To all readers, good afternoon.
Just - just returned from, perhaps, the most wonderful trip in the last 10 years, the impressions of which I would like to share with you. "The most wonderful, you say? " - You will grin, "apparently, the man has not seen anything in his life! " Uh-uh-uh, no! Believe me, I have seen a lot, but each time in various barrels of honey it turned out to be a small, but a fly in the ointment ...And then ...However, to the point.
So, briefly and in order I will try to state my impression, which may be useful for those who are considering this hotel for their holidays.

1. Hotel
In general, the hotel makes a very pleasant impression from the outside and inside (all the photos you saw on its website are true), and has the largest territory among Hammamet hotels, green, well-groomed and very clean.

The hotel has 7 swimming pools, including 2 for children with slides, 1 indoor (on the -1st floor of the hotel) with warm water (next to sauna, hammam and 4 jacuzzis), 1 pool with 5 types of slides, there is a pool with a water polo net. A distinctive feature: there is no crush anywhere, in any pool you come to, you will find enough space. This feature both surprised me and pleasantly pleased me: 350 people can live in the hotel at the same time, but at the same time the system is built in such a way that human flows do not intersect and do not interfere with each other. And so in any part of the hotel.
2. Rooms
The rooms are good: quite comfortable and spacious, the furniture is not old. All rooms have sea views, 50% of the rooms have balconies. The room has: TV, normal air conditioning, hair dryer and safe, non-alcoholic minibar - refrigerator (filled daily free of charge), separate bathroom.
Rooms are cleaned daily, and if you leave a room for 1 dinar, then you will find flowers on the bed, or the notorious "swan" with petals.

3. Beach
The beach is private, sandy, spacious. There are always enough sun loungers for everyone who wants to sunbathe on the coast, there is absolutely no need to get up early to take the coveted place under the sun. The sand does not heat up, and you can safely walk on it barefoot without fear of burning your feet. On the beach for free: banana boating, water skiing, kayaking, and windsurfing. Skydiving is paid, but at a ridiculous price: 25 dinars (something around 20 USD), you can bargain for 20. There are several volleyball courts and a mini-football field. Wet beach towels will be immediately exchanged for dry ones.

4. Animation.
There are many animators, and I must say - well done! All day long (except Tuesday; Tuesday is a day off) tourists are entertained in various places.
True, with the exception of the area adjacent to the pools, they do not cling to vacationers. Near the pool with slides, there is a large billboard, which indicates the schedule of step aerobics, capoeira, volleyball, etc. , as well as the venue where everyone who wants to pull up. The evening show is just super, the numbers are not repeated, every evening is something new, bright, impressive.
Every evening in the hall there is live music from 21:00 to 24:00, to which everyone is dancing, from 24:00 to 02:00 - a disco in a separate building.
For those wishing to meditate in the evening there is an opportunity to smoke a hookah.

5 Food.

Food at the highest level! Very tasty cuisine with a very large assortment of dishes for every taste! In the morning, unlimited freshly squeezed carrot and orange juices, for lunch and dinner - an unlimited number of different types of ice cream.
From fruits: watermelons, melons, strawberries, peaches, dates, apricots, plums, apples, pears, oranges. Near the main restaurant there are several free a la carte restaurants (Lebanese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Italian, fish) with a choice of à la carte dishes, but you need to book a table 24 hours in advance at the reception. Drinks in all restaurants are brought and poured by waiters. If you give them a dinar every day, you will become their best friend with the option of instant service. The service is pleasant and unobtrusive, always with a smile. What pleased me: there is no time commitment to food, there are always intermediate snacks between breakfast, lunch and dinner, so no matter what time you wake up in the morning, you will not be left hungry. You can also eat at night if you like. Before dinner, cocktails are prepared and served daily in the hotel lobby. Bars on site are open until 20:00, the bar in the main building is open around the clock.
The variety of alcoholic drinks in the bar was impressive: beer, cognac, whiskey, vodka (several types), tequila, gin, martini, 3 types of wine, liquors (and all of them are not locally produced. Hennessy and Black Label, of course , there is not, but what is there is of very decent quality. Professional cocktails are prepared in the "golf bar" in the lobby. Well, coffee machines (if anyone likes cappuccino or espresso, for example) and a large selection of tea are also pleasing.

6. Sports
As I already wrote, on the beach there are volleyball and mini-football courts, in the pool there is a water polo net, next to the main building there is an outdoor gym. 4 tennis courts with equipment - free of charge, but you need to sign up in advance for a certain time. There are areas for archery and mountain biking.

6. Moral atmosphere in the hotel.
Gorgeous, after two days you feel at home. There is absolutely nothing negative about the staff.

Vacationers are a cultural people, there is no noise / fights / scandals. Wonderful place to stay with kids!

In conclusion, I would like to recall the "fly in the ointment" that I mentioned at the beginning. Do you know how many times, returning from 5 * hotels in different countries (thank God, I had a chance to see the world decently), I said to myself: "Oh, everything is great, if it weren't for this little thing, it would be just cool" ...So, in this hotel, I kept thinking, what will be this very spoon among the continuous positive? And there is no her, this very spoon : -) Everything is just super!

I wish all who read these lines a good, pleasant holiday. If you have decided to go to Magic Life Manar Imperial 5 *, and you would like to clarify any details - send a question, I will be happy to answer everyone.
Sincerely, Alexander
