I think African Queen Hotel 4 * is quite a good hotel for a budget holiday.
1) The hotel is beautiful, very large territory, there is a swimming pool with slides.
2) The sea is 10 minutes walk. The hotel's own beach is very good, perfectly clean white amazing sand (much cleaner than the hotel, because the workers clean it in the morning and all the time) The sea is clean, beautiful, convenient for families with children, because 8 meters is shallow. There were always enough sun loungers, awnings, cold drinks in the bar for free.
3) The food at the hotel is good, we were always full, there was everything and meat and vegetables and fruits (although in Tunisia the variety of fruits is small). We ate with my grandson, the child even got better. I didn't like the fish, although I love fish very much.

4) I really liked the security of the hotel, the guys carefully monitored safety. When (after lunch at 15.00) they turned on the slides, they closed the gate on the territory, one guard stood at the top of the slides, instructed how to go down, and the second below, made sure that there was no collisions. On the beach, too, the guards always watched the territory, they just sat on the fenced border and watched.
5) I liked that the hotel had a free safe, they kept all the valuables in it and nothing was missing from us.
6) The rooms are large, comfortable, everything worked, but the TV is old and there is only 1 Russian channel. Medium size, nice balcony with table and chairs. The room overlooked the pool and the sea. Cleaned every day, tired of it, because the signs "do not disturb" disappeared somewhere.
7) There is something interesting to see in Tunisia, unfortunately I was with my grandson, but reviews about excursions to the capital, the desert, etc. were enthusiastic. My grandson and I went to a huge wonderful entertainment center in Hammamet-Yasmine. We were there all day, very satisfied. You have to go there by taxi (5-6 local coins) in the morning, because tickets are only for entry and ride, you can watch until you drop.
8) I bought a local SIM card on the bus for $ 15 from a girl from Anex tour (and in the hotel it cost our guide10))), but I think that it was a waste of money. At the reception WIFI and later corresponded with relatives and talked on Wiber, convenient and free of charge, but it is necessary at a time when there are fewer vacationers, sometimes I did not catch the Internet well.
It is easier to exchange money at a hotel, especially since the exchange rate is the same everywhere and you need to take a certificate of exchange so that you can return the unused money, because you can’t take out the local currency.
Now for the cons
1) Tunisia (however, like Russia))) is not the cleanest country, and if it doesn’t infuriate you, then everything is fine, because the garbage on the street leading to the beach didn’t infuriate me.
2) The biggest evil for me and my grandson were night discos, although the hotel seemed to be family-run, but the music rattled at midnight and later we got used to falling asleep to it with the balcony doors closed.
3) Some vacationers said that there was theft in the rooms, but we used the free safe and nothing was missing from us.

4) Keep in mind that the oblug does not know Russian, only English, French and there are many Arabs in the hotel. But they are adequate, friendly people, my grandson even became friends with Arab boys
In general, the memories are good, I got a bunch of medical preparations, but thank God they didn’t get sick with anything and the flight with my grandson was well tolerated (the boy was at sea for the first time and was on an airplane). Back in general, everyone slept easily and flew in the morning.
