVE, WARMTH, and genuine HOSPITALITY. The welcome was absolutely MAGNIFICENT. Everyone was so understanding, attentive, and provided an EXCELLENT level of customer service that truly goes ABOVE AND BEYOND expectations. I could feel this from the very beginning, even during the booking process. MAHE handled everything, and she is simply TOP! ADORABLE, PROFESSIONAL, and AMAZING. And honestly, the entire staff deserves recognition. They greet you with a smile and warm greetings every time they see you. This is, quite simply, a GENEROUS hotel. We only came for a One-Day Thalasso experience, yet it felt as if we had spent several unforgettable days there. MAGNIFICENT. MAGNIFICENT. MAGNIFICENT. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Thank you for everything! Don’t think twice — GO BLINDLY. They will guide you straight to their UTOPIA!

We arrived for one night and stayed for four. This hotel is a gem. Its public spaces are beautiful. The rooms are large, comfortable, and very clean. All rooms have a generous terrace. The grounds and beach are gorgeous. Breakfast is great. Best of all, the staff are uniformly kind and helpful. I hope to return.
