Rested with my husband in the period from 07.09. 2013-19.09. 2013. In general, we were satisfied with the rest, but we will come to this country for the second time only in 20-30 years.
Hotel
- The hotel is presented as 5 *, but in fact it does not pull in this category. Maximum 3*. In appearance, of course, everything is beautiful, but if you look closely, you can see a lot of interesting things - in the hall the sofas are terribly shabby, the carpet probably never knew wet cleaning, chairs and tables on the balconies are not wiped at all. It was scary to go there!
- The rooms are hardly cleaned. The maximum is to change the towels and sometimes take out the trash. They left a tip, but it didn't help. In general, we did not mess with the cleaning of the rooms. Everything was so clean with us and we didn’t demand to change linen and towels every day, but it was unpleasant when a person took a tip and didn’t even deign to take out the garbage, and there was a decent amount of it! I'm not talking about the vacuum cleaner and wet cleaning!
Okay, close your eyes to this.
- we arrived at 21-00 and we were immediately settled, but who arrives after 24-00, then the hotel may think that you will not come at all and this room is being sold! Our friends had such a terrible situation. They were not settled at 03-00, although these days were paid. And they got into the room only at 10-00, that is, they slept on sofas in the lobby! Horror is simple! As a token of compensation, they were offered a room with a sea view at no extra charge.
- when we settled, I immediately said that I wanted a sea view, but the administrator said that I had to pay $ 20 per day. I refused, then he sincerely said that our room was bad. It made me laugh and I decided to check it out. The room itself is not bad. Thankfully everything worked. Well, the view from the window was not very good. But most importantly, it was so quiet that no one bothered us. I mean the animation and the screams of the children. The room had a view of the airport. Airplanes do not fly there often, so do not be afraid.
Everything is fine there, and it’s even interesting to look at the palm grove outside the hotel and behind the planes)))
- be sure to use the safe, it is fortunately free. There were no cases of theft during our stay, but I heard a lot of complaints from other hotels that things and money were lost, who did not use the safe.
- if you don’t want to spend money on an iron, take a travel iron with you or prepare your wallet, since this service is paid.
- You can rent towels. But the system is not the most convenient. You leave a deposit of 20 dinars (approx. 13 dollars) for one towel and pick it up on the last day. But they must have time to spend, since it is forbidden to export paper money! In general, it is better to bring your own towels.
- Animation in the hotel is, but we did not get accustomed to it. It was boring! But we went to the beach and walked after dinner admiring the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea.
Restaurant
- the service is very specific.
We are not capricious tourists at all, but we did not tolerate impudence on the part of the attendants. And there in the restaurant - it's in the order of things. There were several conflicts with the waiters.
-when you come for breakfast at 09-00, it is very difficult to find clean cutlery, cups and even hot water. The water in the cooler is also running out. Fortunately, they respond to your requests and bring everything. But you have to wait a little. In general, we quickly got used to it.
- if you have half board, then drinks are not included in the price. And they are much more expensive in the hotel than in the shop across the street. We took half board and didn't go hungry. Breakfasts from 07:00 to 10:00, dinners from 18:30 to 21:00. at lunchtime they didn’t go anywhere to eat, as there was enough breakfast and, of course, it was possible to take something out of the restaurant in silence. Of course, this is forbidden, but if you quietly put a peach in a bag, then nothing will happen)))) It's good that at least for breakfast you can drink tea, coffee and water.
- Breakfast in the restaurant is bad. I counted on cheeses so much, but they simply couldn’t even be smelled, let alone eaten! Sausage and frankfurters - pure soy and nuclear color! We ate eggs and vegetables. Of course, they didn’t have enough imagination to make omelettes with different additives! I thought that we would crow there in 12 days) But they have a better situation with sweets. Any croissants and buns. You can pour honey, jam and chocolate.
- Dinners are amazing! We were satisfied! Lots of meats, side dishes, sweets, ice cream and fruits. Everything here was 5, if you do not pay attention to the waiters. It feels like they are all under the influence of weed! (even offered to buy hash from them) They don't behave very nicely. For example, for dinner, one waiter can come up 5 times and point on his fingers and mumble something. In the end, we realized that he was giving us compliments. And the other waiter of pure water impudent. His name is Mohammed.
He generally allowed himself to whisper in the ear of the girls it was not clear what. And once we told him that we would not order alcohol and drinks, as their prices are very high, and then he made fun of us that a cup of tea costs $ 100 and it is very expensive! I was shocked! It was such that he began to transplant from one place to another. And then my patience ran out! He got me! Then he was more polite, but still impudence has not gone away.
- the dishes in the restaurant are lousy washed. Dirty cups came across a few times. Very unpleasant. And I was constantly afraid that I would not pick up any infection in a restaurant.
- if you go on an excursion before breakfast or leave at night, you will not be given anything with you. They have such a system. I tried to explain that it was not right and that I had paid for breakfast.
But they told me that they were worried about my health and that dry rations might go bad on the road and it would be their fault that I got poisoned, so they do not provide dry rations.
Be sure to take excursions. Without them, you will not recognize Tunisia.
We took Tunis-Carthage-Sidi Bou Said and Sahara for 2 days
They were very satisfied. Only during excursions drinks are not included in the price. And also the Sahara does not include riding on camels, jeeps and a horse cart. If you take all of the above, then the Sahara will cost $ 200 per person. Ripoff of course! But it's worth going there! You will not regret!
We went to Monastir and Sousse by taxi. I really liked Monastir. I advise you to go there and walk around the center and especially go to Ribat. You will not regret! We didn't like Suss at all. Very big, dirty and uncomfortable. And what smells there! Horror is simple! You can lose consciousness on the spot!
The sea was gorgeous until jellyfish appeared.
Yes, not yet as harmless as we have in the Crimea. They look like algae, but the sting takes a very long time to pass. As it turned out, they sail in September. Therefore, in September is not the best time to go there.
Well, if you do not pay attention to them, then the sea is cool. Warm, relatively clean, sometimes calm, sometimes violent. The beauty! And the sand is absolutely beautiful! I don't want to get out of it. It is like semolina, very gentle and clean. But, unfortunately, Tunisians are not the cleanest people and pollute the environment very much. Which is embarrassing to tears. In the sea you can see bottles, bags, cigarette butts, cellophane of various sizes, diapers and all sorts of leftovers. Horror is simple!
In general, when compared with Dessole Ruspina Resort, it borders on our hotel, it was cleaner there. The people there did a great job! We came to the beach at 06-30 and saw how they clean the sand from cigarette butts and other dirt with rakes. We didn't have that.
But we had a different system.
If you do not want to get up early to take a seat with a sunbed, you can negotiate with a mattress pad and it will fill you up with a seat. You just need to leave him your towel and give him a tip or bring something from the bar)
We did not experiment with this, as we ourselves got up and hurried to admire the sea.
All in all, my husband and I were positive. All the minuses are forgotten, but vivid impressions of Tunisia remain. Before going there, I re-read many sites and reviews and I was not very upset by the chaos that they were doing. Of course it's annoying, but what can you do! This is Africa!
