I rested with my parents in Aziz. The hotel is located in the quiet resort town of Hammamet. From the first day of our stay in Tunisia, we did not like the "special" attitude towards the Russians. This attitude extended to people vacationing in other 4 * and 5 * hotels. In general, the impression of the hotel is positive, especially for inexperienced tourists. However, it is worth noting that the rooms are very poorly cleaned not only daily, but also when moving into it. The Russian language is ignored, although everyone understands everything perfectly. I speak English which made it very easy for us to communicate at the hotel. But still, the indigenous people prefer the capitalists with their thick wallets.
Our room:
We were given room 102 on the first floor with windows on the peak of the building. All the furniture is very dirty and old, there is a smell like in a junk shop. The air conditioners hardly blow, although you can guess from the noise that they are working. In other rooms, as we learned, the same thing happens. There is a mini-bar - replenished daily with water with gas and without. Toilet and bath are separate. And so in the room there were 2 rooms very spacious, a lot of chairs, a sofa, ie. There were no problems with the situation. Yes, it should be noted that our room was somehow infiltrated by a cockroach or a local beetle the size of a large dragonfly. It was creepy!!!

Food:
There is enough food, but I will not say that the same abundance as in good hotels in Greece. Hoops were attached to our hands, which all the time greatly disturbed us, but what can you do if these are the rules. It is written that there are 3 restaurants in hotels - it's almost like this: the main one, a lunch restaurant and a local restaurant (you can visit once). The pool bar and reception are especially popular with vacationers, all the other 2 are invisible, because. located on the -1 floor and no one sees them. With wine and alcohol in general, I strained a lot. The waiters at dinner and lunch come only the first time, then it is almost impossible to call them, and it is not customary for them to take any liquid in bottles to their table. Only a couple of waiters serve well, especially a girl, she is the only one of them, so if you relax in this hotel, I advise you to sit at the tables that she serves.
The same is true in bars. Only daily tips make waiters pay attention to poor vacationers who want to miss a couple of glasses.
Sea:
The sea itself is very clean, just lovely. All non-motorized watercraft can be used as much as you like and free of charge. Everything else costs about $40-50. Mattresses and towels are included in the price of the trip. The beach is not equal and not cleaned. Everywhere okrks and other garbage. We walked along the coast and saw pictures much worse than ours - mountains of rotting seaweed - and no one cleans up. Sellers all the time ply the beach offering all sorts of nonsense. There is a feeling of our south.
Animation
Absent except for gatherings around 9 pm old people sat with light music in the bar.
Children
For children there are no special conditions for their stay in this hotel. So I advise in this case to choose another.
Excursions

On them you understand all your inferiority as a tourist from Russia. At every step, familiarity, grabbing hands, calling Natasha (although I rested with my parents and we chose clothes in accordance with their religious prejudices, that is, they did not differ from all other tourists from other countries, but Russian speech was a sentence for all of us ). It was a great trip to the Sahara - I liked it very much! Another sightseeing tour of the capital of Tunisia and a visit to Carthage. That is, we visited different parts of the country and made a corresponding impression about it - the poor, not love for all Russian speakers, great sympathy for the French and other Western Europeans, rather high prices. Our local operator - Russian Express, good guys, worked well and helped vacationers in resolving a lot of discontent, I really hope that this will not affect you.
The conclusion is that the country is certainly good, but I never go there again. I want, you know, to feel respect for the Russians. And then I had to put them in their place all the time.
The hotel has table tennis and billiards - it's all about the entertainment.
Thalassotherapy - people have praised it, so it's worth trying the massage.
The territory is small, especially not to roam, you can go outside the hotel and wander around the local shops a little.
We met great people on vacation, and this undoubtedly brightened up our stay at this hotel. Well, that seems to be all. Have a great holiday in Tunisia and lots of patience!! !
