To begin with, we flew from the TUI tour operator with the Rosa Vetrov airline. The flight went well, decently fed on the plane, polite and pleasant flight attendants. Upon arrival in Tunisia, we were met by a guide and directed to the bus that transfers to the hotel. I warn you right away - do not succumb to the provocations of the Arabs to take your suitcase to the bus! They want money for it and not small! Near us were people whom they helped carry their suitcases, so they wanted 100 UAH from them. For a 3-minute walk with suitcases!! ! If you give less, I start screaming that it's not enough and give 100 UAH! On the way to the hotel from the nightmare that I saw outside the window, tears welled up in my eyes....It seemed that the rest was ruined... Dirt everywhere... mountains of garbage... In a word, the impression of the country is not the best. When we arrived at the hotel, there were no registration cards for the settlement at the reception, we had to wait for half an hour until they found them somewhere. . Naturally, no one will offer you a pen : -) The room turned out to be quite decent, although not the newest. Toilet and bidet separate bathroom. The bedroom is of normal size, that is, two people can easily stay without colliding with different parts of the body : -) There is a balcony overlooking the sea. By the way, we did not pay extra for this privilege. The hotel itself, of course, with a claim to luxury. All in marble and once expensive wooden furniture.... But. . . It's old. Everywhere you can see the impact of time. For example, in the room, in some places, plaster is not neatly smeared... a chipped piece of tile in the bathroom... a scratched table... But, we came to relax and have fun, and not look for flaws in the room. We just stopped noticing them.
Nutrition. Lots of food. There is meat, side dishes, a lot of vegetables, fruits, seafood (fish every day, octopus, squid, shrimp), but of course sweets : -) I'm not a sweet tooth, but I probably never ate such delicious cakes : -)
Tips. It is customary for them to give tips. . . Like it or not, but 1 dinar is not a lot of money, but the attitude of the waiters in the bar, the beach boy, the governess improves greatly if you treat them with a coin once a day.

Beach. Very narrow and not very long. The width of the beach is one and a half, two sunbeds. But the sea, of course, is fabulous. In the first days of our stay, it was a bit of a nuisance, but then : -) : -) mmmm . . A fairy tale! The water is clear, clean sand, fish swim : -)
Animation. The animators are just great! Light up all day! Every time they come up with something. During the day water aerobics, darts, water polo, dancing. In the evening every day a new program. For 15 days it did not happen again. Children are also occupied in the evening, which gives parents the opportunity to skip a glass of Tunisian vodka - bukhi and smoke a fragrant hookah - shisha!
Excursions. Of course Sahara!! ! This is an experience for a lifetime! But, very tiring. We went for two days. Departure at 6.00 am, then the Colosseum, troglodyte dwellings, caves, camel riding. We spent the night in a 3 star hotel on the edge of the Sahara. Rise at 3.00 in the morning, meet the dawn, and then the national park, jeep safari, mountain oasis on the border with Algeria : -) But, you should not go with small children. Be sure to bring a change of clothes, hats and plenty of water.
To sum up: Whoever goes specifically for the rest and impressions will definitely get them. We liked everything!
