We rested in September 2013. We arrived late. At the airport, the entire flight was not given luggage. We frantically rushed between the conveyors, when our suitcases from another flight suddenly began to be served on the scoreboard. Waited over an hour. Not a single representative of the airport. There's not even a place to look! The transfer is fast, from Enfidha airport a little over half an hour. Although the airport is new, it does not cope with the capacity. Very long passport control! Then again the control of hand luggage. Exhausted, by God!
We arrived at the hotel around midnight. But as soon as they entered, they were stunned. I knew from the photo that the hotel was beautiful, but I didn’t even imagine that it was so much! The architect of Disney Land, by the way, designed! We were sent to a night restaurant to refresh ourselves. And there - a self-assembled tablecloth of more than 30 dishes! Wow night buffet! They settled instantly, with a Sea View voucher, settled with a frontal view of the sea. The room is huge, just great!
In the style of Mat-Matov caves (well, with vaults it resembles the Kremlin chambers). Forged chests, slatted cabinet doors, rounded corners, lots of wood and clay. Toilet/bathroom in separate rooms. The beds are comfortable. The balcony is big. The air conditioner operates according to the selected mode. If there are 2 cards, you can leave one on, it will cool the number. We did this for a couple of days, then we just left the balcony open. Very good quality pick up! Solid 5 points! Moreover, both the room and the hotel itself, and the territory. Only the beach could be better cleaned. Algae only at our hotel lay in huge mountains, on neighboring beaches a small excavator buried them with sand. And the environment does not suffer, and visually very clean! According to the laws of Tunisia, algae from the beaches cannot be taken out - the ecosystem is being violated. But sprinkle with sand - you can. Question: Why didn't anyone in Lella do this?

In all other points, cleanliness is elevated to the ring of a cult. The girls clean and scrub all day. Swans are twirled on the bed, sprinkled with hibiscus flowers, towels are changed daily, washing supplies are regularly added. Tipping was not left, the quality of cleaning did not decrease. They thanked us on the last day by catching our cleaning lady in the hallway. I was very surprised and eternally grateful!
If you have strong nerves and there is no sleep disturbance, then you will be fine in rooms with a sea view. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a pool view. The point is the private beach in front of the hotel. There, until 12 am, the music yells at exorbitant decibels! It didn’t bother us - we appeared in the room much later! ))) The soundproofing between the rooms is excellent. You can't hear a sound from neighboring rooms! There is no dryer on the balcony. But we are seasoned tourists! We always carry a rope and clothespins with us. Fan is weak. But on the balcony the wind is strong.
So, even long hair dries quickly!
It's a pity that in such a beautiful hotel there is absolutely no atmosphere in the restaurant. Canteen, you can’t call it otherwise. Flies fly in swarms. And they crawl on food. Blatant! In warm regions, there are flies, wasps, and in some places mosquitoes everywhere. However, somehow they cope with their invasion. But not in Tunisia! Table wine is disgusting. It is impossible to drink either red or pink, white is a little better, but not ice either! Beer is nothing. That's where they stopped. They feed well. The choice of dishes is often repeated, but you can always choose something tasty. Of course, not Turkish All, but you definitely won’t stay hungry! 3 years ago I was in Sousse. There were about 12 types of cheese for breakfast! There's only one, but what a one! You can sell your Motherland for this magical Rikota! Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are quite plentiful, the choice of dishes is large, there is no lack of anything. If something ends, they immediately bring it. The cooks on the grill are joking, smiling.

Overall, quite friendly staff. With the exception of some particularly distinguished morons! But where without them? Every family has its black sheep! If brazen, overt sexual harassment begins on the part of the staff, and after a certain number of suggestions, nothing changes, feel free to contact the management. Action will be taken immediately. Cheer up be healthy! The hotel has animators. They seem to be working. But they were of little interest to us. Our communication with them was reduced to the exchange of towels in the booth, well, standard greetings. I read in the reviews about harassment. So yes, there is a place to be. But unlike the waiters, the animators do it rather with humor. Maybe, what if it shoots? The hotel has a wonderful thalassotherapy center! Girls, girls, women - you must come here! The pleasure is not cheap, but worth it! A very, very extensive list of procedures and very unusual pleasant sensations from them!
Traded poorly, everything is on the price list. If I go even when to Tunisia, then only for the sake of Thalasso! The sea in Hammamet-Yasmine is dirty. The hotel is next to the port, all sorts of rubbish such as plastic bags and other garbage is constantly nailed! Well, if it storms, turbidity and algae rise from the bottom. The last 4 days the sea was calm, the water was clean. Finally swam! Were on an excursion Tunis-Carthage-Sidi bou Said-Bardo Museum. Interesting, informative, the guide is good (and smart, and handsome, and speaks Russian well)! But 3 years ago we went on a 2-day excursion to the Sahara, where it is much more interesting! Although, ideally, it is necessary to visit both there and there. In conclusion, I want to say that 3 years ago Tunisia was not particularly impressed, but now it’s even worse. After the 2010 coup, they still do not have a president, the interim government does not really care about the life of the population. Utilities do not work, garbage is not taken out. Everywhere there are mountains of bags, packages, etc.
As a result - flies, well, I think, all other parasites, smells! Shopping in Tunisia. Only in the Generale supermarket you can buy wine Magon (state monopoly on alcohol), take Vieux Magon (Old Magon) for 20 dinars, it is much tastier than the usual Magon for 8 dinars. Factor of! In the same supermarket, a variety of spices, very cheap, halva, Turkish delight. In confectioneries, by weight, you should buy oriental sweets from nuts, nougat, baklava, even tastier than Turkish! Not cheap, but the ingredients are natural (nuts, honey, fructose) and very tasty! At the bazaar (souk) buy luxury olives by weight. They sell in huge barrels, try everything, buy whichever you like best. 2$/kg. ))) Very unusual marinade! Smell awesome! Olive oil on tap is much tastier than supermarket oil. The price is even cheaper: 5.5 dinars per liter. Leather bags and suede ones are very good. If you are in the Sahara, everything is 2 times cheaper there. And souvenirs, including. In the evening you can take a walk to the port.
There is such an abundance of restaurants and cafes, yachts in the sea, beautiful, music plays, you can smoke a hookah. You can also go to the Medina near the hotel. This is a brand new one. Antique styling. Nothing special! And there is nothing to buy. In general, we had a good rest. The country is not ours. And the hotel is luxurious! I have no words! )))
