Dirty, poorly cleaned, towels made them change. Unsanitary everywhere. On the 3rd day of rest, I felt sick, drank a sorbent - by the evening I was released. After another 2 days, she feels sick again - she again took the sorbent. After arriving home, I felt nauseous. After 4 months of my torment, I felt even worse: I was constantly sick, my stomach ached. I had to call an ambulance. Etc. At this time, the child began to have pain in the abdomen. How many health problems - do not describe. We are still being treated: the consequences for the body (immunity, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, problems with the joints, etc. ) of mine and my daughter. We have already spent so much on discovering the cause of pain and nausea and treating that our ticket to this accursed hotel backfired on us... As they say in one fairy tale: "Do not go to Africa for a walk children... " a terribly dirty hotel !! !

Travel agency Ice Nut (Valeriya), Tour operator Biblio Globus, Transaero!
I’ll start over, the flight was delayed for 2 hours (can you imagine what it means to sit on the plane for 2 hours with a 2.6-year-old child), the departure was supposed to be at 22.15, in fact at 00.30 I don’t remember exactly (all this time we were waiting for the take-off in the plane - I don't know if this is good or bad - decide for yourself).
Soared-clapped!
Arrived local time at 1 am (our time at 4 am) everything is well organized at the airport, everything is clear and everything ran very quickly!
We arrived at the hotel, we were met by sleeping hotel staff, it was dark everywhere! Our "wonderful holiday" begins! The room was given with 2 + 1 accommodation, a bed for a child was offered near the window overlooking the pool, moldy chairs, a bird's nest on the window, I hope, or someone else's!
We ask for another room, we paid $ 10, so we examined about 5 rooms (you understand, yes? one in the morning, a small child - we rush about, we are looking for a room for which we paid) we go further, in general we stopped in a more or less normal room, with the condition to get in the morning with a view of the city (there were no other options, another view is a pool where animation takes place, which my daughter and I don’t need) in the morning the person who was given the money changed, but Thank God, a few days later, passing by a retractable room, I found a clean room, the administrator immediately allowed to move without additional payment, moving is generally a separate issue, a lot of bags, half of them are laid out in lockers, but they moved! Well, they didn’t let us relax, we were flooded !!! ! They changed the room without talking, moved all the things (5 suitcases were collected again) (you know what I mean, right?
) I also found the room with the help of the cleaners when they were cleaning (by the way, the cleaning there is excellent, daily, at the request they brought us 3 pillows, because my daughter slept with us, 3 blankets, but they don’t understand the word oilcloth even in English, they brought instead of it, a garbage bag is super, right? ) Let's move on! As for the food, I’ll say that everything was very tasty, breakfast is always the same: rice porridge, eggs, baked tomatoes, sweets, yogurt with cereal was very tasty, well, sausage (peculiar, but you can eat it), tasteless cheese, coffee, cocoa , for lunch, pasta, rice, couscous, potatoes, vegetables, salads are basically the same, soups are all spicy, it was extremely difficult for a child to choose dishes, but they ordered pasta without sauce, but it was bad without hot soup, fortunately with chair was no problem! For children, as they described to us in the travel agency, namely Valeria, there is nothing, absolutely, the mini-club is, to put it mildly, dirty (unfortunately I can’t show the photo, because
pictures on the phone, which I forgot on the plane, from such a vacation I wanted to run further than you see), there is no playground at all, the swings and the slide were dirty and folded in the mini club, the children's pool is dirty and not working, the toilet near the pool is disgusting, fall with the child it’s possible for one or two, a lot of water, a drain in the sink that doesn’t work, and the size of the room itself doesn’t even allow you to normally close the door without sticking with your daughter to each other and to the dirty and wet wall! They didn’t give alcohol at the pool bar (all inclusive! ), they went to the hotel for it, always in clothes, for some reason only we had to go, the rest went in shorts and took everything without any problems! I'll tell you about the way to the sea! Valeria Sergeeva from the travel agency assured us that to the sea, we only have to cross one road, and not even a road, but an alley, in fact, we crossed the road, walked 500 meters on foot, then another road, (!!!!!!
one woman was sold a tour with a sea view!!!!!!! ! the second line is 500 m from the sea (by the way, we were told 300 m) and a view of the sea, can you imagine) we hardly found our beach, a sign with the name of the hotel, similar to the one we hang in Moscow during restoration. The bar by the sea is simply "chic" I didn’t dare to sit on any of the chairs, everything was so greasy, dirty, there was a refrigerator with ice cream at the bar, as I first thought, oh no, they have such a trash can))) The sunbeds were free , there were no mattresses for them (unlike other beaches), there were no urns on the beach, except for the aforementioned one with "ice cream". The sand (if clean) is amazing, like flour, fine and pleasant to the touch. The most interesting - the SEA!
The sea is amazing, really cool, you have to get used to it, in Egypt it is 1000 times warmer, but not about that, the main thing is that it was impossible to go into it, on the shore there were mountains, algae thrown out by the sea, camel (sorry) feces, everything is very similar to manure , only without smell, we had to go closer to the bay, but there was a lot of garbage on the beach, but a clean entry into the sea, we actually swam there, there are jellyfish, not a lot, but my father-in-law bit me, the bite quickly passed, I'll go back to cleaning on the beach, cleaned one tractor for the entire beach, consider that they did not clean it. In the bar on the beach, alcohol was paid, beer cost 0.33 ml 100 rubles.
I will return to children's rest, one of the entertainments for the child, it was a children's playroom, which was with garbage and cigarette butts, though 4-5 tables, 10-15 chairs, two types of Lego-type constructor - it was! We chose a more or less clean place and played there.
As soon as we entered, the animator ran in, though he immediately left, a few days later in the same room, the same animator ran in and tried to explain to me that I should clean up after my child in this room, okay, we accepted it, after two minutes the same animator ran in with another to help, explaining to us that at 17-00 for some reason, we have to leave the room, her work supposedly stops, and where this work of theirs was, I didn’t notice, I sat with the child myself, he plays and plays, no gotta kick it out! I went to the reception, explained everything to the administrator, she called the animator though another, maybe the main one - I don’t know! We decided to call the guide, after a scandalous conversation with the guide, animators, etc. , etc. , the guide told us that from 9-00 to 21-00 we can play there without any problems, at my request to remove the dirt from the game room I was ignored 10 times, so they didn’t remove anything before leaving, though once they collected large garbage and that’s in plain sight, but the bulls in the corner didn’t notice!
In general, decide for yourself whether it is worth it for you to risk your vacation in such a hotel! I will never go back there again, that's for sure! The guide told me that the review that we leave on the way to the airport will be considered, I really hope so, although in our country the laws always turn against people like me! Have a good holiday elsewhere!

