Review of ELDORADOR ALADIN Djerba Tunis
Our holiday on Djerba in Tunisia came at the end of June.
Climate:
The first thing to note is the pleasant climate. There is no sweltering heat, a gentle breeze, and an unusually warm sea !! ! At night it was comfortable to sleep simply with the balcony door open, the air conditioner was practically not used. There are no annoying insects, in general - grace!
About Aladin Hotel:
We chose a hotel focused on families with children, but inexpensive. Since there were no reviews on the Internet, they relied only on the advice of the tour operator. Immensely grateful to "Helis-Tour" for the strong recommendation to go to the Alladin Hotel. Hotel ***; the room is spacious, but there is no hair dryer, no TV (this was warned back in Moscow), this is where the disadvantages of living conditions end. We took a hair dryer with us, and watched the European Football Championship in the evenings on the big screen in the bar, it was even more spectacular.
About nutrition:
For breakfast - rice porridge with raisins, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages and cereals, donuts and tortillas. The child really missed oatmeal and semolina, but they squeezed juice from fresh oranges and ate watermelons. For lunch and dinner - an abundance and variety of second courses: spicy, and fresh, and stewed, and fried, and meat, and fish, and chicken, and what not - once they even cooked rapans. There were shrimp, and squid, and mussels. A lot of vegetables in all forms: both stewed and raw, in the form of side dishes and salads. From fruits: watermelons, melons, dates, peaches, plums. Ice cream is very watery, similar to our sherbet, but very tasty mousses, creams, cakes, pastries. Baking is just a fantastic variety. Delicious always freshly baked white bread. They serve soups for dinner, usually mashed soups, sometimes spicy. I must say, there was always bottled water in any quantity, unlike the neighboring hotel, by the way ****. Accordingly, there was no shortage of food and water. For afternoon tea they have pancakes and donuts. During the day, only water, soda, tea, coffee and local alcoholic drinks + beer. There is a restaurant on the beach where everything needs to be ordered in advance - delicious.
About the territory:
The area is large with a huge number of ever-flowering plants and palm trees. It's like being in a botanical garden. Incomparable pools: indoor, outdoor, located on two levels so that you can dive from one to another as from a tower, with a zone for playing water polo. Children's pool with a waterfall. The water is moderately chlorinated. So in terms of landscaping, only enthusiastic applause. The road to the beach runs among palm trees, oleanders and rhododendrons past sports grounds for volleyball, tennis, etc.
About the beach:
The beach is clean and sandy. There are a lot of sunbeds, if, of course, there is a desire to sit on the first line under a reed fungus, then you need to be early in the morning not too lazy to run to the sea and lay your towel on the right sunbed. Competently organized the protection of personal belongings on the beach. Merchants are prohibited from approaching the sunbeds area. They sell only cigarettes, pareos, palm trees and pendants in the form of stone hearts. The sea is also mostly sand, but sometimes large single stones come across. Perhaps this can be attributed to the minuses, because. there is a danger of inadvertently injuring a leg, but then we quickly looked at where people mostly go into the sea, and found a completely sandy area. Water is just magical! There were waves and calm, sometimes the algae floating near the shore strained a little, but the next day they were gone. Rubber slippers, which we bought back in Moscow, we did not need.
About excursions:
1. Excursion to the Sahara. There are diametrically opposite opinions about her. We didn’t go ourselves, so we can’t judge objectively, but the tourists of the last race were completely delighted, and the group from our race was disappointed, I can only say one thing: no matter how the guide paints, there is nothing for children to do there - it’s too hot and tiring.
2. Pirate ship. About 900 r. adult, 450 children. Great excursion! They are taken by bus to the nearest port, where a whole squadron of pirate ships is sailing to a desert island. Swim to it for about 1 hour. During this time, pirate animators paint the kids, dance, amuse people with acrobatic stunts, catch fish and crabs with a net - everyone has a lot of fun. On the island, each ship docks at its own berth. On the shore there is a huge tent with tables. For about two hours we swam on the other side of the island, and then the pirates treated us to traditional Tunisian dishes: couscous, tortillas, salad and fish. For dessert, watermelon and tea (lunch is included in the price of the tour). Then the pirates entertained adults by showing genre scenes that were understandable to tourists speaking any language. Our children, and we were delighted, the pictures turned out very colorful and funny.
3. Excursion to the crocodile farm. We decided to go to the farm by taxi, it turned out cheaper and more convenient in time. The main thing is to arrive at the farm by 17-00, because at this time the crocodiles are fed - a very spectacular sight: a teeming crowd of predators gnaws fresh meat with a crunch. Brrr. Impressive. We also recommend traveling with four people, because in this case, you will buy a family ticket for only 30 dinars (about 700 rubles). This will also include an independent inspection of the ancient Tunisian settlement, which gives an idea of the way of life of this people.
About Taxi:
A huge number of yellow cars, the fare costs a penny, the calculation is by meter, i. e. no problem.
About souvenirs:
We recommend buying them in the nearest town of Medun. There are a large number of civilized shops with fixed prices. It is very convenient. You can buy the same thing in the market and in the hotel shops, but there the initial price is raised so high that it is then a very dubious pleasure to bargain in broken French. The store is still cheaper and nicer. In addition to thematic souvenirs, we bought leather belts for all our men (they cost about 8 dinars - about 180 rubles), and leather bags for women (from 15 to 20 dinars - 300-500 rubles). We also bought Arabic outfits - very beautiful and feminine.
About Helis-Tour employees:
The most pleasant impression about the children's animator. Inna is a sensitive, energetic kind person, with burning lights in her eyes. Even the French kids ran after her tail, not to mention ours. During the day, we did not personally use her services, but in principle, one could fearlessly entrust her child to her. In the evening for children there is a daily "children's library" with a dance program. We rarely stayed at the adult program, since adult animation is carried out exclusively in French, but sometimes there were very interesting and understandable numbers, for example, dances, magic tricks, a number with snakes.
Summary:
In terms of price-quality, I would give the hotel a solid five, even with a plus. Personally, we were very pleased. I am surprised at those people who continue to travel to our south for the same money, and more often more expensively - they are crazy!! ! ALL TO JERBA!! !
