Our vacation began with a flight with Bravo Airlines, an oasis tour operator! Two days before departure, the flight was rescheduled from 13.40 to 23.00, but even though there were no delays at the airport, we left on time. And back, they were supposed to fly at 7.35 in the morning, the day before they moved to 23.15! Enjoyed the rest of the day! It took 40 minutes from the airport to the hotel.
The hotel is located near the city of Mahdia. 7 min by taxi. The city itself is not big, there is a Medina, a market, on Fri. big market, there are cafes. On the waterfront there is a beautiful cafe "Cape Africa" (like so), there are delicious freshly squeezed juices (according to the advice of experienced tourists) and a beautiful view of the sea! Unfortunately, on our arrival it was Ramadan and the cafe was not working, but we were able to sit and see enough of the beautiful view.
The hotel is beautiful, on a grand scale, a huge staircase, a fountain under it, a beautiful hall, large panoramic windows, you can fully enjoy the beautiful view of the territory and the sea. The sea is very beautiful, every day is different, snow-white beaches. Clean and well-groomed area, quite compact, everything is always nearby.
At the reception they quickly solve any problem, good English from the receptionists. Here you can change the currency to the local - dinars. I advise you to change, it is more profitable than paying in dollars or euros. Opposite the hotel there are shops, cafes. You can walk in both directions, there are different shops.
The hotel also has shops, an ATM, a photographer works (you can order both a couple of photos and a whole photo session, pay only for the photos that you will take (5 din / 1 photo). Wi-Fi worked both on the territory and in the room.
Our room was on the first floor, which is very convenient with children. Near access to the pools, beach and restaurant, bar. The room is large, clean, we had a 4-bed. Solid furniture, one double bed, two single beds, bedside tables, a large dressing table with a mirror, a table and chairs, a cabinet with a large flat TV, a mini fridge. In the hallway there is a spacious wardrobe, a large mirror, a cabinet for a suitcase. Separate toilet and bathroom. Toilet with bidet. Everywhere is clean, without mold, snow-white bedding and towels, bathrobes. Hot water all the time, good water pressure and flow. Free safe. Quite a spacious balcony with a table and chairs, there is a small dryer for clothes. Cleaning is good, always clean and washed. In general, very good conditions. By the way, tiles are only on the first floor (-2), on the other floors there is carpeting everywhere.
The pools are clean, several levels of depth 0.80-1.60m with fountains, also a large children's pool with a fungus and a small slide in the form of a frog. More, unfortunately, there are no slides. Round bar by the pool is paid! There are very few sun loungers near the pool, about 50-60 pcs. But you can also sit along the beach line, from the side of the hotel on the lawn. It is very comfortable there, a fence of bushes and flowers does not let the wind through and creates an additional shadow, close to the beach, toilet, bar, shower, pools. The beach is windy, protection would not hurt. But a very beautiful sea! Entrance is great, no extra shoes needed. Excellent with children - far to the depths. White sand, lots of shells.
Sun loungers and umbrellas were delivered all the time, according to the number of vacationers. We saw that a lot of new sunbeds in boxes were brought in - they are preparing for the season, there should not be a shortage.
On the day of our arrival on 05/20/2018, the water in the sea and the pools is invigorating, a day later it even rained, we were alone on the beach) But after that, the weather improved, it became hot, the water in the pools is quite warm, the sea is cooler, but also comfortable, The kids enjoyed swimming!
Toilets, showers are at the entrance to the beach, and on the territory near the pool. With cleanliness!
Restaurants and bars. On the territory of one bar - Near the pools, on the way to the beach. Pretty cozy, good service, normal selection of alcohol and water, delicious different cocktails, coffee machine. Works 10.00-17.00. however, it closed already at 16.50, which is a little strange, since there are still a lot of vacationers around, I could easily work until 18.00, since there is no other bar in the pool-beach area, but it’s somehow not convenient inside in a swimsuit....
Two bars inside the hotel. On the -2nd floor there is an American bar, open from 17.00-24.00. cozy, there are tables outside. And on the 0 floor, near the reception bar, open from 10.00-24.00. The saxophone or the piano plays there in the evenings. With a lack of dishes, places in restaurants and bars did not come across.
In the bar on the beach, and near the reception at 10.00, they also put out croissants with buns, and in the afternoon you could have a snack with sandwiches. Also in any bar you can ask for snacks (chips, nuts).
The main restaurant is located on the -2 floor, snow-white tablecloths, napkins, smiling waiters. The cuisine is quite tasty, wonderful pizza, a variety of sweets (eclairs, shortbread baskets with fruits, delicious cakes, cookies, various mousses, very tasty ice cream, good wine. There are always 3-4 types of fruits. There is always a lot of everything, everything was enough for everyone, everything was in abundance.
Everywhere a small tip will improve and expedite your service.
There are two more a la carte restaurants, have not been, I can not say anything.
Animation! For adults, it’s quite normal - gymnastics, aqua aerobics, volleyball, water polo, beli dance, archery, darts, different shows in the evening (karaoke, skits, etc. ) You can keep yourself busy. In general, we had an active vacation, thanks to Ahmet (Mario) for this - gymnastics, Aqua aerobics, etc. I did not like that the music was only near the pool and then by the hour - in the morning from 10.00-12.00, then from 15.00-17.00. The beach is quiet and boring, but the sea is gorgeous!
Children's animation is not very - mini disco in the evenings, there is a mini club. Several times we went to the mini club - all the time it was closed. We found one of the animators, then they called and opened it. There are several games, puzzles, pencils, plasticine, etc. It is difficult for them with children, as there is a language barrier. The animators speak Arabic, French, a little and not all English. If adults can still somehow explain themselves, then it is more difficult for children. Well, in general, children's animators - 2 girls are somehow about nothing...
Once a girl-animator named Lola, invited the children to the mini club, came up to us, I let the child go with her. Brought in 30 minutes, I ask what did you do? Malay says that she made them a tattoo, but she didn’t do it to him because it costs 10 dollars for a fee....Somehow the question arises why you took children without parents (it is clear that they are without money... ) and why you didn’t offer them normally to parents right away... A very strange individual... Another case when, after a mini disco, she said that she had gifts for everyone children. All the children happily ran up and the situation....- they gave a leaflet with their name in Arabic and some of the children simply do not receive these leaves for unknown reasons... of course, tears are also upset... Why do this? Either to everyone or to no one, despite the fact that there were always few children there, those who constantly go there could already be remembered....
This hotel has a thalasso therapy center. Very beautiful, everywhere there are candles, aroma sticks, a room for tea drinking and relaxation. There are many different massage and beauty treatments, but as for me, the main treasure of this center is the presence of two pools with sea water! In any weather, you can always enjoy and improve your health in such a pool. The water there is more concentrated than in the sea and very warm, probably 40 degrees. The pools have a variety of different massage devices, jacuzzis, etc. In general, you can do all the necessary massages, only using the pool. The policy of the center is as follows - if you take at least some procedures in the center, then the pools, sauna and hammam are free for the whole family. And in the center you need to bargain, as elsewhere, the sum you named can be reduced by 2p. I advise everyone to visit for sure!
The impression of Tunisia was good, a beautiful civilized country. There, no one bothers you in the market, bazaar or shops. Yes, there are problems with garbage, but not critical. We really liked Tunisia, as well as Mahdia.
Would love to come back to this hotel! Have a good rest, I will be happy to answer if you have any questions) I will upload a photo the other day.
