воспоминания о Тунисе memories of Tunisia

Marhaba Palace - in the past, apparently, luxurious, but now somewhat shabby, but quite a decent hotel with an open (into which 2 buckets of bleach are poured daily at 17.30) and indoor pools, a small but cozy territory and very poor service. You can't even say that the service is bad. It's just that all the hotel workers constantly extort tips. On the beach, someone has privatized the sunbeds and will give them only for a dinar. The maid strives to break into the room when there are guests to get their dinar or dollar. They don't look at you in the restaurant, and they even chased us from the table if you didn't tip. We were on full board. Most vacationers take half board. This is quite enough. In my opinion, the food is normal, but, as elsewhere in hotels, somewhat monotonous. Drinks in the restaurant (including drinking water) at lunch and dinner are paid. For breakfast, there is also orange fresh for 2.5 dinars. Prices in the hotel as in Europe. Almost no animation. All the entertainment in Porto el Kantaoui, which is 150 m away. On the hotel beach, standard water entertainment - banana, parachute, sofa, etc. We were with children 5 and 7 years old. We bought them a ball and toys for water and sand, and that was enough. The playground is worse than in our yard, because, probably, I didn’t see a single child there. The air conditioner in the room could not cope with our volume - we had a room with an arched roof. And the air conditioner only works when you are in the room with the key inserted. If possible, you need to remove the key from met. base and close the contact with this base. Then the air conditioner will work even when you are not in the room. Guests at the hotel - almost all from Europe: England, Germany, France and Poland. There were few of us, and mostly from the Urals. Traveled with Biblioglobus. No claims. We did not touch them, they, when we refused excursions, lost interest in us. The transfer on the way back was somewhat late, but with the help of Larisa from Biblioglobus, everything was sorted out by phone. The phone worked like an automaton: we could call, but we couldn't. Internet only in a cyber cafe - 4 dinars for half an hour (in Turkey, everywhere in WiFi halls). In general, compared to Turkey, it loses a lot in service, but everything is compensated by the transparent sea, white sand and the feeling of Africa.
