In general, I really liked the hotel! Were in the thalasso building.

Hotel area
Well-groomed, not small. Swimming pool. Next to the pool bar with drinks, ice cream and cakes (for those who have all inclusive for free). There is also a drink bar on the beach.

Nutrition

I like it. They didn't go hungry. Vegetables fruits. Meat of different types. Pizza. Side dishes. Who has all inclusive - local wine, beer, cola, fanta, tea, coffee...
A table is assigned to your room, which is very convenient! You can only have breakfast at any table, but we still stayed at our own.

Number


We were lucky! And we lived in the thalasso building. No surcharges and no spa treatments. Just got a good guide. Everything in the room works properly (refrigerator, hair dryer, safe - all for free). The only thing is that the air conditioner did not work (it is central), but we did not need it. Rooms are big, bathroom is big! There are full-length mirrors, and there is a large mirror at the table and in the bathroom. The balcony is big.
Service

At the reception work, to put it mildly, do not care. But we didn't pay much attention to it. Currency exchange at the reception (constant exchange time they change, apparently by mood =)), but we were not particularly upset either - there are banks on the street where you can exchange currency.

Once we lost the key (without a heavy iron keychain - we left it in the room to charge the batteries) - people, don't do this! Lose the key for 25 dinars - about 950 rubles. Do you need it?

Waiters are good. They don't really try hard, but they work well. Tipping was not given.

The rooms were cleaned every day!

Animation

I once got out somehow to shoot a bow. I have wanted for a long time, and cheers, I shot at least once! =) We didn't pay much attention to animation. We were friends with the guys, one of us got a knee on the pope - he loved to joke. But there was a very friendly team (now now it's different).
There are aqua aerobics, volleyball, table tennis, billiards, darts, gymnastics at sea, etc. Evening mini disco and show at 22:00 (fakir show, Mr. or Misses tour caliph, karaoke, etc. ). We had a show in a restaurant, because it was cool outside. Then they moved to the street near the pool - which is much better!

Sea and beach

Constantly brings seaweed after dinner! BUT the beach is clean! Nice well maintained beach! Compared to the TERRIBLE "beach" of the Marhaba Royal Salem hotel (where we bought a ticket and ran away from there with tears from the rotting blockages of algae - it's just some kind of darkness).

There have always been sunbeds. Another question, I could not find an uncle with mattresses. All the time I took from other sunbeds that had already been released.

On the beach there is music, animation - gymnastics, different games at certain times.

Tours

Maybe the mood was not the same, but nothing particularly impressed.

Only ATVs I liked - 40 dinars from the tour operator, 30 dinars from the hotel bail.

We rode twice. From our guide (I didn’t like it very much) and from the hotel bailiff (they sit offering a ship along the way to the sea) - I liked it VERY much. Good quads are powerful and my girlfriend and I were VDYO and a guide! How we raced! ! ! Not like with 10 people down the chain...

As a gift, we were given a boat trip. PEOPLE, don't ride small ships. Yes, it was two stories high, but that's something...Everyone felt "good". Many got seasick. . : )
I did not like.
I was on similar ones in Turkey - there is better animation, and the ship itself, and there was still an excursion, but here it’s so-so.

Sidi bou Said, Carthage, Widna and Tunisia - 73 dinars
Well, it's okay. Sidi bou Said is a blue and white city. I was impressed by the visit to one rich house (for an additional fee of 3 dinars). (1 dinar is approximately 1.36 dollars). Tea with nuts - I really liked it!
I liked Tunisia (the capital) itself!

Sahara
How to say. It seems to me that I just had something with the mood. I wasn't very impressed.
Probably there were too many positive reviews and my imagination is so rich that I drew such landscapes in it that I ended up a little disappointed. I enjoyed riding camels (this is longer than in Egypt), swimming in hot thermal water at a hotel in the Sahara. I liked driving jeeps on the dunes a little. I really liked the oasis where the film Officers was filmed. I also liked the amphitheater, it is the very first on the tour. And then all sorts of ruins, they went to the caves to the traladites. Yes, we dined in a cool, bleached cave. The minus is big - it's paid naitki. MANDATORY - take a large bottle or two of water with you - the bus will ride anyway.
Well, souvenirs at the end next to the mosque - the 4th shrine of the Kairouan Muslims.
Not enough souvenirs to choose from. But the prices are great!

They themselves went to the vaunted Port El Kantaoui and four of us went to Medina. Do not go to Medina without men.
Well, it's average...
Probably I am very spoiled by the beauty of Russia =).

Well, I expected more from Tunisia.

Of the benefits, only good prices, everything is not expensive! Good wine!


The hotel itself was very nice! There are soft sofas in the hall, it was nice to sit there with friends in UNO in the evening after dinner, play, drink coffee. From excursions they returned to their own hotel, as to their home. Food, water, bed.

I don't know how it is in other buildings, but the thalasso building is great! I really liked it!

But I am no longer drawn to Tunisia. No sea, the city of Sousse is dirty, yet they saw what they wanted. Now another country is next!

Write, I will try to answer your questions.
