We rested from 17 to 27 June. The first 2 days of stay in Tunisia were shocking! But now, in general, I can say that we had a good rest. I'll tell you about the pros and cons, maybe it will help someone decide whether to go or not.
We were a large group of 4 adults and 2 children.
The first unpleasant sensation was a meeting with Tunisian customs officers. Who do not speak not only in Russian, but even in English. When they begin to say something to you in Arabic with an evil face and poke at documents, you feel, to put it mildly, unpleasant.
In general, it is difficult to communicate there, even with knowledge of English. Sometimes you have to explain yourself almost on your fingers, although over time it becomes even funny : ))
We were seated fairly quickly. The rooms are not luxurious, but comfortable enough. The room was cleaned once a day.

The staff, if you don't need anything from them : ), is very friendly. Cleaners, security guards, waiters, all smiling, always say hello. Almost everyone knows the standard set of phrases in several languages: hello, how are you, etc.
The next unpleasant moment was the sea. The first couple of days of our stay were strong waves, the sea was dirty, mountains of algae, furious jellyfish. There was no limit to disappointment! But all the remaining days the sea was calm and very clean. True, the children were still afraid to go into the sea because of the jellyfish, so they splashed in the pools. There are several pools - there are sea and fresh water. The territory of the hotel is huge and very beautiful.
We flew on a perchute over the sea and saw our hotel from a bird's eye view - I think it is the most beautiful in the area, and the feeling of flying is super. I advise everyone.
I really liked the animation. The guys are just great! Children adored them and "clusters" hung on them. In general, we did not see them rest. During the day, dance lessons, aqua aerobics, various games were held, in the evening - a disco for children and a show for adults. We tried to come up with something new every time (although sometimes the numbers were repeated).
But there were problems with food. The buffet is quite varied, but not very tasty. After a couple of days you start to miss our kitchen. The children were not fed at all. The cakes were very tasty, though I got poisoned by one of them on the 3rd day : ))
We went to the city of Sousse to the market. I do not advise! Tunisia is really a dirty country, and it is better not to leave the hotel area so as not to spoil the impression. Although on the way from the airport, still see enough : ). We bought souvenirs at the hotel, there are shops near the water park. Maybe in the city you can buy cheaper, but I assure you "the game is not worth the candle. " And in these stores, too, you can bargain. By the way, on Sundays, the bazaar comes to the hotel, so again, it makes no sense to go to the city.
In general, if not for a few minuses, the rest could be called excellent. But maybe not everything is perfect : )
