Tunisia was specially chosen as a place to stay, because we plan to visit other countries in the future - I didn’t want to compare with anything and start from the best places. The more the hotel and the city were chosen, the more difficult the choice was (3 stars were not considered as they were inferior even visually according to the old pictures presented on the Internet). 5 stars did not fit into the budget. (not all of course, but also with its focus, because the hotel was selected for the entertainment of the Child. ). After reading many reviews, the choice fell on the resort of Mahdia, because there is a snow-white and fine sand, a good entrance to the sea. Caribbean World Mahdia 4 * - among the network of this hotel in Monastir, Hammamet - our higher class, which we personally saw when we were in Tunisia. 4 swimming pools (indoor, quiet, large and a pool with slides). Mini club with animators who work with children - in Russian, Polish, Czech. Large green area of the hotel. 1 piece of advice - do not be afraid upon arrival, what they write about garbage in Tunisia is True, and you can see for yourself when the bus will take you to the Hotel. Yes, you are tired, but the view is not pleasant - but rest and good territory are ahead. The rules of the road to which we are accustomed are also NOT THERE! They drive and walk as they want, they love to honk. 2 advice - do not give money at the reception for a good room. (The tourists themselves taught them in this situation, and they use it) We arrived at 12.00 together with a group of 20 people. We got a room almost last because we were at lunch and walked around looking around the hotel - check-in at 14.00 according to the rules, we arrived at 13.30 (we checked in almost later than everyone else, others most likely sat near the reception). We were asked about the number, they gave us a key, of those that were most likely in reserve as the best, because in the morning at a meeting with operators of 20 people, 10 were not happy with the numbers for any reason (Although they also gave money). There was a case for those who rested with us immediately gave $ 50 (and they got into a normal room only 4 times and then only after 3-4 days), although they saw that a family with 2 children. OUR ROOM is quite large, separate room for children with two beds (we have one child), separate bath with shower and sink is quite clean and large, separate toilet. Next is our room with a large bed, bedside tables, mirror TV, telephone and air conditioning, a balcony with chairs and a table. During the rest, everything worked, and light and water and TV and air conditioning. 3 advice - plan your vacation, beach, pools. spa procedures, to visit the city, as well as excursions. (If, of course, you like what I have listed. ) I advise you to visit the hammam - a rather pleasant procedure. Separately, they offer a complex of massages for both the whole body and various parts of the body. Bargain!! ! Excursions if the soul lies and love adventures, then you can do everything that the operator offers yourself and it will come out much cheaper. There is a car rental in Mahdia, there is also a train schedule near the reception, to Monastir and then Sousse and back. The station is 1 km from the hotel. A ticket to Sousse is 5 dinars for two, in Sousse, not far from the terminal station, the port, and then directly 500 meters from the bus station. Ticket to FRIGIA (BOUFICHA town) - 6 dinars for two - a child is free. This is how we drove half of Tunisia, and we are very pleased with the communication with the locals - almost everyone helps and prompts, unless of course they are interested in making money from you. I really liked SUSSS, the city is much larger than Mahdia and Monastir. You can also agree with taxi drivers to go to El Jem, he takes you there and back, and also waits for you there for 2 hours (or more as agreed). They say the price is 120 dinars, our friends agreed for 80 dinars. All this requires at least basic knowledge of English or French. I liked the walk on the Pirate ship, a local Tunisian in a PIRATE T-shirt walks, offers separately from the operator. They used to do animation, now the team just dress up as PIRATES and take pictures with tourists, then these photos are sold for 5 dinars per photo. Offer - swimming in the open sea, see dolphins in the sea. The whole walk through good music with dancing and jokes. Tunisia has an excellent FRIGIA zoo - not far from Hammamet. Dolphinarium that is nearby - did not like (do not advise) a small performance and showed little. The best performance of dolphins was seen in Minsk (Belarus). In the zoo, pink flamingos, lemurs, monkeys, turtles, lions, tigers, kangaroos, Ostriches and Camels - you can ride them, tickets are nearby in an ice cream