Good afternoon, dear users! I had a chance to spend 8 days at the Laico Hammamet Hotel 5 *. Let's start in order, the hotel definitely does not pull for 5 stars, this is Tunisia and you need to understand that this is not Europe and not Turkey. Among Tunisian hotels, it is not bad. The territory of the hotel is small, there is simply nowhere to walk on the territory itself.

Good afternoon, dear users! I had a chance to spend 8 days at the Laico Hammamet Hotel 5 *. Let's start in order, the hotel definitely does not pull for 5 stars, this is Tunisia and you need to understand that this is not Europe and not Turkey. Among Tunisian hotels, it is not bad.
The territory of the hotel is small, there is simply nowhere to walk on the territory itself. There is a swimming pool on the territory, it is not big, not deep, mostly mothers with children lived there.
The beach is across the road, walk 3 minutes, generally ok. The beach is not perfectly clean, but if you don’t find fault, it’s normal, I even saw how the tractor cleaned once, and the second time a hotel worker. On the beach, sunbeds, mattresses - free of charge - it's buzzing.
Further, in terms of nutrition, I had enough of everything, of course, breakfast was not very good, maybe because I woke up already at closing, but there were always fresh pancakes, several types of sausage, cheese, butter, jams, sausages, something similar to casseroles, fresh pastries , for breakfast will go. Lunch and dinner are top notch. There is a lot of food, varied, there is not very tasty food, but I have never been hungry, several types of meat have always been, seafood shrimp and mussels, salads, side dishes, different types of potatoes, rice, pasta, all sorts of sweets. Drinking water, juice (not quite like juice), wine, red, white, rose, beer. The waiters were left for a tip, we were well served.
The room is in principle normal, not killed, as a rule, people from Russia and Ukraine are settled in not very good rooms, but foreigners in better rooms. Therefore, it is better not to regret $ 20 upon check-in and immediately ask for a good room with a good view.
Further, the cleaning of the rooms is regular, the bed was changed 4 times in 8 days, although there were misunderstandings with towels, there were enough towels upon arrival, then they didn’t change for 3 of them until I put everything on a pile and put a dinar on top.
The biggest minus in the hotel is entertainment, for children there is animation, karaoke, fakir shows, normal, but for adults there is live music at the bar every evening, well, that's about it, no disco and other entertainment.
If you still came to Tunisia, and are thinking how to spend time so as not to be bored - one way out is excursions, a guide offers them at the hotel, you can kill time, see and learn something interesting.
I rode on the squares - I liked it.
This is not all that I would like to write, maybe I missed something.

Fully agree with the review of mir77. Rested with children this year from 25.05. to 01.06. I liked the hotel, the service is excellent, the food is also very tasty and for every choice and taste, and there is no need to write that there is nothing to eat. . . For breakfast, yogurt, scrambled eggs, pancakes with any filling to choose from, milk porridge, not to mention dry breakfasts - muesli, nesquik, cereal.

I liked the hotel, the service is excellent, the food is also very tasty and for every choice and taste, and there is no need to write that there is nothing to eat. . . For breakfast, yogurt, scrambled eggs, pancakes with any filling to choose from, milk porridge, not to mention dry breakfasts - muesli, nesquik, cereal. a lot of fresh fruits - peaches, strawberries, watermelon, melon. For lunch and dinner, the choice is the most diverse - chicken in different variations, lamb, all kinds of fish, very tasty, shrimp, mussels. . of the side dishes, there was always rice, potatoes, pasta. It is very good that the sauces were offered separately - everyone could add whatever they wanted to taste. . Soups were straight frayed as for kids. I am silent about cakes and pastries in general - they are simply masterpieces ! ! It feels like everything is made with love! ! So with food, you will definitely not be hungry ! ! The only negative is that there is no play area for children on the territory of the hotel. There is a playground for tennis, basketball (the eldest son, 10 years old, still had something to do), for the youngest daughter, 5 years old, boredom. . . There is an animation room, but no one works with children there, they came with their daughter to draw a couple of times, they entertained themselves. . So here the hotel is more suitable for families without children. In our period, there were many people of the older generation, Germans and French. By the way, no one speaks Russian at the reception, everything is in French or English, so a minimum knowledge of these languages will be needed. And at the expense of warm clothes - so you will need it here - in the morning and afternoon it is hot, and in the evening there is a cool breeze. In general, we were satisfied.

