I stayed at the averroes from 11th - 25 may, Iwas on all inclusive and was very impressed by the range of food on offer. The room was immaculate, and also had a sea view which was a pleasant surprise. The animation team were great, they tried to get every one involved in games in the daytime and did a show in the evening.

It was situated on the beach, unlike at lot of the hotels in Yasmine.
The only thing I did not like was the hassle you got once you set foot outside the hotel from guys trying to get you into there shops if they left you alone you would probably go in have a look.

This was my first trip to tunisia and will not be my last, the only thing that spoilt the holiday for me was a 10 hour delay at the end of the trip.

just come back had a fantastic holiday very clean nice friendly staff been to tunisia 6 times but this was the best hotel and the all inclusive was fantastic, the plus thing to this hotel is you have a english manager hich is great she is a lovely friendly lady and does everything possible to make your stay good, down points the only one i found was Yasmin where it is situated has been designed for tourists only if you want to see the real tunisia this isnt for you but over all 10 out of 10 and im booking up to go back again next year infact 23 of us are going back next year, just rememebr i have been 6 times to tunisia and this was the best hotel so that tells you something thankyou and have a great time if you ever go if you dont you should bye

We went to Iberoestar Averroes on 27th April for one week We have been to Tunisia and thought we knew what to expect. We were in for a great surprise On arrival at the Hotel we were met by the manager and given a cool drink while we filled in our registration cards. The reception area is bright and airy, all marble. We were staying on an all inclusive basis

Rooms- The rooms are large and very clean, there is air conditioning, hair drier and TV. The bathroom has a bath, shower and wash basin, the toilet is seperate with a bidet. The beds were a little on the hard side for me. Towels are changed daily.

POOL- The pool is large and has a lazy river and jacuze it also has a swim up bar. The sun loungers are plentiful and you are supplied with an extra mat to put on top. Beach towels are also supllied and are changed daily. The pool is right next to the beach. Oh and the pool is also freezing at this time of year.

Beach- The beach is a little disapointing by Tunisian standards and we didn't spend much time there. There is the usual para-gliding jet skis bannana boat etc available

Bars- There is basically one bar available in the hotel and can get very busy and it can be hard to find a seat . The drink is the local alcohol and is ok, the trick is to order whatever you are drinking on the rocks and split it before adding you're mixer, as they tend to serve large measures. There is also a bar in the entertainment area but that is only open while the entertainment is on. There is also a pool bar with waiter service.

Entertainment- THE entertainment is basic stuff mostly dancing. Done by the animation team. They are very friendly and are great entertainment during the day at the pool.

Meals- The breakfast was ok but after a few days of eating eggs it was hard to findsomething.That aside the lunch's and evening meals were superb, as good a selection anywhere we've been on a buffet style, no complaints what so ever. You also get the choice of one Al e Carte Italian, Mexican, Meditterainian and one other, can't remember. We chose the Italian and it was very disappointing a five course set meal which had little resemblance to an Itaian. You also had to pay extra for the wines though this was very cheap, about £7 a bottle.

Staff- Are very friendly and always trying to help, a tip goes a long way.

Yasmine Hammamet- Was a delightful surprise. Very clean and modern new shops and Hotels. A great Promonade and a Marina. Good for a walk and hassle free. There is a new Madina, which is not very large but you can walk about without too much hassle

Overall- This is a great four star hotel value for money and the area is great we will definately go back.

We decided that we would like to try and capture some early summer sun and decided that we had a good chance of good weather in Tunisia.
I'm glad that we did as we all had a fantastic time!
My wife & I have a 13 month old daughter so were not keen on spending hours on a plane, so a 3 hour flight time fitted the bill.
We selected the Yasmine Hammamet region as the hotels are part of a tourist area along the seafront, very easy to leave your resort and wander along the coastline upto the marina passing shops, bars, cafes, banks etc along the way.
We chose the Averroes hotel for 2 reasons :
- junior suite gives you that vital extra space to put a cot without walking into it at all times
- direct access to the sea - other hotels are across the road.
We did see standard double rooms, so if you do need a cot it will fit, just a slight squash but not bad at all.
Our room was nice, clean, tidy all that you'd expect also lucky our seaview benefited from the afternoon sun, others are in the shade.
The view was fantastic, nothing between ourselves and the sea just what the doctor ordered.

Now to the good bits!
Service - irrespective if you're halfboard or all inclusive give the staff tips! a couple of dinar here and there will make your holiday so much better! We were all inclusive so no need to pay for anything but wasn't going to risk spoiling my own holiday over a few euros/pounds here and there.
All said and done the staff are pretty attentive & friendly. They will do what they can to help at all times, for example everyday we'd walk into the restaurant to find our table with highchair ready and waiting.

Food - this was my biggest concern, I'd read other reports on tripadvisor of food being cold or faintly warm. In our hotel this was only true of the chips!
Being a buffet you could serve yourselves from the heated steam bath counters but we would definately reccommend the 2 or 3 dish of the day courses which are freshly prepared and delicious.
For the kids out there they also have a pizza oven which is in use most days too.
For breakfast you can pretty much get everything you want - I became quite partial to the freshly made pancakes with honey - didn't bother asking for lemon & sugar!
Even the all inclusive wines were drinkeable, normally tasting these pushes you to buy your own bottle. We did buy wine for the room for some evenings but at 16 dinar, 9 euros, 6 pounds it's not exactly bank breaking!

Because we went in April, we did encounter some fairly strong winds on arrival, but temperature was already > 20 degrees when it died down, on the best of days temperature was hitting the 30 degree mark, so perfect for us.
Also resort wasn't completely full so plenty of space for our daughter to toddle around

The only downside of going in April is the water temperature.
The outdoor pools and sea are not warm enough to swim in....a few brave souls did give it a go towards the end of our stay as the sun started to beat down though!
There is an indoor pool which you can use though which is heated.

The hotel has been around for a few years and you can see a bit of wear and tear, but I found the the staff responded very well and quickly to fix any problems.
Speaking to fellow guests who had ventured out to view the area, we all agreed that the Averroes was one of the better hotels in the area.

After having such a good holiday my wife and I agreed we would go back but believe May would be a better time or at the end of the seaon in September/October when the water is lovely and warm

I hope this helps you make your choice!
