Rested with my sister in this hotel from 03.06. 2023 to 13.06. 2023. I liked everything very much: bungalows, staff service, sea, beach, food, hotel territory and more. But, on the 2nd day of my stay at the hotel, they stole 20 dollars and 70 Tunisian dinars from my wallet, which was in an electronic safe with a personal password!!!!! ! How is this possible in a 5 star hotel! My sister and I decided not to panic, it is impossible to prove anything anyway, and the rest of the time we carried all the money with us.

How is this possible in a 5 star hotel! My sister and I decided not to panic, it is impossible to prove anything anyway, and the rest of the time we carried all the money with us. The amount is small, but the sediment remained! Our tour operator still insisted on informing our guide at the Evgenia hotel about this, but she was very surprised and said that this was the first such case in this luxury hotel (((. I would not have noticed the loss if I hadn’t got into my wallet for money and saw that the money was not the way I put it, crumpled and therefore counted it. On the tour.
trip to the Sahara, met with vacationers from another nearby hotel and they also pulled 20 dinars from the safe. So my advice - do not keep money in a safe, it is better to leave it in a suitcase, hiding it in things, or carry it with you all the time! The hotel administration did not react to this incident in any way, apparently they have theft in the rooms a common thing! (((

I stayed in this hotel for 15 days at the end of September. The saddest thing began upon arrival and immediately spoiled the impression of the hotel. At the reception there is a hard extortion of money! Whatever category of room you have paid for, you are immediately taken to a obviously worse room and a lower category), explaining this congestion of the hotel.

I stayed in this hotel for 15 days at the end of September.
The saddest thing began upon arrival and immediately spoiled the impression of the hotel.
At the reception there is a hard extortion of money! Whatever category of room you have paid for, you are immediately taken to a obviously worse room and a lower category), explaining this congestion of the hotel. If you do not pay, they will put you in the most terrible room with promises to relocate tomorrow. And then you will go to the reception every 2 hours on the first, second, third, etc. day. Until you give up.
Reception chief Lotfi rules the ball with the help of Russian-speaking employee Anna, whose job is to help guests with their problems, but she acts exactly the opposite.
The reception is a total mess. No request to solve the problem, including broken room equipment, is satisfied, no matter how much you approach.
The second moment, which was simply amazing, was cleaning, or rather, its complete absence on the beach. During the 15 days of our stay at the hotel, we have never seen that the sunbeds and tables are at least wiped, iron bottle caps are lying in the sand - no one cleans it. It is not clear how the children there did not hurt their legs. For the first week of our stay, it rained daily, once - tropical rain for a whole day. Moreover, the hotel staff knew about the onset of rain, since the flag on the beach was changed to red. But the maidas were not removed from the sunbeds NEVER ! ! And in the morning people lay down on wet mattresses, from which, when touched, water was already flowing. We contacted the reception with a request to remove the mattresses, but, as always, the reception did not respond.
It is not clear where the management of the hotel is looking????
Wifi only in the main building. There is no eo in the bungalow and on the territory!
I think that this hotel is a disgrace to the high name of the Steigenberger hotel chain

Our acquaintance with Tunisia took place at the Steigenberger Hotel. My husband and I went to try the famous Tunisian spa treatments. In general, we really liked the hotel and the spa. But I will not describe only the procedures, but I will try to give a general picture of the hotel, since many people simply go to rest on the sea.

