A friendly, good-value all-inclusive on the Sousse Corniche, right on the long Boujaffar beach and within an easy walk of cafes, shops and the town train. It trades the manicured feel of the Kantaoui resorts for a genuine town-beach location, which parents love when they want the option to wander out for an ice cream or a look at the Medina without booking a taxi. Simple, sociable and easy on the budget.
Our verdict
The pick for families who want a beach base with the town on foot rather than a resort bubble. Great value, if you do not need slides on site.
The rooms
Comfortable rooms and family rooms on the Sousse seafront, many with a balcony and sea view. Family rooms sleep four, and the location means you can be on the beach or in a town cafe within minutes of stepping out.
