This year, the owner of the hotel has changed and, based on this, all the ensuing consequences.
The hotel is solid 3 * nothing more. The hotel is old: 05/11/2012. he was 10 years old, and it seems that nothing has been updated there during this time.
I'll start with the check-in: we arrived at night, but there was no place, they promised to give a room after 12-13 hours of the next day. Only after paying $ 80 (the amount was agreed on at the reception - tax) they gave a room (and we were not alone). The room is not bad on the 0 floor (according to our 3, on the same floor with the reception) with a balcony on the golf course and the sea. The furniture is all old (like 10 years old), everything creaks and falls apart, the TV is old, in my opinion a tube one, shows one Russian channel-1. Plumbing is ancient.

The condo is common and works very interestingly, and it's not only in the room, but in the whole hotel - it just blows without cooling. This is especially noticeable at night more than once woke up from stuffiness. From the balcony there is no sense, because. very humid climate and even at night, as in a steam room, it is better not to dry anything on the balcony - it will be even more humid. Only in the morning from 3-4 hours on the street fresh air.
On the beach (the beach is very narrow from the edge of the sea to the end of the sandy beach of steps (women's) 30) the sunbeds from the net are all pressed through, they don't give mattresses, they stand right next to each other. On the beach, the sand is the smallest, like flour, and everyone who passes by you will definitely rub the sand.
We were located on the grass (soft cover, rolled lawn) under umbrellas near the sports ground (50 steps to the sea). There are plastic sunbeds with mattresses, like by the pool, but the seats had to be taken until 6-00. Yes, by the way, about the sports ground - the entire protective fence around the football field is equal to shreds and more than once the football ball flew into the head or back of the vacationers instead of the gate. The pleasure is above average and we tried from 16-30 when we started playing football to run away. Towels are given on bail 10 dinars for one (the money will be returned before departure), you can change for fresh as many times as you like.
In the evening, access to the sea was locked. The territory of the hotel is tiny, the width of the area for recreation (umbrellas with sunbeds, swimming pool, bars) is about 120-150 meters, and there are a lot of people there, in addition to "native" guests, there is also overexposure from other hotels. Everyone is literally sitting on top of each other. We were told about a huge territory, yes it exists, but it is fenced on all sides with a fence and thorny bushes - there are golf courses and you will get there only if you play golf. But this game is not in great demand (my balcony just overlooked this field), very rarely or early in the morning or in the evening 2-3 people go there.

The food is just disgusting. Cooked in some terrible oil, smelly. Grill - especially meat and fish half-baked and burnt. I am not a pretentious person in nutrition, I can eat everything, but the kitchen of this hotel is just a nightmare (it’s good that I had pills with me). Stomach suffering, everyone with whom they communicated (diarrhea, heartburn and bloating). The hotel is not ready to receive such a large number of people: there is a queue for food (dinner in two shifts - I didn’t have time until 19-30, wait 30 minutes), they don’t clean the tables (crumbs and leftover food), they also served themselves and took knives and forks and glasses, napkins are in short supply, there are no toothpicks, flies literally fly into your mouth. Fruits have always been: melon, grapes, oranges, peaches and nectarines. Baking is all for one taste (except for breakfast - everything is there without cream, such as muffins and puffs - very tasty) and everywhere, even in the cream, there is a taste of this fat. The staff (I was shocked more than once) take food (there was stew) from common trays with their hands (they tear off better pieces) and take it into their mouths...
Animation in French and partly in German. The guys are not bad, they try.
Thalassotherapy at extortionate prices (in a neighboring hotel is half the price) and the quality leaves much to be desired. We, as Ultra, are supposed to visit once a gym, a hammam and two restaurants (Italian and Tunisian cuisine). Hamam, after the Turkish hamam, is the earth and the sky, here is just a steam room. For 25 dinars (1 dinar about 22 rubles) in the hammam, we also ordered a peeling. I managed to escape, but my girlfriends suffered: they did this procedure dry, they beat me to bruises.
The menu of the Italian and Tunisian restaurants is the same as in the general restaurant, just a different room and only Tunisia or Italy are served in portions. At a Tunisian dinner, a familiar lady was very (to the point of chills) poisoned herself (they sin on unfiltered beer), with all the ensuing consequences.
Everywhere in the hotel they extort loot: the maid must be 1 dinar, otherwise you won’t have soap (shampoo, shower gel), the driver must go on an excursion (for a fee) 2-3 dinars from each, it’s necessary to leave dinars in the restaurant, then you will be served table.
The only plus and balm for the wounds from our holiday is of course the SEA. It's super soft, like velvet, and the color is amazing, emerald blue and sparkling.
From local souvenirs, we bought sheets (like our horse bedspreads) of different density and size, local leather bags, aromatic oils (for an amateur), olive oil, oriental sweets, shampoo and masks with tfal clay.
The rest left a very unpleasant aftertaste. I think I will not go to Tunisia in the near future
