Hotel Concorde Marco Polo 4 * (Tunisia, Yasmine Hammamet).
Rested in this hotel from 04 to 15 July 2017
Transfer.
We landed at the airport of Monastir, it takes about 1.5 hours to get to the hotel in Yasmine Hammammet from this city. Representatives of the tour meet at the airport. operator, show the way to the buses
In general, the road is not tiring, you can see olive plantations, and on power line poles along the road there are large nests with storks, beauty)
Hotel.
The hotel is located on the first beach line, has 1 large snow-white building in the shape of a horseshoe. In the center of the reception, to the sides of it, the left and right wings diverge, which go around the inner territory of the hotel. Each wing has several exits towards the pool, there are elevators.
In the center there is a large swimming pool, a recreation and sunbathing area, a bar in the center of the pool.
In the evening, in the same place, between the exit from the building and not reaching the pool, there is an evening animation zone.
Rooms (rooms) are pleasant, clean, tiles on the floor, bedside rugs by the bed. There is a TV in the room, bedside tables, a refrigerator (the minibar is not filled, empty), a coffee table, a chair, a large mirror, a luggage shelf next to it, a wardrobe, plus there are shelves in the table on which the TV is standing, extra pillows and blankets. The safe is free, locked either with a combination lock or with a key (it is found in different rooms in different ways). Air conditioning and some rooms have a fan above the bed.
The bathroom has a hairdryer. Bathroom (in some rooms it was short, in others it was ordinary, hot water flowed as soon as you turn it on). The pressure is good, the water did not stagnate, the plumbing is white and clean. 1 large towel per person, one small. And plus 1 under the feet. From the funds put only a piece of soap, pour liquid soap. All (! ). Therefore, take shampoos, balms and other things with you. There are also no shower caps.
The balconies are spacious, there are 2 chairs and a table.
The sockets in the room are the same as in Russia, no adapter is needed.
There are no tea facilities in the room. The teapot too.
Cleaning is more or less tolerable (it was in Hammamet in 2014, there is something to compare directly with), swans are rotated periodically. You can leave 1 dinar for tea for cleaners, this is normal. But even if you don't leave them, they normally clean anyway. Valuable things were left and just in the room (cameras, cameras. . ). Nothing was missing.
Please note that they do not have a service for the delivery of drinking water to the rooms. And that's reasonable for such a big hotel. Everything is arranged so when you need water, you go to the bar (in the hotel lobby or by the pool) and say that you need water, 1.5 liters, where the bartenders already understand and answer in Russian, they immediately give it to you. And that's it. If necessary, repeat as they say. There is no limit of 1 bottle per person per day. Take as much as you need.
The hotel has free Wi-Fi.
It catches in the central lobby of the hotel and in some nearby rooms and at the animation point. In the evening, there are multiple connections to the router, so not everyone gets a connection. Sometimes it breaks, they fix it. .
At the reception they change the currency. In Tunisia, almost everywhere there is one exchange rate, so you can safely change money at the hotel. It is better not by much, but by necessity, since paper banknotes cannot be exported. You will be asked to exchange them back (they say that this is done only at the airport and they take 30% of the amount, but they offered me to exchange them at the reception at the check-out).
The staff at the reception is friendly, there is a Russian-speaking girl and a guy. There were no communication problems. If something is broken and there is a question come quickly.
The animation team always works, from morning until late at night, in the morning they call for yoga and exercises, to play water polo, volleyball, people threw some metal balls for accuracy, shot from a bow, chose all sorts of Mr. Hotel, in general, constant movement . In the evening after dinner, children's animation, then everyone takes tables, there are evening shows, contests, singers sing
The hotel itself is generally pleasant, clean, pleasant territory (the owners are Germans, as I understand it, this affects).
The audience is very diverse, there were many locals who vacationed with large families, and other Muslim guests from neighboring countries, mostly with children and mothers. . They did not strain at all, even when bathed in clothes. They walk smiling)) The atmosphere is very friendly. At the animation, when it's karaoke day, everyone sings songs in different languages. There are also many Europeans, including French speakers (which is logical, in Tunisia it is the 2nd language, everyone understands them there).
The only negative for those who are used to going to bed early or want to get some sleep before getting up early for an excursion is that the animation is loud, takes place in the center of the horseshoe of the body, resonates so that in the room it seems that the animation takes place in it, and not on the street. Especially for those who have windows to the courtyard. And it goes on until 24 hours. Well, for those who have balconies in the opposite direction, neighboring hotels help not to sleep)) So stock up on earplugs.
Nutrition.
According to the All-inclusive system, varied, delicious food. For some reason, there was no abundance of seafood, but there was always fish, meat, chicken. At the beginning of the shift at dinner (and their dinner is divided into 2 shifts, from 18:30 to 20:00 (they close at eight in the evening, who did not have time, wait for half an hour). And then 20:30 and until 22:00). So, at the beginning of the shift (I was in July, the peak of the season), there was a full house in the direction of the meat rows. But in the end, everyone gets their portion, there were no hungry people.
