We just got back from Djerba and can really recommend both this lovely, small boutique-style hotel and the island. The hotel is situated right on the sea front, so you'll have beautiful views of the sea from you balcony and will be able to go for a swim at any time of the day or night. The hotel has very friendly staff, who are always willing to help and give you the best service. This hotel has a very homey feel, due to it's small size (it only has 17 rooms) and this is great when you want an alternative to the big, more impersonal hotel chains that dot the coast-line. The hotel owner speaks excellent English, French and German so no problem with communication and telling him exactly what you're after. Definitely ask the owner to pick you up from the airport, it's the easiest way to reach the hotel and a lot more interesting that a taxi cab. You'll find the food in the hotel very authentic and tasty and the fresh orange juice is delicious. There's also a supermarket around the corner if you need anything extra or if you've left behind the suncream.

As for the island, it's a great place to go when you just need to get a bit of piece and quiet and some sun and sea.

Our group of fourteen arrived at the Flamingo Beach with little more than an hours notice and were welcomed by the friendliest Hotel staff I've encountered in Tunisia so far. Living here and entertaining guests from the States has proven a good opportunity to evaluate some of the hotels around, and this one is the beats all others in this country.

The lead staff is very helpful and fluent in English, as well as most other European languages. Perhaps most notable is the American education of the proprietor, which manifests itself in the cleanliness of the hotel and the professionalism of the whole staff.

Furthermore, the rates for this hotel are truly remarkable. Even in the high season, this hotel charges significantly less than the resorts it sits between despite it being quite literally on the water. You'd have to walk twice the distance from your suite in the neighboring Radisson resort, while at the Flamingo Beach you can enjoy your breakfast out the second story windows that overlook the beautiful Mediterranean.

This is a wonderful small boutique-style hotel facing the beach on the island of Djerba in Tunisia. It is a great alternative to the big chains. Owned and managed by a local couple, the hotel offers personal service in an intimate setting. Wonderful meals prepared by master chef highlight the experience. Rooms are clean and comfortable at a moderate price. We stumbled on the Flamingo Beach and were delighted with such a lucky find. Our room had a view of the sea from a lovely terrace. We stayed 5 days and hated to leave. This place is a gem!
