THE FOUNDATION:

If you, like us, caught a hot tour for 700 greens (out of season), the first thing I want to advise everyone is to smile, and to everyone, even if you don’t like something, smile anyway, and resolve issues calmly and without emotions, just turn them off for the rest, because for this money, you simply do not have the right to demand something. Firstly, they will take you for a welcome guest, and secondly, the most important thing in a foreign country, they will try to understand you and help you in any matter. You will scream, freak out and get nervous, they will not only not understand Russian, but also other languages ​ ​ ​ ​ except their own, they will shrug and wave their heads that they do not understand anything, just REMEMBER THIS !! ! In the end, you are not the navel of the earth, you are just a person and the simpler you are, the better for you. See how much it costs to stay in this and other hotels during the season, and all questions will disappear by themselves.
CLIMATE:
It seems that the climate on Earth is still changing, and for the African continent in the first place, and if 5-10 years ago in May it was possible to swim in the warm sea there, then in 2013 t * water was no more than 20-22 C *, the water is clean, but if there is no storm, moreover, even the locals themselves say that the last couple of years May-mid-June are rainy months (out of 6 days-3 it rained (every other day). In the first half of the day the weather is calm and windless , in the afternoon a very strong wind rises and storms until the morning and so every day.
HOTEL:
Of all the worst hotels in this region, this one is the best.
The territory is clean and beautiful, the beach is cleaned only in front of its territory, but it is cleaned, there are no cigarette butts in the sand or other garbage, a sun lounger on the beach is paid, there is no near the pool. The rooms are "cleaned" every day, but disgustingly, they waved a mop on the floor and they think that it’s normal (I threw a long black hair that I found in a blanket (to check the quality of cleaning) into one of the corners, it lay there all week), it would be better if they didn’t clean it at all. The sheets, pillowcases, towels and duvet covers are gray-black from their old age, so bring your own, you won't regret it.
NUTRITION:
The food is excellent (you can go to the tables 2-3 times, take food and no one will tell you anything), there is a variety of dishes (except for breakfast), the dishes are clean and enough for everyone, as soon as the plate is empty near you, "on duty" immediately they will remove it. Fruits are only for olinclusives, and only for lunch.
If you do not have OLINCLUSIVE, then there is no drink for dinner, only food, so take it with you, but do not advertise, this is normal.
PEOPLE:

Most of the people are very good-natured and friendly (but you need to remember that the family has its black sheep). They all understand that 50% live on your money, so they try to be as friendly as possible. "Hello friend, how are you", the most memorized phrase by almost everyone, so reciprocate friendliness... In bazaars and shops, bargain (except for fixed prices), this is welcome, and bargain to the word "bankrupt" - this means that lower this price, he sells at a loss. That is, if you are offered a bag for 50 Dinars, and you bought it for 25, then everyone will be satisfied, but its cost is 10, so bargain until the last, before turning around and leaving the point.
... In conclusion, the most useful advice: Arriving there, it is much cheaper, about 2-3 times, to rent a car with a driver, and go to the sights of Tunisia, and join a group locally than to use the services of insolent guides who think of your money as their own. . .
And remember, you come to benefit from the sun, water and air, try to wisely ignore everything else and you will have an unforgettable vacation.
