We rested in Samira Club in August 2013. We went from Pegas Touristik. 3 hour flight from Kyiv to Monastir, then about an hour and a half transfer to Hammamet. The bus is good and air conditioned. On the way you will see heaps of garbage - do not be surprised, this is called the Tunisian mentality).
The hotel is not bad, for unassuming people. Everything is clean but modest.
The room has a TV without a remote control, a table with a mirror, chairs, bedside tables, a bed, 2 wardrobes, a toilet with a shower together, air conditioning, a paid safe. Removed 2 times.
The hotel is right on the seafront. Sunbeds are free, mattresses are free. Bottled water is available at the bar. Why do I focus on this - we began to read reviews about hotels with 4.5 stars - and they sold water there, sunbeds were also paid, etc. Everything is free here and this is a plus for the hotel.

The food is specific - either spicy or tasteless. But this is IMHO, I saw how most of the vacationers ate sweets on both cheeks. Minus: poorly washed peaches. When you take, pay attention. In the evening when there are a lot of people - a lot of dirty cutlery.
There are no juices, there is something like cola, merinda and sprite and diluted yupi. So it's better to drink water. Cocktails are a swill of UPI and vodka. It is better to drink only beer in a bar.
Camels and horses really walk along the beach, but our beach was cleaned, so there was nothing to worry about. But, we walked along the beach to the port along the municipal beach, that's where the horror is. You don’t enjoy the view of the sea, but you think how not to step somewhere).
There is nothing to see in the city. If you are going to buy something from souvenirs, take it only in stores with fixed prices.
Near the old medina there is a grocery store - there you can buy olive oil, halva, etc.
The main language in Tunisia is French, they also speak German, they know English poorly (but it depends on who you get. For example, at the reception the administrator spoke badly, but the cook speaks well). Wi-Fi is free in the hotel lobby, but slow.
The sea is clean, warm as fresh milk. The sand is white. But when the wind blows towards the shore, packages and other garbage begin to float in the sea.
On the way back, the guide will tell you to change Tunisian money for euros or dollars, because supposedly you can’t pay with them in duty free. If you are going to buy something, then everything in duty free is in dinars). Of course, they take another currency.
In general, if you need a budget vacation, Samira Club is for you).
