We rested from May 11 with a baby 1 year and 11 months old.
First we were at the Eden Club Hotel (my review about it is here), and then immediately after it we went to Bella Vista. We drove by taxi ourselves. It took about 15 minutes. I gave 5 dinars (100 rubles).
When I arrived, I explained that I needed a room in a quiet place. They took me to the room after 15 minutes and saw a staircase without a ramp, it was not convenient with a stroller. I didn’t extort any money. Having looked at the number, I realized that I was in a fairy tale.
The room is divided by a glass partition into 2 parts. The door in the glass partition opens with an accordion. There are drawings on the marine theme on the glass. and body milk, there is soap. (They were replenished every day). There is a hairdryer.
The toilet is separate, with good plumbing.
There is a refrigerator. TV.

There are 2 beds and 2 bedside tables, a mirror, a chair and a shelf. Further, behind the glass partition there is a sofa and an armchair and from there there is access to a large balcony and a stunning view of the sea! The noise of the waves was so strong that it seemed that it was 10 meters from the sea ( it was 100 meters from the sea). Very quiet because this building does not go to the pool, but to the bar by the sea (and then to the back, so to speak) -beauty! Silence! Relax!
The hotel is very beautiful. There is a porter at the entrance. Beautiful reception. Comfortable sofas, a fountain at the entrance to the hotel and in the lobby. There is free WI-FI in the reception lobby.
Lots of nice seating in the lobby. Royal. Live music in the restaurant.
I was amazed by the children's clubs and the team of animators from Poland in the amount of 40 people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was struck by the presence of good and varied toys in mini-clubs. There were 3 mini-clubs. Children differ in age. We went to a small one and a Golandsky one. a game where you need to insert multi-colored circles between 2 partitions. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it there in stores, but I didn’t see this in Russia... A very nice woman animator played very well with her son.
Each miniclub has toilets for children with small toilets. Everything is nice and very clean.
In the Dutch club, they give strollers to carry children for free. All new strollers, such as McLaren canes, also give tricycles, inflatable children's pools, inflatable balls, immediately on the day of arrival, the child is put on the club's branded T-shirt and write his name through a stencil so that all children get to know each other faster . All this, as I already wrote, is free.
The kids club has a TV and good cartoons on DVD. We came with our stroller and our balls, but they even let us into the Dutch club, they let us play with toys, we also watched cartoons with children. I didn’t see any difference that we were from Russia . There were mostly only Dutch children there.
By the way, there were no Russians there at all - we were alone, and at the end of the holiday another family arrived from Moscow.
The attitude is excellent. I used Arabic words and everyone was glad to see me. Nobody got it. day get)
Water slides worked from 9 am to 19 pm!! ! Without a break!

For those who are interested, what is the difference between 3 and 4 star hotels, I write below. Let everyone choose for himself what is a plus and what is a minus.
Comparisons with the Eden Club Hotel:
In Bella Vista, the water in the indoor pool is not as hot as it was in the Eden Club and I didn’t really like it, because if you don’t swim, it’s cool, the kid doesn’t swim very fast in a vest.
The rooms here are more beautiful than in Eden, but in principle everything is the same. Baths are everywhere. Rooms up to the 3rd floor with green paths in the corridor are one-room, on the 4th floor with red paths, they are separated by a glass partition (we had one. Room 5004.4 floor) .
There are lifts. There are no lifts in Eden.
There is a playground here: a house with a slide, a slide, 2 swings, 2 trampolines, a bouncy castle, a tunnel. There was no playground in Eden - one castle with a rope.
There are water slides here and there, but in Eden it is more interesting and there are more slides, they just worked by the hour (as usual).
Of the fruits were peaches, apricots, watermelon, oranges and melons (May 11), in Eden only melons, oranges, dates, apples.
Strawberries were not given anywhere, although in the city it costs 1 dinar everywhere (20 rubles 1 kg! )
There was rice porridge for breakfast (there was no porridge).
Here, yogurts were only draft. In Eden, they were in bags - very tasty: vanilla, peach, strawberry and not sweet.
There is more food than in the Eden club, but I liked the food there more, there was less of it, but it was tastier and the pastries were more and tastier in Eden.
There is a separate room for children in the restaurant - small tables and chairs. I didn’t watch food, we ate at a common table with a high chair.
The reception is prettier here, but Eden also has a lot of cozy sofas and armchairs, but there is no fountain.
But in Eden, the doors are on photocells - which is very convenient with a stroller - you don’t have to open it with one hand and go with the stroller. Here I had to open everything myself.
I really liked the waiters, but they are good in all these hotels. Very attentive.

