For children who do not look for cockroaches and do not notice problems - a normal holiday by the sea. BUT if possible, add a little more and take a good hotel. In general, choose a hotel not for Russians - the service in a neighboring hotel is an order of magnitude higher (foreigners and Russians rested there).
We bought a tour from the Biblio Globus (through Alina-tour), helped to choose a hotel (last year the reviews were excellent), date and time of departure (to go there in the morning, back in the evening). Check-in for the flight of AK "RUSSIA" online (per day), you can choose (365 rubles per seat), it is proposed to book seats for the return flight (which we did).
We rested from 27.07 to 07.08. 2019 with a child of 6 years. On the plane, they offered to fill out a questionnaire (name, surname, passport data, hotel name). We arrived early in the morning at Enfidha airport, went through passport control and boarded the bus (do not throw away the spine of the questionnaire - hand it in when you leave). As always, we waited more than an hour for the lost. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes from the airport. (we visited three hotels before ours).

Check-in: Upon arrival at the hotel (9:00 local time) for registration on your own (and then everything is INDEPENDENT everywhere - look for yourself... ). Put on bracelets, went to breakfast. Check-in strictly after 15:00. After breakfast, we changed (there are no places to change clothes - someone is in the room for storing suitcases, someone is in the toilet) and went to the beach. The sea was stormy (the water was full of algae mud), we took a dip, washed off the mud in the shower and went to the pool before lunch. At 12:30 lunch and waiting for check-in in the lobby. Waiting for a room after a night flight with children until 15:00. - sad.
NUMBER: The keys were given exactly at 15 o'clock. although the keys were ready much earlier. Room 16 meters, a balcony with a direct view of the sea and the pool (which was ordered), old broken beds, bathroom, separate toilet, towels, hair dryer, shampoos, gel. Everything in the room is old, except for the TV, but it works. But in order to change clothes, take a shower and spend the night without any pretensions to the conditions, it will pass for a three-star. Mattresses and linen are old and tattered. Linen changed once and then not all. Towels on demand (throw on the floor) and then in return they brought two out of three. No cleaning.
SEA: the entrance is gentle, sandy, but out of 12 days of stay - it was clean for 5 days (the rest was storm and mud). In principle, there are enough sunbeds, you can find them in the shade even at 9 o'clock. Towels on bail (it's better to take your own, they give out torn rags, which are inconvenient to change only from 8 to 10 in the morning). There are heaps of garbage and algae on the beach, no one cleans up (once they removed it when the authorities arrived). Nobody cleans the sand either. On the beach there is a bar, cola drinks, fanta, etc. , water, beer and other strong drinks free of charge from 10 am to 5 pm. From 11 o'clock. - popcorn, pizza and panini. You can try once or twice, no more.
TERRITORY: small (there is no place to walk - the main building, the bungalow buildings and the paths around them (unlit to the stage), green. Near the reception there is a currency exchanger (but only one way - for dinars, change it back at the airport or spend it. And the exchange is cunning: there is no money in the exchanger smaller than half a dinar, metal euros are not accepted - only papers). On the territory there is a children's club and a playground. The mini-disco stage is shared with the Bel Azur hotel.

POOL: There is a main pool and a paddling pool for kids. Dirt around the pool, cleaned badly. The pool itself is cleaned every other time, but bleach (or something else) is covered with buckets at 7 am and 6 pm. Twice a day in the pool - water polo. So there is nowhere to swim.
FOOD: There seems to be a lot of everything, but there is nothing special to choose from. BREAKFAST: held on the 1st floor: pancakes, sausages, omelettes, pastries... Vegetables - cuts from the evening (or yesterday morning... ). Sometimes coffee machines do not work, only apples, oranges (or melons or watermelons) are fruit. Often you can not find napkins, salt shakers... Dirty napkins on the tables. LUNCH (dinner) on the 3rd floor: Vacationers are standing in the corridor - waiting for the opening. Earlier in the reviews they wrote that there are not enough tables, food - IS and the tables are free and food is constantly brought (if it runs out), although the hotel is packed to capacity. The first 10 minutes of excitement, queues (everyone stands in one queue from the entrance, probably the trays with food are placed incorrectly, but this is a question of the hotel and our hungry vacationers). After 10 minutes, you can choose what you want without any queues. Meat - 2-3 kinds (chicken, rabbit, beef, a couple of times sausages), fish (like sprat, a little more and like pollock, once there was tuna on the grill), three times there were crabs (small ones - there is nothing), vegetables, salads, side dishes. From fruits, apples, watermelons (not always), melons, plums three times, peaches cut once. Cakes 4-5 types. Wine, beer is brought by the waiter (they run quickly - a maximum of a minute and everything is on the table). The coffee machine is one queue, there are not enough cups for tea, you have to pour it into paper cups (try to bring it to the table... ). Fruit forks and knives also run out quickly. BARS: one in the lobby at the reception (from morning to night coffee, tea, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The second is by the pool (drinks and snacks are the same as in the beach bar), the third is on the beach.
STAFF: Everyone is very responsive and friendly (except the reception, everything is strict there). Everyone knows Russian. They will always help if you ask.
ANIMATION: There seem to be animators (seen on the beach twice with children, and at a mini-disco) - maybe they amuse everyone by the pool or at night discos - I don’t know! Even when they were leaving, the animators decided to arrange a send-off, but no one began to dance with them and say goodbye (although a full bus was leaving).

EXCURSIONS: We took an excursion to the zoo (from the Biblio Globe) in the morning. While driving, the guide told a little about the zoo, then at the zoo on her own. The zoo is certainly interesting - you walk along the walkways and look at the animals from above. But all animals hide from the heat. The whole zoo with a child went around in an hour, sometimes they fed the animals, took pictures (for dinars). The price includes a show with a fur seal. The rest of the time cafes with ice cream (you can euros, dollars and dinars). Take water with you, you can have a light snack for children and be sure to wear caps on their heads.
SHOPPING: next to the hotel there is a cosmetics store "LAGUNA", we bought a little for gifts. There is also a supermarket one block away from the hotel (dates, sweets, magnets,... ) - we spent dinars, which were returned to us from the deposit for towels.
PROS: I didn’t find it, just a rest by the sea (I didn’t remember anything good like in other hotels).
DISADVANTAGES: Food, dirty beach and sea, everything is old in the rooms, cleaning in the rooms.
