Rest done!
But the adventures were just incredible. It all started back in Domodedovo - at first, having arrived at the airport early in the morning (3 hours before departure, i. e. 5 am), I did not find a representative of the tour operator, I was told that he would appear soon, but this person appeared for 1.5 hours before departure, thoroughly ruining everyone's nerves. Further more - registration, I asked to seat us near the window and next to it... the girl seated us near the window... but in different cabins of the aircraft - 24 and 58 seats - is it normal ?? ? We arrived in Monastir at 10 am, another surprise awaited us - 1 suitcase arrived, and 2 went to... Greece. In the baggage claim area, do not look for a representative of the company, conversation in English - too. If the luggage has not arrived, go left to the end of the hall, there is an inscription - lost bagaje. They told me in sign language that the suitcase would arrive at 15-30, they gave me a fax, and I went angry to look for those who would meet me. In response to my righteous anger, representatives of the tour operator said that they were not to blame, but Transaero was to blame, including myself. And then Ostap suffered... I told them everything that I think about them and about the Tunisians who do not know English. The bus turned out to be tiny with reclining seats - a small arrival. We arrived at the hotel quickly, we were dropped off the second, after my screams, our guide appeared at the first hotel and left with us. Placed instantly, in a great room with a sea view. But do not rush to rejoice - the sea view is good, but be prepared for the fact that in front of the sea there are a couple of sheds with local residents, and at 5 in the morning a rooster will roar. I received the second suitcase at 8 pm at the airport, so on the first day we did not get to the sea.
The hotel itself is small, the rooms are just huge, with good furniture, new plumbing, no insects, the maid cleans perfectly - leave her 1 dinar. You can give things to wash - they do it just fine - 1 thing 3 dinars. Change bed 3 times a week, towels - daily. There are 7 towels in the room - 2 huge ones for the body, 2 medium ones for the hands, 2 medium ones for the legs, and 1 towel - for the floor, on the way out of the bath, as there are no rugs - tiles. The balcony is small, but there is room for a table and 2 chairs.
Restaurant. There are really 2 restaurants, but they are not a la carte, 1 restaurant in the Zhinin hotel, 1 in the royal zhinin. Food - excellent - French chef, breakfast - croissants, buns, salads, cereals, scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruits, etc. , lunch - soups - excellent in 7 days counted 7 types of soups, 5 types of meat, salads - 5, side dishes - 6, chef's signature dish, pasta, desserts - cakes, mousses, ice cream, fruits - watermelons, melons, apples, plums, peaches. In the restaurant you are served by a waiter - wine, beer, cola, sprite, fanta, booze. Give him a tip and everything will be ok.
Bars - I counted 3 - near the reception, near the pool and on the beach. By the way, there is a joke - in the bar on the beach they do not pour beer or wine, but only cola, sprite and fanta. In general, I liked the wine - especially rosé , it cannot be compared with either Egypt or Turkey. Wine is poured from bottles.
Now for the cons.
Swimming pools - there are 2 of them for 2 hotels - indoor and outdoor, the territory with a three-ruble note Zhinin is common.
The road to the beach past the white concrete wall, tennis courts and golf - 150 meters to go. The wall strains - it is very hot from it.
Beach. The beach strip is 2.5 meters, but oddly enough sunbeds are enough for everyone and always, no one occupies them, only mattresses are paid. The sea is just great, fine white sand, the entrance to the sea is very pleasant. The beach is cleaned every morning and there is no dirt there.
The location of the hotel is excellent, clearly between Sousse and Port el Kantaoui, a taxi back and forth for 5 dinars. Do not sit in the hotel, because the animation there sucks. Every evening we went either to Sousse or to the Port. In Porto, there are cool singing fountains and a yacht club.
Advice - take an excursion to the Sahara - just a sea of impressions - an amphitheater, oases in the desert, palm juice, camel riding, jeep pooping, scenery for the films Star Wars and The English Patient, a waterfall in the desert, the 4th most important mosque in the world in Kairouan and much more.
If possible, take a 5 star hotel.
Have a good rest!
