In Tunisia for the first time, before that there were several times in Turkey and Egypt. The hotel was chosen on a last minute trip, they wanted to see a new country, so they are more satisfied with the hotel than dissatisfied. Value for money corresponds, although much needs to be improved.
Let's start with the positives ; )
Wonderful large well-groomed territory of the hotel, all in greenery and flowers! If we compare the three in Turkey and this one, then this is heaven and earth, in Turkey there is no territory as such in the three!
Magical clear sea. Closer to dinner, it begins to shimmer with beautiful shades of turquoise (I have never seen anything like this before!! ) A great place for families with children, since the sea is far shallow. Sandy beach, quite clean. I personally saw how they clean it with a rake in the morning, of course, it would be better with a seeder machine, but... )) There are enough sunbeds and mattresses, but there is not enough shade from umbrellas (some of them are small).
Excellent food, I liked it. There was always meat for lunch and dinner: beef and turkey, as well as at least two types of fish. They baked very tasty pizza, gave ice cream for lunch, watermelon and melon every day. Very tasty pilaf, stewed vegetables, and grilled vegetables are delicious)) There was enough of everything, they quickly brought it up if it ended. And despite the huge number of people (the hotel was full), there was never such a thing. to miss some of the dishes. We once came 10 minutes before the end of breakfast, there was no yogurt, I asked and immediately brought it))
Very close to the airport, across the road, convenient that you do not need to take a long bus ride after the flight. We went to the airport to change dollars, where the exchange rate was higher than at the hotel. Near the city of Monastir (10 minutes by bus or metro). The price is 0.55 dinars (1 dollar - 2.87 dinars). I liked the town, you can take a walk: we were in the mausoleum, the fortress, on the embankment and went to the market. Buy fruits only in Monastir (we bought in the General and Monoprix markets), since the difference in price with the merchants on the beach is almost 10 times!!! ! On the beach, grapes are 20-25 dinars, in the market 3.29 dinars kg)) Fig peaches are very tasty, small ones generally bought for 1.7 dinars, large ones for 2.5 dinars))
Now the cons. . .
I’ll start with the smell, we were greeted by this terrible smell even at the gangway of the plane (I assume that there is a dump somewhere nearby, and if the wind is from land, then it’s not even audible on the beach. Although some people I talked to said they didn’t hear anything)) this stink Lasted for a day, then disappeared
We (three adults) were placed in a double room and a cot was delivered. It was not possible to achieve a normal number, for all one answer - "tomorrow madam" (nerves were more expensive and enjoyed the sea). Everything is fine in the room, the bathroom is separate, the air conditioner worked, at night it is possible without it, with an open balcony. In general, the evenings were quite comfortable, it was not hot, after 18:00 you can safely sunbathe without umbrellas. And you can stay at the sea as long as you want (the beach does not close, unlike Egypt), the attendants are on the beach even late at night, the patrol goes every day. Cleaning every day (but it’s hard to call it cleaning, it seems to me that the floor was not washed)) the technician does not understand Russian and English : / Towels were changed every day, the garbage was taken out and sprinkled with flavoring)))
The linen is old and the towels are just gray, it's time to change the mattress.
In the dining room, the dishes were not washed (this was very indignant, I washed it myself with napkins (((and the tablecloths were lucky, there weren’t always enough cutlery for lunch, you had to wait until they brought it in the same way and you had to wait for the table like in McDonald’s))) Machine with cola-fanta one, the line is huge. . .
The attitude of the staff is disgusting, especially at the bar !! ! they pretend that they don’t understand and that you are not there, first of all they serve the locals. You need to be just as brazen to them, I did it badly.
A lot of locals came for the weekend and for the evening, they were not allowed on our beach (well, except for those who lived in our hotel), but there is a distance of 10 meters between the beaches of the hotels - that's where they were located, and ran across the beach in crowds, in the evening after 20:00 they frolicked a lot, sang, danced. It was a little uncomfortable, but everything is fine)
The Internet - you can say it is not there)))) but this is probably more a plus for me)) the main thing was to call my relatives once a day, that's enough.
That's all) It's up to you to decide what will outweigh the pros or cons more. I know for sure that this sea will be remembered with admiration for a long time, everything else will be forgotten))
