We rested at the hotel from 29.07. 08 to 06.08. 08.
The hotel is cozy, well-groomed in oriental style. In general, we have no complaints about the improvement of the rooms and premises of the hotel. We stayed as a group of three in a triple room. The room is cozy and not small, as it used to be in Turkey. Room cleaning -every day, tips (1 dinar) very much stimulated the maid, the bed was changed 3 times in 7 nights. Towels are always clean.
The hotel area is small - the area in front of the stage for an evening performance with a large number of tables and a bar, 2 swimming pools (in my opinion, 25 meters in length), I can’t assess the presence of sunbeds in sufficient numbers because I didn’t rest by the pools. Showers and toilets are available both by the pools and on the beach. In general, everything on the territory is sold for recreation. On the other side of the hotel (from the main entrance) in a separate building there is a disco bar (discotheques from 23 to 3 nights daily except Mon). On the territory there is also a shooting range, mini-golf, slot machines. In the hotel building itself (it is very large) there is a lobby bar and a bar overlooking the pools, as well as a hookah bar, a spa center, a shop, a beauty salon, etc.

I liked everything on the beach: there are enough sunbeds (for free), but they are engaged by the sea from dawn (and not by tourists from the CIS, but by Germans, Serbs, etc. , they themselves watched how the beach caretaker (for a fee, I think so) occupied sunbeds when we admired the sunrise), a bar on the beach as usual (soft drinks, beer, and at lunch pizza, french fries, etc. ) On the beach, even such a trifle as shoe racks and a foot wash were thought out so as not to put sand on the hotel. The sand on the beach is really excellent little white quartz. Non-motorized boats (kayaks, catamarans) on the beach for free.
The only drawback that we have a little overshadowed the rest - it's jellyfish, they say in July-August - the season of jellyfish. Jellyfish really sting very painfully (I escaped this fate, but stinged my sister and mother). But I have no advice on how to deal with this shortcoming. Maybe go on vacation some other time.
The staff at the hotel is very responsive, maybe we were lucky, but we did not encounter any problems with communication in Russian, several people at the reception were fluent in Russian, several waiters in bars and restaurants were quite fluent in Russian, even the maids greeted in Russian. And generally speaking, I do not see the need for all hotel staff to ideally speak Russian. I believe that it is enough for everyone in their place to have a vocabulary within the framework necessary for understanding.
This is a non-emotional review. And if we talk about emotions, I liked the rest, many thanks to Exotic Tour for the excellent guide Lisa. And of course, many thanks to Lisa herself for her attention and useful information during her stay in Tunisia.
Do not believe the whiners, but tune in to the positive, because you have to rest yourself, and not the authors of "terrible reviews". In general, you can have a great rest in this hotel if you wish.
I wish you all a good holiday.
