We decided to go to Tunisia at the end of September, as we got tired of the city heat over the summer. I wanted a comfortable temperature and warm sea. But Tunisia met us with a strong hurricane and heavy rain. And for 10 days there was terrible weather for several days. The wind from the sea brought algae and debris, the edge of the beach turned into a dump, which was useless to clean up, although they tried.
Now in order. There are no complaints about Azur-air and Anex-tour. Everything was clear and without delay almost. Thanks for the coordinated work.
The hotel itself is a solid pompous building with a glass dome and columns. The contingent is the French, Germans, Poles and Czechs. Russians, thank God, are few. Retirees, young couples with children. The audience is educated and pleasant. The atmosphere in the hotel is very inviting. Tunisians, unlike the Egyptians, are friendly and not arrogant people. Nobody asks for Baksheesh.

Wifi is very weak. We were only able to contact the family via viber once. I had to buy a local SIM card for $10. And it is very strange in our time that there is no normal Internet connection.
The territory is small, but green and clean. The beach is also nice, probably in season. But the sea is shallow. Ebb and flow. Fans of swimming are clearly not here.
The rooms are standard. Cosmetic repairs, furniture is strong. The bathroom has outdated tiles and fixtures. First, we (me, daughter and grandson 3.5) were given a room without a balcony, where the window rested against the wall. The next day they changed. But it turned out that at night there was an open disco under the windows. We did not sleep half the night, we moved to the third room. But then the disco was canceled, because in the morning foreigners made a scandal. They didn't sleep either. In general, Tunisians give preference to the French. All are fluent in French. Former colony. But if you are friendly and say a few words in French, then the attitude will be wonderful. Although we are not talking about rudeness in relation to ours.
As for the kitchen. There was a lot of meat. Even a rabbit. But often harsh. It seems that the cook did not have the patience to stew and boil everything well. However, you could choose. Try to take meat without bones. Anything with bones is hard. There were practically no fish and seafood. And this is strange for a sea country. There is no separate children's menu as such. And this is also a miscalculation.
In general, if you are lucky with the weather, then a good option for a relaxing holiday. Children are good here too. Yellow sand, shallow sea.
But if you are unlucky with the weather - it does not matter. You can go to Sousse. There is nothing to do in Monastir. In the evenings, the animators organized dance evenings in the large hall. Everyone danced, even pensioners. The animation is excellent, and there were entertainments for children, and for people of all ages.
The hotel as a whole pulls for its 4 stars. But with a little effort and not so much money, you can make the hotel much better. The hotel has good potential.
