Relaxing with a young man! The country itself, the people and the hotel! The hotel was once 5 *, but apparently due to its age it switched to 3 *. The reasons are clear: it is very expensive to take care of such a huge territory! The territory of the hotel is truly amazing: huge! This is in comparison with those hotels on the territory of which we stopped by bus picking up or bringing other tourists (among them were 4 * and 5 *): 8 buildings, but some, as we later heard from vacationers, dark and damp, but changed them quickly if there were places. We were immediately given a good body! In the evenings on the balcony we listened to the birds singing, or rather it was a loud op, but sooooo beautiful! SUPER!!!
The room is clean, no frills, but everything you need, except for appliances, is there! Every day they cleaned, changed towels and bed linen, we left a dinar in the morning, because. cleaned up before dinner, but this did not play a huge role, except that flowers were added. Yes, the towels were not snow-white, but that's because some very "smart" dragged them to the beach. They make everything white like this, it looks like there is no bleach in Tunisia as such! Dear vacationers, take YOUR towels to the beach!
To the beach about 10 minutes on the TERRITORY, which is very rare in Hammamet. A lot of greenery, beautiful lighting in the evening, 5 bars-cafes + a restaurant where there were lunches-dinners, a shop, billiard tables, 3 swimming pools (one of which is indoor with a SPA area) and a playground for spending evenings!

The beach could have been better looked after, and littered less (not only tourists, but also locals rest and litter there). Chairs, sun loungers and sunbeds are free, but the mattress is paid-1 dinar, without which they will not give you a sunbed! It happens like this: they arrange sunbeds along the first line of umbrellas and throw mattresses on them - if you want to lie, not sit, buy, and if you are not going to pay, then they tell you that it is booked, like people paid, but moved away - lies! With all the understanding that everyone wants to earn money, this is too much! At first we were drinking to ourselves, and then frankly responded with impudence to impudence! And it’s impossible to sunbathe on the mattresses - it’s very, very hot.
Well fed! Their breakfasts are the same everywhere: eggs, bacon, fruits, sausage, cereal, BUT in this hotel (I don’t know about the others) the BEST croissants and buns! They were snapped up instantly, so they began to watch that for one person, a maximum of 2 pieces of pastries))))) Another moment with an unpleasant aftertaste in the soul and memory: leave a dinar every day at dinner, because you will be better looked after and clean up. We bought wine for dinner (it costs 2 times more than in the store - 15 dinars and they don’t give a check, of course! ) And left 5 dinars for a tip. Those. for 3 days 5 dinars, not 3 dinars. BUT the attitude towards us was good, only on the day when we ordered wine and could leave a tip, and on the rest of the days we were hardly noticed... but you could take out something and feed the local cats, although it was fun to announce that I was going from do not take out the restaurant =))
Animation is not very boring for us, so we preferred simple walks on the territory and playing billiards and air hockey!
Our guide was Nizar, a very nice young man. At the hotel in the evenings every day, missed once, but because of the exhaustion of a large amount of work. He was always in touch, tried to help in any way he could, gave good advice! Although we didn’t need much from him: they tried to rent a car and found out where you can buy alcohol on Ramadan (this is a French colony, so they have good wine, but with cognac it’s difficult... only brandy =( ) )))
Prices in the city for food are scanty (compared to St. Petersburg). Taxi is free. Markets (shops), as elsewhere, but, in comparison with Turkey, as my young man noted disappointedly, they do not know how to bargain! )))
Now WARNING!! ! We recommend everyone to go on an excursion to the Sahara with Ahmed! It's an unforgettable experience!! ! SUPER! Never met such a guide!
In general, who wants to relax, he will rest! There were cons, but there were pluses! But we still have positive emotions!
