We rested at the MARHABA BEACH hotel from 16.06. 08 to 26.06. 08

There were 6 times in Turkey and a couple of times in Egypt.
If you are offered a tour from NORD or KARIA TUR, we strongly recommend that you refuse.
About everything in order. Arriving at the hotel at 11 in the morning and left by the guide, they refused to settle us, supposedly there was no place. The tour was booked 1.5 months in advance. Our voucher was simply refused to be accepted. After waiting for the hotel guide and after a long swearing, we were settled in the room at about 18:00…. . administrator! with a closet sealed with adhesive tape where his things lay and a dirty bed, an uncleaned floor, etc. They were not interested in any sums of dollars. As it turned out, these tour operators have big problems in the hotel.
By lunchtime. day we were moved to another room and the type of vacation began ...
Everything good can be ruined, which is what MARHABA BEACH did..

The location is quite good, almost in the middle between the Medina and Port El Kantaoui. By taxi to Medina 3 dinars, in a friend. side 4-5 dinars.
The territory is medium in size, well-groomed
Rooms are a separate conversation. What rickets built the hotel is not clear. There is a choice for a construction site that starts at 6 in the morning (accompanied by screams and the work of perforators) and the main entrance, to the sea (Russians are not allowed) under the kitchen and its fragrant hoods, and to the pool where the Arab yells “tartar vitamin ...» and in the evening after dinner and until 1.30 the animation goes on at full volume. In short, how lucky & By the way, the room itself is pretty decent, cleaned well. The only thing is there is no minibar (you can take it for 5 dinars a day)
They also give a wonderful key to the room weighing 200 grams ...- we immediately tore off the key fob from it (there was always a light and air conditioner in the room) and hung it on a string.
The beach is white sand, not a deep sea near the shore, umbrellas, which probably occupied in the evening. The beach opens according to the sign from 8 am, coming at 8.05 everything is busy ....
In Tunisia, there are no beaches closed from strangers, so all day long you will look at the sea and watch the hucksters who trade and shout - shells, palm trees, cigarettes, dirty fruits, kites, scarves, etc. shit at crazy prices. They delivered horribly. The guard tried to drive them but to no avail. We felt like in our “native” Crimea. Dedicated "praise" deserve sun loungers. We have never seen such rag and stretched masterpieces anywhere else. You can lie on them only on your back, sit on them and especially lie on your stomach is almost impossible.
There is also a magical pool………. . -which closes at 18.00 and then everyone is driven out of there! Cool! By the way, on the beach, the sun loungers underneath will pull you out not much later. Apparently these freaks believe that swimming and sunbathing should only be done during the day in the very heat under the African sun.
The food is quite decent.

A minimum of soybeans, a lot of meat (in the evening) There is practically nothing for lunch (maybe because he rests a lot on HB) Everything is fresh. Turkish jokes like yesterday's salads in the new "look" were not noticed. Lots of fruits: dates, apricots, peaches, plums, watermelons, melons. There is no sweet, though there are several types of ice cream, but it's better not to try it...
Drinks-yupi, mineral water with gas, wine (good) white, red, vodka, beer, whiskey, gin. All local average quality.
I especially want to note plastic cards with your photo and a magnetic strip on which all drinks will be. The cards are buggy, computers hang and do not see the cards, bartenders and waiters swear. 1 drink per 1 card, next try after 5 minutes. Before-TABOO!!! ! - furious look and gnashing of teeth; ), in short, complete nonsense. So we get in line at the bar and wait ..... wait ... , first they serve for cash (HB) and only then you.
The same goes for the beach bar.
The hotel staff is generally quite pleasant except for the bartenders. Bitches are rare. Recommended everywhere. leave a tip.
Animation is stupid, designed for the Nazis and the French with the Italians. A couple of times it was interesting when stray artists came. Children's animation is the same as everywhere else and "chiki-chu" rumbled for 30 minutes even when no one was there. Once there was a beach party - entry per person 25 dinars. The divorce is complete! If they knew they wouldn't go. They promised horseback riding and camel riding (everything turned out to be paid) and a Tunisian performance. -For 40-50 minutes they played and danced, and then again “chiki-chu” without children and a redneck disco in the sand.
General impressions ...- so-so, for the money that we paid, it was possible to fly to Turkey for 12 days in a good "5" on Ultra all inclusive. The hotel is definitely not worth the money.
