"Жизнь" отеля с чистого листа "Life" of the hotel from scratch

In May-June 2016 I visited the hotel twice: in May I was part of an info tour, and a month later I brought my family on vacation. Yes, not only the family: he took more friends. Total 9 adults and 9 children. Since the change of ownership in 2015 (the Caribbean hotel chain sold the Magic Life chain), there have been tremendous changes. Therefore, all reviews earlier than 2015 do not correspond to reality. The hotel rooms have been completely renovated. An excellent large water park has been built (although sometimes not all slides work... (?! )). The territory is ennobled and deserves praise: large, relatively green. The animation team works at a good level - well done. Lifeguards are everywhere. The beach is wide sandy. Protected by a police squad. The receptionists and guest relations manager (guest relations) are competent and try to help with any questions. Food... Here we were waiting for the first "minus" - a very meager breakfast. You will see more on the video. What can not be said about lunches and dinners - the exact opposite (tasty, plentiful, varied). Meat in various manifestations (lamb, chicken, turkey, veal - stewed, fried, boiled, grilled, battered). Literally every other day they gave a "cocktail" of seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid) and almost every day squid in batter or fried. From fruits: watermelon and melon every day, peaches, plums and apricots alternated each other and in portions. In the main restaurant, alcohol is poured by waiters (beer or wine of three types). Who can not wait - goes to the bar on their own)))). At lunch, ice cream is always free (in the main restaurant). There is a children's section in the restaurant, but there is no separate food. They fed their baby (1.4 g) with soups (mashed potatoes without spices), scrambled eggs, potatoes - everything from the common table. Attention! Many dishes are peppered, but this is not for everyone. Everything seems to be about food. SPA - for a fee. Sunbeds, mattresses - free of charge. Towels for money! Deposit 20 RSD + 1 RSD per day fee. Exchange rate: 1 US dollar - 2.1 dinars. By location: the hotel is located between Old Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet. You have to take a taxi in both directions. To Yasmine - 4-5 dinars, To the old city (the medina and the General store are located there) 5-6 dinars. Well, the main drawback: there are long queues in bars and restaurants... There are many vacationers, but there are not enough attendants. One (! ) bartender simply does not have time to serve the tourist, collect glasses, and wash them. The same thing in a restaurant: one cook does not have time to fry an omelette for 20-30 people... Well, you can see more about everything in the video.
In the end. . . The hotel is not bad, for the first holiday abroad and for families with children - definitely recommend. For former clients of "Rixos". . . - they are unlikely to like it. Have a good holiday everyone! : )