Rested with a friend from 05.0912 to 13.09. 12. When we bought the tour, we heard from the manager of the Biblio-globe on Pokrovka something like: "This is the hotel where people return. " . . I say right away - nonsense, we talked with many Russians at that moment vacationing in this hotel, at best, the reviews from the series are normal, the main thing is the sea and the vacation itself, and in the worst case, it sucks.

Rested with a friend from 05.0912 to 13.09. 12. When we bought the tour, we heard from the manager of the Biblio-globe on Pokrovka something like: "This is the hotel where people return. " . . I say right away - nonsense, we talked with many Russians at that moment vacationing in this hotel, at best, the reviews from the series are normal, the main thing is the sea and the vacation itself, and in the worst case, it sucks. . . In short and objectively, the hotel itself is more likely to be 3+ no more, the rooms are large but dirty, the hotel itself is asking to be renovated, Russians are settled, all other things being equal, but in the presence of a large number of Russians, Arabs and French who arrived at the same time, mostly on the first two floors and in the most lame rooms. By the way, if you are told that the issue with the replacement of the number can be resolved on the spot, do not believe it, only the intervention of Dmitry, the representative of the library, saves the situation. By the way, many thanks to him, as we realized that all the jambs of the Moscow office on the spot helps to resolve it in this hotel. Further about the hotel, we understood when we were driving that this was a former French colony, but still we hoped that there would be at least inscriptions and main signs in English, alas, they are not there, the staff speaks English but there are not many of them, this is a big minus. The food at the hotel also does not correspond to 5 stars, which only cost huge queues for distribution, cutlets and steaks for the calculation of no more than 1-2 pieces per hand, there were a lot of fish only on one of the days, as we understood it was a fish day, otherwise tiny shrimp, not chewing squids and nothing else to remember, pancakes saved in the morning, but in the end for some reason they were given no more than 2x per plate, and in the evening and afternoon pasta, fried zucchini / eggplant / tomatoes and fried lamb sausages rescued. By the way, about wine, because I understand a little about wines, what is poured on all inclusive, to put it mildly, is not very good, if you want something tasty either for a fee at the hotel or in neighboring restaurants. . . Green peaches were especially upsetting, tasteless for unripe melons and watermelons, there were only dates and plums in abundance, only pastries, all sorts of cakes, pastries and other unhealthy sweets, were very tasty and varied. In general, you will not starve, but not about 5 stars, or even about 4 stars, there can be no question. . . Further, about the hotel - there is no territory as such, a tiny pool, the sea takes about 10 minutes to walk across the promenade, about the smells on the promenade that remind me of the stable where my horse stands, dried manure and other things that were written earlier - that's right, I won't repeat, I'll add a system of sellers with shouts of "Russian, pasmatri, freebie, how are you... "- and other apparently recently learned Russian words, the spelling of the authors is preserved. Further, about the sea - the beach is dirty, the sea is in kelp and with a corresponding smell, these are algae if someone does not know. True, as we understood, they are in Yasmine almost everywhere, starting from the port area. In principle, many people do not pay attention to them, we got used to them quite quickly, especially since at times there are fewer of them due to a change in the wind and current. . . As for leisure, we didn’t suffer much because we weren’t fans of any disco there, but everyone who wanted such entertainment had to go to northern Nammamet, in the Yasmine resort area there are only restaurants and cafes, by the way, gourmets come here, because it is in them that you can taste huge and delicious dishes with seafood and good wine. . . about thalasso, as such, this hotel does not have it, to be honest, it's just a SPA with a good hammam, after it you can do a peeling with black soap and several types of massages are very good, but no more. Thalassotherapy is a very separate thing, there are not so many thalassocenters, these are Hasdrubal, Bioazur and some other one. everything else, I repeat, is a SPA, be careful because a real thalasso is a very separate thing!! ! read all the information beforehand!! ! By the way, this is also confirmed by guides on excursions in a private conversation. . . Now about excursions, they really brighten up leisure time, but a lot depends on the guides. I went without a girlfriend and I was very lucky because the guides told all the way the history of Tunisia, its place in the general history, and not like some about family and shops. Guides Tatyana (El Jem and Kairouan) and Mae (Carfgen, Tunisia and Sidi Bou Said) have a separate respect for the most fascinating excursion into the history of the country, into the history of Islam and history in general !! ! These two excursions greatly decorated my vacation, but I repeat that when exchanging impressions at the hotel there were a lot of negative reviews and about excursions due to unprofessional guides. . Summarizing, I can say that even for me, to put it mildly, not a fan of oriental culture, Tunisia causes an ambiguous response, on the one hand, dirt and all sorts of different features of the mentality, on the other hand, there is something in it that makes you think about re-arrival.... but definitely not in this hotel.... .

