Sousse is a busy resort which is rapidly growing.
We read loads of review from people saying they didn't feel safe etc and the Medina was weird.
I took my 7 year old right on in there and had nothing but a warm friendly welcome.
I always find that people treat you as you treat them.
If you appreciate experiencing a different culture - you HAVE to visit the Medina.
Sousse will one day I'm sure be transformed into a typical holiday resort but for now it's a busy hard working little place that showed me how other people live their life.

there was barely any music by the pool because some moaning mini complained about the noise, if you dont like it tough! if you want a relaxing holiday then go to somewhere where there are no kids!

There really isn't anything much off the Hotel site. Just a couple of shops and a bar. It is on a direct bus route to both Monastir and Sousse. A 10 minute trip which costs 30p. Bargain. There are always taxis outside the Hotel as well if you don't want to wait for the bus.

The beaches were kept clean and the resort itself didn't have an air of dirtiness about it. The medina was brilliant for shopping but don't be put off by people trying to drag you into their shops, it is worth putting up with we bought some brilliant pottery. Can't comment much on resort entertainment as we didn't go out in the evening except to watch football. There is a brilliant bar which shows all the games in the Taj Marhaba Centre over the road to the hotel, the Rose and Crown and the staff were really friendly. The hotel had a private beach which was fantastic but was spoilt by the fact the person in charge of sunbeds was extremely rude and made it quite clear he wanted tipping everytime he got you a sunbed. We loved the resort and look forward to going back next Easter.

Sousse is beautiful and the beach is spotless, we did not go out in the evening as there was plenty of entertainment at hotel complex with nightclub which opened till 3am. I did not enjoy the medina as you could not put one foot in front of the other without getting hassled. The marina is a must with its dancing fountain which is breathtaking, there is also market there which is good. There is a zoo for the kids and if you want you can go on a boat trip. We got on a catamaran and sailed for 1 hr for 10 dina (£5.00) in all this holiday was fantastic and we cannot wait to go back.

Very well maintained resort outside. Hotel Beach was very clean, but walk up the beach either way and it was very dirty!
The guys did their best to keep you happy but it was same thing most of the time as there was no familys in the whole resort at that time of year and it was cold and raining!! Mostly over 60's. There was a disco every night (we were the only ones there most of the time) Man who does traditonal balancing acts and the belly dancer.
We got hasseled by the guy who sells carpets there all the time, even in the swimming pool!!! Beware of people who approch you outside the resort and on the beach, they can be relentless to get you to buy something and can be a bit much if you're not used to Tunisia. They will even say they work at your hotel to get you into their shop!! Taxis are outside all the time and don't pay anymore than 4 Dinars, they also follow you too if you walk to get customers!
Wont be going again, I feel there are better places to go...

We had a quad bike 'safari' which was supposed to last 2 hours+, fortunately it only lasted 1 hour 15 mins including a 10 minute stop for a drink. Most of the 'Safari' route was driving around the back streets of the town and it was like driving around a rubbish tip, not reccommended.
Loads of hassle when you visit the shops and we went on the 3 Citys Excursion. The morning was taken up with a 20 minute video on Muslim religion, visits to 2 Mosques, well the courtyards actually, whilst having to listen to the guide non stop about the Muslim culture and religion. After lunch at the Casbar Hotel, supposedly 5 star but we couldn't get a cup of tea or drink of orange with our lunch, some 5 star! we then visited the Colosseum. Then on to Monastir for 1 hour shopping. I wouldn't reccommend this to anyone. Taxis the best option for getting around. Agree the price first and most local journeys between 4 and 6 dinars. The weather was brilliant except for the last day when there was torrentil rain ( your not bothered about the rain then though are you) The best shopping areas are those with the fixed prices as there are lots of bargains to be had, especially ladies leather handbags and shoes. I got a cracking chess set, half of the price that I paid in Prague from the same manufacturer.

Sousse is everything to stimulate your senses: the smell of incense which you can buy for a dinar in the Medina and which is handed to you in a cone of newspaper, the cry of the imam calling the faithful to prayer, the rich red robes of the old traditional Tunision women, the occasonal swirling cloak of a Tunisian man, the sweet mint tea, the rich coffee, sweet roast almonds on sale in the market, the smell of spices
Tunisia is a land of peace and tolerance. It is common sight to see a policewoman, female doctor, government official.
Tunisia is a democratic country whee people can speak freely.
Don't be afraid if someone you don't knpw says hello to you, most Tunisians love to practice their English on you.
try smiling at the people passing youon the street, chances are, you'll get a shy smile in return.
Don't be scared if you suddenly come upon a group of young men in hoods, sitting on a wall; they'll be wearing the hoods to keep warm if it's winter months.
I've never heard of anyone being mugged here, the occasional pichpocket in the camel maret, yes, but the police are like rotweillers on theives: tourism is Tunisia's main industry, so they want ytou to come back.
Girls! unlike England, you're no considered over the hill once you hit 50 in Tunisia! of course, there will always be the odd one or two looking for a passport to \England, but most men see the person rather than the stickinsect that English men go for.
Sit in the outdoor cafe in the medina and sip a mint tea or a cafe creme and watch the world go by!
Go on the internet in the street where the post office is, it's about 1 1/2 dn (about 75pence) for 30 mins.
Ask someone where the patisserie La Perle is. They make cakes to die for, about 75 pence each.
Hav a great time! I always do