stand, they can also change dollars. Fur seals, elephants, bulls, roe deer, etc. It was a great pleasure to see GIRAFFS - we fed them, took pictures with them - class. In HAMMAMET - an amusement park Carthage Land, like Disneyland - is also not bad. The hotel offers camel rides ALI-BABA (you can also ask him to cook grilled fish in foil), horseback riding, quad bike rides (rental near the hotel). Well, let's talk about rest. The beach is clean, fine white sand, good entry into the sea, shallowly quite far from the coast. There are a lot of shells, mostly only in the morning during the night it fills - then the tourists take it apart or the sea takes it back. The territory has its own club with a boat, a banana, a parachute, etc. , etc. - all this is paid. The beach is divided into 2 territories on the right - a larger area with sun loungers, a smaller one on the left and borders on a path and access to the city. Therefore, local residents walk along the coast, but there is a demarcation with small buoys. The sea is stormy - always surf. The water in June was wonderful - quite warm, the waves are wonderful, especially in recent days were larger than usual - the feeling is super - don't be afraid to try it! Various merchants walk along the beach, from shells and towels, kites, capes, drums, CIGARETTES (they don’t carry 12 blocks in a hand !!! ) to fruits and exotics - they don’t stick to tourists much if the security starts whistling and driving away the beaches. Everything offered is cheaper to buy in shops, fruits on the market. The sea is good - it was possible to swim into the ocean for the farthest buoys, away from the crowd. As for sunbeds, you need to borrow them in the morning (we arrive early in the morning before breakfast, choose a place for ourselves - a local worker comes up, he brings a mattress, although then there were also free places, also near the pool, I didn’t really like this situation, because it was such that the sunbeds were occupied for half a day, but no one used it, but somehow everyone was distributed and went to bed basically from day to day in the same place. The pools are quite large and clean for both children and adults, not bad slides in the Water Park - put on armlets for the child and go (circles, mattresses, boats - more and not very convenient. ) Before lunch on the beach, after lunch on the pools and slides - so time and spent. The food is quite normal, though we had to fantasize ourselves, from the proposed salad we made ourselves and poured with lemon - and then we were already fed up with the food. Fish, chicken, incomprehensible meat - lamb, camels, etc. For children, french fries, pizzas (specific : ) whoever tries to agree - dough, tomato paste and cheese for dough, tomatoes and peppers occasionally). ice cream without restriction (delicious and delicious cone), watermelon. Drinks and BEER - it is best to drink cold, then the taste was lost. Tea, coffee - not tasty. From the devices near the pool and the bar on the ground floor, coffee is tastier. It is better to take alcohol pure - without ice and tonics. The ice melted and it turned out that you were drinking diluted alcohol, so you also diluted it further. Not bad mint tea on the ground floor near the hookah, hookah for extra. fee. There are many shops, cafes in the city, there are about 12 hotels along the coast, I liked the restaurant near the LIDO port - HAVE A GOOD TIME in the evening at dinner. A cart with a horse rides, a train with trailers rides. And many many taxis - from the hotel to the city - 4 dinars. There are many positives, but there were also negative points that they tried not to pay attention to, since the hotel is already getting old and the buildings are also not in the best shape (our building was the newest) spent time outdoors. And how correctly someone in the reviews noticed who comes across a good room - so the review is then not bad and the rest takes place on a positive wave, and who is not lucky (as we saw the rooms on the ground floor opposite the pedestrian zone and even small) - and in the future, everything is not so. Get out on vacation with companies - it will be more fun and do not save money when choosing (in particular, for 3-star hotels, because you can safely subtract half or a whole star from the status from any Tunisian hotel). The hotel is multinational - many tourists rested with us Russians, from Belarus, Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Norwegians, Germans, Slovaks, even Americans, Algerians and locals came to the hotel both for the weekend and for more days. The hotel as a place of rest for children is excellent, for young people it can be boring if you don’t come with a company, as there are many couples and everyone is mostly family. Summer vacation 2014 was not bad.
