Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is suitable for any category of UNCLOSING tourists, since it does not provide for special comfort and "licking" from the side of the staff. Then everyone - large companies, couples, and solo travelers will have a wonderful vacation, because there are many prerequisites for this.
Couples, especially with children, who are counting on an economical (compared to other hotels in Tunisia) vacation, will find peace here, clear sea, modest food, which, however, can be diversified by going to CHEAP nearby cafes (one of which is located right on the beach ), in the evening their children will be taken care of by an excellent animation team, however, they themselves will also be able to take part in its program for adults, an extensive excursion program awaits you - for example, you can refuse an expensive and long trip to the Sahara, but visit the Phrygia Zoo, a folklore evening , go on a sightseeing tour of Sousse + Port El Kantaoui.
For young people or couples with older children who prefer outdoor activities, I highly recommend taking an excursion to the Sahara in addition to the rest - unforgettable impressions and amazing photos!
Noisy companies, along with singles, as well as all categories of vacationers who are sure to meet someone, can become active participants in animation programs and regular visitors to a good disco.
Beach: clean, fine sand, depth begins gradually, but not very far from the coast. Sunbeds - on the beach are paid - 2 dinars (approximately $ 2) per day. However, I advise you - just spread a towel and sunbathe on it, it's free and pleasant - the sand is warm, fine, clean, there are no dangerous insects - big ants won't crawl close to you, and they don't bite. There are no other insects. BUT! in August, beware of jellyfish - they sting painfully, ask your guide. The sunbeds by the pool are free, so it's very difficult to find a free place, if you go out to sunbathe only by 11 o'clock, they are occupied for the whole day, leaving a towel or some of the things, be quick.
The food in the hotel is monotonous, but, nevertheless, edible. For breakfast, porridge, sometimes yogurt (come early), boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, vegetables, jams, toast, pastries, coffee, tea, cocoa, in general, you can choose. For lunch - chicken, stewed beef, stewed offal, fish, pasta, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, dessert (cakes, mousses), for dinner the same as for lunch. I repeat, if possible, diversify your food and treat yourself to a bar on the beach (cheaper and tastier! than in a cafe opposite the hotel !! ) - a very wide menu (in addition to pizza and soft drinks, you will be offered a very tasty full lunch or dinner - baked fish , cold cuts and much more) or in the bar under the stairs next to the main building (the German Michel works there, he will cook you a brik (tuna with vegetables and sauce, baked in dough), scrambled eggs with vegetables and other dishes).
Rooms: clean, cleaned daily, if you occasionally leave a dinar, they will try even more. If the towels have not been changed, or hygiene products have not been put in, calmly approach either the maid or the reception and ask for what you need. Do not leave valuables in the room! No money, no documents. That's what the safe is for!
Take it with you! : 200 euros (more profitable to take euros! ) for one for two weeks will be enough for souvenirs and for infrequent trips to cafes, alcohol (for example, beer in a hotel, who has half board) and other small expenses. If you want to take excursions - take an additional 150 euros somewhere - this is if you want to get on an excursion to the Sahara, maybe a little more or less, the rest of the excursions are 50-60 euros, just check out the contents of the excursions on the Internet and choose what you like. Take a hair dryer to the hotel (they do not give out), shampoo, shower gel. A bottle of vodka may come in handy (or maybe you will be lucky with the number anyway) to change the room, although they may officially ask for 10 dollars for a sea view (this is a common practice, do not be outraged and do not think that the guide takes them for himself, this is not so! !
By the way, the guide Natasha is an intelligent, competent, intelligent and reserved person, ask what interests you, she is always happy to help.
Leisure: As for entertainment in the hotel itself - gymnastics and aqua - aerobics on the beach and pool. It is more pleasant to do gymnastics on the beach - the sea, sand, sunburn! ! and you can buy from one of the animators a wonderful massage tool for yourself and your relatives, as our whole company did, an excellent souvenir, I recommend it!! ! Ask if it's cheap! Also waiting for you is Waterpolo, volleyball, do not hesitate to go to the animators and ask for a ball for the kids, or if you want to play volleyball with your company, or rackets for table or tennis - animators can not always predict your individual desires, but they will never refuse to help for their implementation. All these services are free.
