Никому отель не рекомендую I do not recommend this hotel to anyone

Tune in for a huge review point by point, because there is very little information about the hotel)
So, I rested in this hotel - a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old sister and our mother. We were there for a week - from 07/04/10 to 07/11/10. In fact, the hotel is 3 *, as it says on it. Further details.
SETTLEMENT. Arrived in Tunisia (Monastir airport) at about five local time. We flew from Transaero, arrived almost on schedule - no complaints. We were met by the Leptis Tours company, we will try not to travel with it anymore. Our bus went to Hammamet via Sousse, settling people along the way (very slowly) in hotels. Of the entire bus, we arrived the very last - about de-vya-ti according to the local! Where is "15 minutes from the international airport of Tunis Carthage" I did not understand. We did not expect this. With all this, it was about +16 degrees in the bus, and we were in tops, even without jackets! I'll tell you right away about the guide - he lured us on excursions with the words "you have a bad hotel, very boring, take more excursions. " For some reason, I personally felt uncomfortable. We did not go on excursions. but next time we will definitely go to the Sahara) Upon arrival at the hotel, we were settled in 10 minutes, served soft drinks (I was touched), the room was given the best one at my smiling request - overlooking the pool, on the third floor. Usually we paid extra 20 dollars for a room (Egypt, Turkey)

CONTENT. THE MOST IMPORTANT! One of the worst things about the hotel. 90% of vacationers are Arab women with children and a local PIONEER CAMP! Person 50 Arab children without parents, living by 6 people in rooms designed for a maximum of three. If anyone suddenly wants to go to this hotel, get ready for loud Arabic speech around the clock, just as loud MUSIC from eight in the morning until four at night, always screaming babies, their mothers, bathing in all attire, including a headscarf and other joys. The hotel walls are like cardboard, you can hear EVERYTHING. It was terrible.
FOOD. The food amazed me. Of course, I'm spoiled for 5* hotels with ultra-all inclusive meals. But I didn't expect this at all. On the first day we came to the closing of the restaurant. Okay, the same Arab crowd. But there was almost no food left, there were no tables left. Spat and went to the store (2 minutes walk). Breakfast is a song. From edible - 2 types of rolls, which have never changed in a week (! ), eggs (both hard-boiled and soft-boiled in one place - guess where), fresh white baguettes, chopped butter in a bowl. The rest is only conditionally edible - 3 types of terrible flakes (and I thought you couldn’t spoil them), potatoes or rice in terrible fluorescent oil, some kind of sour sour cream, a couple of different varieties of jam, terrible sausage (1 kind), cheese. About drinks - 2 types of yuppies (I haven’t tried it), coffee (very strong, not bad in principle, but if you come late, there will be one cake left), cold and hot milk, black and green tea bags (terrible), cocoa (they interrupted ). That's all. The range for the week has not undergone any changes. Better with dinner. There was different meat - chicken, meatballs, meat in sauce. Most often, they succeeded in meat, advice from me personally - if you take something, try a small piece first, it can be very spicy or nasty. Various side dishes - pasta, terrible potatoes, good couscous, terrible salads. Oh yes, there was also some kind of fish (sardines? ), sometimes a tasteless meat and potato casserole, something else, I don’t remember now. In general, there is a lot of food, but most of it is tasteless. But the desserts are gone. Delicious pies (it seems nutty), tiramisu, ice cream (! ) often, 2-3 different varieties, very tasty). Separately - FRUITS AND VEGETABLES! ! That's horrible. The guide on the bus tempted us with the fact that "now is the season of all frts". We got only watermelon, less often melon, and only for dinner. Dreams of cucumbers and tomatoes were also in vain. Darkness. The restaurant itself is cramped, stuffy and noisy, but once all the tables were suddenly taken out to the pool and covered in the fresh air. It was wonderful. The music was turned on quietly, and not "clever-witted-witted", but something gentle and pleasant. True, it was dark (even the pool was not illuminated oO), but still liked it. Drinks at dinner - for an additional fee, and only water, beer and cola - tea and juice from them will not be interrogated for any money. Oh yes, there was also lunch, we didn't take it. I advise everyone to come for breakfast and dinner by the opening, breakfast goes from 7 to 9, dinner is also from 7 to 9)) I have never seen such a short time anywhere.
SERVICE. The hotel touchingly tries to seem better than it is. We left a little tip to the cleaning lady - in exchange we received swans from towels, everything was decorated with beautiful flowers for us. Cleaned up well, washed everything. But the hotel itself is brr. Everywhere dust, dirt, plaster flies around. Everywhere there are plates with the remnants of food, on the stairs, sorry, someone vomited - everything was just like that. Speaking of plates. We were told the rules of the hotel - as everywhere else, do not bring food into the territory, do not take out food from the restaurant, do not take towels from the room. So, the rules exist only in words. In fact, everything is possible. She left the restaurant (what the hell is a restaurant? canteen! ), waving a baguette and with a glass in her hand. Passed by the cleaners in a towel from the room. They brought a whole pizza to the hotel. Zero emotion. And yet, no one was there. Their problems.
ROOM. I repeat - the room we got one of the best. But that doesn't mean he's good. The first day I was close to fainting. Dirty paint stains everywhere! Didn't wash anything! The toilet looked like a horror - the whole seat was covered with paint (blood? ), the bedspread on the bed was covered in blood in some places, everything was burned with cigarettes. The pressure in the shower is one name, a thin trickle of indefinite temperature. That is, not in the shower, but in the bathroom - there is a full bathroom. By the way, the bathroom and toilet are separate - I was glad. The toilet is flushed 3 times. But there are also pluses. The room is large with a large balcony. Furnishing - like everywhere else. There is a safe - not used. The trouble with towels - there were always not enough of them, either large or small. TV shows 5 channels, French and Arabic, English, and even more so there are no Russian channels. The minibar is not filled, it is free. There are not enough outlets, the TV outlet must be turned on like a light!

BEACH AND POOL. The beach is amazing. I have never seen such sand before. The sea is good, the sunset is normal. Sometimes it was dirty, especially in the sea. There is no bar at the hotel on the beach, well, we didn’t need it. BEWARE jellyfish! Mom was bitten by a jellyfish on the very first day, if it bites you, rub the bite with sand! Helps. No one will tell you where the beach is, we found it only on the 3rd day. I’ll explain where it is - exit the hotel gate, go left, past the Mehari hotel, cross the road there and see the hotel’s sign. The separation of the beaches is very conditional, we used both sunbeds and hmm mattresses for sunbeds of the Zodiac hotel, for free, no one told us anything. There are no towels at the pool or on the beach. I do not advise you to buy anything on the beach, especially fruits, but they wear something there all the time. The pool is good, especially when the pioneer camp has a quiet hour - from one to two) There is a shadow where you can hide from the sun, and a depth where you can swim. They were satisfied.
INFRASTRUCTURE. There are many things around the hotel. And shops and restaurants. Everything is very inexpensive, a huge dinner for three - panini, pancake and scrambled eggs, fresh orange juice for everyone - about 300 rubles) Water - about 10 rubles for 2 liters. Alcohol is sold in the Generale's store, there are also fruits. The store is called Bravo. A taxi costs less than 100 rubles, but we went not far. Medina liked it.
CONCLUSIONS. We really liked Tunisia, we will definitely return. The hotel is disgusting, we will not go there again for anything. Too bad Hammamet is so far from the airport. I hope my review is useful to you)
