Sergey (49 years old) in Tunisia for the first time. Iberostar salaria. From October 07 to October 14.2013. We were frightened by bad weather and cold water, but it was warm and comfortable. Tour operator BiblioGlobus. The transfer is good. Guide at the hotel Alexander. Although the meeting with him was scheduled for 16.30, and we arrived at 11, he did not leave us, as often happens, for example, at Pegasus and controlled our settlement, answered questions. His song about what is impossible and what is possible in the hotel and beyond, as well as what you can see in Tunisia, differed from those previously heard in Egypt with specificity and a sincere desire to prepare us for a planned vacation. The hotel is not big, but in the lobby of the main building at any time there is a place to sit, drink and talk. The food was good, without any special show off, but fish and chicken and meat and even pork were always ready for the arrival of our eaters. Fruits and desserts are normal. Bottled water is free. There were practically no queues at the restaurant. Pleased the waiter Hechmi. Especially his trick with pouring water into glasses. Yes, and they are all very friendly, say hello, ask for business. They didn’t give anything for the room and we liked it: half of the balcony window looked at another hotel, or rather at its pool area, another view of the sea. Sunrise was visible in the morning. By the way, the wi-fi on the balcony is not great, but I took it from the neighboring Baya. And so at the reception, too, he was, and more recently for free. They said the merit of our tour operator. We did not swim in the pools, although the picture on the net is even worse than it really is. Everything is neat and green. Sea: the beach leaves much to be desired: old rickety straw umbrellas, sunbeds without mattresses (and for some reason there are poolside ones?! ) and a lot of mud, just huge heaps on the shore met us on the first day. The next day, these heaps were furiously removed with a bulldozer, and by lunchtime everything was clean. The sea was with waves all the time. But this only created a water holiday, because aground and in the absence of corals and fish would not be interesting. The waves did not kill anyone, and everyone, young and old (you should have seen one old man there with a large gray hair and a ford, and he jumped on the waves in the same place) jumped on the crests of mostly gentle waves. The bar on the beach and the pool differed in service and not in favor of the one by the sea. But beer, juices from 10.00 no problem. There were all sorts of water skiing and parachuting too. Another donkey on a camel cruised along the beach. He behaved discontentedly, defiantly and shouted at those who took pictures of his unfortunate vrblda for nothing. Demanded for a ride or take a lot of pictures and no one agreed. There are 2 streets in our area: coastal and central entrance. They go in parallel and, contrary to physics, converge. Cars, trains and, of course, carriages drive along these streets, drawn by a pair of often very dead horses (the ribs are almost out). From the latter, the stench already hurts the eyes, but this is if you stand nearby or she will pass by. The shops have a good feature: fixed prices. Few people go to the rest, and they are not willing to bargain. Exchange for dinars directly at the reception and around the clock. True, dinars are exchanged back for dollars at a sooooo high exchange rate. So do not rush to change a lot. I must say that there are a lot of foreigners in the hotel: the British, the French, the Poles, the Romanians, well, we are with the Germans. One of our dibiloid got drunk on the beach, tagilil walked for half a day, but not ultra. The next day, punished by his wife, he sat on jus and water. I won’t say that in Tunisia there is equality on a national basis, but here the division into Russians and Caucasians is not as pronounced as in Egypt. Be kind and friendly to them and they will respond the same. If you pretend to be a gentleman on the road, then this is not here. If you think that everyone here owes you, then this is also not here. If you compare with Spain and other Europe, then you also lost your course. But Egypt is still inferior in many ways, at least in terms of personnel. And they're not spoiled by our tips and stuff. At least they don't beg. Gave - good, but no, and there is no trial. Tipping was given for 1 dinar (20 rubles) in the bar and in the restaurant and on the beach. And for cleaning the room. Here the girls work for them and do their job properly. I liked the trip to Carthage. With a guide, albeit not very fluent in Russian, they came to the conclusion that the barbarians are goats. We also went to the zoo. Lots of animals, you could see them all. And in the evening, in the same large tent, dinner with songs and dances of the Zulus. The food was so-so. But the Zulus and red wine lope hosh. What else. . . Towels deposit 20 dinars, safe deposit 20 dinars and per day 3.500 dinars. So almost both deposits went to pay for the safe. Clothes and souvenirs are cheaper here than in Egypt. So, as they say: If you haven't been to Kerch - sit and be silent. Have not been to Tunisia - fly and look around. On the whole, it was not bad for us, and the weather pleased us, although it rained a couple of times, but an hour later it was again a celebration of life under the rays of the African sun. And finally, one drawback of the staff: the fried eggs are made badly: they tear it and it spreads over the plate. : -) although the taste is the same. Think for yourself, decide for yourself to fly or not to fly.