First time in Tunisia. We are currently on our third day of vacation. I am writing from the hotel, Wi-Fi in the room is free and works great. Kyivstar does not work for everyone, and telephone communication is very expensive, so it’s better to take a laptop to communicate with loved ones, and Skype is generally excellent.

First time in Tunisia. We are currently on our third day of vacation. I am writing from the hotel, Wi-Fi in the room is free and works great. Kyivstar does not work for everyone, and telephone communication is very expensive, so it’s better to take a laptop to communicate with loved ones, and Skype is generally excellent. Having paid for the tours, I decided to read the reviews and was very disappointed, but when I arrived at the hotel my opinion changed. The hotel is very decent, the rooms are all with balconies and large. There is a mini-bar, but paid. Safe in the room free of charge, hair dryer. Cleaned every day and as shampoos, soaps, gels, nail files and bathing caps are used, they are immediately replenished. The food is excellent, the best of all where we were (vacated in Turkey, Egypt and Bulgaria in 4 * and 5 *) took all inclusive. Breakfasts are like everywhere else eggs, pancakes, pastries, etc. , but also fresh juices with strawberries and oranges, yogurts. Fruits and cakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Soups for lunch and dinner (edible). There is a lot of meat for lunch and dinner (lamb, beef, chicken, liver, and there was some meat with an interesting taste, but I didn’t make out which one), always fish, shrimp. Drink too, please, do not go and wait until they pour you, they come up as soon as they sat down at the table, ask and bring a bottle of wine (white, pink and red) and tear it off in front of you. Beer, cocktails, Pepsi, Fanta, coffee, tea, water for every taste. Bar all day and free. Bottled water at the bar is available upon request. So you won't be hungry. The only thing for each order of alcohol or drinks is given in the check to sign for the report. A small minus is the beach, it’s a little tidy, but in general I won’t say that it’s dirty and the beach bar is not working yet, since their season starts from mid-May. There are few sun loungers, people too, a towel is issued at the hotel near the pool. There is no animation and a small area, but there is where to go. The sea is nearby, across the road. The sea water is clean but cold. Although swimming and sunbathing without problems. It's cool in the evenings, take something warm, but it's hot during the day. There are a lot of shops nearby. So take a good mood and relax. Good luck to all!

If the purpose of your trip is to lose weight, swim in the sea and get enough sleep, Laiko Hammamet is your choice! For breakfast, except for eggs and rolls, there is nothing (salads left over from dinner do not count), and for dinner you will be offered bony river small fish, microscopic shrimps and mussels.

If the purpose of your trip is to lose weight, swim in the sea and get enough sleep, Laiko Hammamet is your choice!
For breakfast, except for eggs and rolls, there is nothing (salads left over from dinner do not count), and for dinner you will be offered bony river small fish, microscopic shrimps and mussels. At best, you will find grilled chicken and "friendship" stew (chew - give to another). the only
joy - watermelons and melons. The rest of the fruit can be played golf or tennis (depending on the caliber).
Near the hotel there is a whole alley with restaurants where you can have a hearty and inexpensive meal (max. $ 20 per person). Had they known, they would have taken one breakfast. Thalassotherapy in the spa at the hotel costs the same as in a good salon in Moscow. However, the quality is average (and the duration
procedures are 2 times less... The devices are all ancient (LPG, myo-stimulation). He advises to visit the hammam upon arrival (they peel off so that you might think you have not washed for a year).
The original room cleaning will not leave you indifferent! After all, you are in a 5-star hotel! Forget the robes. A wilted rose was thrown into the trash before leaving for the beach . . We returned from the sea, and she was back in her place (in a vase on the table). Dirty 2-day glasses are filled with water and left on the sink. New soap was given to us after being next to the remnant