In addition, they bake pizzas, separately make pasta in Italian, with dressings.
There are a lot of vegetables, fruits, ice cream in the stalls, you can come and impose yourself (several types are always).
There are also taps for drinks (you pour yourself, glasses are nearby, all glasses and glasses are glass): beer, mineral water, white, red and rose wine. Well, some juices like yuppies, I tried it once and didn’t drink them anymore.
At breakfast there are cereals, fill the balls with milk (warmed, warm and cold). They make eggs, omelettes, cheese, sausage (not tasty), tomatoes (very tasty), olives, buns. Coffee (in a coffee pot) and a cup will be brought to you at your table, just say you want coffee.
Tea stands on a large table (a vat of boiling water) bags, sugar, everything is there.
There is also A la carte, all-inclusive guests are invited to eat there once for free.
Also note (she found out about it in the second half of the holiday) lunch is served in 2 places. In the main restaurant (where breakfast, dinner), as well as left the beach - immediately to the left.
There is a canopy, tables outside and indoors.
In my opinion, the main restaurant is cleaner, there are tablecloths, in the additional one there are just tables. But in general, everything is fine there too. Outside in the shade it's great. And very close to the beach/pool
Also, if you leave somewhere early before breakfast (for an excursion or early departure in general) in the Samarkand restaurant (it is not far from the reception, not reaching the entrance to the main restaurant to the right), early breakfasts are served (until 07:30) (buns, cheese , sausage, cereal, milk, fruits, jams, tea, coffee (automatic coffee machine. Only sometimes it's dark, the lights are off. But everything is covered! )
Lunch boxes are not prepared on excursions, they offer to eat here (well, or take something with you from there, make sandwiches, take an apple. .
Beach.
The hotel has its own recreation area on the beach, the first line, no roads. The sand is fine, light (almost white), sun loungers, mattresses in sufficient quantities even in the peak season.
Because a lot of people hang out by the pool.
Entry into the water is pleasant, algae come across in the water, but not much, they did not strain. The water is crystal clear and clean.
What people in the reviews call camel poop is dried and matted algae. There are no poop on the beach. Only the people themselves sometimes smoke and then the bull in the sand. . Even though there is a trash can nearby. . This is without comment. . The entry into the sea is pleasant, without sharp depths and holes, a lot of people with kids, comfortable.
Of course, it would be ideal if the beach was cleaned from large matted algae, it would look like in the Maldives.
There is no service on the beach (no bar). Take some water with you from the hotel. This, in my personal opinion, ensures the cleanliness of the beach (glasses do not roll) and not so large crowds of people.
There were no jellyfish when I was.
Souvenirs.
Not far from the hotel there is a store with fixed prices JOYS (as you left the hotel to the left, to the ring, go on the left side (where the restaurant is) of the road and walk straight a little more, you will see a sign on the opposite side, cross the road.
There are painted plates, spices, oil, all kinds of rags, pareos and so on, dates, magnets. .
If you take excursions, choose souvenirs in the city of Tunis (the capital) or other remote places (guides will tell you), it is cheaper there, because the Yasmine Hammamet resort area does not imply minimum prices. If you go to Medina (fortress-market), bargain, they wind up Pts. a lot (it's easier to buy in Joyce, the prices there are adequate).
Excursions, walks
Tour. the operator will offer you excursions, tell you everything in detail, the prices are quite adequate, there are no agencies nearby on the street. I chose the Sahara (2 days $114 for an adult), Cape Bon (north of the country) -$40, and Carthage / Sidi Bou Said / Tunisia -$40.
I went with SanMar (they are also Coral Travel, 2 in 1).
All excursions are very rich, interesting, the guides speak Russian. Meals are included, drinks are not (take more water with you, leave it right on the bus, but always have it). An airplane pillow will also come in handy, you will be able to sleep on the road between stops.
I will post a few photos so that you understand that Tunisia is very interesting and diverse, not limited to the sea and hotel holidays. Everything I chose excursions - I really liked
The only depressing thing is the abundance of garbage along the roads, like blue shoe covers (they have blue bags there for some reason, they stand out brightly right away. . You can see them everywhere), bottles. . They themselves know this jamb behind themselves, they say that before the revolution it was better, but I doubt something. .
Do not take a sightseeing tour of Hammamet, the guys who went were all dissatisfied, only you will lose a day and the guides are strange at SanMar / Coral on this excursion.
You can also go to see the Marina with many yachts, ships, it is right next to the hotel
You can safely leave the hotel, take a walk, the street is calm. Comfortable, no one is missing by the hand and they are not dragged into the shops. You, of course, will be invited to see the goods or eat at their restaurant, but they behave without frills, quite adequately
There are horse carriages near the hotel. Haggle (! ), cab drivers call prices initially high
If I forgot something, ask, I will write, I will answer))
Have a nice holiday!
