We stayed for a week in this hotel. I must say right away that you need to tune in to rest and in no case compare Tunisia with Turkey or Egypt. They correctly write that this is a one-time country. I had a rest in 2005 and now 2011. It didn’t get better in terms of service. After the January Revolution, the inhabitants are calm and happy, there is no unrest, it is completely safe. So, if anyone has doubts about security, do not worry, everything is calm. The voucher was purchased from the Expresstour company. There are no complaints about this tour operator. Well done, everything is well organized, the only negative is the inconvenient flight back, the day was gone (departure at 4.45 am). Great guide Natalia. Thank you so much, you can see that she loves her job. Everything will be done for the convenience of the tourist. She gave us maps of the city, where she marked shops and places that can be visited. Thank you very much, this information was very helpful.
Now about the hotel. Among the vacationers are Russians, Poles, Slovaks and a few Germans, a lot of Arab families with children from Algeria have a rest. There are a lot of old Poles, the impression is that you are relaxing in a sanatorium for the elderly. The territory of the hotel is quite spacious and green. You can go to neighboring hotels and visit their pools and beaches. Also evening programs. The food is monotonous, but you will not remain hungry: for breakfast, pancakes and scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ sausages, cheese, vegetables, pastries, fruits, breakfast cereals. For lunch, local jelly-like soups, three types of meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, ice cream for dessert, pastries, fruits.
Drinks must be ordered from the administrator, then they scan the bracelet, issue a check, give the check to the waiter, and he brings it. Sometimes people are dissatisfied, because they do not bring a drink on time.

Regarding accommodation: there are different rooms. Russians are settled on the ground floors in the main building in old rooms. Starting from the second floor there are renovated rooms, quite decent. If we compare our hotel with the neighboring three-ruble note Marhaba, it is better to buy s*. The cases are better, and the food is almost the same. Room cleaning at the discretion of the maid. He wants to change the towels and change the bed, but basically they just make the bed and fluff up the pillows. Whether you tip or not, it does not affect the quality and size of the cleaning. During the whole week, the floor was washed once, and then only because she herself made her do it, because she was tired of the creaking of sand under her feet. They take tips, smile, but they don't want to do anything.
On the beach, the sunbeds are old, there are few umbrellas, many sunbathe in the open sun. Therefore, in the sun, people move to the pool. Do not swim in the pool, as the darkness of the people.
Maybe my review will help someone make the right choice when booking a hotel.
