- Toddler
- Kid

A polished, popular four-star right at the heart of Port El Kantaoui, a two-minute walk from the marina and its car-free lanes. Families come back for the friendly service, the tidy pools and a good private beach, all wrapped in the easy all-inclusive value Tunisia does so well. It is close enough to the Aqua Palace water park and the marina that you never run short of things to do with the kids.
Our verdict
The best-located family four-star in Kantaoui, ideal if you want the marina on your doorstep. Add a day at the nearby water park for slides.
The rooms
Bright rooms and family rooms in a well-run four-star, many with sea or garden views and a balcony. Family rooms take two adults and two children comfortably, and the overall standard is a notch above the budget resorts nearby.
