Rested at the hotel with a friend in the period from 12 to 22 August 2010. I will say briefly right away: 1) Tunisia is a country of a one-time visit; 2) Sousse Palace draws a maximum of 3 *.
So, I’ll start with the advantages of this country and the hotel:
1) the sea is very clean, very transparent, turquoise, fish swim. True, when the water gets very warm, poisonous jellyfish appear, small ones, but remote.
2) the hotel is located directly in the center of Sousse, and as far as we understood, we had the lowest prices for everything: souvenirs, food, leather, shoes. In hotels remote from the city, you can’t buy anything at all.
3) very, very inexpensive locally produced leather: camels, llamas. Shoes are quite European style.
4) for me it is a plus when there are few Russian-speaking population. there are approximately equal numbers of Germans, Italians, French and Russians in the hotel.
Absolute cons:
1) the country is very dirty. Former French colony, French colony - France does not smell here !! ! For those who have been to Egypt, Cairo is cleaner. For those who have been to India - India is cleaner! It is clear that the hotel is constantly cleaned, but since the locals are constantly hanging out on the beach, the beach does not shine.
2) Arabs. Arrogant, ill-mannered, stupid, uneducated! Firstly, the attitude towards Russians was initially disgusting. bias towards Russia. Constantly climb with a desire to communicate. The guide said that even smiling in their direction is not worth it - then they will not get rid of it. So we did. First, obsessive attempts to get to know them, then stupid laughter, then insults like: Natasha, Rasha-Natasha, Rasha-parasha, do you want sex today, let's have sex, you are so sweet, you are so sexy, fuck my ass, fuck your mam, fuk you etc. And this is regardless of the woman's age, modesty or immodest clothing. Despite the fact that those who light up with them, they, of course, do not call them names. At least in her face. One girl was generally cursed for not going into their shop. almost all beaches, especially those in the city, LIVE Arabs. that is, from morning to night we hear their cries, squeals and endure their constant close attention to our person.
3) there is practically nothing to see in the country. But on excursions, I want to go, so as not to sit in this city all the time. we took only Carthage ($56 per person). Everyone speaks well about the Sahara, whoever is interested should like it - a constant change of impressions. Excursion to Carthage 99% of people are not impressive, they do not tell or show anything interesting. Beautiful photos from the blue and white city of Sibu De Said.
4) So, the hotel. Everything that you see in the picture, i. e. the pool is its entire territory. very little space, illogical built-up 20.000 m2. You will be offered to buy rooms with a sea view, the cost is from $30. The rest of the rooms overlook the wonderful city of Sousse. It's not even that it will be very noisy, the view is TERRIBLE, terribly dirty, ugly city, either dilapidated or unfinished. We were wildly lucky - we were given such a number, a girlfriend liked the Russian-speaking administrator. BUT. water is constantly dripping from the air conditioner, 2 bulbs were not on, and despite the fact that we asked 3 TIMES to fix it, nothing has changed. There was a gap of 1.5-2 cm between the window frame and the wall, and if the wind blew from the sea, we had to plug this gap with a curtain, which did not help much. Humidity is very high, especially on the first floor, it is unpleasant to sleep in the bed. There are no Russian channels on TV, they watched German and French. The staff is not bad, but they have a weak sense of tact: even if there is a do not disturb sign on the door, they will still come in. Weird, right? ! ) And the cleaning system is incomprehensible: first in the morning they can come to pick up towels. then you don’t carry them all day, but bring them by 15.00, or they may not bring all the towels, or only for the face, or they will forget to lay sheets... Food. All of them had breakfast and dinner meals. Drinks are included at breakfast, not at dinner, we made do with watermelons. Naturally, it is not cheap to buy drinks in a hotel: water liter 46r, beer 0.3 90r. I won’t describe the entire menu, in general, the food is not bad, they have a tight time with dairy, there was no mashed potatoes and all the food is heavy. Animation is also C grade: water gymnastics, boccia in a monotonous sports performance, for some reason there was only darts once, in the evening music just plays and either they try to get some people to dance, or they can show one idiotic scene designed for German humor.
