| said: The hotel is very clean, we had clean towels every day, the maid was very friendly she made fans out of the bedding and nightclothes every day was different and always put fresh flowers on the bed.
All of the staff were helpful and very friendly. The restaraunt is buffet style and there was always a huge selection of tunisian and english foods and every night was a different menu.
The Miramar is right on the beach (which is fantastic) but away from the centre of hammamet but it only costs 3 dinar back from the medina (

| said: I visited the hotel on the 18th of Feb 07 and left on the 25th. I have to say that this particular hotel was amazing. It was kept so clean and tidy.
The staff were the most friendly people that I have ever met. Whilst I was here I felt very welcomed by all the staff as soon as I walked into the hotel. I went with my
mum, dad, sister and my nephew, all the staff were loved by my 3 year old nephew who at the end of the holiday didn't want to go.
This trip has made me book another holiday for May in the same hotel, and also seriously consider buying myself and my sister a house out there.
I made some really good friends here and I'm sure that anyone going will also.

| said: If you are a young couple with some toddlers this is the place for you.
If you want a peaceful quiet holiday, relaxing with a drink and a book this is not for you. There is too much activity and noise from kids yelling and running in every area.
If you are near the main swimming pool you will never get a siesta because the loud entertainment for children will start and was deafening and unrelaxing.
We had sleepless nights in the heat, bitten by mosquitoes because we had to have the windows wide open for air because the air conditioning did not work.
If you want a spacious clean and cool restaurant this is not the place to come. We were moved several times in the week from table to table elbow to elbow,often sharing with total grumpy strangers, not what we had in mind at all.
The eating area was also often far too hot and airless to enjoy the holiday camp type food. We will never return.

| said: The hotel is a little 'worn' in places but it is clean and comfortable. There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms and no TV remote. But this didn't bother us (who watches TV when on holiday?)
The waiters and other staff were very friendly and went out of their way to please.
The food was very good and even my fussy teenage daughters found something to eat. We found if you made an effort with the staff you got repaid ten fold. The head waiter was great, showing us magic tricks during dinner and made a real fuss of the children. They also appreciated my poor attempts to speak tourist Arabic phrases!!
We had a great time. Go with an open mind, it is not Spain, but the people are very friendly and we had a fantastic holiday.

| said: The Mirimar Hotel in Hammamet is an old hotel with beautiful gardens.
It has 2 outdoor pools and one indoor and the back gate leads right on to the beach. The rooms were cleaned every day and the food is very good with a selection for everybody. The location is excellent being right on the beach and only a few miles by taxi to the night spots which are great.
The staff are a great bunch where nothing is any trouble for them. There is entertainment every night in one or the other of their 2 bars.
I have visited this hotel many times over the years and have stayed in it twice.
It's a great place for a holiday.

| said: My Wife, elderly mother and two toddlers stayed at this hotel. The kids Playgroup was terrible. The staff were not friendly and leaving our children in the kids club was a risk as the person in charge did not care if we their, no greeting or hello.
The food was good, hence the hotel was not clean and all staff were not friendly.
The entertainment was not suitable for young children but very rude and slapstick and in German.
The hotel manager is excellent but it seems the hotel is too old and staff and cleanliness don't make it a 4 star rating at all! not recommended at all!!

| said: This was a 4 star when it was built, but probably should be re-rated. Having said that, it is a traditional Tunisian hotel in its design and layout, not a modern glass and concrete behemoth.
Rooms are clean enough and the bed is firm. I think they are looking for a vacuum cleaner. There is a good variety of food and the chef asked us what he could prepare for the British, we got shepherds pie. Nobody was ill.
Location is good on the beach. Staff are generally good although the bar staff could circulate more. This was off season, so entertainment was reduced, the 'team' put on a good Comedy show, Saturday Night Fever and a Casino night.
The clientele was 40% British, 40% French, 10% German, 10% others.
This is a popular hotel for Tunisian weekenders so this is a plus and a recommendation.

