Hotel Concorde Marco Polo 4 * (Tunisia, Yasmine Hammamet).
Rested in this hotel from 04 to 15 July 2017
Transfer.
We landed at the airport of Monastir, it takes about 1.5 hours to get to the hotel in Yasmine Hammammet from this city. Representatives of the tour meet at the airport. operator, show the way to the buses
In general, the road is not tiring, you can see olive plantations, and on power line poles along the road there are large nests with storks, beauty)
Hotel.
The hotel is located on the first beach line, has 1 large snow-white building in the shape of a horseshoe. In the center of the reception, to the sides of it, the left and right wings diverge, which go around the inner territory of the hotel. Each wing has several exits towards the pool, there are elevators.
In the center there is a large swimming pool, a recreation and sunbathing area, a bar in the center of the pool.
In the evening, in the same place, between the exit from the building and not reaching the pool, there is an evening animation zone.
Rooms (rooms) are pleasant, clean, tiles on the floor, bedside rugs by the bed. There is a TV in the room, bedside tables, a refrigerator (the minibar is not filled, empty), a coffee table, a chair, a large mirror, a luggage shelf next to it, a wardrobe, plus there are shelves in the table on which the TV is standing, extra pillows and blankets. The safe is free, locked either with a combination lock or with a key (it is found in different rooms in different ways). Air conditioning and some rooms have a fan above the bed.
The bathroom has a hairdryer. Bathroom (in some rooms it was short, in others it was ordinary, hot water flowed as soon as you turn it on). The pressure is good, the water did not stagnate, the plumbing is white and clean. 1 large towel per person, one small. And plus 1 under the feet. From the funds put only a piece of soap, pour liquid soap. All (! ). Therefore, take shampoos, balms and other things with you. There are also no shower caps.
The balconies are spacious, there are 2 chairs and a table.
The sockets in the room are the same as in Russia, no adapter is needed.
There are no tea facilities in the room. The teapot too.
Cleaning is more or less tolerable (it was in Hammamet in 2014, there is something to compare directly with), swans are rotated periodically. You can leave 1 dinar for tea for cleaners, this is normal. But even if you don't leave them, they normally clean anyway. Valuable things were left and just in the room (cameras, cameras. . ). Nothing was missing.
Please note that they do not have a service for the delivery of drinking water to the rooms. And that's reasonable for such a big hotel. Everything is arranged so when you need water, you go to the bar (in the hotel lobby or by the pool) and say that you need water, 1.5 liters, where the bartenders already understand and answer in Russian, they immediately give it to you. And that's it. If necessary, repeat as they say. There is no limit of 1 bottle per person per day. Take as much as you need.
The hotel has free Wi-Fi.
It catches in the central lobby of the hotel and in some nearby rooms and at the animation point. In the evening, there are multiple connections to the router, so not everyone gets a connection. Sometimes it breaks, they fix it. .
At the reception they change the currency. In Tunisia, almost everywhere there is one exchange rate, so you can safely change money at the hotel. It is better not by much, but by necessity, since paper banknotes cannot be exported. You will be asked to exchange them back (they say that this is done only at the airport and they take 30% of the amount, but they offered me to exchange them at the reception at the check-out).
The staff at the reception is friendly, there is a Russian-speaking girl and a guy. There were no communication problems. If something is broken and there is a question come quickly.
The animation team always works, from morning until late at night, in the morning they call for yoga and exercises, to play water polo, volleyball, people threw some metal balls for accuracy, shot from a bow, chose all sorts of Mr. Hotel, in general, constant movement . In the evening after dinner, children's animation, then everyone takes tables, there are evening shows, contests, singers sing
The hotel itself is generally pleasant, clean, pleasant territory (the owners are Germans, as I understand it, this affects).
The audience is very diverse, there were many locals who vacationed with large families, and other Muslim guests from neighboring countries, mostly with children and mothers. . They did not strain at all, even when bathed in clothes. They walk smiling)) The atmosphere is very friendly. At the animation, when it's karaoke day, everyone sings songs in different languages. There are also many Europeans, including French speakers (which is logical, in Tunisia it is the 2nd language, everyone understands them there).
The only negative for those who are used to going to bed early or want to get some sleep before getting up early for an excursion is that the animation is loud, takes place in the center of the horseshoe of the body, resonates so that in the room it seems that the animation takes place in it, and not on the street. Especially for those who have windows to the courtyard. And it goes on until 24 hours. Well, for those who have balconies in the opposite direction, neighboring hotels help not to sleep)) So stock up on earplugs.
Nutrition.
According to the All-inclusive system, varied, delicious food. For some reason, there was no abundance of seafood, but there was always fish, meat, chicken. At the beginning of the shift at dinner (and their dinner is divided into 2 shifts, from 18:30 to 20:00 (they close at eight in the evening, who did not have time, wait for half an hour). And then 20:30 and until 22:00). So, at the beginning of the shift (I was in July, the peak of the season), there was a full house in the direction of the meat rows. But in the end, everyone gets their portion, there were no hungry people.