Internet at the hotel is paid, ask the reception for prices for half an hour and an hour, it's inexpensive.
On the sea coast, you will also be offered paid services - ride a banana, scooter, parachute, windsurf. The price list for these activities is presented on a billboard right in the middle of the beach.
In the evening, as I already mentioned, you will be offered an incendiary animation program (participate and cheer yourself up! ), On Saturdays, a fakir show, a fire show during the week (a very beautiful and impressive sight), dances for children and adults, competitions, in general , You will definitely like it. Animation team is one of the main advantages of this hotel. Young, energetic guys are always happy to cheer you up.
After the evening program, a disco begins, which is visited by tourists of different ages!! ! so you will always find a company for yourself, even if you come alone!
Near the hotel there are several shops with fruits and regular products and cafes. But their main concentration is in the nearest tourist center of the port of El Kantaoui and the city of Sousse. Do not be afraid when you go from the airport to the hotel - the fact is that it is farther than the rest, just after the flight, sometimes you perceive things much sharper, go somewhere 7-10 minutes to the port and 15 minutes to Sousse, to the Medina . Problems in overcoming the distance from the hotel to the nearest tourist center, where you can take a walk, visit shopping centers, cafes, discos, etc. , no! Every day at 14.00 and 19.00 (check the time with the guide) a bus leaves the hotel, for little money you will be taken to the port of El Kantaoui (maybe to Sousse, check) and brought back after a certain time. If you are going to go on your own, alone or with a company, do it boldly, absolutely safely! There is neither aggression nor excessive curiosity on the part of the local population, the only thing is that it is better to know a few basic phrases at least in English in order to negotiate a price. A yellow minibus with a blue stripe goes to the port of El Kantaoui and (in my opinion) to Sousse, the guide will tell you, 1-1.5-2 dinars, a good price, a taxi will be more expensive - 5-7 dinars (I remind you, 1 dinar is approximately equals 1 dollar)
Yes, it is better to take euros with you, the exchange rate is more profitable!!!
Souvenirs: leather goods (camel skin), bags, wallets, bracelets (there is a shop in the port, its name is BIG MARKET, not far from GENERAL, there are good, beautiful bags at good prices, cheaper than merchants on the coast (since not everyone knows how to it's good to bargain, and sometimes traders behave not very correctly, they impose goods too much and are reluctant to drop prices). In the General store you can buy Tunisian wine (pink - not very high quality, but you can try), in general, they taught me, no matter how trite , focus on the appearance of the bottle - the more beautiful the design, the better the wine, well, and for the price, to be honest (and the advisers turned out to be right, my relatives, who are pretentious about wines, were satisfied), you can try bukha, local vodka or date liquor" Tibarin In general, wines, vodka, Tibarin liquor, as a souvenir you can buy home in duty free, everything is there, at the same prices or a little cheaper if you don’t want to pack heavy bottles in a suitcase. Eat dates - there are both in chocolate and simply, Turkish delight, other sweets, you can buy seasonings - harissa (very tasty dried and chopped hot pepper in soup, also sold in the form of adjika), turmeric and others - you will see, there are whole sets, ordinary souvenirs - T-shirts (preferably in fixed price stores, if you don’t know how or don’t like to bargain), key chains with Fatma’s hand, doors or a national flag, organic cotton pareos, aroma oils, coffee - don’t be lazy, go to Sousse, find a store there , everyone knows it, it sells ground coffee and coffee beans by weight, several varieties, it will answer the most demanding tastes of any gourmet!! ! He is awesome! All the locals buy it! Real Arabic! If laziness - in the store, in the package. And right on the beach of the hotel, as I already wrote above, ask the animators for a massage tool, it looks exotic, no one will bring it from anywhere and massage amazingly, impress friends and relatives!
Relax and enjoy your vacation. Believe me, there time will fly by unnoticed, having flown back, it will definitely pull back.