Kitchen: good. Quite a varied menu. All food is delicious. There are high chairs for babies in the dining room.

Bar: Bottled water (handy when you go to the beach or go on an excursion). Several monotonous alcoholic cocktails (mostly "interfere" with the ingredients that are available). Good draft beer (although they add carbonation - a bottle under the counter). Two or three kinds of different wines. Free strong alcoholic drinks (there is definitely vodka, rum, gin - what they took with me). "Snack" is offered only at certain times, mainly cakes of various kinds.

The territory of the hotel: one swimming pool in working order (another one is not working and is surrounded by a fence made of reeds), a lot of free sun loungers with mattresses and umbrellas. The waterfall is included in the pool only in the mornings for a while.
The amphitheater is in an abandoned state, where it was apparently once planned to hold all sorts of concerts. Slot machine hall (for a fee) - 4 slot machines are available. Abandoned children's room. Animators are rare and sluggish. "Disco" is, but no one dances. There is also a thalassotherapy salon on site.

Rooms: we got number 103 first floor. The faucet in the bathroom is constantly leaking. The general button for turning off the light in the room does not work (the one next to the exit door), therefore, before each departure, I had to run around the room and turn off each lamp. There was no hair dryer promised in the room. The bathroom had only 2 soaps and toilet paper. There were no glasses. Cleaned up every day. Linen and towels are changed every day. Hot and cold water is always available, with good pressure. The sink doesn't drain well, and so does the bathtub.
The air conditioner was capricious only on the last day - it stopped blowing cold, but after lunch it worked. The air conditioning system - I did not understand whether it was general for the hotel, or individual. But at least there are temperature and fan speed settings. If you do not ventilate - the air in the room is stale, it smells like something like mold. There is an exit to the street like an individual balcony with a table and two chairs, one towel dryer, which is not very convenient, since two towels and swimwear had to be dried constantly. Hotel towels for the beach and pool can be taken only for an additional fee.

Internet: free WIFI in the lobby. The password must be obtained at the reception. The speed is good (I didn't measure it, but "vkontaktik" loads quickly).

The "beach" of the hotel: fenced to the "sand zone". Free umbrellas and sun loungers are available. In the bar on the beach you can buy beer, hookah.
Theoretically, you can take soft drinks for free (did not take). The "sand" zone of the beach is littered with algae and garbage, which no one removed, so they sunbathed on "our beach", and went to swim on others.

Overall assessment of the hotel on a 5-point scale: 3 plus.

