Wi-fi near the bar allowed you to watch movies. The food is excellent, every day was a day of some national cuisine (Mexican, French, etc. ). There are a lot of meat dishes. Also mussels, octopuses, etc. Ice cream all the time.
The sea is clean, it was stormy for a couple of days, but this did not stop anyone, there were no jellyfish at all. The hotel area is huge and clean.
Animation class, almost everyone spoke Russian. Several slide pools. In the city, well, there are very intrusive merchants, and if you look and don’t buy, they begin to be frankly rude.

The territory is small, a piece of the beach with sun loungers is fenced off, sellers of any garbage do not hang around between them. But they stick by the water, they can start to shove some minibuses into the hands of children... The beach is more or less clean, but the sea, in the surf zone, during the excitement, is a black emulsion of water, algae and sand.

The territory is small, a piece of the beach with sun loungers is fenced off, sellers of any garbage do not hang around between them. But they stick by the water, they can start to shove some minibuses into the hands of children... The beach is more or less clean, but the sea, in the surf zone, during the excitement, is a black emulsion of water, algae and sand.
The hotel's beach is wide (perpendicular to the sea).
Volleyball courts (2 pcs. ) are located in the depths, so the ball never reaches the sea, which is why it lives for a long time. (in other hotels with a narrow beach, the ball quickly failed, and you can’t ask the animators for a new one, everyone had to chip in).
The port and Yasmine Hammamet can be reached on the beach in 30 minutes, or by taxi for 6 dinars.
The water park is quite big.
There are no free sunbeds by the pools since seven in the morning. Moreover, half of those who occupied them use them, the rest get wet in the pool. The staff doesn't interfere. There are places on the beach.
There is enough food. Sometimes it turns out to agree on a table reservation with the waiters. In the front part of the restaurant, the ventilation copes, but not in the far part. It smells like a grill.
From alcohol, you can drink beer (light lager) and wine (red, white, pink semi-dry ordinary)
ATTENTION! All strong alcohol is not so strong. Diluted about twice.
I tried everything. I thought they were bodying in the bar, but one of the bottles of booze was opened in front of me. The result is the same. Accordingly, cocktails only smell of what should be in them.
Family rooms (family) - comfortable in a separate building. With a large (almost triple) bed and two more single beds, one of which slides under the other.
There is something wrong with the air conditioning system. How it works is not entirely clear. The control unit is mounted on the wall, all symbols have been erased from it. When the key is removed from the room, it turns off along with all the electricity, when the key is returned to its place, it does not turn on. It starts working only after randomly poking at the buttons on the control unit.
Wifi almost everywhere.
Overall, not bad. Bold minus bar!

Recently returned from vacation. I can say that the holiday was a success. There were some annoyances, but this is a trifle. The plane was moved to us for a couple of hours, so we arrived at the hotel around 11 pm. The only minus for the weight of the vacation was, this is at the settlement.

Recently returned from vacation. I can say that the holiday was a success. There were some annoyances, but this is a trifle. The plane was moved to us for a couple of hours, so we arrived at the hotel around 11 pm. The only minus for the weight of the vacation was, this is at the settlement. When booking the hotel, no one warned us about the tourist tax. On the bus, the girl said that the tax is $1 per person, children under 12 are not paid. The hotel began to demand from us a dollar per person per day, but no more than seven days. Logically, it should be 14 dollars for two, but they said 10 to pay. Where and why is not clear. If we don't pay, they said they won't let us in. Okay, they paid. They gave me a receipt. But as it turned out, this receipt did not fit if you go on an excursion to the Sahara. Again they want to pay. This was the only downside of the whole holiday. The hotel is just great. If you do not look closely at the repair. It's somehow not done very well. I was pleased that the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were not in the room at all. The weather is just great. There were strong winds from time to time, so the heat was not felt. . Although in the evening they sometimes even wore sweaters. Therefore, it was possible to be outside all day. The sea was cool at first, and then after a couple of days it became very comfortable. Sometimes it raged and there were algae, but they were immediately removed. There are a lot of pools, there is one closed and warm (on the first day it was cool, so we swam there). There are a lot of slides (joy for children). They entertained the whole day for both adults and children, it was not necessary to be bored. A very rich program. For 11 days we got so used to everyone that we didn’t want to leave. The food is simply excellent, for all tastes. Everyone will find something for themselves. For lunch and dinner they gave ice cream (very tasty). Fruits are many and constantly different. So I can say that for the second time I would gladly come back here.

