3 sisters see LOTS of dolphins

Enjoyed the cruise with my 2 sisters (all senior citizens). Captain Smitty and our cruise director (didn’t get his name 😞) were excellent. Even though we didn’t use the food/drink service the bar tender did an excellent job serving the other guests. We saw many dolphins and were entertained by the crew the entire trip. Highly recommend. Our trip was on Aug 19 at 3:30 PM

Good dolphin viewing experience

Price for this cruise was reasonable, they offer drinks and snacks during the cruise at pretty reasonable prices and they don’t push them terribly. The crew works to ensure you get good dolphin sightings. They offer cooling towels for little ones to use if they get hot. The only thing I’m docking a point for is that they require gratuity when you book. I would have been more inclined to leave a bigger tip at the end of the trip.

Wonder experience definitely worth the money!!

Was such a great crew and Captain!! Very patient with all my great grand kids he and his crew answered them with patience!! It’s a smaller boat but so personable I would definitely recommend them any day of the week and if I ever come back, I’d go again you can’t go wrong with this captain and his crew❤️❤️❤️

Very good stay

Family stay at the beginning of July, a very good stay which nevertheless started badly with a flight cancellation but was arranged with the tour operator. We are grandparents and for 30 years we have been staying in club hotels twice a year (in different countries) - but for Hammamet it is the 6th time, though we are discovering this club - lots of very well-maintained vegetation - very good welcome, room well laid out and clean Maybe a little old-fashioned but decent, room staff top-notch and very professional - Entertainment good and very nice - pool perfect, a very pleasant person brings you your lounge chairs - hotel with very good services 24 hours a day, some servers very nice, others less so... meals decent, I always found something to eat - rare in a club hotel, many ripe fruits - at noon, beach restaurant but a permanent building with AC and meals, dishes presented as they should be on a heated or refrigerated counter plus the pizza, wok, grill, and fish corner on request with two very nice people, and at the pool, paninis for people wanting to stay on site - Beach, first time I see this shading, large wooden lounge chairs and beach staff serious in their surveillance work, in the evening, bar in a shaded area with some servers top-notch, others a little less so but we let it go - the manager present from morning to evening and very available- In view of some comments, I think it is not the same hotel and there may be a flaw somewhere, nobody is perfect - We have experienced inconveniences in our years of staying in club hotels, some have pluses, but here for us everything was there, a successful vacation Especially thank you to all the staff, gardener - chambermaid - bellhop - servers and pool or beach managers - plus all the staff in the shadows and also the entertainers - grandma and grandpa -

We only saw 1 dolphin,...

We only saw 1 dolphin, which did not jump out of the water. Two very disappointed children. Although, the staff and captain were wonderful!
