Hotel ratings by criteria:
I will try to write a review that will be useful to future guests.
1. Settling before 12-00 required a small bribe in the form of 20 dinars (100 UAH. 10 Euros) Currency exchange in the same place at the reception on the right (they don’t really cheat there and the exchange rate is like everywhere else, but be careful) - when my grandfather is given 10 small dinars and he says that he gave 100 dollars. )) Vasya froze - and where are the dollars. Well, down there. ))
2. Internet.
Internet in the hotel is free. But you need to stock up on passwords at the reception. Grite - Internet Password. 3-4 pieces for a week is enough.
In the room we personally caught only a laptop. Tablets and smart phones are not.
For 20 dinars (100 UAH 10 Yuro) you can buy an Orange 3G++ SIM card

. Leaving the hotel and passing two flower beds (the interchanges are so round) after the football field of the Bora-Bora disco, turning into a street. There is a branded salon Orange. But there we received a ticket with the queue number and after 15 minutes. realized that the queue is not moving. One operator and 15 people in line. The smell is terrible. Arabs don't know how to work. We went out for a walk down the street and 100 meters away we came across a workshop on the phones, where the Orange logo hung. There we merchandised without a queue. The boy speaks English. min. 40 and we have 3G+ and 1Gb of traffic for 20 dinars. (passport required)
Iphone navigation worked))
True, more than half a day was not enough. Weak battery.
Skype only works in chat mode. The call does not come out. The operator seems to be blocking. Hotel Wi-Fi allows no question.
3. Drink.
According to the AI ​ ​ system, they can drink until 12 at night easily.
After - there is a cattail in the basement - it's true that there is not much to drink there.
For other travelers, there is a good restaurant (ask Oksana - sea food) for 32 dinars a set lunch.
About 8 courses + fruit and dessert. Two types of fish, two types of shrimp, different salads of squid and mussels. Oysters.
Soup. In short, you will lick your fingers. We were afraid we wouldn't have enough cash. ))) The Privatbank card is blocked. It is necessary to unblock it in advance (at least a day before) I unblocked it online through Privat 24.
Drink is expensive. In the same restaurant, beer is priced like a hotel.
0.33 local beer - 4 dinars. (20 UAH)
In the German bar to the left of the hotel (Heineken battle 0.33 - 3.200 dinars) Age bar - but there is always smoky.
The most favorable tariff is the General store.
Alcohol is not sold on Fridays. The department is closed.
We broke off - on Saturday at 4 am departure and we did not stock up on tibarin. ((
And on Friday we spent the whole day in Tunisia. ))))
In Carthage and Abu Sidi Said.
In short - the General store is open until 20:00 (otherwise no one knows for sure)
There are pivas and vodyara.
Good English for 27 dinars for 0.7 Petrovska.
For Smirnovka costs about 100 dinars. Absolute - 150.
The beers there are small - 024 -0.33
You won't find two-litres there. ))))))
4.
Excursions.
I'm lazy to go on excursions, and too tall to ride buses. (I barely survived the flight).
We went on excursions ourselves. By taxi, or the guide found us a driver, drove us to all places. Tunisians are quite honest people compared to other Arabs. They rarely cheat. The man in the baths only cheated. And at the airport too.

In short, the driver took us where he had time. Cartaga, all the ruins are there, the Roman dachas, the theater, even there. Moreover, we were alone with my wife, and there was no one around. Great photos and memories.
When they were in museums, they joined a Russian-speaking group. Although Wikipedia was always at hand)))))
A huge plus of individual tours is free time. Not addiction. Comfort. He stuck less. Fuck - we were generally alone in the theater. When they left, a family of German tourists came.
The hotel guide was paid 245 dinars for this tour.
There could have been three or four of us. No difference.
The dude arrived in the morning - and in the evening he took us to the hotel.
The only thing, in the Blue-White City, he made us walk for 15 minutes. while praying in the temple. They have a procedure.
The local zoo also went by taxi - 90 dinars.
Those who know French will be able to see everything at half the price. I pulled my own at school for 3 balls.
But minimal English is enough. Moreover, they know Russian better there than in Egypt. Taxi drivers know the numbers.
At the reception there are a couple of people who speak Russian.
The cleaners don't even know a couple of English words. Therefore, learn a couple of phrases in French. - Like - Change my towel))) - It's a dirty towel))))
I tried to explain to one Duce what an ashtray is.
He showed a movement with two fingers near his mouth. She is Non, Non.
Then I told her in Arabic - tafaya. She sighed and placed an ashtray under the door. Then I was afraid to go. ))))))))
In short, things like this.
