Delfino Beach Resort and Spa

"We’ve just returned from a fantastic all-inclusive week at Calimera Delfino Beach Resort in Hammamet, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! The resort itself is stunning – the grounds are beautifully maintained, the pool and beach are spotless, and everything feels so relaxing and well cared for. Our room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and I definitely recommend booking a sea-view room – waking up to that view every morning was just perfect. What really made our stay unforgettable was the amazing staff. Every single person we met was friendly, welcoming, and always smiling – from the reception team to the restaurant staff, the cleaners, gardeners, and everyone at the spa. A huge thank you to Mohammed (“Amooooreee!”) at the pool bar for his fun energy and great service, and to Steve, Jimmy, and Gaia from the animation team who kept us entertained all day with activities that were engaging but never intrusive. Also, a special mention to Ali, the spa manager, for such a relaxing and professional experience. The food was another highlight – the buffet offered a wide variety of delicious dishes with new options every lunch and dinner, and everything was fresh and flavorful. There’s truly something for everyone. We also recommend taking a short taxi ride to visit the souks (markets) in Hammamet and Nabeul. Both are safe, friendly, and full of local charm – a great way to experience a bit of Tunisian culture. Overall, we had an amazing, relaxing, and fun week and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!"

"The good - The hotel, including room, grounds and beach were very pleasant, clean and tidy. Kids loved the sports including the tennis courts and gym. The not so good - My main gripe is the food. After about 4 days I'd had cold scrambled eggs, cold chips, raw fish goujons and lukewarm prawns (from the salad bar). After this I could only trust what I knew was freshly cooked and actually ended up skipping meals. The much vaunted salad bar was not chilled with the meats curling up in minutes on the room temperature slabs. Hilariously, on one day, left over chicken nuggets were smothered in mayo and presented as a salad item! No sneeze guards, nothing stopping little kids putting their hands on everything and no allergen information. Not once did i see anyone checking the temp of the food. Unfortunately, only the main restaurant was open, so choice very limited. The drinks - the beer was fine, soft drinks mainly from bottles (coke, fanta) - again fine. Cocktails were dreadful - only about 5 available and excruciatingly sweet to the point of being undrinkable. No fixings for bloody Mary - first AI in 25 years where I've not been able to have my pre dinner Bloody Mary. Hard times. The flies - very annoying at times. Insect spray seemed to have little effect. Hotel had no measures in place to deal with them. No traps, no zappers."

"1st impressions....arrived at 11.50 at night....presented with a hot tasty meal and a beer All the staff I met were so friendly and polite from the waiter to the gardener. The room was very clean larger than average with a view of a pool and the sea (1138) Plenty of hot tasty food on offer much variety was to be savoured. Just love the idea of a separate quiet pool, we often made use of this facility. What a great beach with plenty of seats, lovely to see it was kept clean. The animation team were busy offering events and competitions. We watched the Brazil show one night great dancing and VERY colourful. When booking in we tried to book an Alarcart meal, told to try the next day only to be told the manager had cancelled them. The second week the Aircon was turned off, we were told this was in the contract... whatever that means ? Still had a great time. To conclude if you fancy a slightly remote hotel to kick back and relax at I recommend this place."
