Marhaba Royal Salem

Families give the Marhaba Royal Salem a huge thumbs up, and it’s easy to see why. This beachfront resort gives you direct access to the golden sands of Sousse, and packs in loads of activities and entertainment.

Lots of the action revolves around the pool – a massive, lake-like number with a replica castle and waterslides. Little ones have a shallow paddling pool to splash in, as well, while adults can enjoy some R&R on the surrounding loungers. For some serious ooh and aah moments, head for the spa, where there’s a sauna, steam room and lengthy menu of body treatments.

The sports selection at this hotel is really impressive. Basketball, archery, mini-golf and volleyball are just a few of the things you can get involved in when you’re not lounging waterside. And if adults-only time is on the cards, children can make friends at the hotel kids’ club, which hosts games, role-play and arts and crafts daily.

Elsewhere, you’ve got five bars to sip cocktails in, plus a poolside stage for lively evening entertainment. The hotel restaurant lays on big buffet spreads featuring cuisines from world-over, and the eateries of Sousse and Port El Kantaoui are a short drive away if you fancy a night out. And when you head back to your room, centrally regulated air conditioning is on hand to keep you cool from mid June to mid September.
