This is the first and last time we have stayed at this hotel. We have been to Tunisia three times and this hotel is without doubt the worst we have stayed at.
The room cleaning staff were superb the majority of waiters were very offhand to put it mildly. In the restaurant the choice and variety of food was very good the standard of hygene however left a lot to be desired in the week that we stayed only the top table cloth was changed that only at night, there was always a shortage of plates and cutlery, in the morning cups were at a premium the juices ran out and you had to wait for the machines to be filled up if you asked for a spoon for cereals you usually got a fork.
Other than that weather great, locals very helpful.

Stayed at the Bel Azur, this is our second visit and enjoyed it very much, have just booked for 7 days at the end of January 2007 for our birthdays.
This year (2006), I also found the dining room in the morning waiting for cups, saucers, cutlery etc. The food was plentiful, you never ran out but I did find they could not cope in keeping up in collecting the dirty dishes.
In 2005 we went in the third week of July which was busier than this year and there was no problems, I just presume they had not ordered enough plates saucers, etc.
The waiters, very friendly, perhaps at times familiar with you, but I call that old fashinoned service.
Pool side and beach side service very well attended, always happy to get your cushions and table for you.
The beach and sea just brilliant.

Just returned from a fantastic 2 week holiday at the bel azur in hammamet.this was our 2nd visit to this hotel and
We loved it as much this time as the first.
We had a fab room overlooking the beach and our maids were super as were all the hotel staff. Nothing was a problem and they went out of their way to make our stay as happy as possible.
Resturant very busy but food very varied and 1 night was served by the pool with a band. Very nice resturant opposite hotel-black and white great food served as late as you want.
Would highly recommend this hotel.

Felt we had to put in an up to date review of this hotel.
Clean and well maintained, also able to use the facilities of the entire "Azur" complex, so you have 3 of everything to choose from, plus indoor pool if it rains or is windy (oh yes!!) Obviously you eat in your own hotel morning and evening but otherwise, go where you want.
Staff were friendly, the hotel is slap on the beach and a 15-20 minute walf from the Medina in Hammamet.
Food, had plenty of choice but the nugget and chips brigade may struggle with the evening menu.
Didn't actually see any evening entertainment but the animation team were great and friendly.
There several tennis courst which can double as basketball or 5 a side and 12 year old son made much use of them, and whilst you are supposed to pay for a tennis session (there is a coach) a bunch of peopple booting a ball around was never questioned.
All in all you'd have to upset them to get these people going, treat the locals with the respect you'd expect and you'll get it back in spades.

This was our third visit to the Bel Azure, the last time being 6yrs ago. We were most surprised to find nothing had changed.
The rooms were clean as was the whole hotel!
Plenty of choice with food but then again we only stayed one week.
We choose the Bel Azure because it is a fairly quiet hotel. My husband did have to complain about very and I mean very loud music around the pool area. You sit by the pool to chill out not to listen to the favourite music of the animation team playing full blast!!!!
Apart from that we had a really good time.

I would imagine this hotel would have been fabulous in the 60's but it is now very tired and run down.
The rooms are quite shabby and in need of a total renovation as is the hotel.
The hotel staff were very pleasant and as helpful as possible.
I can't remark on the entertainment as we didn't see any, through choice, but we had heard good reports on it.

If you love cats then this is your place, they overrun the grounds and often scamper into the dinning room. We had the table dividers removed from the dinning room as the cat's had used the flower pots in them as litter trays, not a pleasant smell when you are eating.
There are no kettles in the room so don't forget to take a travel kettle. The water is so chlorinated that you think you are drinking the water from the swimming pool.
The majority of holiday makers here were Russians, they seemed very load and didn't like to queue at any time.
Brush up on your French as this helps a great deal, all the locals use this as a second language.
All in all we will not come back to either the hotel or the resort again, sad but true.

Just returned from a wonderful week at Bel Azur hotel.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them.
Food was fantastic, such a wide choice every meal time, well cooked and presented.
The hotel was very clean in all areas, as was the pool, and the gardens were a delight. Rather a lot of steps to the beach, but well worth the effort to get to it with plenty of free sun beds.
Entertainment was very varied, water polo, aerobics, discos, caberet, belly dancing lessons and a disco for kids that they all enjoyed. No pressure to do anything if you just wanted to laze about.
My husband and I are both retired but we really enjoyed our time at Bel Azur and will certainly be returning there in the near future.

Hotel cleanliness was to a high standard with linen and towels changed daily and the room cleaned daily. Public areas were spotless. Restaurant and bar areas were equally clean and welcoming.
Hotel food was always to a high standard, in good quantity and with lots of choice, though the coffee left a little to be desired.
Located in its own complex which was gated with security staff in attendance.
Entertainment needs to move away from the bingo syndrome, though it was worth it just to hear the staff calling the numbers in eight languages - quite remarkable.
I would definitely visit this hotel again.

We arrived in Tunisia on 15 May 2004, I have to say my first impressions of Tunisia were not fantastic, however we travelled from Monastir with an open mind.
We arrived at the Bel Azur approx 1.5 hrs later and were greeted by bell boys!! A first for us, this greatly impressed I can tell you. Sorry if I am going into massive details but when I tried to find information about this hotel and Tunisia there wasn't alot around.
Anyway, the food was cooked to a very high standard, and I would class myself as a fussy eater, and what a variety! Although the same dishes are served on the same day weekly, I found there to be a wide chioce of vegetables - Fresh not the frozen rubbish some places in England deem to serve, ric,e at least 5 meat dishes, 1 fish dish and a choice of vegetarian dishes along with a large salad and desert section.
Breakfast does cater more to the continental side of things and I wasn't brave enough to try the bacon (I think it was belly pork?!?) but you have to remember this is Tunisia not the Costa Del Sol!! But there were fresh omlettes/eggs cooked for you in front of you to your liking, cereals with fresh milk and toast - plenty I think.
Well worth the