In addition, they bake pizzas, separately make pasta in Italian, with dressings.
There are a lot of vegetables, fruits, ice cream in the stalls, you can come and impose yourself (several types are always).
There are also taps for drinks (you pour yourself, glasses are nearby, all glasses and glasses are glass): beer, mineral water, white, red and rose wine. Well, some juices like yuppies, I tried it once and didn’t drink them anymore.
At breakfast there are cereals, fill the balls with milk (warmed, warm and cold). They make eggs, omelettes, cheese, sausage (not tasty), tomatoes (very tasty), olives, buns. Coffee (in a coffee pot) and a cup will be brought to you at your table, just say you want coffee.
Tea stands on a large table (a vat of boiling water) bags, sugar, everything is there.
There is also A la carte, all-inclusive guests are invited to eat there once for free.
Also note (she found out about it in the second half of the holiday) lunch is served in 2 places. In the main restaurant (where breakfast, dinner), as well as left the beach - immediately to the left.
There is a canopy, tables outside and indoors.
In my opinion, the main restaurant is cleaner, there are tablecloths, in the additional one there are just tables. But in general, everything is fine there too. Outside in the shade it's great. And very close to the beach/pool
Also, if you leave somewhere early before breakfast (for an excursion or early departure in general) in the Samarkand restaurant (it is not far from the reception, not reaching the entrance to the main restaurant to the right), early breakfasts are served (until 07:30) (buns, cheese , sausage, cereal, milk, fruits, jams, tea, coffee (automatic coffee machine. Only sometimes it's dark, the lights are off. But everything is covered! )
Lunch boxes are not prepared on excursions, they offer to eat here (well, or take something with you from there, make sandwiches, take an apple. .
Beach.
The hotel has its own recreation area on the beach, the first line, no roads. The sand is fine, light (almost white), sun loungers, mattresses in sufficient quantities even in the peak season.
Because a lot of people hang out by the pool.
Entry into the water is pleasant, algae come across in the water, but not much, they did not strain. The water is crystal clear and clean.
What people in the reviews call camel poop is dried and matted algae. There are no poop on the beach. Only the people themselves sometimes smoke and then the bull in the sand. . Even though there is a trash can nearby. . This is without comment. . The entry into the sea is pleasant, without sharp depths and holes, a lot of people with kids, comfortable.
Of course, it would be ideal if the beach was cleaned from large matted algae, it would look like in the Maldives.
There is no service on the beach (no bar). Take some water with you from the hotel. This, in my personal opinion, ensures the cleanliness of the beach (glasses do not roll) and not so large crowds of people.
There were no jellyfish when I was.
Souvenirs.
Not far from the hotel there is a store with fixed prices JOYS (as you left the hotel to the left, to the ring, go on the left side (where the restaurant is) of the road and walk straight a little more, you will see a sign on the opposite side, cross the road.
There are painted plates, spices, oil, all kinds of rags, pareos and so on, dates, magnets. .
If you take excursions, choose souvenirs in the city of Tunis (the capital) or other remote places (guides will tell you), it is cheaper there, because the Yasmine Hammamet resort area does not imply minimum prices. If you go to Medina (fortress-market), bargain, they wind up Pts. a lot (it's easier to buy in Joyce, the prices there are adequate).
Excursions, walks
Tour. the operator will offer you excursions, tell you everything in detail, the prices are quite adequate, there are no agencies nearby on the street. I chose the Sahara (2 days $114 for an adult), Cape Bon (north of the country) -$40, and Carthage / Sidi Bou Said / Tunisia -$40.
I went with SanMar (they are also Coral Travel, 2 in 1).
All excursions are very rich, interesting, the guides speak Russian. Meals are included, drinks are not (take more water with you, leave it right on the bus, but always have it). An airplane pillow will also come in handy, you will be able to sleep on the road between stops.
I will post a few photos so that you understand that Tunisia is very interesting and diverse, not limited to the sea and hotel holidays. Everything I chose excursions - I really liked
The only depressing thing is the abundance of garbage along the roads, like blue shoe covers (they have blue bags there for some reason, they stand out brightly right away. . You can see them everywhere), bottles. . They themselves know this jamb behind themselves, they say that before the revolution it was better, but I doubt something. .
Do not take a sightseeing tour of Hammamet, the guys who went were all dissatisfied, only you will lose a day and the guides are strange at SanMar / Coral on this excursion.
You can also go to see the Marina with many yachts, ships, it is right next to the hotel
You can safely leave the hotel, take a walk, the street is calm. Comfortable, no one is missing by the hand and they are not dragged into the shops. You, of course, will be invited to see the goods or eat at their restaurant, but they behave without frills, quite adequately
There are horse carriages near the hotel. Haggle (! ), cab drivers call prices initially high
If I forgot something, ask, I will write, I will answer))
Have a nice holiday!

