We were in this hotel with my mother and sister from June 19 to June 26.2013. I want to say right away - everything is fine for such a budget!
FLIGHT
UIA delayed the flight for 5 hours, unpleasant, but what can you do. As a consolation from UIA - lunch at IL PATIO, located in terminal F. I don’t know who screwed up here - airlines or a restaurant, but in my opinion, self-respecting companies will not feed people like that. The coupon says that the cost of lunch is 120 UAH, which includes: Caesar salad from bitter cabbage and without chicken, but with rotten cherry tomatoes, broth with 2 pasta, but edible and a handful of undercooked pasta with one plate of champignon. It is better not to feed at all than to feed such a one.
Upon arrival, we immediately encountered the cunning of the locals. For helping my elderly mother to ride a suitcase 30 m, they demanded 3 bucks. it would be nice to just ask, otherwise it brazenly demanded. It's just unpleasant.
ROOMS
We arrived at the hotel at midnight. Settled quickly. We bought two separate rooms for my mother and me and my sister, received the keys to 160 and 154. We entered the room and fell into a quiet horror. Damp, wretched, view from the balcony to the wall, (rooms on the ground floor). The bathroom is leaking water on the floor. The second number is exactly the same. Saddened. I read the reviews and was ready for the fact that the hotel was not great, but the smell of dust from the cabinets upset and spoiled the whole holiday mood. In the morning I turned to Lyuba, the guest manager, and we were offered two options to choose from at no extra charge. We chose a spacious two-room suite in the Royal in exchange for our two sad ones. WITHOUT PAYMENT!!! ! All questions on resettlement are decided by the deputy director personally - Fikret, he is Turkish and very friendly and courteous.
Room 1321 is wonderful, bright, the furniture is normal, the elevator is nearby, the view of the small pool. my mother was only annoyed by Arabic melodies in the evenings, obsessively tearing the speakers. We asked to be quieter, thank you, we were heard.
In general, I would like to say a huge thank you to Luba the guest manager. She is just a wonderful, kind and sympathetic person!! ! He resolves all issues immediately and with such kindness that it’s a sin to complain about something! People who are going there, bring condensed milk to Luba!! ! Please a good person!! ! She misses her!!!
TERRITORY
The territory of the hotel is very cozy and compact, very clean, the garden is well-groomed, everything blooms and smells! the staff is friendly.
To the sea you have to walk along a cozy alley, not at all stressful, but rather pleasant and useful.
The beach is large, but it seems that there are not enough sunbeds for all tourists. Sunbeds are booked with striped towels as early as 7 am. The Russian tourist does not sleep!! ! It is not realistic to find a free one at 9, and what is paradoxical is that there are not many people at this time either. One gets the impression that all sleepy ones come running, laying and running away to fill up, and by 11 they crawl... But this is not very sad, we are accustomed to the mentality of Russo-tourist-like Amorale.
FOOD
In the canteen it’s exactly the same, though places are reserved there with panama hats, baby papillae, masks and flippers, etc)))))))))
The food is ok, a bit monotonous like everywhere else, but there is always something tasty to eat. Amazing donuts are fried there for breakfast, I would return to the hotel for them)))))))
And for dinner there is always mashed potatoes and goulash with gravy, just like in childhood. Well, and a lot of other delicious things. upset cucumbers and tomatoes, they are not juicy, hard. probably because they grow in the shade of oases.
I don’t know, many complain, but the food suited me very well, everything is always tasty and clean, and despite the secrecy of our tourists to row grub with basins, everything is always in abundance, including appliances and plates. Someone here wrote that the staff in the dining room makes fun of tourists - nothing like that, everyone is very friendly, polite. All this is nonsense. Everything is fine.
SERVICE AND ATTITUDE FOR TOURISTS
I have already mentioned that everyone is friendly and welcoming. My mom managed to trip and break her arm on the beach. at the reception, without question, they gave a first-aid check, they say, choose what you need. They offered to contact the doctor through the insurance, but they managed with peroxide, betadine and sterile wipes.
Aunts who clean the room are magic-positive! They cleaned well, laid flowers on the bed, fulfilled any requests even without a tip.
The waiters are very polite, they will bring what you ask, maybe not immediately, but they will bring it.
But outside the hotel, the people will be rude. Well, something like that, after the Arabs in Egypt, you are not surprised at anything.
EXCURSIONS
I was in the zoo and the Sahara for 2 days.
Excursion to the zoo does not justify the cost - 54 dollars. Yes, interestingly, there are many animals, their conditions are better than in our Kiev zoo. but it's still a pity to look at them, crocodiles, white tigers, and lions are just frozen and do not even move. Giraffes fall into quitrent - well, it seemed to me, although this temperature and climate are normal for them, but all the less... Meerkats amused me, and guinea pigs smiled sooo much)))) But the dolphinarium definitely corrected the feeling that I wasted my money. The dolphin show is wonderful, I already squealed with delight. Then I ran to take a picture with a dolphin, it costs 25 dinars. But for the sake of touching a dolphin, I would fork another 50 bucks))))
But the Sahara excursion made my vacation rich and full of impressions!! ! I read in the reviews that many go to Tunisia for this, and now I am one of them ! ! I highly recommend to everyone! ! Spare neither money nor time, if you like exotic things go ahead!
The program is full of impressions - the Colosseum in El Gemma, the life and existence of the Berbers in mink houses, their way of life, history - everything is interesting, impressive and informative!
Upon arrival at Duzz for an overnight stay at the hotel, those who wished to go to the desert on ATVs, including me. THIS IS THE BEST THING HAPPENED TO ME!! ! Sandstorm, drive, speed, and JUMP ON A QUAD BIKE FROM A 2-METER DUNE - this is something unimaginable. Thank God that I remained intact))) The cost of this pleasure is 35 dinars
Immediately upon our return, we were taken to the "other" desert. there, those who wished to climbed on camels and went deep into the dunes to see off the sun. Beautiful, and the sand no longer sweeps in the ears and eyes. But my camel was some kind of glutton, every now and then bent over to pinch the thorns, but it was not convenient for me. Sunset in the desert is not just beautiful, it's fantastic!
The next day at 5 in the morning we were already on the Salt Marsh - a salty desert, where we met the dawn - also unforgettably beautiful.
and at 5.30 we were transferred to jeeps and driven....and again extreme, turns along the dunes, steep descents and ascents, unusually beautiful desert landscapes, incl. the legendary Lunar landscape from Star Wars, and indeed, the impression that the pictures of the desert, which I saw since childhood, came to life !!!!
In general, I was completely satisfied!!!
I highly recommend this budget hotel! Sea, sand and climate, exotic and extreme - that's what it's worth going to Tunisia! Bad things are forgotten, but pleasant impressions remain for a long time! And there were more of them!
Have a good holiday everyone!! !
