Rested at the hotel from 23 to 30 May 2010. I will write good and bad together, and you judge for yourself.
First for those who choose the time of the trip. I didn't feel very comfortable. The wind was constantly blowing, there was still nothing in the sun, and in the shade, I would even say cold. Coming out of the water, she was trembling almost constantly. There is a strong wind near the sea, near the pools in the sun it is normal, in the shade - not very much. Very few swim in the sea. The evening is also cool. I had to constantly use “warming” drinks - fortunately, there are no problems with this. I won't go again at this time of the year.
Arrival at the hotel

We arrived at 9 am. There were no rooms for the settlement, since the settlement was after 14.00. They offered to have breakfast. After breakfast, we were given a room on the ground floor overlooking the embankment for the road to the hotel next to the constantly humming air conditioner. For 10 dollars they changed, but closer to two in the afternoon.
By the way, the hotel has a lot of rooms with a bad view.
Hotel
The hotel lobby with a lobby bar is very nice, a lot of soft sofas. Large main restaurant with outdoor seating and a private terrace overlooking the fountain and colorful fish swimming. There are not even enough words to express my admiration for the fish - there are so many of them and they are so diverse. My favorite redhead and thick, but rarely swam.
The hotel grounds are just amazing! Everything is so original and beautiful, there are many flowering plants, the pools are so diverse. But for those who like to bathe in bleach - I advise you to come early - you may not find a free place.
Nutrition
I have never seen such an abundance of food either in Egypt or in Tunisia. Very tasty and varied, a lot of seafood, and donuts are delicious. The only thing was that the tomatoes were not very good and the buns were kind of dry. Only three of the a la carte restaurants this year are free, although there is no mention of this on the tour operator's website. We must pay tribute to the hotel - it gives true information on its website. An Italian restaurant with a beautiful view - $ 10 per person, but I do not recommend a salad in a basket. I didn't like Turkish. The most delicious food in the main restaurant. In Chinese and Mexican was not.
Separately, I would like to say about the "lunch package" when traveling on an excursion. It's just some kind of horror: four pieces of black bread, between which a piece of sausage and cheese, which together fit on one piece of bread, an unripe tomato, a rotten apple and a half-rotten banana. And this is with such an abundance of food in the hotel - it does not fit in my head.
Beach

The beach is large and there were no problems with places at all. At the entrance to the sea there are pebbles, a steep descent and immediately become deep (I even sprained my leg when leaving). I do not advise those who want to swim in the sea with children to go. Children - only in the pool with slides.
Sea
I went for the sea and therefore was disappointed. On the first day after lunch there were such waves that we could not even swim. Calm sea only in the morning, then waves appear and black dead flies swim in the water near the shore. To swim in the sea, you need to pass through these floating swarms. Maybe someone does not care, but I had to bathe in bleach after dinner, which spoiled the good impression of the hotel itself. Sand and sea in Tunisia is incomparably better.
Animation
I do not like animation, so I will not rate it, but almost every evening there were different performances and live music in the pool bar.
