I'll start with the bad: the tour operator Oasis, which carries to Tunisia, is a nightmare and horror, if there is an alternative, be sure to choose another tour operator. The same applies to Bravo airways: flights are regularly delayed, old "killed" planes.
Weather: Tunisia is not Egypt. Strong winds are very common, in June the sea is cold no higher than 21C. It is better to fly to Monastir not earlier than the second half of June, when the weather becomes warm and not in August (full of jellyfish).
Sea: transparent, but a lot of algae and jellyfish (strongly bite).
Beach: all beaches are public, very dirty, around pieces of paper, cigarette butts, garbage. The hotel beach is separated from this horror by a small rope, but it is cleaner (an oasis among the garbage). The beach is sandy, with small children super. The reef, which is on the beach, is good only from afar. It is completely "occupied" by local divers, and there is a lot of garbage, like everywhere else.

Hotel: rooms for a solid four, but this is if you are accommodated in the Dolphin, and not in the neighboring Habit 3 star hotel. Our brother is being fooled by offering $5. per day a room with a sea view, and if you do not agree, they give a number in the top three. But if you are indignant, everything can be solved even without additional payment. The hotel smokes everywhere, this is a feature of the local population, which is very annoying. There are 2 pools, there are also for the smallest ones, slides, animation are also present. The food is not bad, no frills, but meat, fish, vegetables and fruits are full.
General conclusion: you can go to the hotel, the main thing is not to miscalculate with the weather.
