Good day and time to all! I must say right away that the review is deliberate and I really want to be objective ...I don’t know if it will work.
I'll start in order, the three of us rested in mid-July, my husband, son and I. Our flight was delayed for 3 hours, we flew with AZUR air, though they warned us 4 hours before departure - SMS and email sent a letter, a very worthy crew and quite decent feeding.
We arrived in Djerba at 21.30, we were met and put on the bus by the tour operator Anextour, we were accompanied by a guide named Samir, a professional and plus a wonderful person, special thanks to him, he never refused help during the entire stay and did not impose an excursion program. By coincidence, we arrived at the hotel alone, we were told that they would even feed us in this hotel ...we were very pleased with this fact, but we were more thirsty! We went to the reception, there we were met by a middle-aged man ...
They greeted each other in gibberish-French (it was lucky that they taught it at school, I had to strain my brain and remember the basics of French speech). The receptionist handed us papers to fill out and began to say something, to be honest from the whole speech we only understood - the pool, having long explanations with each other, prepared $ 10 and a room overlooking the "sea" and our pool. We did not become greedy and let the person earn. They settled us on the 4th floor overlooking the pool and conditionally "sea", why conditionally, but because you still need to walk 500 meters to the sea. . but more on that later.
About the room: clean, bed linen is fresh, but not new, washed towels and not very presentable, furniture leaves much to be desired, very old, but generally tolerable, if not capricious. On the table there is a bowl of fruit (2 oranges, 2 nectarines and 2 plums) - this was our dinner, my men who were going to have a bite to eat were disappointed.
True, there was a bottle of water and it was already good ! ! !
We decided to go downstairs, look for a bar, found one paid, the second until 23.00, managed to drink a glass of red wine and pour a sprite for the child (drinks of quite decent quality), our service was over, which is actually logical ...23 hours. Yes, I’ll digress a little, before I forget, I’ll tell you about drinks: gin, rum, booze (local vodka), wine (pink, white, red), all of very decent quality. Sprite, Fanta, Coca-Cola are also normal, juices leave much to be desired, similar to powdered drinks, tea, coffee, cocoa in the dining room are soluble, but of tolerable quality, chocolate and coffee in the bar are quite decent, this is for understanding!
She suggested that her men take a walk to the sea, as it was on the first day and not touch it ...We went beyond the territory and then a surprise awaited us, in fact, everything that crosses out all the pluses.
The road, near an incomprehensible wasteland on which a couple of camels graze, but the shock from the fence that runs parallel to the road, you must see it, the walls are all studded with fragments of bottles. The spectacle is terrifying! ! ! Seeing all this, my family said that there was nothing to wander around unfamiliar places with such "stunning landscapes" at night, it was necessary to postpone a walk to get acquainted with the beach until the morning.
In the morning we woke up at 6.30, went to breakfast, was a little disappointed, but later I realized that the cooks who fry something tasty start working later, if you want to have a full breakfast, come no earlier than 7.30. For breakfast, the assortment is average, but you will not stay hungry, there are almost dishes for all categories.
Having refreshed ourselves, we went outside the hotel, it should be noted that the guards are very polite and friendly, they always smile and say hello.
Outside the territory, they saw yesterday's nightmare, in daylight the sight is even more unpleasant, heaps of garbage, an excavated wasteland and a fence of a neighboring hotel with broken glass. If you don’t want to go through this horror, you can wait for the minibus, which starts running at 9.00, but I want to warn you right away that it’s very late for July, we were already leaving at 10.30, it’s impossible to sit on the beach - it’s hot. Even the shadow of the fence behind which we tried to contact will not save.
The beach appeared before us during cleaning work, we arrived very early by local standards, noticed that Tunisians are in no hurry, unlike the Egyptians, who start their working day at 5 in the morning, here people prefer to sleep and then get to work, well done ! But they are not lazy, they work all day. (Tunisians are completely different, unobtrusive, not grabbing hands, I really liked them, well-mannered people!