I have only been to Arab countries three times (two of them in Tunisia), and here's what I want to say... Arabs are very LAZY and DIRTY people! We were placed in room 206. There is no balcony, there is a small incident with the toilet, but all these are flowers. We did not come there to live, but only to wash and sleep. … More ▾ I have only been to Arab countries three times (two of them in Tunisia), and here's what I want to say... Arabs are very LAZY and DIRTY people! We were placed in room 206. There is no balcony, there is a small incident with the toilet, but all these are flowers. We did not come there to live, but only to wash and sleep. I advise the cleaner to immediately leave a dollar. She will be smiling and friendly with you, and it will be good to clean up.
Unfortunately, at the very end of August, it began to rain in Hammamet and it rained for about five days, no less, although the guide girl assured us upon arrival that it was only once. But thank God, the clouds finally left and the sun came out. The sea was gorgeous, before the big waves. They brought garbage into the water. And on the day of our departure (8.09) the beach was full of rubbish (bottles, bags, diapers, etc. ) It's a pity that no one wants to clean up there.
The bar on the beach is open from 10 am, and if you ask for juice or cola at 9.55, they will show you on your fingers what hours you can pour. Believe me it happened! Beer and snacks are paid. By the way, don't be alarmed if you approach the bar counter and the bartender is sleeping on the floor - this is in the order of things.
Now about the hotel.
Very old and dirty. The pool has sand and tree leaves. The waterfall is only turned on for 30 minutes. But you can swim. When there were strong waves on the sea, we swam there.
Restaurant. Looks decent, but very small buffet. Fans of vegetables will like it, but with meat it strained. If it appears, it disappears in the same second. A separate song is tables and waiters. Once at dinner, we found a free table, but someone was already eating on it, so we asked the waiter to remove the dirty tablecloth. And that's what he did - turned it over to the other side with an even bigger stain. Like this! You will have to carry cutlery yourself. No fruit at all! Blackened grapes, the same apples and peaches.
In the main bar until 9.30. also nothing to drink. Verified!
There are a lot of Arabs on vacation, so be prepared for the fact that first the waiters and bartenders are courting "their own".
It is better for people with children not to meddle here at all, because the disco by the pool yells until the very night.
And finally, I want to say that the Tunisia Lodge hotel pulls on a solid three, not a four.

The reception is spacious and green, but the hotel is very old, all the furniture is dirty. We arrived at 14 - 00, they immediately "settle us in", gave us the keys to the room and the escort, taking our suitcase, led us to the room....and then it began... the first room that they showed us was 202 - horrific!! ! dirty walls are not clear what stained floors are not washed, crumbs, rubbish, bedspreads with which the bed is covered are all in some strange stains, yellow in color, a broken seat in the toilet, a rusty bathroom. We definitely didn’t like the room, going and demanded another one, the next one was 212, but unfortunately the situation is the same, dirty chairs (stained), the bedspreads that cover the bed are also stained....scary to look at. I went to see the third number myself with an escort, as he was tired of carrying our suitcase....number 343 - is no different from those already seen - but, here is a broken toilet bowl, on which it is problematic to sit)) and it looks like in the middle of the room in front of the mirror someone was combing - a bunch of long black hair all over the floor... , we did not move into such a room! Our indignation knew no bounds, our questions about why you have such dirt, they didn’t answer us anything, just shrugging their shoulders like this... but no one even began to deny it. the best rooms are superior or suites, they said yes, of course, but they are very expensive, after what we saw, we agreed to pay extra, and lo and behold, the suite room was cleaned, it had normal plumbing, damn it, and it was clean ! ! (room 401) on at the reception they told us that it costs an additional 30 dinars / day (1.6 days = $ 1), we got about $ 130 for 7 days, they offered 100 consulted "receptionist / cashier" kindly agreed. By the way, when you go to the hotel, you need to take all the bathroom accessories with you, as you will be given only 1 soap per person, and a towel is required for going to the beach (the hotel does not provide)
Here is a short summary of everything:
the hotel is old, worn furniture, dirty.
swimming pool - there are like 3 of them, 1 central one works, there is a waterfall that is turned on for 30 minutes from about 11 am
rooms - dead, dirty old
the sea - the sea itself is gorgeous, but since the beach is a public area, it is dirty there, a lot of garbage of all kinds... , the hotel has its own sun loungers and area on the beach.
food :
breakfast - boiled eggs, salads (cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers), yogurt, jam flakes. If I manage to catch the cook, I can make you pancakes and scrambled eggs.
lunch - dinner - roughly similar, many of the dishes are seasoned with their crown tomato sauce (believe me once it's nothing but when every day it sucks), meat dishes about 3 pcs
staff - smiling guys who speak French, and local, in English. poor understanding of Russian only hello
animation - daily monotonous, at 11 aerobics then hello how are you and that's it...
in the evening you have music until one in the morning (or longer) that it is not possible to fall asleep, since the disco is by the pool and not in a specially designated place.
Additional services:
from a free tennis court, not in very good condition, a tennis table, and archery (which you can use once a week, and then we were kindly refused), massage, spa, etc. - for a fee.
