Hotel Lella Baya Thalasso

Couldn’t fault this hotel in anyway but the wifi is limited to downstairs. The staff are very polite despite the language barrier. The entertainment staff were excellent. Our room was clean and spacious. The food was good with a vast variety to suit everybody. Massages are reasonable priced and indoor pool is free. We definitely recommend.

I am currently staying this hotel by default due to it being allocated to me when the hotel I originally booked closed for renovations. I have been here for five days. 1: look and feel - quite a large imposing hotel that feels traditional in style and gives you that ‘wow’ moment when you walk through the door - very ornate with lots of charm and detail. Rooms are a little more basic, pure white and the feel quite fresh - there is both a shower and bath which is great for me as I prefer baths - beds are large and comfortable, bedding / pillows are thick and fresh / clean and good quality thickness / weight. 2: atmosphere - it is quite out of season atm - so the hotel is very relaxed and quiet. Ramadan has just started so breakfast/ lunchtimes are particularly quiet. We arrived at 9 pm after meals were finished but the receptionist sent us to the dining room and the guys there found us some nice food to eat which was appreciated. 3: Meals are generally quite traditional Tunisian - so great if you like to immerse yourself in new cultures and cuisine. There is a lady making unleavened bread on a hot plate which she fills with chilli and various fillings which we particularly liked. There is a good range of both meat and vegetable dishes, salads as well ad your pasta station and chips for the kids - lots of cakes and pastries. The guys in the restaurant are friendly, attentive and can not do enough for you - they really make a lovely dining atmosphere. Last night there was a guy with laying saxophone in the dining room which was lovely . 4: facilities there is an indoor and outdoor pool , spa and gym. Pools are free gym is £5 and spa varies. I’m having a spa package tomorrow 2.5 hers if treatments for £60. The spa pool is saltwater and tepid to slightly warm. The outdoor pools are currently too cold to use but they look lovely and I’m sure they’re great in summer. 5: entertainment: there is a kids club and evening entertainment programme karaoke, disco etc. all a bit dated but kids seem to be enjoying themselves. Difficult to comment on due to it being so quiet here so the evening atmosphere is quite subdued . The thing I like most about this hotel is the lovely staff and the welcoming friendly atmosphere they create. The thing I’m least impressed with is the location. I went into Hammamet and was quite underwhelmed. It was quite run down for the most part. Usual market stalls and traders with the same type of touristy tat you get in most places we originally wanted to go off resort for a special meal, but having seen it we decided there was nowhere that looked particularly inviting and we ate back at the hotel. From friends I’ve spoken to who have holidayed in Tunisia o think there are bigger better and more upmarket resorts. I can’t fault the hotel. Don’t ecepeft I will return to Hammamet , but I’m glad I’ve been