Excellent hotel. Rested with my husband in September 2016, went to the "vegetable rest", lie down, soak up the sun. Before that, there were many times in Turkey and Egypt, that is, there is something to compare with. We are not very spoiled, but there are some basic requirements and here they were all met.

Excellent hotel. Rested with my husband in September 2016, went to the "vegetable rest", lie down, soak up the sun. Before that, there were many times in Turkey and Egypt, that is, there is something to compare with. We are not very spoiled, but there are some basic requirements and here they were all met. I'll start in order. We arrived very early, at 7 am we were already at the hotel. We were immediately put on bracelets, given to fill out questionnaires and taken to breakfast. After breakfast, they gave the keys (regular), so there are no problems with degaussing the keys. We were given a room on the 2nd floor overlooking the garden, but it was overlooking the rooftop of an Italian restaurant. We already once lived in such a room in Turkey at the Grin Max hotel. The continuous hum of the hoods was very annoying, it was especially bad when they fried the fish, and the smell was disgusting. Therefore, I was a little tense because of this, but we were so tired that we lay down to lie down and fell asleep (it was raining that morning). Phone call woke us up. They called from the reception to find out if everything suits us, and the husband half-asleep answered that everything suits him, but his wife does not like the view from the window and asked for a room overlooking the pool (this is on the other side of the building), to which the answer was that these numbers are chargeable. When we said that we would not pay extra, the answer was that he did not solve these issues himself. But after 5 minutes they called us again and offered to go see another room. Of course, we agreed, and when we saw what they offered us, the whole dream passed. We were given a room in the other wing overlooking the pool, near the restaurant on the second floor No. 2020. The view from the room is just lovely - the sea, the pool, a lot of greenery and flowers in front of the windows. We were delighted. And the only thing our escort wanted from us was words of gratitude and that "the reception is the best!! ". We convinced him of this as best we could, for greater persuasiveness we gave him a chocolate bar, he was very happy and ran away, and we were even more happy. When we laid out all the things, it turned out that the safe did not work, The button was broken, We called again and they brought us a new safe in 5 minutes. That is, all issues were resolved quickly and without problems. It is very pleasant, especially when they do it with a smile and without "hissing behind their backs. " All the staff are very friendly, everyone says hello, many speak Russian. In general, it seemed that we were in Sochi, there were a lot of Russians, we saw only 4 Germans and 2 English women, and we learned English in order to somehow explain ourselves. The rest was also pleasantly surprised, especially the food, the abundance of different meats - there was lamb, chicken, turkey, beef and even pork. Everything is very tasty and varied - no one will go hungry. Lots of vegetables, fruits, desserts. The sea was very warm, although we were a little unlucky with the weather, it rained almost every day, but still we chose moments without rain and ran to the sea for a swim, and you could always find empty seats and a working bar near the pool - to whom, what necessary! The pool is very clean, the water is warm - in general, everything is on top. The animators guys tried very hard to keep everyone busy, but not intrusively - if you want - yes - if you don't want - they don't touch. but everyone is smiling! If you want to have a good rest, then smile more, and you will be fine. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I recommend to everyone. If we go again to Tunisia, then definitely in this hotel. Thanks to everyone who made our stay easy and enjoyable, I wish them all the same good time!!! !