Our acquaintance with Tunisia took place at the Steigenberger Hotel. My husband and I went to try the famous Tunisian spa treatments. In general, we really liked the hotel and the spa. But I will not describe only the procedures, but I will try to give a general picture of the hotel, since many people simply go to rest on the sea. So, I'll start from the sea itself. The beach is not very big, but it is enough for a hotel. The beach is a couple of minutes from the main building through a well-groomed and beautiful area, past the pool and palm trees. There are a lot of umbrellas and sun loungers, there are always free ones, there you can get and change towels on the cards along the way. You can change at least several times a day, there is someone who changes and towels are fresh, they never waited. The beach is clean, with fine fine sand, a gentle entrance to the sea, and a clean, calm sea. The beds are very comfortable, with mattresses and adjustable backrest. On the way to the beach itself there is a bar with drinks and snacks. The hotel itself is quiet, there is animation, but it is kind of background, there is aerobics, live music with a very beautiful saxophone playing, or pleasant live singing. They also include dance music for children, and there were not so many of them in the hotel, they hold a mini disco and there is a mini club, but the hotel is not entirely for children. Although if you have a calm child and you like a quiet measured rest, then you can consider the hotel, we were alone without children, so I can’t describe in more detail. I wanted silence, a lot of sun and sea, good spa treatments, and we got it in full. And it doesn’t matter if you apply for the first time, or already a regular client, the service will be on top, and the price is lower than the cost of the tour operator. A little about SPA. There is a luxurious hammam, a saltwater pool and a Jacuzzi with an open-air area. The quality of the massage depends on the massage therapist, but we chose for ourselves, and were very pleased. There are also two swimming pools, calm, there are no slides in them. The hotel has Russian speaking staff, but it consists of one girl who does not work every day. But at the same time there is always some person who understands Russian. In general, the staff does not even understand English well, but they do their job perfectly, almost did not communicate. But the bartenders and waiters know a little and speak our language, smile, and try to please. The number of rooms is in good condition, most of the rooms have already been renovated, with new appliances, and a good repair. There is a free safe and a minibar with soda and water. Kettle, good powerful hair dryer, TV with a couple of Russian channels, bathrobes, but slippers on request. The bathroom is spacious, the toilet is separate. Gels, shampoos and body lotion are available, replenished as they decrease. Cleaning is good, almost no flaws. The room was extended for us, but it was just free, otherwise there will be inconvenience, since there is no changing room, and you won’t be able to buy before departure, you just have to sit in the bar or lobby. By the way, the Internet catches best in the lobby. Sometimes even caught in the room and by the pool. But not always. The food is different from the usual variety of Turkish tables, but at the same time everything is very tasty, there is a good choice of meat, from ordinary chicken to delicious lamb and beef. Fish and seafood, but they are less. There are also a couple of good cheeses every day, fruits and delicious desserts. . The meat was cooked right in front of us, because of which there was a queue of several people, but not for long. Very good alcohol and the wine was served by the bottle and very good quality. Holiday memories are great, but if you want complete relaxation.

Dirt!! ! Everywhere in the hotel on the beach in the city in the suburbs, Everywhere! Russians are not respected at all, they consider us to be finished drunkards. The whole beach is full of faeces and rubbish. Nobody cleans up. Merchants snooping constantly do not let you relax. There are not enough beds. There is what! The same thing every day. The restaurant is dirty. No hygiene. In general, you can write a lot. People don't waste your hard-earned money on this type of 5 star hotel. It was my worst holiday ever.

We stayed at the hotel between the end of August and the beginning of September 2017. They chose it after reading positive reviews, in fact they were very disappointed with the real situation of the low level of service. We were brought to the hotel at about 7 am, the administrator said that there were no available rooms and that we had to wait for the official check-in time at 2 pm.

