Visiting time 22.05. 2011-02.06. 2011. Company 10 people (from 3.5 to 55 years old, including 23-26 years old)
for the last 3 years, the 14th trip abroad (Egypt 10 times, Turkey 3 times).
TOUR OPERATOR, FLIGHT, TRANSFER. bought a tour more than a month from "Biblioglobus" in a completely different hotel (Karibian in Hammamet), after 2 weeks (! ) They reported that the hotel would be closed until June 12 and offered either a replacement or a refund. And the prices were completely different. Rebooked to this hotel at early booking prices (thanks for that too! ). The hotel guide Lyudmila (quite normal), in case of not purchasing excursions, is still friendly. A / c "Transaero" (everything is fine, sat down in Enfid in general, like clockwork). Travel time - 4 hours. Enfidha Airport (new, large, not many people). Transfer to the hotel -1 hour.

ACCOMMODATION, ROOMS. Until June 2, the NASSAU buildings were still closed, so everyone was settled in CANCUN (building 2, building 1 (the one closest to the sea was also closed, but they were actively preparing). The rooms are very simple, towels are changed. Cleaning is carried out. No minibar, no water either. Safe paid 2 dinars per day. Very brutal mosquitoes (fumitox does not work). Sprays help. Only liquid soap.
NUTRITION. Breakfast is poor (every day the same). Lunches and dinners are a little more varied, with the revival of the hotel food has increased a little. Fruits-oranges (end), apricots, peaches, nectarines (not all together, but 2 types of fruit each). In the snack bar (by the pool) - fries, pasta, ice cream. Yupi juices. were in three restaurants a la carte (Chinese, Indian, Tunisian). Slightly modified food from the main restaurant.
BEACH, POOL. Well, this is probably the biggest disappointment. For 12 days the beach was not cleaned once. on the shore and in the sea is full of algae, glass comes across in the sand (rarely). Maybe the season will change? Once a dead turtle washed up on the shore. The water is about 20 degrees, on some days it seemed to be warmer. The pool is huge, the slides work, but the water is cold. There are fewer mattresses than sunbeds. There are very intrusive sellers on the beach (fortunately they are forbidden to approach sunbeds), you can ride a horse or a camel.
ANIMATION. It exists and whoever wants to participate in it can do it. There are many tennis courts (free of charge), on the beach (if you look at the sea - on the right) there are free kayaks and a board with a sail, a catamaran 10 din. at one o'clock. There is a disco. June 1 opened "Bibliosha" (children's club on the beach), children without parents are accepted from 5 years old.
THE INTERNET. There is a room behind the reception. There is only one hotel computer, and 3 sockets for the Internet (take your laptop and cord) and there will be no problems.
THE MEDICINE. But this is - pleased. A doctor's appointment (an older man speaks very good Russian) and ALL medicines are absolutely free. contacted twice, they helped us. Thanks!

PRICES. $100 = 135.5 TD (the rate is the same everywhere, so you can change it at the hotel). 1TD=21 rub. Taxi to Monastir 8-10 TD, To Sousse 5-7 TD. Horse in Follu (shopping center nearby) - 3TD. Magnets 1-4 TD. Bags 20-200 TD. Olive oil from 6 TD per liter. Bus 0.66 TD (to Monastir or Sousse), minibus 1 TD. Fresh (orange) in the hotel 2.5 TD, in the city 2.5-3 TD, coffee - 2.5-3TD. Sun protection means of Nivea, Loreal 25-30 TD (if you try hard you can find 15, but I don’t remember where I saw it), local 12-15TD. Tipping 1-2-3 dinars. Excursion to the Sahara - 165 TD (did not go, just read on the information board "Biblio".
CONCLUSION (my personal) If I return to Tunisia, then to another place and for very little money. (This time a ticket for two for 12 days cost 35.000). This is something between Turkey and Egypt, rather Egypt without the sea, well, these Arabs are less arrogant than in Egypt. If you are used to relaxing in very good hotels, most likely you won’t like it here, this is a resort for an unassuming tourist, and you won’t need evening dresses here, our youth were bored (maybe it’s different if the hotel is more occupied). Well, if you have already purchased vouchers - get positive: "Relax, don't work! ", sunscreen (burnt, smearing 50th), blouses (Tunisia met us with rain and 15C) and go! We make our own holidays! Good luck!
