Was in this hotel recently.
The hotel itself is nice both architecturally and interior.
But here the service is lame on both legs. If you don't put it on, you won't go. Until at least once you give the bartender a couple of dinars for tea, you will be forced to wait for 5-10 minutes for your drink on all inclusive, despite the fact that there are only a few people at the bar who are served without ignoring. At the same time, a few dinars quickly solve this problem.
Settlement also follows the principle "let's settle in such a hut so that we can unfasten money for resettlement. " In general, 10 bucks and I was transferred from the 1st to the 3rd floor to a nice room overlooking the courtyard with the pool...
At the reception, it's pointless to ask for something. They nod, they chirp. They will write down your problem and the room number in a notebook and safely forget about it as soon as you leave.
Room service does not understand the gesture of towels thrown on the floor. Upon your return, you will find them neatly hung in place. They will be replaced for you no earlier than 3 days later.
Another important fact - I bought a ticket there as a 4-star. But a week before my arrival, the commission demoted it to 3 stars (which is not surprising with such a service).
There are almost no Russians in the hotel. 30-40% of holidaymakers in the hotel are Arabs (families).
The hotel is family-run, so if you go by yourself, you will climb the wall out of boredom.

We rested together with my wife and the rest was a success. If you are going to spend all the time in the hotel and on the beach, then this hotel is probably not the best option. Since we spent half the time on excursions, we were very pleased with Tunisia. ROOM - very spacious and comfortable, made in oriental style with a spacious balcony.

We rested together with my wife and the rest was a success. If you are going to spend all the time in the hotel and on the beach, then this hotel is probably not the best option. Since we spent half the time on excursions, we were very pleased with Tunisia.
ROOM - very spacious and comfortable, made in oriental style with a spacious balcony. Was even more than 5 * in Turkey. The air conditioning was a little weak, but since it was cool outside in the evening, it was not needed.
POOL - very large and beautiful. There is also a very small one for children. There is a bar in the pool, but it does not work, but there is a bar right by the pool, you had to climb out of the water.
The SEA is warm and clean, but we saw a couple of jellyfish. The beach is cleaned regularly and there were no problems with sunbeds. The beach bar is open from 10 am to 5-6 pm. After 19-00 there is no one on the beach, although you can be on the beach around the clock.
The animation is weak, only the children were entertained regularly. And for young people it's probably boring, but on the territory of the hotel there is one of the best discos in the city of "Ibiza".
The staff is friendly, smiling and polite. If you do not know French, it will be difficult to communicate with people. They know English poorly, they know separate phrases and words in Russian. Sign language works everywhere and flawlessly.
EXCURSIONS - we recommend two excursions that we have visited.
Carthage: interesting, informative and the local guide speaks good Russian. The tour also includes a visit to the capital of Tunisia and the blue and white city of Sidi Bou Said (Tunisia's visiting card).
Sahara: 2-day excursion with a very rich program. To be honest, without this excursion, our impression of the country would not be so bright. So do not spare money and boldly go to the desert. You will see a well-preserved Roman coliseum, visit the unique city of Matmata, where the indigenous people of the country, the Berbers, live in caves. Spend the sunset on a camel ride and watch the sunrise on a jeep ride. Be sure to take a carriage ride to the oasis for 5 dinars, amazing. Mountain oasis with a waterfall where you can swim. The city of Caravan with the oldest mosque in Africa.
You can also take a ride on a pirate ship with swimming in the open sea. Only if you buy excursions from locals, bargain, they inflate the price several times. And wherever you buy goods at a non-fixed price, feel free to bargain. The initial price can be 10 times higher than the final one. Dollars and euros are taken everywhere, but you can spend more and there is not always change.
We really liked it, we recommend it to everyone and if you have questions, write.

CHOICE OF TUNISIA. The choice of country is determined by three interests: a) Carthage, b) the Sahara c) directly a country that is weakly propagated in comparison with Turkey and Egypt, which are colonized by people from the CIS.

