Decided to write a review after a month. I remembered how I suffered with the choice of a hotel, so maybe my short opus will help someone decide.
Rested from 24.06. 10 to 05.07. 10. family: me, husband and daughter 8 years old.
Before leaving, I analyzed many hotels in Tunisia. The reviews were completely contradictory. About the same hotel, completely polar opinions and reviews, which scared me very much. It seems like they set their sights on Tunisia, we read some nonsense and we no longer know whether to go to this Tunisia unknown to us. Very frightening subjective statements, which, needless to say, have a huge impact on us - tourists. But a decision was made at the family council - to explore new horizons, and not travel 100 times to the same country. So - the only 4 * hotel about which we did not find any negative - this was Paradis.
In order not to torment, I will say right away - the rest was a success !!!

Of course, if you look for flaws, you will find them everywhere. We've come to rest.
The hotel is large, well maintained and green. We were settled in a bungalow. When the reception asked for a room in the main building for a fee, we were told that today there is no such possibility. Well, don't go tomorrow. After living a couple of days, looking closely, we realized that the bungalow is better. Since there is greenery in front of the terrace, you can walk barefoot, lie down on the sofa, listen to the birds singing. Where can you do that in a bustling city.
On some sites they write that the hotel has 300 rooms. We walked around the territory and in the main building we saw signs of rooms with numbers over 2200. The hotel is huge and does not pull at 300.
The food is superb. Pure Europe. Of the specific - only the national dish KUS-KUS, for an amateur. If in Turkey it was delicious, but you had to look closely, then here everything that you don’t take is DELICIOUS!! ! Beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, even the beach restaurant had pork! Wine, balsamic, soy sauces, etc. Side dishes and mashed potatoes and pasta and vegetables. Very well represented Italian. corner - spaghetti, pasta, pizza, lasagna, etc. I have never seen such an abundance of fish products anywhere, fried, stewed, baked, stuffed fish, king prawns, mussels, squids, etc. . You can’t count everything. Come at any time - and there will always be mountains of food. If something starts to run out, they immediately bring a new tray. A lot of pastries: croissants, French pastries, cakes, pastries, huge mountains of cream - chocolate, coffee, strawberry, custard, whipped cream. Everything cannot be described - there is only one problem, what to choose, because. eyes run wide. There is something for both kids and adults to choose from. For food, don't hesitate.

Beach... Near the pool they occupy early - hours at 6.30 - 7 in the morning the movement begins to take places. Well, so, away from the pool and on the beach there is always a place. The sand is gorgeous, the color of coffee with milk. Every morning a tractor drove and sifted it. I didn’t see gobies and garbage in the sand. The sea is clean, there was no algae. The sea for living creatures is scarce. But I put on a mask, found a jellyfish in the water (they are very beautiful and big) and swam above it, sent it.
The staff does not speak Russian at all. There were only a couple of Russian families in this hotel. But we considered it - as a positive fact. We get very tired at work - I want to talk to my family, not to enter into dialogues with compatriots. Most vacationers are Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Serbs. All are behaving well. Our guide worked in another hotel (because we were the only one from the tour operator), but gave us a phone number and asked to be called for any questions at any time. But since I can convey my desires and aspirations to the staff in English on my own, then there were no problems, and they didn’t pull him.
I tried to understand how many hours the staff sleeps - I did not understand. They work until late - and a little light - they are already on their feet. They always smile (but not with a forced smile, but from the heart), they sing songs, they try to say something in Russian. And all this from the heart! And from this positive you yourself begin to smile at them in response - and also from the bottom of your heart.
Animation. There is constant movement throughout the day. But I can’t say anything intelligible, because. To our shame, we did not visit a single event in the evening. It was good for us as a family, we are already all at work - so the only way to be together is to rest. The child also did not participate in the animation, because. she was embarrassed that they were speaking a foreign language around. I swam in the pool, and in the evening on the playground - on a swing.

We visited a 2-day excursion to the Sahara, were at the zoo, at the Zulu show. Everything is just great!! ! After the Sahara, they arrived so exhausted that they couldn’t be put into words - whatever one may say, they drove 1300 km across the country. And I can’t travel more than 60 km in Belarus. Impressions of the sea - and the ancient city of Keirovan with a huge mosque, and a rally across the Sahara, and an oasis in the desert, and a camel ride in the Sahara, and an ancient amphitheater in El Jem, and Berber caves. All this is very colorful and impressive! Do not spare money - go around the country.
Here is my short review. Maybe someone got tired of reading all this, but maybe someone will say thank you. In general, do not hesitate, go to Tunisia. Our family has no regrets about choosing this country and this hotel. The only pity is that in the next five years we will not return here - because. I want to travel as many places on earth as possible and have my own opinion about everything, and not someone else's subjective opinion.
Have a great holiday at Paradis Palace!! !