French upbringing is felt) I was a little distracted, but we will continue further, the beach is sandy, the sand is white, but there are a lot of dried algae and cigarette butts in it, sometimes small thorns come across, the beach staff try to clean it up, but as you know - it’s clean where they don’t litter! The tractor starts working around 8:00 o'clock. A strange picture, the entire coast is strewn with algae, and the tractor, instead of removing them, rakes them back into the sea ...well, maybe right, so as not to disturb the marine flora and fauna. To be honest, swimming in the seaweed is unpleasant, so we went to the line of the neighboring hotel, where the sea was much cleaner (not sure why). Within about an hour, the water cleared up, it became very comfortable and pleasant to swim. The beautiful sea plays with multi-color colors from azure to dark blue, the bottom is very transparent, you stand up to your neck and see your toes, which is extremely rare in a sea with a sandy bottom.
I can immediately say that out of the 10 days of our stay there were a lot of algae, of which only 4 days were bliss, the sea was gorgeous. About living creatures, there are very few fish, practically none, BUT going into the water one day someone stung me on the hand. It was painful and a little scary, the hand was covered with blisters and a little reddened at the site of the bite. We immediately went to the reception, unfortunately there were no Russian speakers there, so we went up to the room, treated the bite site with peroxide and boneacin, and took a suprastin tablet to all of the above ...Later I learned from my guide that these are small fish, they are not poisonous, they sting someone very rarely, but it was I who was among those "lucky ones", and then I found another colleague in misfortune, she was stung in the leg. Sameer said that to relieve the pain, you can apply a cut tomato or spread toothpaste on the bite. Well, this is so for information, but suddenly you have to face it.
We continue about the sea, it’s good to come here with children who cannot swim, a very large area of shallow water, just right for children. The water was 28-29 degrees. The first days we were saved by the wind that blew from the sea, the monsoon, the heat of 39-40 degrees was not strongly felt, but advice, take protective creams at 50! In the next three days, the wind blew from the Sahara ...khamsin, here we felt all the delights of the African summer. Even the air conditioner, which worked properly, did not save us from the heat and stuffiness, on one of these days we didn’t go to the beach in the morning, there was really nothing to breathe, we went out on the sun loungers by the pool, where you can even hide behind a palm tree and shade from the hotel. There is a continuation about the beach, there is a bar, it starts its work from 10.00-17.30, so for those who used to go to the sea before, be sure to take a small bottle of water. The bar on the beach is very friendly staff, however, as in the rest of the hotel. Soft drinks and water only. Don't count on a snack!
There is a shower and a bathroom, but they leave much to be desired, not very clean. Garbage bags are lying next to the shower, rinsing is not very pleasant, a construction pallet is used as a footrest, it is necessary to wear slates. There is a booth near the beach, which has everything for sports and water activities, by the way, the prices are quite humane compared to other countries. For example, water skiing (20 minutes of skiing) is only $20, a jet ski is $30, a parachute for 2 people is $35-40 as agreed ...quite acceptable and, which is very pleasing, security measures are observed, everything is very strict! About sun loungers on the beach: just umbrellas and sun loungers without mattresses, they come for free, there are very beautiful gazebos, I naively thought that they were for general use, but later it turned out they cost 20 dinars! Everything about the beach...
About the pool: there are always enough places near it, umbrellas, sunbeds, mattresses (which you need to take on your own near the shower on the way to the kids club). The pool itself is large with a division into children's and adult areas, well thought out, there are places. where you can reach the bottom, there is a place where you can swim, there is a small, green island in the middle of the pool, where you can take beautiful photos. The pool is clean and cleaned every morning by the hotel staff. As for me, I do not like to swim in them, but I had to spend a lot of time, because it was impossible to be on the beach in the heat, I can say one thing - the pool is very pleasant. There are showers on the territory, there are quite enough of them, Animators work on this territory all the time, at 11.00 they start playing water polo, then aqua aerobics, various games, sports activities and dancing ...in general, if you want an active holiday - for every taste.
