"We came to the Hotel Aziza Thalasso Golf for a week and had an amazing time.
When we first arrived we were shipped straight off to the restaurant to get something to eat before checking in. After that, we then checked in, which involved paying the tourist tax, changed our money into Tunisian Dinar, and got our pool towels - we had to leave a small (less than £10 - 40 Dinar towel deposit) - which we got back at the end of the holiday.
Our luggage was taken to our room and we were pleased with the size and feel of the room - mattresses were pretty firm - which I like and we had a safe (no charge for this which is a bonus) hairdryer in the room (which isn’t the best). The bath is perfectly good and the water gets hot fast and fills and empties fast.
The room’s outside seating area is okay - the chairs could do with cushions, and there is no lighting outside - which would make it more comfortable for sitting outside late at night.
A couple of plug sockets added near the bed would be handy, but this is a minor issue.
Tea and coffee facilities were included in the room, along with a fridge. The TV was very small by today’s standard, and we didn’t watch anything on it when we were in the room - again a minor issue.
The internet was fantastic for staying in touch with family back in the UK and we could get it in pretty much most areas of the hotel - certainly the best of anywhere we have stayed.
The food was great, we never had an issue and ate very very well all week - often going up for seconds. There is a wide variety of food available for breakfast, lunch and tea - there was plenty of pastries, puddings, pasta, and meat selections available every day.
There is also an outside seating area and as it was warm when we were there we ate outside for our lunch. The waiter service is very good and throughout our stay we were treated very well and always welcomed when we walked in and guided to our table and topped up with whatever drink we wanted, (water/juice/wine).
The staff are all a big selling point for the hotel - everyone greeted us with a smile and a ‘hello’ - from the people tending the gardens, to the cleaners who kept our rooms clean and tidy. The pool bar staff were great and kept us topped up with drinks. Entertainment - on an evening this was good, from piano players, to quizzes, karaoke, and professional singers all was good. During the day the activities guy came round and got us involved in whatever activities we wanted to do - my wife did aqua aerobics, which she enjoyed in the indoor pool. There was also other activities such as boules, darts, table tennis, cooking classes, wine tasting, however we were there to relax, so did not do these - and there was no pressure to do them.
Around the pool there are plenty of sunbeds available, with umbrellas if you need a bit of shade, generally there are plenty of beds available and did not have to rush down and worry we would have to scramble for a sunbed. The cushions on them tend to slip - so look for ones that have a string attached to hold them in place otherwise it will slide a bit.
If you like to work out there is a gym, and although some of the machines are a bit older, they do the job and there is plenty of equipment there to get a good workout in.
As some other reviews point out - be aware that one you step out of the hotel, there are strangers who will come up to you saying they are the chef at the hotel - we had three people say this same line on the 45 minute (flat and easy) walk into Hammamet.
In Hammamet itself, it is nice and has a Medina which is great for picking up the usual souvenirs - be prepared to haggle - we managed to get our price down around 40% for our gifts to bring home - some of the sellers are quite pushy, but this is nothing unusual if you have been to other countries such as Turkey.
The hotel is clean and being adults only and offering great food it is great value for money and we have already decided we will be back as we had a fantastic time."
