Первый раз в Тунисе. First time in Tunisia.

The hotel is far from new, shabby, but the area is large, beautiful.
Settlement. We arrived at 10 am, a whole bus, but the feeling that no one was waiting for us. In the end, they gave us bracelets and since breakfast ended at 10, they offered to drink tea and coffee with buns at the pool bar. At 11 o'clock they gave out the keys to the rooms, warning that there was no cleaning yet, but you can leave things, the porter quickly dragged our suitcase away, showed the room, did not ask for a tip, evaporated.
Number. Standard, old, hair dryer brought on the 3rd day. Mosquito corpses are smeared on the ceiling and walls. Well, that's okay. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of towels. They were picked up at 10 in the morning, washed and brought in at 15-16 hours! Left one towel in the closet. And 3 of them had 2 large and one small towel. Cleaning. For 2 weeks the balcony was not washed even once, the mirror in the bathroom was not wiped at all, despite the tip, mosquito corpses were wiped off the tile herself. And yet, very weak air conditioning, almost none.

Beach. The sea is gorgeous, sand, there is where to swim, there is shallow water for children. In general, the sea smoothed out all the unpleasant moments. The sunbeds are 80% broken, the umbrellas went into the ground, and even short people, forgetting to bale their heads. By the way, beach towels are issued on bail at the reception. 20 dinars or dollars for one, change to clean ones in the same place. At the end of the holiday, you give the receipt, the towels are returned.
There is no discrimination regarding bracelets. There are 3 hotels on the territory. One is rented by the French, and they accommodate their own, respectively, the 2nd Biblio-Globus company, the 3rd Express.
The French corps is newer, but the food is the same, we found blue bracelets, and went to dine with them. 2 times was enough. An awl for soap, as they say.
Power. Queues, went later, so as not to stand, but the dishes that were over were not reported. Breakfast - scrambled eggs, pancakes - the queue is endless. Dry breakfasts, vegetables. They ate coffee, a roll with butter. 2 times there was chicken sausage, very incomprehensible cheese, even boiled eggs were not always there. For 12 days, the chicken was 4 times, mostly with vegetables, meat, 3 times, and some bones. True, there was almost always a fish, such as our sea bass or small horse mackerel. And 2 times there were homemade sausages, very tasty. Fruits were peaches or melons, or grapes. Bakery; custard, shortbread, biscuit dough with whipped cream or custard. Delicious. For small children, it is still better to take mashed potatoes and cereals with you. A la carte restaurants. Registration at the reception from 10, but you need to come to 9, otherwise there will be no places, and you only sign up for today. For tomorrow, come tomorrow and again wait an hour, while there is no air conditioning at the reception!

On Tuesdays, a bazaar comes to the territory, they took loose spices, bargain. For leaving the territory. Tatyana the guide explained that after the revolution there was no power as such, so local teenagers are having fun by throwing stones at tourists, being rude, insulting. We went on excursions, they gave free time to walk around the city (Tunisia, Sidi abu Said), no one pestered. In general, I liked the locals, not sticky, like Egyptian gypsies. And what is important, they do not complain about how poor they are, and rich Russians are obliged to share coins with them (see Egyptians). True, we did not dress frankly and ourselves were not rude to anyone.
Animation is everywhere.
Have a good mood and everything will be fine.
