Hotel ratings by criteria:
Pros: Quiet, calm, unobtrusive, decent food, very, very friendly staff. I even regretted that I didn’t take a couple of souvenirs from Russia, for example, for them, the matryoshka is still a curiosity. Disadvantages: after July 1, holidays begin for children in Tunisia and nearby Arab countries. It was after July 1 that many Arab families traveled from Moscow, the operator Elita-travel, on Prospekt Mira, house 11. Everything is well organized. True, they flew with Tunisian airlines, they feed very poorly, you can die of hunger! So take bananas or a couple of sandwiches for the road. And when I flew back from Tunisia, I took a bottle of water on the plane (from the hotel), you can carry water at their airport. And it’s good that I took it, otherwise you won’t be able to interrogate the stewardesses and water! The hotel has good tennis courts. I lived in a room that overlooked the courts. The room is big. In the room itself there is a safe, however, with a key, not a number one. There were enough sun beds for everyone on the beach. This is a hotel for pensioners, that is, for me, young people will be bored there. There is practically no animation. And there's nowhere to go outside the hotel. I brought a lot of natural creams from Tunisia, based on seaweed and clay. Even in the pharmacy, buy a gel made from natural aloe, it costs 9 dinars. A wonderful remedy, both for burns and for the home, heals wounds, abrasions. In general, their olive oil-based and aloe-based after-sun products are a hundred times better than any Garnier, Nivea, etc. Aloe-based cosmetics are sold in the hotel itself, near the reception. MD Naturkosmetik The Germans told me that these cosmetics are much more expensive in Germany, because they are natural and very good. For older ladies, it is best to take a lifting cream, it is 62 dinars. In the hotel itself, the staff speaks French, German, practically does not speak English! But they learn Russian with great diligence, I even regretted that I had not taken a phrase book with me, I would have given them, let them learn. . . If you do not speak foreign languages, then take a phrase book with you, you can Arabic-Russian, you can French-Russian. And then there will be problems, this is not Turkey for you, where everyone already speaks Russian. . . Mineral water is not brought into the room, but you can pick it up from the reception yourself. I want to say that all problems were solved promptly. For example, my refrigerator did not work, they replaced it after 10 minutes. Then, after a couple of days, the light bulb burned out in the table lamp, and I told the reception that it was not urgent for me, to change it, so they changed it immediately, after 10 minutes. Of course, the maids are waiting for a tip, but they clean well even without a tip. I gave the waiter a tip of 10 dinars at the end of the vacation, I also left the maid at the end, if you wish, leave a small amount of money to the guy who carried sunbeds to you on the beach every day. But all this is not necessary, they do their job well even without a tip. To my surprise, our vodka, any kind, will be a good present. Alcohol in Tunisia is expensive. I am satisfied with the rest, but this is because I found what I was looking for. In the morning at 6 in the morning I went to the sea and walked along the coast, 2 kilometers one way and back. The morning is full of such tourists and locals, someone runs along the sea, someone walks. Silence and peace. And some may find it boring. . . and there is nothing to do in the evening. . . outside the hotel there is a desert and a couple of souvenir shops. In general, who is looking for peace and solitude (including from our Russians) - you are here.
