Just back from two weeks staying at the Zodiac Hotel with my wife and our two daughters (ages 7 and 11), and it was a great time had by all. Booked through Onthebeach, and got a good deal for two weeks flying from Glasgow direct to Enfidha–Hammamet International Airport. The airport was very quick to get through, and the bus transfer from there to Hammamet took probably 45 minutes, with our hotel the second stop. First impressions were ok, and we were checked in to our room in no time, with just a small customs form to fill in, and a £10 tourist tax to pay. Our room was not quote ready so we went to the bar and sat there for 20 minutes before the desk clerk came to tell us it was now ready. Room was a bit dated, but main thing was it was clean, and the maids cleaned it spotlessly every day, so suited our needs. The hotel in itself, inside can feel very dated, with not really all that much in terms of stuff and see and do (saying that, i have probably stayed in more dated hotels in Spain and Cyprus) but main thing is it was clean and staff all speak English. The main plus was the pool area, which was excellent, and we were happy to spend all day here from morning through to 6pm when it closes. Drinks were in good supply, with a mixture of soft drinks, beers and wine's.... but being honest, after 5 days I was pretty much fed up with the beer and was content with lemonade. One thing you will notice though is that the hotel does not really cater as such for British Guests, and while staff all speak English, the entertainment all speak French, and after a few days I started to notice I was getting greeted by the staff with “Cześć” and “Gen Dobry”..... it then clicked that Tunisia seems to get a insane amount of Polish holiday makers, and the staff just assume anyone who does not greet them in French are automatically Polish..... This provided me with some cheap laughs for my Ukrainian Wife :-) So it certainly caters more for French, Algerian and Polish tourists more than Brits, but when the entertainment team discover that you are British, they do go that extra mile to make you welcome and join in. Food was top rate, but I did notice that the second week there did appear to be a massive difference in the quality, and by this point I was content with just a salad. Good advice is to skip the first area of food, and go to the grill on the open terrace, as this is where you can get a good selection of pasta's, grilled meats (Kebabs the first week were excellent, but the second week these did not seem to make an appearance, and it was just sausages most the time), fresh pizza's, chips and occasionally couscous (proper way) and gyros (these were VERY popular, along with a curry pancake dish). Deserts were the big plus, with wonderful ice cream on order that is as good, if not better, than anything I have tried in an Italian restaurant or cafe. For a change of scenery, there is a private hotel beach a 5 minute walk from the hotel, but its not really mentioned by the staff at check in or sign posted, and it was only when I met our Rep did they mention it. Its ok for a few hours, but the sea here is VERY dirty with rubbish (plastic bags, paper, bottles etc) and we started to get fed up with it (also the loungers here are VERY uncomfortable compared to the ones by the pool). At night the Madina Market is just a short stroll away, and we enjoyed going here at night, where you can take in the buzz of activity going on, but most the time at night it was way to hot, and you find yourself running to the Joys department store across the road to get in to the A/C. All in all, a great holiday, but feel peaked way to early, and by 3/4 days into the second week, me and my family were ready for home. My wife and kids loved it, with my wife trying to convince her mother to join them next summer to return here.