Keep order yourself.
The balcony door does not close. It's good that there is no one in the room, but a safe...
Drinking water is paid, there are feathers and bird nests on the balcony.
ABOUT! The most interesting: as it turned out, there is no animation in this hotel!
In the evening, your attention will be offered "live" music (in the hotel lobby and next to the pool, where you can remember your school years, sitting on an uncomfortable chair at an old school desk).
Target audience: couples with and without children, pensioners. Russian units. But more than half are Arabs.
Moreover, their women are adorned with henna (apparently, the mating season): the palms of the hands, the feet... There are always no beach towels. We went with the same ones for 2 days in a row. Beach: relatively clean. The toilet is on the key at the bartender in the beach bar . . There is NO shower !! ! Tipping is everything! For 2 dinars every day for 6 days on the 7th day you will be booked 2 sunbeds with good mattresses.
It should be noted that the locals are not as intrusive as the Egyptians "bye" (there are few Russians resting in Hammamet)... There is a supermarket near the hotel where you can buy yogurts (about a good
forget the sausage for the rest), fruits, protective creams, household chemicals.
It is better to stock up on medicines in Moscow, as it takes about 20 minutes to stomp to the nearest pharmacy... Better take what you are used to. And be sure to take it with you. something from MEDUZAS! They periodically swim closer to the shore . . In general, they are satisfied with the rest!
The main thing is attitude!
But we will not come back to this hotel and will not recommend. It is clearly not 5 stars.
Solid 3 with a plus, or far-fetched 4 stars.

In September, we rested for 2 weeks with my sister at the Cartago Hammamet hotel. On the way from the airport, the guide said that Hammamet has the cleanest sea. what we saw surprised us very much. Go to the sea from the hotel for 5-7 minutes across the road. The entire coastal strip of the sea is black, fetid algae.

Go to the sea from the hotel for 5-7 minutes across the road. The entire coastal strip of the sea is black, fetid algae. Entering the sea is not an activity for the faint of heart: not everyone will agree to go into a warm, fetid slurry in consistency resembling, at best, thick pea soup. True, 2 days before our departure, the owners of the hotel drove a tractor-excavator, which scooped out and stored this mass on the beach during the day. The sound of a working tractor + the smell made us a "good" mood. : both food and service are at the level. We went to another hotel for spa treatments (on the advice of a guide). Of course, the procedures are pleasant, but the quality of the procedures and the qualifications of the staff were not impressive. In general, I don’t want to go there again. Those who were in Sousse and in Hammamet they said that Sousse is better. The sea is exactly right.

The sea is dirty (bags, bottles, etc. ), shallow. Nobody cleans up on the beach.
The restaurant is a monotonous menu. Fruits - apples, plums, grapes, melons - were at the beginning of the holiday, then ended. And sellers walk along the beach and sell bananas, watermelons and other exotic fruits.
But most importantly, there is a road near the hotel, along which cars, sightseeing trains and horse-drawn carts drive until late in the evening. The feeling is that you are on the Moscow Ring Road.
You can close the balcony and turn on the air conditioning, but why then a room with a sea view?
From all this I had to extract the maximum of pleasure, otherwise you would not have a rest.
We understand that 5 Arab stars are not five in Europe. We know, we swam.
But for some reason, I really want to get rest and pleasure for my money.

And we are lucky too!! ! : lol: could never get it at all! The hotel is mainly aimed at serving congresses. Now there are crowds of blacks, then a horde of ladies in headscarves.... it's kind of stressful.....They were also busy painting the hotel during our stay.... you get up in the morning.... sunshine outside.... you go out to the balcony. . . and there are already two chocks sitting and smearing your balcony.....romance!!!! ! Beach to the beginning of the season did not bother to prepare.... apparently decided that you can lie by the pool.... As for food, you need to take "all inclusive", otherwise you will have to choke on hamburgers with fries for lunch.... Yes. . . and most importantly, while relaxing in Tunisia, you must not forget to tip everyone, otherwise you will not see any service.... either the towels will not be changed, or the plates in the restaurant will not be taken away. . . And the rest.... nothing.....the main thing for forgetting to take aperitifs.... and everything will be fine