Now for those who still want to look at the wonderful country of Tunisia, tips:
1) it is better to choose another hotel. You can also in Sousse, but different.
2) Money, we changed at the reception. because there is no difference in the bank. On the Internet, the exchange rate was 1.26 against the dollar, in the country it was 1.4. that is, on our 1 Dinar - 23 Rubles. 1 dinar is made up of 1000 millilims. It is better to pay with dinars everywhere, because. in each tent you will come up with your own profitable exchange rate, in some places 1/1 against the dollar. They accept rubles only as a souvenir, because it is impossible to exchange them for dinars in the country. We changed parts, because dinars can only be exchanged for dollars at the airport, in rare cases at the hotel.
3) shopping. All products on the street and in the medina are expensive. Medina is the central, old part of the city with shops. Basically, everything is expensive. We bought groceries in a state store: you leave the hotel to the right, you reach the sea and turn left, after walking 250 meters you will see this store. there water costs 0.320-0.400 millilims per 1.5 liters, juice 1.7 dinars on average, peaches 1.5 dinars per kg, dates 3.6 dinars (by the way, tasty and not as sweet as ours), fig peaches 3 , five. ordinary olive oil from 4.6 to 7 dinars per liter. with flavors (herbs, paprika, lemon) 2.5 dinars per 0.350 ml.
Tunisia has delicious ice cream. 1 dinar 100 grams.
Absolutely everyone brings several bags and shoes from there. CHEAP. Initially, of course, they will offer you a very high price, but as soon as you name yours and say, but in the same store I saw it for so much and start leaving, they will immediately begin to reduce the price. do not be afraid to stand your ground - buy it at your own price anyway =)) the approximate cost of one medium-sized leather bag is 20 dinars. A good pair of shoes can be bought for 30 dinars. but we are still in the discount season.
4) girls and women, try to dress as closed as possible, this, of course, is unlikely to help, but still, it’s even more calm to walk along their streets.
5) language. better to know French or English. some spit in German. Your Russian, it's better not to use it at all. By the way, several times my girlfriend and I pretended to be Italians, Chinese, Englishwomen, something was chirping not on our own - you know, it helped =) just passed and looked at us in surprise =))
6) at the airport it turned out that, firstly, you can take a palm tree out of there, they sold large shells with roots on the street. We did not know, unfortunately we did not buy. Also, at their airport, they have their own ideas about the weight of a suitcase: not 20 kg per person, but 30 kg per suitcase, otherwise you will pay.
7) at the airport there is a very good duty free service regarding perfumes, here finally the influence of France!
8) You can go to Port El Kantau. but it's not as pretty as they say. It's just that with respect to Sousse, it's a little cleaner and nicer. The prices are higher.
We expected to go to the water park there, but we were told that the seams are very felt there, you will tear everything off.
By the way, as always with Pegasus, our flight was postponed for 2 hours, which we learned about the evening before. But they were picked up from the hotel at 11.30 4.5 hours before the plane. Although in the end we did not take off at 15.55, as our flight was rescheduled, but at 6 o'clock..... Muscovites were less fortunate, they were rescheduled for 7.5 hours, they were taken from the hotel at 3.35 at night. Forever Pegasus! yes, by the way, at the expense of Pegasus, we spit from him for the 2nd time. if possible, fly with Tez Tour, Natalie Tours and other more competent tour operators.
In general, we had a good rest on our own, there were pleasant tourists in the hotel, all from different countries, it was interesting to communicate. I won’t say, of course, that we regretted that we went - we need to see everything. But the second time there is definitely no desire to visit this country. By the way, FOR PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN, entry into the sea is good - very long shallow.
Happy holidays!!!! ! Take everything from Tunisia!! ! =)