Now more. 1. Settlement. We arrived at seven in the evening, we were immediately sent to eat, only then they gave us a magnetic key and we were escorted to the room. Normal overlooking the pool (there are 6 of them and one 7 closed). 2. Nutrition. Super, so many things, and fruits, and even ice cream for lunch and dinner.

2. Nutrition. Super, so many things, and fruits, and even ice cream for lunch and dinner. We just went not only there (there is something to compare with). Every day the cuisine of different countries. All sorts of drinks, cocktails and alcoholic and without, even exclusive will make you later if you leave them a tip.
3. Sea. Clean, good entry. Camels really walk, but the territory is fenced and they will not want to do it. There is a lookout on the beach. If during a storm algae will bring immediately removed.
4. Animation. This is something..... The team is big, very groovy. And during the day they entertain and agitate volleyball, tennis, aerobics and aqua, water polo, archery. In the evening, both children and adults are delighted.
5. Water park. There are two of them. One for the little ones and the other for older children and adults. We even have the only one in the city, and even that is more boring.
In general, the rest is SUPER !!!!!!! !

Traveled as a family of 2 adults and 2 children. Arrived at our room was without a balcony, paid $ 80 extra at the reception and we have a room with a balcony overlooking the sea. The room was good, everything suited us (maybe we read about large insects in the rooms earlier, this is true, I killed two cockroaches, but we are to blame for this.

The room was good, everything suited us (maybe we read about large insects in the rooms earlier, this is true, I killed two cockroaches, but we are to blame for this. We left the balcony open in the evening, and the light was on, so use the air conditioner and do not open the balcony in the evening for a long time) . The food was good, there is always something to feed the children. Alcohol is bad. Water was not in limited quantities, take as many bottles as you want. A towel is paid for the beach, but there is a store bought not expensive. The aqua park has always worked, some of the slides didn't work, but this is the day. The inventory is bad to play volleyball, well, there’s simply nothing, football is the same. In the morning at 11-00 volleyball (we played for about an hour, if you want to play without animators, you need to leave a deposit of $ 10, this applies to football, tennis and table tennis (football in the evening at 17-00 a team of animators and vacationers). Water aerobics too not about anything, whoever leads and how horrible. We arrived on September 2, the sea is clean, the beach was cleaned, but by the end we flew away on September 12, they stopped cleaning the Algae. You can immediately see the neighboring beaches where the Algae was removed, you had to move further to the neighboring beach to swim. I really liked the trip to the zoo (it’s not worth going for the whole day, 3 hours was enough). All trips from travel agencies (which provide free travel) should not go to waste your time, a complete scam. We wanted to buy a leather jacket, we came and looked at the space price tag, you can buy cheaper at home, they waited an hour and a half to be sent home, those who bought them immediately seated them, well, in general, a madhouse. Yes, the animators got tired, they imposed paid services (t-shirts with photographs, photo shoots, lotteries imposed everything), but you can probably understand them too, the end of the season is approaching, so they need to squeeze the maximum out of the tourist. We rode a scooter and flew (bargain, prices are half the price of a trade). In general, everything is fine, we really liked it. Would return to this hotel, of course yes! Have a good holiday everyone!

Vacationed in September 2016 with a family with two children 2 and 4 years. The main selection criteria were the availability of children's infrastructure and the proximity of the sea. The rest as a whole was successful. Contingent of vacationers: Russians 40%, Czechs 20%, Arabs 40%. Of the pros: + availability of various pools for children of different ages, in particular, its own water park on the territory, children's room + delicious cuisine (held days of dishes of different peoples) + first line of the sea and green area + cozy room and air conditioning Of the minuses: - Annoying camels and souvenir sellers on the beach - lack of a dedicated children's menu (at the same time children were dietary dishes for adults) - distance from the historic center of Medina Hammamet (at the same time, a taxi costs 4 dinars ~ 2 US dollars) Thanks again to the staff for their kindness and hospitality.