About the bar: it is in the pool area, or rather there are 2 (the second paid) drinks for every taste, cocktails (we didn’t like them, but it’s an amateur) just keep in mind that even though it’s near the pool, no one will serve you in a swimsuit , we must take this into account, I'm not offended, still a Muslim country. The staff at the bar is very friendly, trying their best, even trying to learn Russian, some words. Yes, I almost forgot, in the evening, be sure to take water to the room at the bar, drink, brush your teeth, after 23 hours it is also paid!
About the market: you can get there by taxi, the cost is 2.5-3 dinars, the ride is about 15 minutes. I want to warn you right away: be sure to bargain, the prices are set very high, everything that we bought from gifts cost 2 times upon purchase, otherwise and 3 is cheaper! I highly recommend buying fruits on the market, they are amazing, especially figs (its price is from 4.5-5.5 dinars per kg) and grapes (the price is from 3.5-4.5 dinars per kg) we don’t have such!
About the restaurant: well, it rather resembles a dining room, the interior of course leaves much to be desired, so we preferred to eat at the tables. standing on the street, I want to warn you right away, it’s worth borrowing them for dinner in advance, it is advisable to be among the first.
As for the assortment ...it is quite rich and I don’t know about other vacationers, but we were lucky, we were fed, as they say, for slaughter. There was always fish, meat (beef, turkey, chicken), different types of pilaf, couscous, pasta to choose from, baked vegetables, pizza, fresh vegetables, fruits (watermelons and melons every day), desserts, ice cream (2 times a day, very tasty and different) without limitation. Every evening a barbecue, the assortment of which was also varied: sheep, geese on a spit, huge tuna, crabs on a fire, mussels ...in general, they were satisfied with the food. Well done, the staff is trying ...True, it was necessary to stand up for all the yummy, but in general, as elsewhere.
About animation: senior animator Dido, he is certainly well done, ubiquitous. He manages to build his subordinates, manages to do gymnastics (which is not just waving his hands, but really 40 minutes of exhausting exercises). manages to show the ladies a master class in dancing, manages to get you to a paid restaurant (by the way, I’ll immediately digress and say ...it’s not worth the money, we didn’t go ourselves, we heard a lot of negative reviews from compatriots who had the imprudence to subscribe to all this, for the most part people were disappointed, so draw conclusions, some then went to finish eating in the dining room), I got distracted, I’ll return to the animation, of course it’s not bad, it won’t be boring, but my child grew up and refused to go to the evening show, and I saw a lot of things in my life, so To be honest, we were not interested!
As for daytime activities, I enjoyed attending water aerobics, my son played volleyball and took an active part in sports. To be honest, yes, the guys are trying, but not the highest class, still grow, grow. .
Yes, I almost forgot, from 11.30 am a mini restaurant by the pool starts working, you can have a bite to eat. who is hungry, the assortment is not rich, BUT - very tasty french fries, a burger (with sausage, I don’t eat it, so I didn’t try it, my son liked it, he took it several times) and pizza (quite acceptable, also from his words). You definitely won't leave hungry. Yes, sometimes after breakfast all sorts of sweets and fruits are brought to the bar, this is around 10 o'clock, we were usually at that time at sea. . so I can't say anything.
Perhaps this is all. In general about the hotel. . not bad, the territory is of course small, but well-groomed, clean, guarded. There is a mini-zoo and a mini-city.
The rest, as practice shows, are useless and not interesting (especially a pirate ship, our friends went, they were very disappointed) do not waste money, it’s better to spend more time at sea ...Well, and there, to whom. what do you like.
About cleaning the room: they left 1-2 Dinars, the cleaners are not heard, not seen, they clean them efficiently, they try, they even make compositions from towels and flowers. How the Egyptians do not beg for money for cleaning and do not get bored! I want to warn you, towels are taken at 11 o'clock and until 14 o'clock you will not see them, if you need a towel, put it on the balcony.
In general, I want to say the hotel is good, but it doesn’t pull perfectly, it has its drawbacks. I don’t know if I will return there, but I’ll definitely come to Djerba again, the sea and sand are gorgeous!
All in all, the 10 days of rest were enjoyable. Thank you Sidi Mansour!