We stayed at the hotel between the end of August and the beginning of September 2017. They chose it after reading positive reviews, in fact they were very disappointed with the real situation of the low level of service. We were brought to the hotel at about 7 am, the administrator said that there were no available rooms and that we had to wait for the official check-in time at 2 pm. For a tip of $ 1, they agreed to check us in at 12 o'clock, but a brazen deceit, the keys (not a card) to the room were given to us at 15 o'clock, when I started to swear. Instead of a paid room in the building, we were given a room in a bungalow. It is worth noting that having received the keys, we could not enjoy the rest in the room, because it had not yet been cleaned after the previous tourists, we stood near the doors for almost an hour in the heat while the room was being cleaned. The furniture in the room is just dead. It can be seen that the plumbing has been changed recently, that there are new mirrors, but the curtains have holes, mold and fungus are already appearing between the tiles in the bathroom, the front door is generally like in an old Soviet hospital. For the entire stay, the balcony was never cleaned, the garbage near the table in the room was not thrown out every day. Toiletries (soap, shower gel, shampoo) were put only on the day of arrival in disposable bags per person, although the room for two people, after use, was not replenished at all for almost a week until the neighbors, who found themselves in the same situation, did not arrange maid scandal, as it turns out they didn’t even put toilet paper for 4 days. Complaining at the reception is useless, they simply waved their hand at the Russians. When frilling, the cleaning lady takes the towels, and brings new ones in 3-4 hours. So welcome to 5 stars, but with your own soap, shampoo and towel, if you don't want to end up in an uncomfortable position after the sea. There are a lot of sun loungers on the sea, but half of them were occupied by a paid bar by the weekend, which is located on the shore within the hotel and has nothing to do with the all-inclusive system. Because of this, another nervousness appeared among the tourists, since there were not enough sunbeds by the sea for everyone, the sunbed had to be taken at 6 in the morning, we left it, get ready for the fact that your things will simply be thrown to the ground, and they will lie on the towels Germans or locals. The beach is not cleaned by the hotel staff at all, the road to the sea is like a minefield of horse and camel feces, and after the stormy festivities of the locals in a paid bar on weekends, before entering the sea, there are a lot of bottles, including glass, iron corks, dirty diapers, packages, dirty wipes flying everywhere, etc. And all of the above set ends up in the sea when the wave rises. Every morning, Russian volunteers began by collecting garbage and food waste in a pile so as not to lie in a pigsty, and literally with mats forced the "caretakers" of the beach to take out manure from the sand. There are not enough tables in the dining room, there are no queues for fish and meat, which are often simply burnt. The food, by the way, is quite varied, but for the most part it is simply terribly cooked: either undercooked, or simply burned out over high heat. . Fruit was given every day, but full of rotten food. It was also possible to carry out the sorting of products before taking them to the issuing hall, after all, after all, after all, 5 stars! In the evening, there is almost no lighting near the bungalow, going up to the room in the twilight, since we lived on the second floor, you can break your legs. And that pale ray of light was turned off twice at all, to the bungalow after dinner at least go to the touch, it’s good we had a flashlight. They sell rooms overlooking the garden, and the whole garden is two half-dried palm trees and a green lawn. The rest is simply spoiled by the poor quality of the hotel service and the poor work of the staff. And, as it turned out, we were lucky. The neighbors arrived at the hotel at midnight and refused to check them in, they said that there were no rooms and that they needed to stay for a day in another 4 * hotel, located in an unknown location, and a car would be sent for them a day later. People had to call the police and argue half the night to get in. Friends had a suite (two rooms): the sockets just fell out of the wall, the shower was broken, in one room the air conditioner simply did not work - horror, not 5 stars. The only thing that caused positive emotions was clear sea water. The sunset is gentle, white sand, there were no jellyfish. The design of the building is beautiful, but everywhere there is dirt, cigarette butts, ventilation in the lobby and dining room almost does not work, and the assembly hall has not been repaired or cleaned for a hundred years. Animation in the evening: for children every day, and for adults every other day in the form of "two stomp, three laps" by three local chocolate boys or in the form of "entertain yourself. " It is good to relax here with small children and pensioners. For young people, the hotel is just boring. If you want to stay in a 3 * hotel, but at the price of 5 * in the wilderness and a pigsty, then you are here!! !

But the meeting with the hotel guide was scheduled for us only the next day at 10.15... Normal, yes ? ! I don’t understand what prevented this guide from meeting us on the day of arrival at 10 am? !