CHOICE OF TUNISIA. The choice of country is determined by three interests: a) Carthage, b) the Sahara c) directly a country that is weakly propagated in comparison with Turkey and Egypt, which are colonized by people from the CIS. Therefore, taking into account these interests and appreciate your vacation.
CARTHAGE. Roman Senator Cato said "Carthage must be destroyed" as if cut off - from the real Carthage, which was the capital of a powerful empire, there are several brick artifacts that did not make any impression compared to expectations. There are ruins of Antonina's baths of the Roman period (although the guide for some reason always called it Anthony's Baths) and the children's cemetery is not clear what century.
TUNISIA-CAPITAL. The program of the tour included delivery to the main street of the capital and a hike in the medina of the city.
The medina of Tunisia made a depressing impression - the dirt and lack of logic in the construction of two-three-story huts did not find my understanding - why take tourists to these slums at all? !!
SIDI-BU-SAID. The main tourist feature of the town is the white and blue painting of almost all houses (I found on the Internet that the city authorities forcibly support this standard). Good location (on a hill above the beautiful bay) in combination with dairy houses with blue windows give the impression of a manly paradise.
SAHARA. The most interesting part of the holiday, the filling of two days of impressions and emotions is so strong that some things you think about long after returning home. I will not describe, because the program is standard for everyone, the only thing that can be worth it if you have partners and the opportunity to travel your own route in a rented jeep.
TUNISIA-COUNTRY.
Quite contrasting - cultivated by the French north (although the guide said all the time that during the colonization they suffered greatly) and underdeveloped in some places the wild rest of the country. Olive oil, dates and tourism are the three whales of semi-socialist Tunisia's economy. The population seems a bit lazy - at any time of the day the local teahouses are full of exclusively male companies, which have measured conversations over a cup of coffee / tea and disrupt the rhythm of life.
HOTEL. Price-quality in the budget segment is the main characteristic of this option. European cuisine with local flavor (couscous has always seemed), there was plenty of meat, fish and fruit, you will not be hungry, but do not expect gourmet pleasure. You can get a better room for an additional fee. The room has everything you need: TV (with Russian channel), refrigerator, hair dryer, safe. Absorbed not particularly persistently, regardless of the dollar left. The animators were not particularly tense.
There is a disco in the hotel. The pool is large and comfortable (+ children's). There is a tennis court. In general, the infrastructure of the hotel may and deserves 4 *, but the service would not get 3 *. 80% of vacationers are Poles, no one will understand you in Russian - you can understand English / German. , perfect in French.

When we were going to go to the hotel, we looked for reviews about it. and, unfortunately, few have been found. So I want to say that it does not pull on 4 stars. Pros: close to the beach, normal rooms, cleaning every day, two swimming pools (one for children), sun loungers and towels for free. Cons: arrogant staff trying to knock you down as much money as possible, annoying animators, outsiders can enter the hotel.

Trip Tunisia, Hammamet, Almaz Hotel ****. When we were offered this hotel in a travel agency, it was very annoying that there were practically no reviews of our (Russian-Ukrainian-speaking) tourists about it.

