Holidays in Tunisia, Sousse, Tour Halef hotel, from July 24 to August 7.2016.
Departure from Moscow from Domodedovo was delayed by 2.5 hours, but arrived at the hotel at 9.30 local time and even managed to have breakfast, breakfast until 10. Then they checked in, promised to check in after dinner, but they said a room in the thalasso building. I went to look where it is, because. room on the 3rd floor, it turned out that the elevators did not work, they were hardly persuaded to move to the 1st high floor in the same building, which we agree without a sea view, we bought with a sea view. So we were settled in room 1063.1 - thalasso building, 2 - 7th floor, 3 - 5th floor, 2nd floor, then the number.
The next day, the elevators started working, but we were satisfied that they had changed. The room is good, everything worked, the loggia is large, we had it on the roof. worked constantly. The territory is large, green, well-groomed, the food is very good, excellent, always 3 types of fish, chicken, meat, donuts, pancakes, pizza, fresh juice for breakfast, delicious ice cream for lunch and dinner, watermelon, melon, apples, peaches, plums , sometimes dates, dinner was in 2 shifts, the table was fixed, we went at 2 at 20:00. We visited a themed restaurant, you don’t have to go, in general, it’s much better, served tables, it’s nice to sit under the olive, but very scarce, the choice on the menu is very limited. You can once a week, 1 time is enough for dating.

The beach is sand, the sea is clean, even jellyfish were not there. Everything would be fine, but the hotel is completely full, in order to take a place under an umbrella you need to get up no later than 5.30, there are sunbeds later, there are no umbrellas. According to the description, the beach is 500m. , In fact, no more than 150, part is reserved for parachutes and so on, part is for vacationers buying food in a paid beach cafe, the rest is clearly not enough, the density of sunbeds is prohibitive. Security guards are on duty near the beach, along the border of the hotel beach there is a rope, sellers fruits, towels and other things do not go for it, they go along the sea.
There are buoys about 50 meters along the sea, the entrance is flat 15 meters or more, basically everyone jumps on the waves, swims along, they are afraid of buoys, boats and jet skis rush, the main entertainment is a parachute.
The neighboring hotel Marhaba Beach, I liked it, on the shore, was almost empty, but the attendants were not allowed on their beach, they carefully monitored their own, others.
They didn’t gather for procedures at the Thalasso SPA, because they arrived at the seaside, and getting up at 5 o’clock, they didn’t want to go anywhere else, the reviews on massage are bad, I enclose prices, they do not depend on the season.
The entrance to the hotel is, as it were, at the level of the road, on the reverse side it goes into a pleasant open terrace with a bar and tables on the 2nd floor, where vacationers sit in the evenings. Entertainment programs by the pool every evening.
A plate of fruit was promised on my birthday, but alas, they reminded me, nodded that they understood, but nothing appeared.
We went to the port by taxi for 5 days to visit a restaurant with shrimp and lobsters, on the left side of the bay, where the Neptune VI ship restaurant stands, near which everyone takes pictures, on the contrary, a little further away, it seems a selagriya pizzeria, modest, with good service, reasonable prices, with live music, a guitarist plays, with short shrimp, delicious fish, nicely decorated, we were very pleased, we drove back for 8 din. , evening fare.
On Sunday the 7th, we were picked up from the hotel at 3 o'clock, departure at 6.40 to Sheremetyevo.
In general, we liked everything except getting up very early, but as it turned out during communication, this is the case in almost all of Tunisia.