Now about the rest itself: Arrived in the afternoon in the evening settled immediately without any problems. The view from the room is not very good. did not pay extra.

I want to share my impressions about the rest in Tunisia (Hammamet). People, I warn you in advance, never fly with Aviatrans!!!
Now about the rest itself:
Arrived in the afternoon in the evening settled immediately without any problems. The view from the room is not very good. did not pay extra. The room is good, spacious without comment. The hotel itself is large, cozy and comfortable. But as such, there is no green territory in it. everything is occupied with something, but not with greenery and a garden. Large swimming pool, three restaurants, bars, etc. present, which tour operators describe. As written in the reviews below, the beach is nearby and large, but not well maintained. horses and camels walk there and they are not always cleaned up after them. There are enough visors on the beach for everyone. But if you want to soak up the pool, you need to get up early and take a seat, since everything is already packed from 7.00. Maybe it's because in May there is a cold sea and a strong cold wind, everyone wants to hide somewhere. There is no bar on the beach, you need to go to the pool bar. There is no entertainment on the beach. Sometimes the animator comes and reluctantly invites to the game. there is entertainment near the pool, but again, all this is not very active. But it’s good to relax there with children, your children are taken away before lunch, and sometimes even after it, they have something to do there with an animator and other children. In general, the animation itself is not bad, every evening something new. We even got to the travesty show)))))
The food is normal. Everything is as spicy in the East, with spices and there is sweet, but not enough (((. They gave them a drink of fanta, cola, sprite. Juices diluted with water and only in the morning.
The hotel itself is large and when there is an influx of people, there is a queue everywhere.
Tip: do not go to Tunisia in May and early June. It's still cold there. We took the Sahara tour for 2 days, we were satisfied. In principle, we don’t need another one, since it is voluminous.
I recommend the hotel

So, I'll start with poop, in the truest sense of the word. The hotel’s beach, not only hasn’t been cleaned for a long time, it feels like it hasn’t been cleaned from the very foundation of the hotel: no one is going to clean up the feces of camels and horses from under their feet, plastic bottles, labels, cellophane, corks and other garbage of human genius are not considered garbage at all.

There is no bar on the beach - half the trouble if there is water with soybeans, trouble - if a person drinks alcohol, it's too far to walk to the bar to the pool. The sunbeds themselves on the beach are present along with sun loungers, but the mattress for the softness of sunbathing must be carried from the pool area. The sea is dirty to disgrace, I have never seen such a quantity of algae anywhere, although I am far from the first time in Africa. The pool is large, but not at all deep, especially if you are a tall person, like me -198cm, then you will not be very comfortable. Although the pool is not the main thing. The interior of the hotel is quite tolerable. . The rooms are standard: at the entrance to the left or right there is a bathroom, then again to the left or right the living part of the room turns itself - two ordinary beds, separate with separate mattresses, there is no single one here, they can only lay a large sheet, for which you need to forgive the administration. I was surprised by the TV - a 30 inch Samsung, although it is not clear what kind of need it is here on vacation. The balcony is quite spacious, there are two plastic chairs and a table. There are two large and two small towels, no bathrobes, no slippers, and a foot mat near, mind you, the bathroom, not the shower. Hairdryer and liquid soap, no shampoo or anything else. The room was changed, at first we were given a room on the first floor with a leaking shower, a broken light bulb in the bathroom and one not working. The door on the balcony was closed, at the first floor, and an exit to a low fence, behind which the hotel territory ended and the street and the residential quarter of the locals began. Changed to a normal number, without all the indicated flaws. By the way, "booking" - it is forbidden by the hotel rules to reserve sunbeds, but this does not bother anyone, and at eight in the morning all the sunbeds are in towels. And here the time is minus two hours from Ukrainian. At six o'clock in the evening, hotel workers begin to collect mattresses from sunbeds and tell you "finish my friend. " Animation for an amateur, there is practically no variety. And a separate, juicy topic - food. I have never had such a lousy meal at a buffet, the same Turkey and Egypt will rub their noses at Tunisia on this line even at the start. Despite the fact that this is a country where all kinds of fruits are in abundance, guests are offered only watermelon and melon, sometimes banana, date, penny and apricot. people who cannot live without meat have nothing to catch here. Yes, and fish lovers too. But if you are a fan of fries, this is your world of abundance, which, by the way, Europeans vacationing here do - tons, sorry, they eat potatoes with ketchup. I think everyone understands about drinks. Plastic sweet water, beer urine, wine diluted with water, etc. . went once to an Asian restaurant - according to the record, they spat for a long time, although it should be noted that the Peking duck was cooked well. In general, on the third day, there was nothing special to choose from, since the food immediately became boring because of its monotony. Such a holiday for an amateur. Excursions scam rare. The staff is normal. The guide is a little storyteller. Olive oil is not cheaper here than here. And more here and than to brag. In the city, there are such sticky sticks as in the above countries, after constant composting of the brains of which there is no desire to go out into the city. You can go to the local port once and see everything. Shopping lovers should go to the center of hammamet - general supermarket. Souvenirs are also tight, low-quality trinkets no one needs.