I will write a lot, BUT! in fact and in fact)
1. Meeting party Anex Tour. This is melancholy-sadness..... We were brought to the hotel at 8 am, check-in at 14.00... But the meeting with the hotel guide was scheduled for us only the next day at 10.15... Normal, yes ? ! I don’t understand what prevented this guide from meeting us on the day of arrival at 10 am? ! Apparently "crazy" employment at the end of the season... As a result, we settled in the hotel, got acquainted with its rules and mastered the territory on our own. No, but what, we are already adults - we can handle it....The next day, the guide came and began to tell us useless information about what and how we work at the hotel . . “Thank you, we have already figured it out ourselves”... After a couple of days, we needed a guide's consultation. According to her, she will be at our hotel every day from 10 to 11 . . We arrive at 10... Nobody... We are waiting until 10.30... Silence . . We call - deafly... SHIT! We were contacted by Anex Tour… We were told that our prima donna would arrive at 13:00… how lovely!!!! ! Thanks! And for dessert - our departure....A bus arrived WITHOUT a guide, the driver met us, took us to the airport, dropped us off and left!! ! First time we've encountered this! We were just abandoned at the entrance to the airport! Draw your own conclusions....
2. Staff and accommodation. Check-in at 14 o'clock. . . And we are already at the hotel at 8 o'clock. . Of course, I don't want to wait for 6 o'clock. . All rooms are like "busy". . . $ 15 solved the problem not only with the check-in, but also provided an opportunity to choose a room. By the way, all neighboring rooms next to us were empty for 6 days! ))) Regarding the numbers…. In the main building the rooms are standard, but there is WiFi everywhere. Bungalows make it possible to choose larger rooms and their interior, frankly, is cooler than in the building! BUT! In no case do not check into bungalows with numbers 100-120 and 800-820 !!!! ! These bungalows are on the tail of a woman… We walked there, looked and realized that it was impossible to live there. Noise from the back rooms of the restaurant, car parking just 30 meters away, far from the sea, view of the fence and the road. I think that in the high season Russians are settled there. We lived in room 405. The room is large, very beautiful, next to the main pool, close to the sea. Numbers 300-320 and 200-220 are also very good. As for the staff, there are no complaints! Cleaning daily, water and Fanta with Pepsi - updated daily. And most importantly, almost everyone understands Russian at least a little. They teach it very actively, so there are no problems with communication.
3. Food and entertainment. I must say right away that there are no discos and nightclubs in the hotel. So all lovers of active nightlife should consider other hotels)) Animation is as follows: water aerobics in the pool, games (volleyball, darts), evening performances. Russian is also spoken everywhere. We caught a fakir show, an evening of live music (the musicians also sang in Russian, which was very nice). The animators tried very hard to entertain us, although there were not very many people on our arrival. The food is excellent. Breakfast, like everywhere else, is a continental option, however, daily there was a choice of 3-4 fresh fresh juices and a hot coffee pot with natural coffee on each table. Lunch - to choose from - either in the main restaurant or on the beach (there is less choice of dishes, but they cooked on an open fire). I note that the fish, liver and lamb were very tasty on the grill. Dinner at the main restaurant (dress code applies). There were always themed days. For example, there was a day when a very large selection of cheeses was presented. Another time - a great turkey from the chef. The fish day was represented by dorado, tuna in several versions (including tuna carpaccio). There were always mussels, shrimp, fish in batter, beef and lamb. Wines are served in bottles on ice (a new bottle is opened in front of you), beer is also brought in bottles and poured into glasses. We talked with tourists from other hotels - there was not even something like that there... Alcohol, in comparison with Egypt, is not diluted. Only dry wines (white, rose, red), there is vermouth (somewhat similar to Martini, not bad), local vodka . . well... for an amateur... Whiskey and cognac - too, but you can drink... There is a date liqueur - Tibarin and citrus liqueur - Citradin (40 degrees, sweet, but we liked it).
4. Beach, pools, Spa. The beach is large, with sunbeds even in high season there is no problem. Local traders are not particularly intrusive and the territory where sunbeds do not enter is prohibited by the state. The sand is great, soft and clean. The entry into the sea is gentle, to a depth of 100 meters to go. There are algae, they swim, but we observed them once. There are small arrogant fish that strive to make you a peeling of your legs)). The hotel has 2 swimming pools, both large, cleaned in the morning and evening. Without heating. There is an indoor pool, but it is only open during winter. The spa is one of the best in Hammamet, but for those who have been to Turkey in a hammam, nothing special will be offered.
5. Excursions. We were only on one - Carthage - Tunisia (capital) - Sidi Bou Said (the famous blue and white city). Well, I can’t say what impressed me . . It’s good that it didn’t last very long, at 5 we already returned to the hotel. They also offer the Sahara, a crocodile farm, a yacht, fishing, etc. But we were at such events in different countries, so we didn’t go. Cost from 30 dollars. Ours cost 40 for an adult.
6. Shops, purchases. I will make a reservation right away. On the territory of Tunisia EVERYWHERE they pay only with the local currency - the dinar. The hotel is away from the center. But there are no problems to get to the shops. Near the hotel there are always 5-6 taxi cars. It takes 7-10 minutes to drive to the center of Hammamet (New Medina), it costs 5 dinars (2.5 dollars). There are a lot of taxis in the very center, it’s safe to drive even at night, every taxi has a meter, so you won’t be deceived. Back - call your hotel and you will be brought to the place. There is a market in the center (not very big). You can and should bargain there! And there are shops with a fixed price. Compare and choose for yourself. Alcohol is sold only in the General chain of stores and there it is cheaper than in Duty. (We bought Sidratine for $10, but it cost 10 euros at the duty station). Olive oil in the store 4-15 dollars, in duty - 13-20 euros. Yes, more advice! If you leave the hotel early (before breakfast), take care of yourself! Lunch boxes with dry rations are not provided there, even if you go on a long excursion. In the evening you can make yourself sandwiches, for example. At the airport, a hamburger costs 6-8 dollars, beer - 6, cola - 5.
7. Restaurants. There are three a la carte restaurants on site. To be honest, we didn’t go there, because there they fed about the same as in an ordinary restaurant (meaning? ). One A-la (fish) restaurant is generally paid. And the choice there is also (judging by the menu) not ale…
We went to the Bella Marina restaurant (they talked about it in Eagle and Tails Shopping). Located near the hotel. By taxi there 2-3 dinars, they take you back to our hotel for free (an agreement with the hotel). In the restaurant you can eat meat, fish, and lobsters. Of course we ordered fish. Our order (for three): dorado, weighing a little over a kilogram, langoustines, approximately 1300-1500 gr, a bottle of white wine. The check in rubles amounted to 8.000. You can pay in cash and by card. You pay only for the order, and 6-7 types of side dishes are brought free of charge in small portions (small pies, stewed vegetables, rice, french fries, sauces, pastries). We couldn’t gobble up everything, they wrapped us up with us (no problem). Very tasty and compared to our prices - inexpensive! Langoustines in our city cost a “golden jaw” - about 4.000 per kg!
TOTAL. I really liked the hotel both externally and service. Decent five - no question. The work of the meeting party is complete g…… (I’ll write to them on the official website! ) Everything else… well, I don’t know…. . if there is a choice next time – where to go – we probably won’t choose Tunisia anymore… Well, that’s the whole point taste)

