As always, don't trust reviews 
1. We flew with Nouvelair. Staff - not a word in Russian. Fill out the migration card in English. Save the spine (you will need it on the way back). Flight 3.5 hours. Back 3 – we had UIA.
2. Chose between Chems El Hana and Hannibal Palace. We chose the latter and have never regretted it. The experience of Turkey and Egypt, both 4 and 5. Therefore, they did not expect something chic. The transfer took 40 minutes.
3. Location. In general, the hotel is old, but very dimensional. The territory is huge - not guarded (Security is only on the street at the reception. Nearby there is everything - the port, the General store, the amusement park, the Metallika disco, a number of coffee establishments and the center of Sousse 15 minutes by taxi (5 dinars). The course is $ 1 - 1.8TD.

4. Beach. He is there! Sun beds are free and there are few of them - you need to borrow in advance and they are until 6 pm. You can also lie down on the sand, but it is wet almost all day. Since this is a port, the sea is clear until lunchtime, then algae begin....there are small jellyfish, but they sting very much !! ! Don't be lazy to walk along the coastline.
5. Nutrition. Generally 3+. But we had enough. This is the same thing, it will be worse in Egypt. In principle, you can take breakfast + dinner, and buy water and tea separately - it's all very inexpensive. There will be nothing good in an all inc hotel. In the dining room, take better disposable cups. Fruits will not be enough (such is the mentality of Russians : ), the waiters will circle around you in order to earn 1 dinar.
6. Excursions. Be sure to Sahara - about $ 170 / person for 2 days !!! ! Unforgettable experience! You will not regret! Carthage + Sibi Bou Said + Tunisia - also nothing. They say the evening of the laser show is also okay, but we didn't get there.
7. Service. Swimming pool from 10 to 6 pm. a bar next to it from 10 to 4 pm, then the second bar in the building opens. The animation is designed for a week, and we were told that this one is the best in the area. They have never been, but people who do not find themselves in terms of a “tour around the country” do what they sit at bars and drink culturally....Disco from 12 midnight until morning - all the locals come. Saturdays - foamy. Room (442) was lovely with a sea view with everything working inside - of course we paid extra $20: cleaning every day, towels a little miserable but clean.
8. Get ready, the majority of the population knows Arabic and French, so sometimes you can’t prove anything with English))). There are a lot of French, Tunisian Arabs, Poles, Russians, Serbs, even the British among the vacationers) they heard their native Ukrainian speech at the end of the holiday)))
9. Of course, we paid $800/person for the hotel - maybe a bit expensive, but we don't regret it! The main thing is to go with a positive attitude! As we began to laugh on the plane - so we were on the lung and the whole vacation passed! A sea of ​ ​ impressions! I liked the country! I want to go back…. . good luck to everyone and add YOUR opinion about hotels and countries! Travel! )))
