The hotel stands out for its unconventional design. Very pleasant hall, made in the style of the street, furniture of different styles, many places where it's just nice to sit. WiFi in the lobby is free. The rooms are large, it is surprising that the toilet is separate from the bathroom. The windows are semi-circular, as in the pictures. The disadvantages include weak water pressure, but this is almost a common thing; disgusting hair dryers of course; bad handles on the balcony door. The menu, in comparison with the same Turkey, can be called modest, but nutritious  Everything seems to be there, but... Breakfast: scrambled eggs (beaten eggs, that is, in our scrambled eggs) with additives such as tomato, cheese, etc. , are made in front of you; pancakes; draft yogurt and rather tasteless (in Sousse at 5 * they gave packaged - it’s impossible to break away, but here it’s just everything), rolls, butter, jams, muesli, rarely cottage cheese (tasty! sorry a little), tea bags (also disappointing) and coffee from cars. Lunch (all inclusive or extra charge): not enough! boiled or raw chopped vegetables (beets, carrots, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers, etc. ); one maximum 2 hot, usually chicken (turkey) and fish, side dishes. For garnish, often unpeeled zucchini (they are apparently not accepted to be peeled there... ) with carrots, rice. Sweets. Dinner: A small platter of fruit, which of course you have to hunt  . It was strawberry season! out of 4 days they gave it only 2 times! The volume was about 5 people... And for the same number of people peaches. The rest are oranges and dates - which few people eat. To later brought something else I didn’t see. Perhaps if there are more people in the hotel they will increase the amount of fruit, but a little bit still... It's disappointing. And this despite the fact that strawberries are local and cost a penny. Spaghetti with different additives is prepared in front of you. Something like couscous, but a la noodles. Vegetables for lunch, side dishes are about the same. Sweets are mostly delicious, many with fruit. By the way, both meat and chicken are all cut into small pieces and stewed. In principle, of course, you won’t stay hungry, everything is edible, but those who are used to Turkish hotels must be prepared... But it’s better than in Egypt, even at 5 *. The hotel stands like everything else in the area, through a small (by Moscow standards) road in 4 lanes, from the sea. Own beach, umbrellas, sun loungers, etc. everything is fine. The funny thing is that a certain black pipe runs along the border of the beach... not a sewer, nothing even flowed from it... The conclusion ends right on the beach by the sea. M. b. storm? Couldn't find out. The hotel has a thalasso center. Take money in advance. for example 1 body wrap - 50 dinars. offer courses in several procedures and several days. Take about 1 thousand euros to do something normally there. The second trouble is the presence of camels walking along the beach... which, of course, poop directly on the beach sand and no one cleans up after them! They take tourists to ride. The beach is of course sandy, the entry into the sea is smooth. On the streets they offer to ride horses... I don’t know about you guys, but I couldn’t even approach these horses even 3 meters & # 61514; Behind each horse hangs a bag and the horse poops there! I don't know when these bags are cleared. but… the smell……. . Terrible. There is still the opportunity to ride and even get somewhere by train. Not new, but so... nothing. Purchases. There are shops with fixed prices and there are a la markets (medinas) with contractual. The main difference from Turkey... Divide immediately by 10 (! ) The offered price, and not by 2 or even 3. I was unpleasantly surprised. first go to fixed stores, and only then to the market in order to understand the order of prices in general. The shops are all almost the same, the prices differ insignificantly. In medinas, too, everything is the same. Tunisians would do well to do the same as the Turks - to rip off European designs. Well, too monotonous and specific products. For example, there are good quality souvenir T-shirts in stores - 11 dinars, and there are very cheap consumer goods. Lots of bags, belts, leather bracelets, Arabic design clothes. Well, of course, bring clay shampoo and cosmetic mud from there. This quality is good and worth every penny. There is a supermarket not far from the store... the choice is extremely small. As well as there are several pizzerias and restaurants, but... It's easier to take lunch at the hotel or you will eat about the same thing, but in a different place for other money. Excursion Carthage - 80 dinars. If possible, take an individual one. Only 2 historical places are shown, and so m. b. there will be an opportunity to ride in more detail and assess the scale. The museum is uninteresting. The Mosaic Museum is interesting in principle, but very fast. A white-and-blue city…well…a sort of village of clay houses on a slope, where the houses are white, and the bars on the windows and doors are blue – that’s all. No mosaics, nothing interesting. In general, people make money from whatever they can. In general, excursions are not very good. There are only 2 historical ones - except for Carthage Dugge. And so, nonsense like zoos, boat trips, etc. Well, it's understandable. The exchange rates were: for 1 euro (oiro local) 2.05-2.067 dinars or for 1 dollar 1.567. In principle, it is convenient to recalculate prices in euros. Take the pen  Upon arrival, they are forced to fill out paperwork - it’s good if the fourth part of the plane had pens, but the locals don’t give out. We flew through Efidna. Duty free is weak, small. The local population is more tolerable than the Turkish, much less annoying. Local women dress coolly - tight jeans, but a scarf on their heads - well, it's just ridiculous! Or leggings, a tight mini-skirt, a turtleneck, 7 cm heeled sandals and a scarf - the standards are met & # 61514; )) the body is closed, but the fact that it all sits like a second skin, apparently no one cares! So you don't have to worry too much about clothes. I didn’t see anyone in veils, and even more so hijabs. As usual, do not take anything from the merchants on the streets, otherwise they will force you to pay - like there are all sorts of flowers, etc. Local beer and wine in the hotel are not tasty, but they have good vineyards with French roots, you have to buy wine separately in decent shops. Gold is only in jewelry.
