A Europeanized African country with fixed prices in some stores and a single exchange rate for the Tunisian dinar, these are the first phrases that we heard from our guide on the way from the airport to the hotel. And the airport is very good and modern. Go for a short time. Here we are at our Houda Yasmine 4 * hotel.
The hotel is small, large and deep up to 2m. swimming pool. The rooms are cool and clean. Hotel type golf club, as evidenced by its past name. There is a golf course but we didn't see it. Near the hotel there is a large tennis court and a handball field. Leave dinars as a pledge for rackets and play. There is a fitness room with exercise machines, but I realized that for a fee, there is also a second pool.
The room was cleaned every day. Sometimes they forgot to put soap or shampoo. True, when they said, they could put it in duplicate. There is a safe in the room for 2 dinars per day and a key deposit of 20 dinars, which will be returned to you upon check-out, and which you must spend, because back dinars can only be exchanged at the airport, in the city they change only in one direction. Several times the currency was changed at the hotel.
A dinar consists of 1.000 millimeters, and the price tags write, for example, 6.500, which means 6.5 dinars. The Tunisian currency rate is 1 dinar - 6.7 UAH. Determine the cost in hryvnia - multiply the price by 7 UAH.
The bar in the room is a small refrigerator, the capacity of which you fill yourself. The TV shows one Russian-speaking, with a religious bias, channel, there is nothing to watch, a deposit of 20 dinars for the remote control.
The hotel is quite well located relative to the sea and the center of civilization. A few steps away there are shops where you can buy everything you need that you forgot at home. It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the center. The center is determined by the presence of souvenir shops and the stench of camel urine. Camels are used here for transportation.
The contingent of the hotel - ours is very small, mostly French-speaking people. By the way, this is a French-speaking country, and they speak very beautiful French. The truth is on its own. English is known at our level. Apparently, many of the staff know Russian, but they don't show it.
The weather was a pleasant surprise. Despite the height of summer, the air temperature is up to 30* and the water is more than 25*. It was almost always like this, and we liked it very much.
8 minutes walk to the beach. The beach is wide, with white sand. Relatively clean when the tractor drove and sifted the sand from algae, which could resemble camel poop. There was a paid bar on the beach where you could buy the necessary drinks or ice cream for a euro. But the prices were clearly designed for the French.
The beach is partially urban, with an abundance of sun loungers and the absence of a large number of tourists. Yesterday the sun loungers left were easily in the same places in the morning, sometimes they were folded. If desired and possible, it was possible to fly on a parachute, ride a banana or a tablet or a scooter. On the beach, the water was almost non-drinkable. There was almost always a light breeze that kept us cool.
Excursions, oddly enough, our guides did not impose on us. But to go at least somewhere is necessary to know the country. Were in Carthage. The ruins of the Mediterranean are almost the same all around. Carthage is the old name for the capital of Tunisia.
The restaurant is clean, almost constantly filled by a third, there was enough space for everyone.
We liked the kitchen for the lack of spicy dishes. Almost every day there were fish and seafood. Fruits are apples, pears, plums, peaches, melons and watermelons. Everything is very sweet and ripe. For the sweet tooth, there were also enough delicacies. The service staff seemed a little slow. Drinks are easier to organize yourself than to ask to bring. Upon arrival, we were told that the staff supposedly will offer you drinks. At the very first reception, write with a large accumulation of free staff, no one was going to approach us until we ourselves resolved the situation. In the end, we already understood that they saved us on drinks by diluting vodka and gin. From the drinks there was also red, pink, white wine. By the way wines and beer do not taste bad.
"Strong" drinks were poured only in the lobby of the hotel.
Animation in different languages. It started with a children's disco at 9 pm, then there was usually a very late program for us, because you know when we come to the beach - that's right, from the very morning, it happened before breakfast. By the way, the breakfasts are very good, towards the end of the meal they also made an omelette with various things, but we rarely caught them, since the sea is more expensive than sleep.
Their grill is prepared on a large electric stove, there is no smell of smoke, but you can come up several times. We did not notice the deceptions of sausages and various bells and whistles. In short, the food was good.
Everything is fine, only the attitude towards tourists is somehow sluggish. The thought did not leave us - why do we constantly have to beg for something, something for which we have long been paid for and we are supposed to, in short, they do not know how to serve cool. And I liked the climate very comfortable - summer, not hot...
