Hotel Zenith for a triple is quite acceptable! Usually we go to fives and fours, but here we decided to shrink a little and go to the top three, costing 50.000 rubles for two, and we did not lose.
The first day was a little disappointing:
View not to the pool
The room on the third floor is high.
There is only one elevator so you won't leave right away.
To the sea to go about ten minutes (previously always took the first line).
But the very next day, the opinion changed:
Rooms with windows overlooking the pool were not envied - noisy all night, and during dinner
From 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm, the person preparing the grill periodically flooded it with water and smoke clouded all the windows overlooking the pool, and the landscape from our window turned out to be quite decent and very green.
They got used to the third floor very quickly, and usually went up three times a day:
At lunch, after the sea and going to bed. Out of 10 times three times on foot.
Walking to the beach twice a day also did not take much effort and time.
Safe!
When we arrived there were no free safes, we waited two days until they were free.
You can leave a deposit for it in any currency, as well as for the TV remote control, but it’s better to do it not in dinars, because when you leave, you don’t know where to put it. They exchange it for a convertible at the airport (Monastir) in a state exchange office, but at a bad rate, they strive to cheat for a dollar or two, and only if you have a certificate from the bank that you exchanged currency for local. Duty free at the airport does not accept local currency for payment.
It’s better not to exchange money at the reception - a bad exchange rate and it’s better to pay in local currency, because at least half a dinar, but they try to deceive.
With a good exchange rate, there is a bank across the road from the hotel towards the sea.
There's a course: for $ 1 they give 1.46 dinars. At the reception 1.4.
The shower in the room was good, the water pressure was strong. But the faucet on the sink was leaking and when the cleaning lady folded the towels on the edge, they got wet.
Water, neither hot nor cold, was never turned off. The water, unlike the Oasis Hotel (a two-day trip to the Sahara), is soft and not salty.
The cleaners were left 2 dinars daily. Apparently, this suited them, because the floor was wiped daily, the bed linen was changed. Sometimes, though, they simply turned the sheet over to the other side without changing it.
The cleaners do not speak English at all, and the stupidity sometimes reached the point of being ridiculous.
We decided to wash the shorts with a T-shirt and iron two new T-shirts. They took a laundry paper from them, went down to the reception desk and explained what I needed. There they put a tick in the necessary columns, calculated it and put the price at the bottom (about 15 dinars). They said that you can pay when leaving the hotel. Two piles were folded on the bed and they signed in English which one to wash and iron, and which one to only iron, and attached a laundry paper.
On the first day they took us away, but the next day, when they saw us in the corridor, the cleaning lady came to the room with our clothes and offered to discuss in Arabic or French in response to our offer to speak in English or Russian. They explained on the fingers what to wash and iron, and what just to iron. She understood everything, but what a surprise it was when the next day we found that everything was washed and nothing was ironed. New t-shirts in factory packaging have also been washed! You bastards!
Already at the airport they remembered that the money was not taken at all when leaving the hotel.
The hotel guide Vasim quite tolerably speaks Russian (he studied in St. Petersburg on Sadovaya as a railway worker), but in pursuit of his interests he obsessively tried to sell the maximum number of excursions in the first two days of arrival. Biblio Globus Company. When paying for excursions, you need to ask Vasim for the cost in foreign currency and in dinars.
It has its own course and is sometimes cheaper in dollars, and sometimes in TND.
Visited excursions:
Tunis-Carthage-Sidi Bou Said cost $50 per person.
The score is a solid three. Baths (Baths) Anthony - not very interesting. In Sidi Bou Said
The guide took us out of the bus, showed us the direction of travel and left, although the Italian guide from another group showed and told everything to her sightseers.
The same is true in Tunisia. Go, he says, please, to the local market (souk in Arabic) and bargain with the Arabs. I don't have the strength or the patience to do it. It is better to buy everything in fixed price stores, called "General", "Bravo", "Jasmine". They are in Tunisia and Hammamet. Nerves will be better.
The second excursion to the Sahara was very pleasant. Price $ 100 per person + for jeeps and camels paid separately another $ 30 for each. But it's worth it.
The main thing is to ask the hotel guide if there will be a guide Elena.
She is Russian (from the city of Kalashnikov in the Izhevsk region) and tells interesting stories. In the museum with the wonderful name "Chakvak" we met another group, also "Bible Globe" they had an Arabic guide Maxim. We listened to what he says and understood - only Elena. This Maxim also asked our Elena what trees are called in Russian!
Someone from our hotel went to the "Laser Show" and "Pirate Ship" (boat trip) - not recommended.
Hammamet. There are two of them. The nearest (about 8 km. ) Hammamet Medina, it is older and has a fortress-museum (Medina). Worth a visit - very impressive view from the fortress wall.
You need to ask Wasim the cost of a taxi ride (if we are not mistaken, then 5 dinars) and negotiate with the taxi driver before the start of the trip. If he overstates, then offer him to turn on the meter (taximeter).
Hammamet Jasmine (Arabs call Yasmin) is twice as far and the cost of the trip is twice as high.
There is not much to see (one street along the sea and one street to the local Disneyland), but there are a lot of shops with fixed prices, where souvenirs are much cheaper than in the shops around the hotel and the Medina.
In general, I liked everything.