My baby always sleeps during lunch, and I put him to bed, went to lunch, quickly ate stewed vegetables and fruits (my personal diet) and surfed the Internet (I have a phone with built-in WI-FI-NOKIA N 79-I ADVISE EVERYONE) . The kid didn't wake up even once.
Our regimen was this: we woke up at 7 am, immediately went to breakfast and then immediately to the beach.
At 11-30 we went home, washed, I fed the baby with yoghurts and after 5 minutes he slept with me (I timed it, sometimes 3, sometimes 4 minutes
He slept for 3 hours. From 12 to 15. Sometimes even until 15-30! (In St. Petersburg he never sleeps for more than an hour and a half)
I woke up, ate what I brought, played at home for half an hour and went to the miniclub, then played on the playground, sometimes, when it was cool, we swam in the indoor pool.
Sometimes they ate pancakes that are baked on the street after dinner or ate on the street in a bar - there is normal food - and not one fries and salad, as, for example, in beach bars in Egypt.
At 19 o'clock we went to dinner, then walked on the playground, then in a stroller around the hotel and fed the cats.
A couple of times they violated the regime and went to children's animation, but it starts already at 20-30, and in St. Petersburg it is already 23-30!!!!!!!!!! ! Very late! , and for this I did not want to bring down the regime.
At 20-30 I put to bed. After 10 minutes I was already asleep. So did I.
I didn’t accustom the regimen. It turned out on its own. I noticed that it’s more convenient for me and the baby.
At home, we also try to adhere to the regime, but at home it doesn’t always work out, but here everything just coincided up to a minute!
Cleaned the room perfectly-every day they cleaned the floor and changed the towels.

We went on an excursion to the Phrygia zoo. Only 30 dinars (600 rubles). This money included a round-trip transfer and a ticket to the zoo. Very beautiful. We took a lot of pictures. My son was delighted. mountain. Difficult, but it's worth it. Animals are all in open wattlers: zebras, giraffes, elephants, antelopes, tigers, crocodiles, walruses, ostriches, in general, a lot of things. My son liked antelopes and meerkats the most because they ate apricots very funny which we fed them. The guide told us to take fruits to feed the animals - only fruits, not cookies.
I recommend the zoo to everyone!
There are many restaurants, toilets, cafes at every step. We all went around in 2 hours. It takes an hour to get to the zoo from the hotel.
The airport was right in front of the hotel, but strangely enough, we didn’t hear the planes. They took off in the other direction and the noise of the murya interfered. So it’s not a minus that the hotel is near the airport. .
Now my adventures with olive oil.
I bought oil. For myself, my mother, mother-in-law and girlfriends. I took 10 liters away, and my guide took 10 liters from me.
The guide is a separate song. A strange person. He never showed up. We ourselves arrived from another hotel because at first we rested from April 30 to May 11 at the Eden Club Hotel, and from May 11 at this hotel. I took a ticket in St. Petersburg in the company Online tour with Arina's manager. Arina made me a wonderful tour and sent me tickets by e-mail. Here they printed them out for me at the reception desk for free. thanks to her light hand and diligence! It's nice when there are people who do their job so conscientiously because, for example, my guide Amer is an unscrupulous worker. He NEVER appeared at the hotel and I was just miraculously lucky that I met another Russian-speaking guide and I bought an excursion to the zoo from her. Guide Alice from Coral Travel is a wonderful person!
The funny thing is that I was told to pay for the overweight of the stroller (although the stroller generally comes with a separate weight, but then everyone was told to pay for the stroller, though no one paid and the strollers were taken away from everyone anyway, but of course the nerves were frayed). I turned to Amar for help with this strange overweight because both my ticket and the ticket for my son had 20 kg of baggage each.
We thought where she would go, and even with a child, she would pay. They counted me 170 euros!

Olive oil costs only 100 rubles 1 liter. In St. Petersburg, the cheapest is 250 rubles 1 liter. We cook only with olive oil. Almost everyone brought oil.
The guide stood and drank coffee. He didn’t want to go anywhere to help, he didn’t want to figure it out. Then I told him that I would complain about him - he never showed up at the hotel, and now he doesn’t want to help me. landing. I had a suitcase and 2 small plastic bags - one with toys, the other with diapers (a lot is left). The bags are light. I packed them in a wrapping film and wanted to put them in luggage.
Amer said that if I give him money, he will negotiate cheaper than 170 euros. they themselves brought the bags to passport control - well done - they brought it and left! The guide took 2 canisters of oil - I thought to help me, like they did, and when I began to go through passport control, he simply did not give me the package where these 10 liters of oil were! that this is the COMPANY'S OWN! Fun!!!!! ! We were sorting out our luggage for a very long time and almost everyone had already boarded, so I got excited and went too, but went up to the guide and took out a can of strawberry jam (1 kg) from my bag of butter costs only 40 rubles. I took his sweet-sweet daughter as a gift) - you should have seen how he clutched at MY package !!!! ! Laughter and nothing more!
When I arrived in St. Petersburg, I began to correspond with the guide. At first, he wrote to me that he would not give the oil back, and when I wrote to him that he was an unscrupulous worker and just a thief and I wouldn’t leave it like that, he got scared and wrote that he would give it to tourists. Arina promised to help.
We were lucky with the weather. It was +30.2 cloudy days and 1 rainy day, but we went shopping that day and I bought leather bags. Prices from 10 dinars (200 rubles) for a small one and up to 200 dinars for a huge one. The quality is different. Good ones cost from 25 dinars. I bought in Sousse in the Sola center and Monastir in the Fola center.
In general, the rest was a success despite the trouble with the oil!
I would happily return to both of these hotels.