In May-June 2016 I visited the hotel twice: in May I was part of an info tour, and a month later I brought my family on vacation. Yes, not only the family: he took more friends. Total 9 adults and 9 children. Since the change of ownership in 2015 (the Caribbean hotel chain sold the Magic Life chain), there have been tremendous changes.

In May-June 2016 I visited the hotel twice: in May I was part of an info tour, and a month later I brought my family on vacation. Yes, not only the family: he took more friends. Total 9 adults and 9 children. Since the change of ownership in 2015 (the Caribbean hotel chain sold the Magic Life chain), there have been tremendous changes. Therefore, all reviews earlier than 2015 do not correspond to reality. The hotel rooms have been completely renovated. An excellent large water park has been built (although sometimes not all slides work... (?! )). The territory is ennobled and deserves praise: large, relatively green. The animation team works at a good level - well done. Lifeguards are everywhere. The beach is wide sandy. Protected by a police squad. The receptionists and guest relations manager (guest relations) are competent and try to help with any questions. Food... Here we were waiting for the first "minus" - a very meager breakfast. You will see more on the video. What can not be said about lunches and dinners - the exact opposite (tasty, plentiful, varied). Meat in various manifestations (lamb, chicken, turkey, veal - stewed, fried, boiled, grilled, battered). Literally every other day they gave a "cocktail" of seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid) and almost every day squid in batter or fried. From fruits: watermelon and melon every day, peaches, plums and apricots alternated each other and in portions. In the main restaurant, alcohol is poured by waiters (beer or wine of three types). Who can not wait - goes to the bar on their own)))). At lunch, ice cream is always free (in the main restaurant). There is a children's section in the restaurant, but there is no separate food. They fed their baby (1.4 g) with soups (mashed potatoes without spices), scrambled eggs, potatoes - everything from the common table. Attention! Many dishes are peppered, but this is not for everyone. Everything seems to be about food. SPA - for a fee. Sunbeds, mattresses - free of charge. Towels for money! Deposit 20 RSD + 1 RSD per day fee. Exchange rate: 1 US dollar - 2.1 dinars. By location: the hotel is located between Old Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet. You have to take a taxi in both directions. To Yasmine - 4-5 dinars, To the old city (the medina and the General store are located there) 5-6 dinars. Well, the main drawback: there are long queues in bars and restaurants... There are many vacationers, but there are not enough attendants. One (! ) bartender simply does not have time to serve the tourist, collect glasses, and wash them. The same thing in a restaurant: one cook does not have time to fry an omelette for 20-30 people... Well, you can see more about everything in the video.
In the end. . . The hotel is not bad, for the first holiday abroad and for families with children - definitely recommend. For former clients of "Rixos". . . - they are unlikely to like it. Have a good holiday everyone! : )

Alas, the expectations were not justified! ! ! ! I went on vacation with my wife and 2 children, 2 years and 8 years old, flew out of Kyiv, the flight to Monastir was delayed for 7 hours, this is the beginning of a "beautiful" vacation. Upon arrival, boarding the bus told the guide 3 times that we were in the Beach, but he ignored us and dropped us off at the Garden.