Rested from August 19 to September 1.2011. We had a group of 6 people. On the first evening, swimming in the pool, we were wildly delighted with a couple from Yaroslavl, they reported that for 10 days they had not heard Slavic speech at all in the hotel. A few days later, the Slavs were added. Yes, it's strange that foreigners start taking places by the pool from 6 in the morning and we had to get involved in this schedule.

On the first evening, swimming in the pool, we were wildly delighted with a couple from Yaroslavl, they reported that for 10 days they had not heard Slavic speech at all in the hotel. A few days later, the Slavs were added. Yes, it's strange that foreigners start taking places by the pool from 6 in the morning and we had to get involved in this schedule. Although there were always places by the pool away from the bar, there were always free sunbeds on the sea.
1. The sea is warm, gentle, changeable. In the morning, complete calm by lunchtime, there could be waves. The beach is large and clean. For a camel that works as a model for photos and rides, they clean it right away. The sea is shallow, the depth starts behind 3 buoys sometimes brought algae, but this is not fatal. Masks and fins are not required! There is nothing to watch, although my husband saw a stingray one evening.
2. The pool is huge, no one in it stepped on each other's heels. They clean every day, in the evening they run a robot vacuum cleaner.
3. The rooms are large, with good furniture and appliances. We were cleaned normally, not every day they left a dinar. The linen was changed 4 times in 12 days.
The children once forgot to clean the room, the son went to the reception, the manager rushed with the cleaning lady and controlled the cleaning himself and apologized.
4. Internet at the reception, but in our room 390 and in the children 392, WIFI also worked in the room.
5. Nutrition. I don’t know who writes that there were no fresh juices, probably I should have opened my eyes and looked where they make pizza at lunch and in the evening in the morning they make orange juices and mixes. Fish, turkey, chicken, pork, beef were all on the menu. Several evenings we had seafood: unlimited shrimp, squid, octopus. No one was left hungry and there were dishes for every taste. Locally produced drinks differ in taste from what we are used to, but this is not news for everyone.
We tried Sedratin - tincture on dates 40 degrees - I recommend it.
The food is excellent and I don’t understand the complaints that it is monotonous, are you also served 15 dishes at home to choose from?
5. In the evenings you can walk to the center of Yasmin. Exit the hotel, go left, after 7 minutes there are two streets that you can go around in a circle and return to the hotel through the port. Buy all sorts of souvenirs. There is no shopping there.
6. The guide sent us to the Talaso Hotel Mahadi, a talaso was opened there not so long ago, the hostess is a Muscovite, the manager too, i. e. there are no language problems. All procedures are done by Tunisians and Tunisians. There were no molestations, as in other talas from masseurs. We were satisfied with the procedures, they took a course for 4 days, which turned into 6 days for us.
7. The only thing worth bringing from Tunisia is cosmetics. APHRODITE shop in Hammamet opposite the Royal Azur hotel.
The seller Irina will tell you everything, she won’t load. We are satisfied with the cosmetics - we have already tried it.
8. Excursion to the Sahara - definitely a must go. Thanks to our guide Tatyana from Cartajplus. She is a professional and charming woman who led the tour from the heart and made it unforgettable.
Tatyana told us that Russian embassy workers stop at Marco Polo when they have a rest, which speaks for itself!!!
Animation does not bother itself, do not expect such concerts as in Turkey. But who wants to participate in entertainment, they are just the same every day.
From the rest there were positive emotions and from the hotel too.

