Сново в Тунисе! Back in Tunisia!

We rested in Tunisia for the second time with my husband and 16-year-old son. Two years ago we were in Mahdia, and this time in Hammamet at the "IBEROSTAR SAPHIR PALACE HOTEL 5 *". Flying with Tunisian Airlines. Our flight from Boryspil was delayed for 5.5 hours, due to a strike at the Enfidha airport, planes were not released from there, so we had nothing to fly on. During this time, we were given a sandwich and 0.5 bonacqua water each. We arrived at the hotel at the end of dinner, we were immediately given cards from the room, received a room with a sea view at no additional charge and were sent to a restaurant. We liked the hotel, everything worked, they cleaned well, towels were not reported for the first couple of days (we were 3), but after the remark they laid down correctly. There are only 2 small elevators - but there were no queues. Beach towels were issued without a deposit at the pool bar. Changed when available. Animation was at the pool - near the sea was not. And since the sea is on one side, and the pool is on the other, it was difficult to combine swimming in the sea with entertainment. Almost all hotels in South Hammamet are located across 2 roads, along which trains and beautiful carriages with horses drove. The transition did not bother at all, the track is not busy. There was a modest bar on the beach, which was rarely open and had only a few drinks, ice cream buns and cookies were not. When ordering in a bar or restaurant, they constantly asked for the room number, supposedly for a report, sometimes they asked for a signature. Almost everyone put crosses)). And on the day of departure (we had an evening flight), they wanted to drink a tonic - they didn’t give it, they said that the room was closed, it’s not allowed. ((. The cuisine was varied, everything was enough. But the child was bored. He said that it was better in Turkey. We spent more time by the sea, but he didn’t want to be alone by the pool. We went to the Sahara, we liked it, but it was tiring for us. We left at 7 am on the first day and returned at 9 pm on the second day, all the time on the road, traveled 1100 km, although there were stops every 2 hours, all the same, for 2 days after returning to the hotel, all the bones ached. special, as in any off-road village. I liked it more on camels, but I also got white and tall, that almost 3 times my son didn’t fall down, so he threw it up. We spent the night in some dumb hotel. 15 dinars, which no one warned about. The excursion to Carthage is much more interesting. Although there are very few ruins. We visited a la carte restaurants. In our hotel there was no music, nothing interesting. It was possible to visit the restaurants of all the hotels of the IBEROSTAR chain. There were back in mexicans com - tin. Everything is fiery, we thought we wouldn’t get drunk with water. ))
Wi-Fi in the hotel did not work on our phone, on laptops it was occasionally possible to enter at least somewhere. But in another Iberostar, Wi-Fi worked without problems. In general, we are satisfied with the rest, but if we go to Tunisia again, then only on the island of Djerba. The hotel guide said - if you want fun - go to 3 stars. And 5 stars are designed for the older generation and a relaxing holiday. It suited us, but the children are a bit bored there... We entertain ourselves. ))) Have a nice holiday everyone.
