Тунис, Мирамар Tunisia, Miramar

I'll start from the beginning. We went from the "Oasis". Before Tunisia, we already rested in Egypt and Turkey, so we are a little spoiled, but on the other hand, I have something to compare with. Flying with Tunisian Airlines. Entry documents issued on the plane. Passport control went very quickly. The transfer to the hotel went well: we met and drove without problems, the buses at the Oasis are a bit old, but clean. The weather immediately upset us a little, we knew that it was not hot in Tunisia at that time, but we did not think that it could be colder in Africa than in Ukraine. In the hotel met normally, quickly settled. We, probably because we were with two children, were given a normal room, albeit with a view of the fence, but everyone else was dragged to the 600th rooms, which are located in the basement, though after some scandals, they were exchanged for normal ones. The rooms, of course, are all dead, in principle, like the entire hotel, and immediately the interior decoration of the intentions was done in a blunder.
But there are no fatal complaints about the room, the room has two large closets, the toilet and bathroom are separate (this is a big plus for a family with children), all the shortcomings were eliminated promptly, the air conditioner was not checked, it was cool. There are cockroaches, they are five centimeters there. The territory is large, everything is arranged according to the mind, only the summer terrace and the restaurant were not enough to bring the mind to one level, so they are connected by a crooked bridge. The whole area is very green: huge palm trees, eucalyptus trees and many other beautiful plants and flowers. But all this is abandoned: it is not watered, it is not pruned, glasses, socks and other rubbish are lying in the bushes. The restaurant is quite large, but very reminiscent of a Soviet canteen. The food, of course, does not draw on Ultra Olinkusive, but the chef is a good fellow, it is clear that he is trying, just the budget is small. There was always beef, chicken, often turkey and fish. There were a lot of sweets, there was ice cream three times.
Of the fruits, only oranges, several times there were strawberries and peaches. From drinks: cola, fanta, sprite, yupi. From alcohol: wine and beer (strong drinks only in bars). Wine and coffee are better to drink in the lobby bar, in the dining room they are heavily diluted. Generally ok. The rooms are cleaned a little, the towels are changed, but it all depends on the cleaning lady, ours covered us with flowers for a dinar and changed towels with linen, and for others for a dinar only sheets from past guests, turned inside out, as lucky. The sea is clean, beautiful, like in the Crimea, only a little saltier, the beaches are like on the Sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ Azov exactly to the point. The water was from 16 to 20 degrees. The pools are much warmer. There are four pools: one covered with warm water, one with slides and two more rectangular ones. Water slides are cool, but when we rested, the joints were smeared with some kind of sealant, they were not cleaned and they turned into emery. I forgot: there is also a small children's pool with a slide.

It is impossible to see a Tunisian tense, everything is completely relaxed, either a siesta, or a day off, or simply reluctance (we also need to learn from them). This also applies to staff. Everyone pretends that they are engaged in some great work, the purpose of which has not been revealed to me. In principle, it’s like people are all in place, but you do everything for them yourself: you yourself look for trestle beds, you yourself drag mattresses for him, you wanted to change the towel on the beach, sorry buddy - we work until 15:00, and you can’t hand it over, and every day you drag wet into the room (deposit 10 dinars). From May 7, the weather improved, it became hot, and the hotel was almost completely empty and until the end of the holiday it was occupied by 10 percent. There is advice: they try to call all Slavs Russians, if you are Ukrainian or Belarusian, unequivocally declare your status to them and teach them to your language, Otherwise, the attitude becomes familiar and even mocking.
And so, in general, they are quite normal guys, friendly, not aggressive, many of them studied in Ukraine, many are married to Russians, so you can explain yourself on matters of prime necessity, but it’s unlikely you will find a partner for a deep dialogue, they know our languages ​ ​ very superficially . About the amenities: facing the sea to your right on the beach there is a German bunker converted into a warehouse, then only the beaches, then the Yasmine area, there is nothing to do there at all; from the left, forty minutes walk, there was a market in it, be sure to go or take a taxi for 4 dinars. Be sure to take a walk near the hotel there is a lot of local color. Excursions: be sure to go to the Sahara, just super (do not forget to stock up on dry breakfast in advance, because this hotel does not provide breakfast with you !!! ), all other excursions, in my opinion, are not worth attention.
In general, if compared with the Crimea, it is much cooler here, but for this money it is better to relax in Egypt. I can only recommend Tunisia for a change. I repeat: Sugar is just super. We did not pay attention to all the little things and were satisfied with the rest.