Rested with her husband from 14 to 28 August. The country for recreation was carefully chosen since the month is the hottest, the travel agency employee advised Tunisia, and in this it is true, the climate is excellent, I didn’t even sweat, it’s easy to breathe, after sunset the air is slightly humid, but I’d better not take advice on the hotel.

Rested with her husband from 14 to 28 August. The country for recreation was carefully chosen since the month is the hottest, the travel agency employee advised Tunisia, and in this it is true, the climate is excellent, I didn’t even sweat, it’s easy to breathe, after sunset the air is slightly humid, but I’d better not take advice on the hotel. Its only pluses are that it is spacious and worthy dishes in the kitchen, but the variety was LITTLE in the first week, it is possible to visit a restaurant of Tunisian and Asian cuisine 3 times a week for free, they cook the latter disgustingly! Little seafood compared to Egypt, and Turkey in general pampers Russian people with food. In Marco Polo with AI food, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there was nowhere to eat, only sweets at the buffet near the pool, and after swimming you often want to eat, go far to the sea and there was no bar, I turned to the administrator to clarify why there was no bar, explained that people will come from other hotels, it’s strange, because we wear their badges on our hands and we could at least put a cooler with plain water. Mattresses need to be brought to the sea by ourselves, and they were laid out by the pool, but the places were occupied with sunrise and with a long absence of people on the sunbeds, the administration did not order the staff to pick up towels, in Turkey this was in order. Animation, in the French way, the most boring, the evenings were ruined. The rooms were not cleaned conscientiously, the bedding and towels that were colored there were not regularly changed and this is alarming! Regarding the tour, we chose the Sahara on the advice of the hotel guide, this was enough since we saw a third of the country, but the guide does not warn about the ABNORMAL extreme of the jeep trip on the dunes to the Sahara, for example, pregnant women and children, not everyone can stand this: they transferred us from the bus to a four-seater jeep of six people, there were no fastening belts, two people were put in the luggage department, it was crowded and there was nothing to hold on to, we drove along a hard road on a terrible speeds crossed the dunes like a roller coaster, one of them was like a three-story house at an angle of 80 degrees from which we rolled in reverse, the driver lost control, the guide assured that it was safe for 7 years, in general, I grew up reading the courage of a Russian person, and I then I just wanted to see the mirage that they showed me like that!

They advised this hotel in a travel agency - we went through TUI Ukraine. In principle, the hotel is not bad - it pulls on a solid 4-ku. The food is very good, but rather monotonous, in 2 weeks it manages to get fed up. Of the pleasant moments - fresh juices every morning for free and in any quantity, ice cream 3 times a day, always fresh fruit, seafood was given several times - king prawns, sea cocktail.

The rooms are decent, though the plumbing is junk - the drains in the bathroom and the sink are often clogged. We got a room with a view of the neighboring hotel, though a piece of the sea was also visible, so we got the sea view almost for nothing. The safe in the room is free, although its reliability arose after a conversation heard at the reception by a representative of one of the travel agencies with the staff about the theft of money from tourists from the safe. After that, I always carried all the cash with me, even to the beach. The quality of the cleaning was not satisfactory - the linen was not changed for 4 days until they went to the reception and asked how often this should happen. It turned out to be daily (! ), as well as a change of towels, which also did not always coincide with reality. Tipping in the form of 1 dinar did not change the situation at all...
Great pool - the largest open pool I've ever seen!
The beach is good, but go 200 meters from the hotel through a wasteland.
There is a problem with mattresses on the beach - it turns out you have to bring them yourself (! ) From the service cabin by the pool. There is no bar on the beach, the nearest one is by the pool, it's a bit annoying to run to freshen up.
True, the administrator sent several waiters to serve the beach, but they brought drinks only for tips.
Irritated also by the abundance of merchants scurrying along the beach (allegedly private! ) And offering all sorts of local consumer goods.
Perhaps all the negative points could be attributed to that, but the whole impression is a little spoiled by the fact that the rest fell on the 2nd half of Ramadan, the strictest post among Muslims, and the staff was clearly out of sorts, which is quite understandable.
However, if the management wants tourists to come during this period, then they should hire people who can work normally or close the hotel during this time...