Alcohol is sold only in the General chain of stores and there it is cheaper than in Duty. (We bought Sidratine for $10, but it cost 10 euros at the duty station). Olive oil in the store 4-15 dollars, in duty - 13-20 euros. Yes, more advice! If you leave the hotel early (before breakfast), take care of yourself! Lunch boxes with dry rations are not provided there, even if you go on a long excursion. In the evening you can make yourself sandwiches, for example. At the airport, a hamburger costs 6-8 dollars, beer - 6, cola - 5.
7. Restaurants. There are three a la carte restaurants on site. To be honest, we didn’t go there, because there they fed about the same as in an ordinary restaurant (meaning? ). One A-la (fish) restaurant is generally paid. And the choice there is also (judging by the menu) not ale…
We went to the Bella Marina restaurant (they talked about it in Eagle and Tails Shopping). Located near the hotel. By taxi there 2-3 dinars, they take you back to our hotel for free (an agreement with the hotel). In the restaurant you can eat meat, fish, and lobsters. Of course we ordered fish. Our order (for three): dorado, weighing a little over a kilogram, langoustines, approximately 1300-1500 gr, a bottle of white wine. The check in rubles amounted to 8.000. You can pay in cash and by card. You pay only for the order, and 6-7 types of side dishes are brought free of charge in small portions (small pies, stewed vegetables, rice, french fries, sauces, pastries). We couldn’t gobble up everything, they wrapped us up with us (no problem). Very tasty and compared to our prices - inexpensive! Langoustines in our city cost a “golden jaw” - about 4.000 per kg!
TOTAL. I really liked the hotel both externally and service. Decent five - no question. The work of the meeting party is complete g…… (I’ll write to them on the official website! ) Everything else… well, I don’t know…. . if there is a choice next time – where to go – we probably won’t choose Tunisia anymore… Well, that’s the whole point taste)

