The hotel is a 5-minute bus ride or a 15-minute walk from the airport, but it doesn’t interfere at all, at least it didn’t bother us, my husband even liked watching the planes, at first it was fun for me too, and then I stopped paying attention to them attention. Before going on an excursion where you want to buy souvenirs, I would advise you to take a walk to the airport and find out the prices for them there, something is cheaper there, and you will still have to change dinars back to dollars or euros at a not very favorable rate. It is also not far from both Sousse and Monastir, and you can go there and there by metro (the station is not far from the hotel, 0.5 dinars one way), by fixed-route taxi or by taxi. We went to Sousse to the Medina on fixed-route taxi, for an hour, for 1 dinar per person round trip, this trip was offered at the hotel, but so that the hotel staff did not know : ). The three of us (three adults) rested, we were first settled in a one-room suite, small, the windows overlooked some kind of garden, but it was very difficult to call it a garden, a couple of palm trees and that's it. there is dust on the shelves in the closet. "Well, it's understandable, I think - we were specially settled here so that we would go back to the reception and agree on the best room for the baksheesh. " And so it turned out, we paid extra $ 20 (be sure to bargain, because our cost started at $ 100) and got a two-story room, with the most beautiful view from the windows, one window overlooked the sea, the other overlooked the entire territory of the hotel, animators' performances can be was to watch from the balcony of the room sipping a drink bought in the Dutik. In the hotel, only beer is more or less normal from alcohol, other drinks are very diluted. But for those who have everything inclusive, you can drink them until 3 at night (from 12 to 3 at the disco). The room has a TV with two Russian channels, a mini bar (empty), a safe, but without a key : ), you need to pay for it, and still leave a deposit of 20 dinars. The bathroom has a hair dryer, towels, shampoo and shower gel. When we ran out of gel and shampoo, no one deigned to bring them, when I asked them for a young lady who cleans the room, she said okay, but never brought it. Some kind of idiocy. I took it with me from home. Another joke, in the dining room food in 2 shifts: for breakfast from 6 to 10 you can come at any time during this period, but to have lunch and dinner, you need to choose the time at which you will come, they were allotted for an hour, t . e. you can have lunch from 12:30 to 13:30 or from 13:30 to 14:30, have dinner from 18:30 to 19:30 or from 19:30 to 20:30, the time you choose is recorded and a table is assigned to you, if you come at the wrong time, your table will be busy. The choice of food is very poor, although again, it’s like anyone, my husband always came with a full plate, and adored their soups : ). Very tasty fish is grilled, I think trout or cod, I don’t remember, it is boneless and so juicy and soft. The pastries are just wonderful, the creams in the cakes are not cloying. Fruits were ordinary: melons, plums, apples, pears, peaches, grapes.
Beach: not very clean, there are a lot of people who smoke, and there are very few ashtrays, so there are a lot of cigarette butts, but the sand is wonderful white-white, small-small, the sea, when we were, was calm, clean, sandy bottom, so nice for children are very good, near the beach it’s small, they can splash around in plenty. Sunbeds and mattresses are free, there are no beach beds. All water activities are paid, but as I said, be sure to bargain, the indicated price does not mean anything. the level of animation is not very high, a lot of things were repeated from hotels in Turkey, Egypt and Morocco, the guys from their group really like to dress up in large-bust ladies and walk along the beach in this form, somehow it was not very funny for me to look at the painted guy in a wig and evening dress sweating in 40 degree heat. But of course they try. They are just starting to say something in Russian (How are you? Good? I don’t want to? ), although it’s strange because the majority of Russians are in the hotel. A few more Ukrainians, Poles, Slovaks, French, etc.
In general, we are not going there to look at the hotel, but to be distracted from working everyday life, enjoy the sun and the sea, and there is plenty of that. If we had nothing to compare with, then this hotel seemed to us just wonderful. And so, of course, a solid C grade.