Alas, the expectations were not justified! ! ! ! I went on vacation with my wife and 2 children, 2 years and 8 years old, flew out of Kyiv, the flight to Monastir was delayed for 7 hours, this is the beginning of a "beautiful" vacation. Upon arrival, boarding the bus told the guide 3 times that we were in the Beach, but he ignored us and dropped us off at the Garden. When we entered the Garden, we were delighted that there were no such tourists on our voucher and the garcon from the hotel took us on foot to our hotel, it’s good that it’s not far to go. But given that in our opinion it was 4 in the morning, and in their 2, it was not very pleasant to walk around night Tunisia with suitcases. The first impressions were simply unforgettable, 2 Arabs are sitting on sofas in the dark and a bunch of leaves are lying on the floor. We asked at the reception for a family number, they gave $ 10 and we were sent to room 538 closer to the sea. Before entering our building, in the dark, we began to understand that we were in a hole and we would get out of here in 7 days.
Having entered the room, we ended up in the USSR, the refrigerator was shabby, the TV set was gnawed by ants, which were not measured on the first floor and climbed on the bed, the sheets were with yellow stains and the pillows were like from a hostel, plus the "camel" blanket also looked like a scoop (pictures posted). In the morning, when we woke up, we decided to change the room to which we were told the room was good, that there was nothing to change for and they wanted to return the money and did not understand that we were not satisfied, probably such living conditions are the norm for them. Food is generally a separate issue: the dining room is dirty, forks, spoons and napkins you need to take yourself, the tablecloths on the table are dirty, and sometimes with holes, water is poured into decanters on the bar counter, there’s nothing to eat, this devil-Arab fried for lunch all seven days only tuna, there was no ketchup for a couple of days, they said it was over, the children, apart from tasteless pizza and fries, have nothing to eat. They went to eat like hard labor.
In the pools, the water with greenery has not been changed since the beginning of the season, probably, a lot of Arabs went to the slides with their eldest daughter, if I hadn’t been trampled. The children's club can only please with the coloring given by the animator, there are no children's slides and don't believe the pictures from the net, they were made after the opening of the hotel and have nothing to do with the current state of the hotel. What pleased me so much was the sea, clean and warm for children just right, the beach is large but dirty, they don’t clean it, umbrellas from the local vine that has dried up and falls out by itself, beer at the bar is paid 4.5 dinars for a bottle of 0.33 liters. . In the hotel ALL had to find a store to buy juice, water and sausage, cheese in order to somehow feed the children in the evening. We went to the city of a taxi not expensive 4-7 dinars, depending on the time of day, cheaper in the afternoon, more expensive in the evening. Tunisians are friendly and not intrusive, they don’t grab hands like in Egypt. Ate in the evening in restaurants the food is better than in the hotel but not wow! ! !
You choose a country for your holiday, but we won’t go anymore and that’s why we are writing this review !! ! !
P. S.
This is not the first time we travel and everything suited us. The main mood in the rest, but this hotel is just awful.
We watched people come and everyone complained and tried to change the room.
Please don't go so you won't be disappointed! ! ! !

The hotel was originally planned to be 4 *, but it turned out that there were free "fours" only in the second line (check with the tour operator, otherwise it is very inconvenient to walk across the road to the beach).

A trip to Tunisia "drew" by chance. The hotel was originally planned to be 4 *, but it turned out that there were free "fours" only in the second line (check with the tour operator, otherwise it is very inconvenient to walk across the road to the beach). After a long wait at the Vnukovo airport and a 4-hour flight, there was a 1.5-hour transfer to the hotel from the Monastir airport. While on the way we visited several other hotels... In general, we got to the hotel late in the evening, tired, hungry... We were pleasantly pleased that we were well fed, although the guide did not promise us this. Bottles of water were allowed to be brought into the room. In principle, this is not allowed, but then we often took fruit, pastries, and drinks with us. There is a lot of food, there is both the usual European, and very spicy - local, they often gave seafood and fish, drinks, ice cream. In general, losing weight is problematic. Very good news was that the territory of the hotel is 10 hectares and a lot of greenery: palm trees, magnolias... Very clean sandy beach - people can be counted on the fingers. Umbrellas - free of charge, sunbed - 1dinar, deck chair - 1/2dinar. Bar on the beach. Mostly people hang out near the pools (there is a slide). There were no strangers (meaning local) on the beach by the sea. The beaches are patrolled by mounted police, but as I understand it, so that the merchants do not bother the vacationers. At the time of check-in, they give out a plastic card (who has everything included), my advice is to immediately go to the bars and check what you can take for yourself for free. Although the alcohol there (like whiskey) is not very good, I really liked the local table wines. I want to note right away for hookah lovers there is a hookah bar! And there is such a wonderful hookah man Nady! A person simply loves his work, and smoking a hookah turned into a double, triple pleasure! The hotel has animation, the guys run like crazy from early morning until late at night. In the evening, all sorts of theatrical performances are arranged, there is also a disco. Friends from other hotels came to visit us because we had more fun. I know that there is a kids club on site, but I don't know the opening hours. The staff is very well trained, linen and towels in the room are changed daily. They left 1 dinar for tea, every other day. Our room was above the main entrance, at first they wanted to change, but then it turned out that everything was nearby (reception, shop, bars, restaurants) and changed their minds. Moreover, the view of the Atlas Mountains also had its advantages. I liked it so much that I didn't want to leave!
PS. If you have any questions - write, I will answer everyone.
