Hammamet Regency Hotel, Hammamet Tunisia

★   ★   ★    ★

A friendly and well arranged establishment with a rather dated appearance but offering plenty of character and personality. The tropical-like lounge is a pleasing feature as is the general friendly feel that would suit those looking to escape the organised activities and impersonal feel to some of the larger neighbours.

Exterior

A dated curving cream and white coloured nondescript block with recessed balconies and two wings stretching towards the sea. A wide entrance at the end of a short drive provides a warm welcome.

Property type: Hotel

Storeys: 4

Exterior: Building

Interior

The simple but inviting lobby is supported by a well furnished and decorated restaurant and bar, both of which have a rather intimate and upmarket feel.

Grounds

The attractive gardens accommodate a good sized pool with its swim-up bar, neat lawns and fountains. A path leads out to the beach where there are more sunloungers to support those already placed on the narrow pool surround and lawns.