But still, the price of the tour suited us and the choice from several offered fell on Almaz, in fact, thanks to the photo and the wording "the interior is decorated in Arabic style. " I fulfill my vow to write a review upon arrival to help tourists like me. The trip took place at the beginning of September 2009.
Hotel, room, service, cuisine, animation.
We arrived at the hotel at night, settled immediately, did not pay extra for the room. The room was given on the top 4th floor, overlooking the road and neighboring hotels (see photo). The road parallel to the hotel is not the main one and they practically don’t drive on it, and almost don’t go. The main road to the hotel is perpendicular, the sound from passing cars is audible, but if the balcony doors are closed, there is practically none, although the room to that road is extreme, but not a corner one, there is still some kind of hall and a large balcony on the corner of the 4th floor. The rooms, inside the hotel, overlooking the pool, I won’t say which is better - animation music until 15 pm and at night, and people are constantly hanging out there. We liked the interior of the room (see photo). Large balcony. Large bathroom with full wall mirror. In general, there are enough mirrors in the room, in the bathroom, in the corridor in full growth and at the boudoir table. The bathroom has a hair dryer, hot water all the time, fixtures for the shower, good plumbing, a bathroom with a curtain is not a shower. The toilet is separated from the bathroom by a partition, but there are no doors (this is a minus), one “multifunctional” door closes the entire bathroom and if you turn it in the other direction, it will close the toilet, but then the bath is open. Of the benefits of technical and electrical, except for a hairdryer, TV, air conditioning. The air conditioner is set so that it is not set below 24 - it immediately turns off, the smell from it is not heard in the room, but if you come in from a walk, you feel some kind of slight dampness, they only used it for the first 2 days, then they preferred to ventilate the room on the street, it was especially fresh in the evenings. There are different channels on TV, the Russian-speaking one is ORT. I was embarrassed by the large family bed upon arrival in the room, I was relaxing with a friend. So I realized that there are no “doubles” with separate beds. But when the cover was removed, it turned out that there were two beds, but they were standing side by side and knocked down by a common “wing” at the top. The bedspread was terribly heavy and thrown onto the adjacent sofa in a crumpled form by us, the cleaner did not put it in order, then we understood why - the two of us barely folded it humanly after 2 days. Clean normally, I will make a reservation - I'm not picky. The left peignoir and dressing gown were fanned out on the bed, but alas, they didn’t notice any special frills and decorations on the bed. They handed the dinar to the cleaner, because they read that the left money is not taken. No mosquitoes, ants, cockroaches. I noticed that the corners at the junction of the walls and the floor were very carefully smeared - not a crack, so I think there is “no life” in the rooms, except for ours, of course.
The hotel hall of 4-3 floors is very interesting in the form of balconies in the inner part overlooking the hall and the "reception" of the 1st floor, the inner balconies are decorated with carved wooden frames. 2 elevators. The floors are carpeted, sofas.
The territory of the hotel is not big and not small, well-groomed and beautiful, there are many palm trees, flowers and ornamental plants.
The animation is quite interesting, BUT in English. (In general, you need to go to Tunisia with knowledge of at least one common Western European language (English, German, French - the second official in the country). We, with our German with a dictionary and the same English, felt ignoramuses and at times idiots, well, you understand, they address you in 3 languages, and you smile like a dunce in response and are already ashamed to say "Nicht verstehen". Russian, Ukrainian are not known there. Maybe a little Polish. It was very pleasing that Ukrainian words with German, some words could be snatched out of your speech. . . I took a dictionary in case of emergency, it came in handy. ) Gymnastics, aerobics in the water is quite intense, "water ball". There were some events in the evening, but we didn't go. Tip: do not buy anything from animators (discs, T-shirts) bend at 10 expensive and forget to give change.
Kitchen. Breakfast: puffs of 4 types, but similar in taste, eggs, stewed potatoes or vegetables, plain and chocolate muesli, coffee, tea, milk, drinks.
Lunch: a lot of everything and meat and fish and potatoes and rice and pasta and chicken, different interpretations of stewed vegetables, pizza, omelettes - I liked the most, salads are sliced u200bu200btomatoes, cucumbers, ham, greens, etc. , lentils, sauces. There are a lot of them, but at home from these products it would be tastier, it was somehow tasteless here, or this was my inner feeling at that moment. Although they communicated with others, lovers of delicious food, did not want to eat here. There are a lot of cakes from sweets, some kind of semolina dough, not flour, tastes like our inexpensive cakes. In Egypt, I liked sweet things more. Fruits: melons, watermelons, rare peaches, rare grapes. Drinks eternal Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, local "Juices" I did not like.
Dinner was somewhat like lunch. Rose and red wine was not appreciated. I don’t understand wines, it’s also difficult to judge.
In general, the food at the hotel was not particularly surprising, but not much for gourmets and satisfying.
In the bar, drinks are all the same + beer (in my opinion) is not bad, it went with a bang among tourists. I don’t understand alcoholic beverages well, once I took rum-cola, the traditional taste was forgotten, it seemed to me 10 years ago.
The pool is large, sunbeds are free, but you need to borrow early, it may not be enough, bring your own towels.
The location of the hotel is good, near the Medina (market), a supermarket where you can buy souvenirs, cafes.
To the sea about 5-10 minutes depending on how to go. Sunbeds, umbrellas for free, we took our own towels. The beach bar is chargeable. The beach is one with areas allocated for each hotel. The beach is sandy. Along the sea (10-15 meters) it is cleaned regularly, where the sunbeds are not clean sand, if removed, then not thoroughly. We were unlucky, the first 3 days the sea was crazy dirty - algae, moreover, went far enough along the beach, despite the nets of all the hotels, the water was black. On the 4th day the water was all clear and on the 7th day when we left, the water was just class!! ! I didn't want to go out.
Mosquitoes: didn't see or hear a single one.
Excursions: compared to Egypt, here you will be offered no more than 8 excursions on certain days, of which the most awful Sahara 2 days of those with whom we talked, everyone liked it, they were going themselves, but did not go because of fatigue, an error in the departure time knocked us out out of the rut for 3 days, slept off and rested only by the 4th day. We went to Phrygia (Zoo) and Zulu evening. So nothing - I'm talking about the evening (drums of African dances), I liked the zoo more, but they gave little time for it and there was no guide on the bus to the zoo, it was very inconvenient to drop off the tokens at the gate and forward the meeting in an hour, no one said anything about the zoo told handed out schematics and everything. Zoo: giraffes, seals, buffaloes, camels, ostriches, monkeys, crocodile, elephants, hyenas, lynxes, tigers, wolves, donkeys, goats, rams, gazelles, zebras... They really wanted to see a kangaroo (everything Zadorny remembered, about a jacket with documents that our tourist threw on the shoulders of the kangaroo and that the bag is part of the body of the kangaroo), but they did not see it, only a pointer.
Excursions were taken from the "Nord" guide Inessa, as I understand it, she is the only one from the "Nord" to all the hotels in Hammamet. He comes only to the first meeting with new tourists and that's it. Again, not in favor of Tunisia, we went to Egypt with the Tez tour, the guide was sitting there at the hotel for hours in the morning and evening.
There are no special complaints about the hotel, a good hotel, there will be more of our tourists and the service staff will teach our language, and so far with their knowledge of the language and vocabulary.
From the photos taken there, I made postcards at home, I will also post them, see.

He comes only to the first meeting with new tourists and that's it. Again, not in favor of Tunisia, we went to Egypt with the Tez tour, the guide was sitting there at the hotel for hours in the morning and evening.
There are no special complaints about the hotel, a good hotel, there will be more of our tourists and the service staff will teach our language, and so far with their knowledge of the language and vocabulary.
From the photos taken there, I made postcards at home, I will also post them, see.

We stayed at this hotel in June 2004. The hotel is small, located on the second line, through two roads. On the territory of a large beautiful swimming pool, gym, as well as an indoor pool. The food is so-so, could be better. The restaurant is small, the eternal queues are not convenient. No animation, everyone entertains himself.

If you asked me if I would like to return to this hotel, then my answer is no. But this is my subjective opinion.
