Magic Life Penelope Beach Hotel 4*
A hotel worthy of applause. Such a high-quality 4ku still needs to be looked for. We can say that this hotel can claim to be 5*. The staff captivates with their friendliness and professionalism. Almost everyone speaks French and German. Very few speak English. However, even without knowing the language you speak, they will try to understand you. The hotel is very well maintained and clean. Around the green area. There are rooms in the main building and bungalows. The rooms are very clean with a balcony. Remove quality. 2 times they made flower decorations on the bed. On the Ground floor (here it is considered as in Europe - Ground floor, 1st and 2nd floor) is quite noisy, it is better to take rooms higher. Another tip is to take a bar of soap with you (you can really buy it in the city), since there is only liquid soap here. It takes 3 minutes to walk from the main building to the sea. The sea is not very calm. There were waves for almost 2 weeks. There is algae, but there are not many of them and they are more like cut grass. The beach of the hotel is constantly cleaned from algae and debris. The sand is clean - white-golden color. We walked along almost the entire coast - Magic Beach looks the best. In the All inclusive program. all entertainment without a motor is included: catamarans, surfing, banana, skiing. The hotel has several pools. All of them are designed for a specific purpose. 2 active - for water aerobics, water polo and just swimming. 1 for relaxing in peace and quiet, 1 with very warm water, 1 for very young children, 1 with slides for families. By the way, children are constantly engaged and paid attention to them. Although most brochures say that this hotel is for families with children, but couples in love or the elderly do not interfere with children at all, because they are always busy with something. The food is very tasty and plentiful. In addition to breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are also snacks, sandwiches, etc. The hotel has 4 restaurants: 1 - buffet (every day in this restaurant for dinner some specific theme - Italy, Thailand, Hawaii....). 2 Mediterranean restaurants - very tasty and very high quality service. 3 Thai restaurants - snacks are brought to try everything on small plates, you choose the main dish from the menu (the lamb is served in a very interesting jug), desserts are also brought all at once. 4 restaurant - cuisine of Thailand. All appetizers are also tasted at once, you choose the main course and dessert yourself. In themed restaurants, you need to sign up with the girls in blue T-shirts near the reception.
The hotel has a variety of activities: several types of aerobics, water sports, tennis and table tennis, archery, darts and much more. You need to bring your running shoes.

For the evening, you need to take a sweater with you (such as we wear in autumn - thin, but warm). The evenings are quite cool, especially if you dine on the terrace or go to watch shows or movies.
The spa center is small. Hamam (dry Turkish bath) and sauna for free, other pleasures for money. Back massage costs 50 dinars. The exchange rate is 1 dollar - 1.8 dinars. Pedicure - 45 dinars.
The desert tour was very enjoyable. It was not hot - in the heat we were either in an air-conditioned bus or in a jeep. On the tour you can buy dates - very tasty and cheaper than on Djerba. The hotel in which they spend the night is 4 stars, but barely pulls on 3ku. You can survive one night, but stuffy. There are many positive emotions from the tour: sunset and dawn in the desert, camel rides, waterfalls, mirages, oases, extreme jeeps, etc.
Excursion to the pirates was far from the best. Organization on the ship itself is very poor. Some dirty and annoying pirates. The toilets on the ship are dirty. The island is so-so. The only reason you can go there is for the calm blue and shallow sea. Catering and entertainment is spontaneous. The beach is deserted and covered with incomprehensible grass, algae and excrement of seagulls. Umbrellas are paid. The tour is not worth the time or money.
Now about the cities near the hotel:
Hum Suk - a big city - 2 times a week a bazaar - a madhouse. You can go to the market once. The main thing is not to succumb to their prices. It is better to first go to a supermarket with fixed prices in advance and look at these same prices. In the bazaar, the price can be increased by 5 times. It is better to take a walk for the first time and ask the price. Don't buy anything right away. Better to come back. The road to this city will cost 6 dinars one way for 1 car. Taxi is easy to catch. They charge 400 millimeters for landing. In general, it turns out not at all expensive. It is most profitable to buy olive oil in the GENERAL store - all the locals know it.
Medun is the 2nd city. Quiet and calm.

A call to Russia on a landline costs 1 dinar - about 2 minutes, on a mobile phone - 1 minute. It is better to call from the phone on the way to the beach - on the left.