I really liked the hotel. Spacious clean room with a terrace (took sea view). Attentive courteous helpful staff. No one squeezed out a tip, if you give all the same 1 dinar, the staff is happy and ready to fulfill any whim (although it does). Very impressed with the pool bar. The beer and wine were very good.

No one squeezed out a tip, if you give all the same 1 dinar, the staff is happy and ready to fulfill any whim (although it does). Very impressed with the pool bar. The beer and wine were very good. Strong drinks were not drunk. The cuisine is very diverse, in total, fruits, vegetables, sausages (did not eat), cheeses, always several types of side dishes, meat and fish dishes, pancakes for breakfast, all sorts of jams, honey, other sweet sauces, desserts you lick your fingers, bacon , eggs, other stuff, pizza, pasta, different sauces, I really liked the dried meat and dry wine. Very funny, funny and sociable animators. Even with a bad Russian, they will always pay attention, throw a couple of jokes, i. e. everything is done for a fun, comfortable stay. Both animators and bartenders are very happy with Russian, they strive to communicate, they want to replenish their vocabulary. True, outside the hotel there are annoying and unpleasant Arabs. It is better to walk in groups, women to be closer to men, not to be allowed to touch themselves in any way, even to shake hands. Arabs perceive this as access to the whole body, i. e. if allowed to touch, then available. There may be awkward moments. There are shops with fixed prices, and there are where they are traded. If you like to bargain, then you can drop the price offered to you at least 6 times.
In general, the hotel is just great. The money was spent only on the purchase of souvenirs and on a tour. Speaking of excursions, I don’t recommend going to the stables and boat trips. The stable stinks a lot and there is nothing to look at. Wasted money. And you should definitely go to Carthage and the Sahara.
After reading the reviews of people who stayed in a 3-star hotel, I recommend paying a little more for the tour, but in the end, the trip can be cheaper anyway, because. there will be no need to spend money on food and drinks anymore (eat, drink, get drunk) and the impressions will be only enthusiastic!! !

We arrived at the hotel at 6 pm. They settled right away. The room is big, clean. The furniture is good. The air conditioner worked like clockwork. Comments on housing, cleaning, etc. etc. during the stay was not. The food was varied. Often there was seafood. The food is top notch, but the food could have been better.

Comments on housing, cleaning, etc. etc. during the stay was not. The food was varied. Often there was seafood. The food is top notch, but the food could have been better. Hefty shrimp cooked very obscenely, almost all the taste was lost. The meat was the most varied. In the morning, constantly fried bacon, though sometimes overcooked. Boiled pork, tongue, liver are very tasty. Tuna is a total waste. Very good cheese with white mold. There were plenty of fruits and vegetables too. Heaps of different muesli and with a variety of additives. Loved the freshly squeezed watermelon juice. The wines were at a good level and were poured from taps with the right temperature (the first time I saw this). Liked the beer. Strong drinks are so-so, the truth is everywhere. Only brandy could be drunk in its pure form, the rest either with juice or in cocktails. Branded booze - filthy moonshine. It was a little upset that the animators in Russian did not boom boom, as well as the entire staff. In Russian, it was possible to communicate only with the manager, his name is Besim (Sasha). True, by the end of the holiday, many Russians and Ukrainians appeared and the staff began to slowly learn the language. The sea is clean, except when there is a surge from the sea. Then he catches up with a bunch of algae. Smallish. The sand is great. The beach is just huge until you get to the water and you can burn back. Liked the pool. The pool bar is also good. Entertainment according to the standard scheme - volleyball, darts, bow, tennis can be large and small. Shows in the evenings, though in French. Cigarettes in the city of Hammamet are terribly expensive, there is almost no choice, in Tunisia it is cheaper and there is a choice. In general, we can say 4 with a big plus.

I liked the rest in general. A little embarrassed by the complete ignorance of the Russian language by the servants and animators, but by the end of the holiday, Russian words began to slip. Maybe in a month or two they will master it. The set of products is simply gorgeous, though the cooking could have been better.

There was also pork, good bacon, a lot of seafood, tuna is just amazing. Beer and dry wines are just class. All strong complete garbage, as well as everywhere else. In its pure form, I could only drink brandy with coffee. Local exotic - Bukh reminded moonshine in the most remote village.
