bungalow - 3 rooms - 1/5 persons

This is the 4th time I have stayed here.

I have recommended this to friends who have stayed and enjoyed their holiday.

The owner is a lovely man, very helpful, his staff at hand if you have any queries too f he is not available.

In a quiet off road position, secure and secluded. It feels very safe.

5 minute walk to beach, restaurant 1 min from your room olivio which is lovely and recently refurbished.

Looking at going back in October and will continue next year too.

The Bungalow

It was in general a fantastic stay, pick-up driver/chauffeur service (offered/to be requested with fair charge) was excellent and well organised. I even asked to stopped to the shops before getting into the villa. It was clean, with basic things you need in self-catering, lots of rooms, good plenty of space. Utilities like gas and electric included (electric powered by solar panels which is great for environment). It's better if you tidy up yourself :o) Wifi was acceptably good, there is reception, restaurant as you go into the complex which makes it very secure. It seems like each building is separate so you have good privacy from next doors occupants. Very friendly and the owner, Ben Moncef Aribia really genuinely cares for his customers. Good food at the restaurant enough choices on menu for normal stuff. Good to excellent price for the accommodation. You can leave the bathroom window open, if need be/as necessary, as it has a metal grill for security that no one can come in.

Tips: - go to shops get your basic food needs for self catering like bread, snacks, bottled water, AND toilet paper, as well as sponge and a cloth, and washing up liquid (also little laundry powder or liquid) for kitchen cleaning purposes - OR bring washing necessity stuff with you before you travel to avoid buying big amount that you end up wasting or leaving them

All in all it was excellent secure, safe, clean, and 5mins walk to the beach / beautiful seaside.

We've just returned from our lovely two week honeymoon here at the El Houda Bungalows. Located in a quiet, but convenient area where you feel very safe to walk around - day or at night. The beautiful beach is only 5 minutes away (there is a small path alongside the Miramar Hotel). There are plenty of souvenier shops, and also supermarkets, butchers, fruit & veg shops all just a short stroll away, so you can get all you need if you prefer self-catering. If not, the L'Olive Restaurant - part of the El Houda complex - serves fresh, homemade food in a relaxed garden settings (depending on the season, there may be a restricted menue, but you will always find something for everyone's taste here). There are also plenty of restaurants around if you don't fancy washing up (we can recommend the Marina Perla for its fresh fish and attentive service).

The bungalows are spacious and furnished in traditional Tunisian style. Some might find some of the kitchen utensils a bit basic and dated, but we thought it was fun to get creative and cook with what we had to hand. There are also modern items for your convenience, such as a air-conditioning (hot or cold air) coffee maschine, microwave and flat screen TV. The hot water system is powered by solar power, so nice to see that all is environmental friendly too, so you don't have to feel too guilty enjoying a long hot shower after an 'exhausting' day at the beach. Each bungalow has a patio/terrace which we enjoyed a lot to either have breakfast in the sunshine or dinner by candle light.

We really enjoyed our stay here at the El Houda Bungalows as we had our own private space, but in a secure complex and all the conveniences nearby. The lovely caretaker/chef cook/manager seemed to be around 24/7 and always had a lovely smile on his face and was very helpful and hardworking to make our stay even better.

We would recommend these bungalows to anyone who is looking for simple comforts in a great location, friendly, personal environment and good value for money rather than the often inpersonal luxuries you get in a 5 Star Hotel.

Thank you for being so welcoming and kind. We hope to be back again sometime in the future.

I was a bit apprehensive about staying here as I always stay in hotels in hammamet. I was pleasantly surprised at what a lovely place this was. It was quiet and homely although due to low season the cafeteria was not open but I'm sure it would have been just as lovely as the bungalow. Moncef is a perfect gentleman and really cared about the tenants. The weather got cold so he made sure the heating stayed on all day and at night although it would have been nicer if there was a hearing control as sometimes it got really very cold. It's great place for families or couples. No on interferes or intrudes with your privacy. The cleaner is also a lovely woman. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting comfort and privacy. It is close to shops and cafes as well as the centre of town. The beach is also close by. I regret that I booked the hotel opposite as this bungalow is a much better option. Thank you moncef for making our stay a memory xx
