Just returned, I want to share my impressions, I hope it will come in handy for someone. We traveled with a child of 2.9 years old. The second half of June is the most suitable time to relax in Tunisia. The temperature is 26-28, the air is 30-34. Also, the season of melons and other fruits falls on June. There are a lot of fruits in the hotel (watermelons, melons, figs, dates, plums, blue nectarines, peaches, apples, apricots, plus dried fruits).
The turquoise sea at the beginning of the shallow waves was not at all completely calm for children. Paradise is white. When you take it in your hands, you don’t feel the grains like flour to the touch.
Now about the hotel. The building itself is simply magnificent, very pompous in appearance and decoration, it is the most beautiful in Mahgdia, that's for sure. The standard rooms are much larger than in Turkey or Egypt, but with separate beds for the most part. The entire hotel has 10 rooms with double beds. I also liked the pools both in appearance and intricacy. I liked the fact that for the first time in my life you don’t have to take sun loungers anywhere. There are a lot of them near the pools and on the beach at any time, but when you come very late, the places will be further from the sea or pools. I liked the people they are very polite and not annoying without fear, you can go out of the hotel to go shopping or just along the streets. Although you will not wait for gratitude for a tip.

These were the pluses of this hotel and now let's move on to the minuses. They were not significant for us and after 2 days we stopped noticing them, but this determined the assessment of this hotel.
The country itself and the hotel in some respects resemble the USSR. Everything needs a piece of paper. Lost a piece of paper. Got money. We arrived at the hotel late, the child is crying, and we are told to fill out 3 forms in English, we say give the keys to put the child to bed, but someone alone will stay and fill it out - you can’t . There are no bracelets, they give a yellow piece of paper with which you must constantly go to the restaurant. In the restaurant, you need to order drinks and they bring you a piece of paper that you cannot touch, as it turns out, this is internal accounting. when you go to have breakfast, they wash the floor in front of you with a mop in the place with you, the person traveling washes the elevator, you lie near the pool, they wash the pool. As far as we understand, this is the norm for the whole country. and big, and the food is like in the dining room. There are mugs on the table in the morning, but there are no spoons. and there are no mugs anywhere. Tea and coffee are only for breakfast, and pastries and cakes all day but without tea. The waiters are accustomed to instantly pick up a plate near which there is no one. I tell the girl who fries pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast, I have never seen anything like this - there is a queue, she decided to drink coffee and began to drink, and you wait, the hotel staff came, she defiantly serves them, and you continue to wait and so every day. There is no one difference between glasses and knives does not know, but everyone, even a child, knows 2-3 languages ​ ​ fluently.
The overall impression is good. We will return to Tunisia again.
