If you arrive in Tunisia in the City of Enfidha, then be prepared for a tedious transfer to the hotel. I didn't measure the exact time, but somewhere around 3 hours. But that's okay. . .
I liked the hotel itself. Large landscaped area. There is a small zoo. The rooms were cleaned frequently. Sometimes the drains in the bath and in the washbasin were clogged with sand, but the maids quickly dealt with this. True, it was difficult to communicate with them: they knew English poorly, and I don’t know French (the second state language in Tunisia) at all! We had to communicate with gestures. The receptionists knew English well, Russian - not so much. In the same place (at the reception) they changed the currency to dinars. Be careful when exchanging currencies!! ! Count money without leaving the cash register. We were once short of $10 in dinars. Hope it wasn't on purpose. It's good that you noticed right away, and then try to prove how much was missing there. In general, Tunisians are very friendly. So be prepared to hear "Hello! " from them all the time. to your address. Answer the same, politeness has never hurt anyone.
The hotel has two swimming pools, which we never swam in. And why, if there is a beautiful sea very close by? The water was very clear, with a bluish tinge. Even at a shallow depth, one could clearly see the bottom. The beach is sandy with very fine white sand. Be very careful with your photo/video equipment! Do not let it get on it, as it clogs in the smallest cracks, from which it is difficult to get it. Sun loungers on the beach were paid, but we took them for free. There were few tourists back then.
The main problem of the hotel is the dining room (namely, the dining room, not the restaurant). I have nothing against food quality food, but they always fed the same food. No variety. Sometimes you go to dinner and you already know what you're going to eat. In short, if the owners "put things in order" in the restaurant, then the hotel can safely take the fourth star.
Animation... According to the reviews, I expected to see something amazing! But unfortunately, all the animation was reduced to leading a round dance with children and playing music for those who wish (as many as 5-6 people) to dance. Every evening is the same! And all this grief animation was carried out in the lobby of the hotel. Sleep was impossible!
I recommend taking HB meals (breakfast and dinner). You can dine in a cafe near the hotel. There is also a bank branch, a souvenir shop and a supermarket. Take drinking water there, do not drink from the tap! Further, if you turn off the road, there is a metro station. The metro itself connects Mahdia, Monastir and Sousse. So if you want to go on an excursion without a guide, then ask the train schedule at the hotel reception.
The weather at that time of the year was changeable. During the first days of rest, a cool wind blew from the sea. Tolerable, but still not very comfortable. So we immediately went on a 2-day excursion to the Sahara in the first days. Attention: everyone should take an excursion to the Sahara!! ! A lot of impressions!! ! Oh yes, about the weather. . . There were sunny days, and it was raining, and the sea was stormy (3-meter waves were rising, just super!!! ).
In general, I liked the rest! But if you prefer warm sunny weather, I still advise you to go on vacation in September.
