We rested in "Amir Palace" 5 *. It is next to IBEROSTAR SAHARA 3*. We decided to take a walk along the coast and look into neighboring hotels because our hotel did not correspond to 5 * (we decided that Amir Palace probably received five stars for the friendship of the owner of the hotel - the sheikh with the president of Tunisia), we decided to compare it with other hotels. it was not difficult to enter the territory of other hotels from the shore. The coast of all hotels is the same, sunbeds, too, the sea, respectively, too. Having entered the territory of IBEROSTAR SAHARA 3 *, we immediately noted that it is cooler here, a beautiful pool, green territory, the complex itself is much newer, the audience is different, both young people and adults, the atmosphere is very pleasant, passing through the central building we got to a shopping street on the territory of the hotel, the bars are huge!! ! plasma. The climax was when we left the hotel lobby to read the name and star rating. We were sure that there were 5 stars, but... it turned out to be 3. We couldn’t get into the dinner and the hotel room : ))) Having returned to Kyiv, we decided to look at the cost of the tour at IBEROSTAR SAHARA and it turned out that it was about $ 80-100 more expensive. We take responsibility and rate everything at "5", but food and service are rated in absentia. Conclusion: stardom in Tunisia is assigned in some strange way.
About the sea. There are no jellyfish in September. But the sea is slightly stormy and throws out all sorts of algae that no one is in a hurry to clean up, and because of this it is unrealistic to go into the sea. For this reason, the last 2 days were swimming in the pool.
P. S. I won't go to Tunisia again. It's not worth the money, and there's not much to see there. Palm trees and camels - all exotic. Everything is expensive, the people are poor, but the roads in the tourist area are good and relatively clean in principle (not India : )))). On the plane upon arrival in Kyiv, when the phones turned on and people began to chat perkyly, we heard enthusiastic exclamations of "Oh, how wonderful, wonderful, magnificent, chic, just super... not only we looked with surprise at these enthusiastic holidays...