We were welcomed on our arrival by the hotel staff and a free cocktail. Our holiday rep was very prompt in introducing himself and went out of his way to make our whole families holiday a very memorable one.
We found the food very good and were particularly impressed with the New Years Eve celebrations put on at the hotel Miramar.
Our rooms were lovely the excursions were run to a very high standard and we were given plenty of info on what to expect from our My Travel rep who had an extensive knowledge of the local area.
We would not hesitate in going back to this hotel.
The staff were very helpful and friendly which was very refreshing. An altogether great holiday.

The gardens are quite dark leading to hotel rooms but we had a lovely young man to carry our cases and lead through.
The room was pleasant and clean. We had a problem with a leaky roof in the bathroom and was promptly upgraded the next day, very fast service.
The food was very nice, not a full english cooked breakfast but everything you could want. The evening meals were also very good plenty of choice to suit everyone. Our waiter at the table was also very professional and pleasant all the time we were there.
Location very good. Hotel staff couldnt do enough for you, very polite and friendly. Entertainment ok suited us. would definitely go again

| said: Booked a 4* half board allocation on arrival, which meant we unluckily arrived at this hotel.
We arrived at 2.30am no staff on apart from one man who had to deal with about 30 guests. Hotel gardens were in darkness were not even shown where our hotel room was.
The food was awful and do not cater for us Brits.
The evening entertainment was also dreadful, there was none, unless you spoke German. I suggest if you want to have an evening drink with meal, drink in the restaurant.
Although the rooms were cleaned everyday, we had sheets that were covered in blood.
The rooms & hotels need refurbishing, definitely not a 4* hotel, more like 2*.
We were pestered everyday by a man selling a camel caravan, do not go with this man, the stories we heard about this trip were awful. Do not also travel with Panorama if you help. Had 8 hour delay on the way home, were diverted to Gatwick instead of Stansted. The Panorama staff were rude, arrogant and very hostile. We were told of delay 15 mins before bus was due to pick us up, we were told that the delay was originally 4 hours, and that we would be taken to Sahara Beach hotel in Monastir, and have meal and drink, when we arrived the Panorama reps had no idea what we were on about. The delay was now 8 hours. The staff were very rude, and more or less told us that we would have to make our own arrangements for when we get back to UK, as it wasn

| said: The food was particularly poor for a 4 star hotel we ate out because it was really flavourless and repetitive.
In mid March the area was extremely quiet with the few bars that were open totally deserted. We would have stayed in the hotel if it catered for Brits but everything was in German and apart from 10 people the only language I heard spoken was German.

We arrived in the middle of the night after a long delay to find that there was not even a drink of water available. The rooms were very disappointing (def more 1* than the supposed 4!)
On going for breakfast we discovered the food to be the next problem - HORRIBLE - both I and my partner have travelled extensively and have honestly never experienced anything like it. The food actually smelled bad the minute you walked in to the room. There were also flies everywhere.
There was an almost constant smell of sewage at the pool area.
I got sick half way through the week and almost had to be hospitalized - have been sick ever since and I

| said: Good location, shame about the rest. During our stay there was a severe outbreak of sickness and diarrhoea. Over 30 families affected. We all reported it to the holiday rep.
We picked up the illness after only 2 days in hotel. There was a disgusting sewage smell around the complex and flies everywhere in the restaurant.
On return to England visit doctors, then hospital to find out that the whole family (7 of us in all) have picked up a Notifiable Disease - Cryptosporidium. This is a parasite that thrives in contaminated water. The bad news that there is no "cure", we have to let it leave our bodies of its own course.
It has now been three weeks and I am still pouring out brown watery diarrhoea, along with my 6, 4, and 2 year old. As well as our disease there were three other contaminated water diseases picked up - need I say more.
I did not drink the local water, or swim in the pool - that leaves only food!!!
