Посредственно mediocre

We took off from Sheremetyevo on August 24 with the company "Northern Wind". We flew for about 5 hours. Upon arrival in Tunisia, at the exit from the plane, the flight attendants issued migration cards, which, as best they could, filled out at the airport. Although if it were humanly possible to give these cards during the flight, then it would be possible to fill them in calmly, without fussing.
The tour was bought from the company "Pegas Touristik" and therefore we were not surprised that, having found our bus at the airport, we were offered to load our suitcases into the luggage compartment of the bus ourselves. We got to the hotel quickly, about 10 minutes and just as quickly unloaded our things ourselves.
At the hotel, in the conference hall, they filled out registration cards and lined up at the reception. Having stood in line, we were put on bracelets, given the keys to the room and the safe, and showed us the approximate direction to our room. Taking our suitcases, we went to look for our room, which is not very easy to do in this hotel.

I was very pleased that the elevator did not work (this is a daily problem) it was nice to warm up on the stairs after the plane. After wandering through the corridors of a hospital terribly reminiscent of the 60s, we finally found our number (1232). In a room with ancient furniture, a brand new mini-fridge and TV somehow looked ridiculous. Turning on the air conditioner, we made sure that it had not been showing signs of life for a long time, which we tried to report on a non-working phone. In the end, I had to postpone the dismantling of the suitcase and go to the reception for disassembly. There we were told that in 15 minutes a technician would come to us and fix everything. at the end of the 40th minute of waiting, we ourselves had to go to the reception again. Soon we were lucky to see the technician. He busily removed the cover from the switch and began to pick at the grille of the air conditioner. After another 15 minutes, he gave up and left.
Once again explaining at the reception that our air conditioner is not working, they decided to send their man from the reception. After another 20 minutes, we stood at the reception and decided what to do. Since there were no available rooms, we were told to come the next day by 8 am and we will be moved to another room. We agreed to spend the night in this room and decided to go to a bar on the way. Having stood in line at the bar, I immediately remembered Gorbachev's times. In the evenings there is always such a queue. Only here the booze is not worth it, which consists mainly of ice, and the rest will fit as much as possible. The next morning at 8 am we were already at the reception. Seeing at the reception a completely different chicken, which does not speak Russian at all (by the way, she is the main one there), we immediately became alert. With difficulty understanding each other, she told us to come tomorrow at 8 am. Hotel managers also did not help to resolve the situation.
Realizing that this could continue until the end of the holiday, we decided to unpack our suitcase and stay in this room. The room was overlooking the entrance to the hotel, on the left unfinished building. At night, if you do not close the balcony, then until 3 am you will listen from neighboring hotels. The first day at the hotel it's hard to get used to the smell of bleach coming from the pool, towels, sheets and tap water. The room was cleaned and changed shampoos, toilet paper, drinking water every day. Sometimes prada did not succeed all at once, they can first change one set of towels, then shampoos, then bring in the sheets, and so on throughout the day. It seems to me that this is due to the fact that the elevator constantly breaks down. At night, ants and cockroaches can be found in the toilet. If you don't like it, don't go to the bathroom at night. The food is good, although monotonous. Once there were shrimp for dinner, and the next day there was porridge with shrimp heads. In the process, nothing is lost here.
Of the fruits were watermelons, melons, grapes, apples. Just do not think that such a selection of fruits at a time. Usually there was one kind of fruit, maybe two.

The pool bar offers soft drinks and beer. From 11:00.16:00 there is ice cream. The animators are very good. It is very close to the sea, you can also eat on a horse. The beach is dirty. Many will say that tourists themselves pig there, but I have been to many beaches and I will say that tourists everywhere pig the same way, only the beaches are cleaned in different ways. Sometimes there is a lot of algae, but you need to catch the moment when they do not exist. Jellyfish have never bitten me, although it happened to some, but this is not critical. You can take a tomato at the bar and rub the bite, after which it goes away. Judging by the hotel guides, tourists are so tired of them that they work just to get rid of the tourists. Once they took an excursion on ATVs.
Silently they took the money, wrote out a receipt, did not even bother to explain what to take with them. and an excursion with English tourists. Upon arrival at the place, we were offered to buy bandages for the face for 3 dinars, because dust is strong there. But the Russians don't care about the dust, because no one warned them to take the money. In the middle of the ATV ride there is a stop where you can buy water for money, but we are Russians and we are not thirsty. Also, at the end of the trip, they offer to buy photos for 5 dinars, which is what the British do. Thanks to the hotel guides, Russians, like chmoshniki, stand on the sidelines. In the end, these pictures were already offered for 1 dinar, but we didn’t have such a trifle with us. Thanks to the hotel guides Yaroslava and Altynai! They explain everything in more detail to those who take more expensive vouchers from them, for example, to the Sahara, and 40 bucks quad bike vouchers for them are trifles that are not worth exchanging.
Also from the hotel you can go to the city of Monastir by taxi or bus 52 (the ticket costs 660 local kopecks). There you can go to the Medina, go shopping, since the bus runs every 30 minutes. Himself proudly dirty, but you can see.
If we judge that they paid 30.000 for a ticket for two for a week, then we can say that the vacation was a success.
