Review of your stay at the Royal Garden Palace (ex Palace Royal Garden) 5 * hotel in Tunisia on the island of Djerba from 19.10. 2018 to 30.10. 2018
For the first time in history, I and my 22-year-old grandson arrived at the airport on the island of Djerba on a direct flight from Minsk in the morning, after a 3.5-hour flight. The hotel for 280 people is well-groomed, the interior is rich, the staff is friendly, vacationers are aged (not a party hotel), mostly French, Germans, English, few Russian speakers. Conversation in French, his attendants know and understand.
The building is 3-4 storey with an elevator only in the central part. Russian-speakers are accommodated mainly in 3-storey wings without an elevator. The rooms are large, clean, well furnished, with a balcony.
The rooms have a hair dryer, a bathrobe, slippers, 3 towels each, a shaving machine with cream, shampoo, a toothbrush with paste, shoe products, but there was no shoe spatula. The room was cleaned daily by a friendly man.

Meals "all inclusive" varied, sufficient, of good quality, mainly European cuisine, never had heartburn, there was a kosher and dietary menu. Fruits are monotonous every day, tangerines never appeared in our hotel.
The sea is far shallow, it's good in calm, but in October there are winds, a big wave. Locals say that autumn came early this year and the winds raised a big wave that threw out a lot of algae, it was difficult to swim in muddy water from algae and sand. This overshadowed our rest, but we swam in the sea all the days, except for two, when the elements raged. The wind was up to 40 ms, the sunbeds were removed from the beach, because the wave reached the buildings and they would have been blown into the sea. Took out tons of algae, but everything was quickly put in order. It should be noted the well-coordinated work of the staff. These 2 days we swam in a large outdoor pool near the bar.
Annimation - music mainly in French, (only one singer performed the Russian song from the repertoire of Tender May).
In the evening it is warm, pleasant atmosphere, beautiful music and good wine (which the waiters always bring to the tables on the street), friendly audience, dancing - complete relaxation sets in. Now about the spa at the hotel. The purpose of the trip to Tunisia was the desire to receive additional treatment for myself and my grandson. The hotel has a fresh water pool, algae and mud treatments, a sauna, a shower, very good masseurs. Prices are lower than with spa centers.
But thalassotherapy is a complex of spa treatments based on a visit to the pool with “bubbling” heated sea water with algae, sea mud and silt treatments. The hotel did not have a pool with sea water. I had to travel and look for a SPA Center in other hotels.
I stopped at the Bio-Spa center based on the Cesar Thalasso SPA hotel, 4 * which is a 2-minute drive.

The price was higher than in our hotel. Massages, epilations and cosmetic procedures were offered as separate procedures, everything else was offered in courses of 3 to 6 days or in packages. The cost of the complexes, depending on the purpose, is from 520 to 1060 dinars (1S = 2.8 dinars). Packages of diverse massages - 6 pieces, costing from 340 to 605 dinars. At the same time, a pool with hydrotherapy (4 pcs) was a gift.
Appointments are made by a doctor, his name is Fedi (Fedya), he graduated from the medical institute in Russia and speaks Russian. After the conversation, he offered us for the treatment the most selected, for our diseases, individual complexes for 6 days and at the same time agreed to reduce the price, for which we are grateful to him. The equipment in the center is modern, the couches on which wraps are made are automated. Only the underwear left an unpleasant impression; the bathrobes are not white, the towels had an unpleasant smell and were washed out.
They explained this by the fact that there are many visitors and a high turnover. It should be noted the professional work of the massage therapist Mario (who performed a special back massage for my grandson and the masseuse Latifa (who skillfully did both classic and specific massages and lymphatic drainage for me) A pleasant surprise was that the taxi ride there and back was organized by the Spa and provided for free.
In general, the treatment was successful, for which thanks to all the friendly staff!!!! ! .
We recommend visiting the crocodile farm on your own on the day of feeding, it is nearby (travel 2 dinars one way, entrance ticket 20 dinars), 2-3 hours are enough.
We bought gifts at a carrefour market in the nearest town of Midoun (travel 4 dinars one way)

Holidays at the Royal Garden Palace (ex Palace Royal Garden) 5 * hotel are well organized, with the exception of those issues mentioned above.
