The standout modern family resort in Port El Kantaoui, a big seafront Iberostar with a proper water park, a genuinely fun Star Camp kids club and one of the best pool complexes on this coast. It hits the sweet spot Tunisia is famous for: five-star-feeling facilities and food at a price that undercuts the same holiday almost anywhere in Europe. If you want slides, a busy kids programme and an easy all-inclusive week, start here.
