It is nice to walk around the marina and we felt safe and welcome. The town is more modern than old Hammamet and probably less appealing to people interested in architecture/ history. Shopkeepers vied for your business as you expect but were respectful.

Yasmin is in "New Hammamet" and is built up and full of hotels catering to the 'average tourist". I found it a bit like Disneyland. The large souk is interesting (and fake) and prices were better in the old medina in old Hammamet and also in Nabeul. The main reason to go to Yasmin aside from the modern stores, is the nearby outstanding Barberousse Beach Club restaurant.

Stayed at houda yasmine. Very clean hotel and everyone was very hospitable. The animation team were fantastic and get everyone involved in activities especially Kaloutcha, a true gentleman. Ate most days at their restaurant, a large variety of world foods. Booked excursions at the hotel, went on a all round trip including Sahara desert which involved overnight stay. And booked quad bikes & camel rides there. Was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to come back to see my dear friends Kaloutcha, Karim, Pika & Slim ( the animation team).

Yasmine Hammamet is a area which is all based around hotels. Not much to do, but so relaxing a beautiful beach, riding camels are on offer. The marina is so beautiful during the evening/ day also so beautiful. There is areas where it’s not very clean

The jasmine medina is in New Hammamet and was in walking distance of our hotel. It has a grand entrance some interesting shops and some great photo opportunities. The shop keepers and restaurant owners do try and encourage tourists into their shops but they are not aggressive ( unlike experiences I have had in Egypt and Morroco) and a firm no thanks is sufficient. There is a scam where locals pretend they work at your hotel, but we took some sports wrist bands to cover our bands and were never approached. One shop we did venture into was the Le Secret de Parfums in the medina. As the name suggests its a perfume shop selling well known brand names at a fraction of their retail price as well as some local Arabic perfumes. The lady who runs the shop was Worovo, and a more pleasant and helpful person you could not ask to find. Fluent in English, French and Arabic, she let my wife try umpteen types of perfume and when she finally decided to buy some, then allows you to choose your style of bottle. The whole experience was full of laughter and fun, and very reasonably priced. If you are in the Medina at any time at all, do pay this shop a visit.

It is a little city with a beach. They have a nice beach promenade and a broad beach. There are free sections and sections where you have to pay. On the other side of the promenade, there are several shops, where you can buy souvniers or beach things. Nearby, there is also a nice Marina. Inside the city, there is the Medina, a big shopping center and Carthageland, a big leisure park.

A destination if you want to spend more time in a hotel than going out to explore the location. Not huge amounts to do, it’s surprising just how many hotels are here but no a great deal to do. If walking around, be prepared to be pestered by shop employees trying to get you to visit their shop. Sometimes a simple no doesn’t work and we found just continuing to walk past made it easier to not be drawn into conversations. They love to try and draw you in using sale tactics such as ‘I’m the cook at your hotel and it’s my day off’ to engage in a conversation and then try and get you in a shop. Black Friday sales were on everyday, so don’t believe that they are putting on a once only flash sale. For someone who enjoys looking around shops on holiday, this actually put me off wanting to go out and look at shops and found myself trying to cross the road in order not to be bothered. The beaches are mostly sectioned by hotel owned beaches, so this was good that you knew you could always get a space from your hotel and a sunbed which didn’t need to be paid for. The beaches are generally clean and the water on a calm sea day can be clear in parts. Not the clear water sea that I was hoping for though. Be prepared to be approached by people selling things on the beach. The use of animals such as turtles and chameleons are used to draw you in. If you take anything from them or have pictures, be prepared to pay some money towards it. Horse and carriages/carts are used to take tourists to different locations along the sea front and by Carthage land. So most of the time there is a strong smell of urine around those areas. For me, I just felt sorry for the horses as I didn’t see them get fed and watered once. People follow no real rules when driving, so make sure you look when crossing the road. Taxis can be found quite easily at the large roundabout, I would recommend asking how much to a destination before getting in so you know how much they are likely to charge you. If you smoke, best to buy cigarettes on your plane journey over, unless you don’t mind smoking fake cigarettes. Lots of shops will try and sell you cartons and always more than one at a time. Most of these are no good.