The tour was bought online through a time-tested tour agent and knew that they would not advise bad! And as always everything was excellent value for money perfect! Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately offered a better room for a small surcharge, but we weren’t seduced and I don’t advise you to differ a little, but they ask you to overpay a hundred bucks.

The tour was bought online through a time-tested tour agent and knew that they would not advise bad! And as always everything was excellent value for money perfect! Upon arrival at the hotel, we were immediately offered a better room for a small surcharge, but we weren’t seduced and I don’t advise you to differ a little, but they ask you to overpay a hundred bucks. Everything was great in our room, at least we really liked both the design and the decor, a huge bed plus a sofa. A couple of table chairs. Good lighting both during the day and room lighting. The bathroom is spacious with conveniently placed towel rails. Draining water pressure and the like is fine. Cleaned the room very high quality without any extra charge but we left a tip. The hotel staff are wonderful friendly people. Well, now about the sea, this is what we wanted most of all) The beach is excellent, the water is super. There are a lot of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, so we always found free places where to sunbathe enough about taking sunbeds. On the beach you can take pictures and ride a camel) The beach is perfect for a family vacation. You can go water skiing or windsurfing. The hotel has two swimming pools with sea water and an area reserved for small children. This is if you get tired of the sea) The atmosphere in the hotel is calm and not noisy for a lazy family vacation, this is exactly what we wanted. In conclusion, I want to write a few words about nutrition. 4 restaurants and 5 bars will provide an opportunity to diversify the assortment perfectly. The food is delicious everywhere. Fruit enough at least we are satisfied. True, but for some reason there was not enough seafood. But meat dishes, salads in bulk. They also make delicious pizzas of all kinds. For the money, an affordable hotel with good staff, I recommend going, you will not regret it.

First of all, ask yourself if you want to visit Tunisia? If yes, then let's go… We purchased vouchers from Galop across Europe, to the IBEROSTAR PHENICIA hotel, and in a couple of days we received 100% confirmation from the hotel for our accommodation. Flight by Tunisian airlines "Nouvelair" - a matter of taste, with Russian in any way, the service is the same.

Flight by Tunisian airlines "Nouvelair" - a matter of taste, with Russian in any way, the service is the same. Upon arrival, the meeting party of Exotic Tours announced that there were no places anywhere and all tourists from Ukraine who were heading to Hammamet began to press on the hotels of Rio Palace Hammamet and Rio Marco Polo (apparently they sold our brother “not for expensive” to newly opened guests. ) The hotel is good, restored, the area is not very large, almost green. The food is good, there is even pork, (but not Turkey) The beach can be cleaned occasionally, the sea is clean, shallow. There are not many excursions, I advise Carthage, the Sahara. The main thing in the hotel no one knows Russian. The contingent of vacationers - Spaniards, French, Germans and Portuguese. Having hoisted our flag on the beach, we flew home from UIA.
