We were in this hotel at the beginning of October 2010. The hotel then worked for only six months. Heaps of garbage on the sides of the beach, imperfections from the facade and in the hotel itself were present, but everything else was at a decent level, I will not repeat. We took half board, but two meals a day was enough: we went to the end of breakfast and the beginning of dinner (the pancreas was grateful), during the break - fruits taken from breakfast, which were quite varied - they even gave fried bacon, which made my wife very happy, a great lover "harmful" food. The weather at this time is normal - the sea is warm, not hot, it rained a couple of times, but after an hour or two the sun was already shining. For those who go on half board, I will inform you that water can be bought in small shops opposite the hotel. All drinks in the hotel are very expensive, however, served from bottles. For dinner, they generally give a whole bottle of wine. The General store is a couple of kilometers to the left of the hotel towards the medina: if you follow the road along the sea without turning anywhere, you can get there in 20-30 minutes. Landmark - school, fenced with a high fence. I am writing in such detail because we did not find the store on the first try, even after asking the locals. The first time is really better to go by taxi. In this store you can buy some goods that are not available in Ukraine: couscous, soap and shampoo with tfale, very appetizing-looking olives by weight, etc.
A separate conversation about the purchase of alcoholic beverages. The department itself is located from another entrance. It has no identifying marks. You can understand that they sell alcohol there only by the crumpled faces of the regulars rubbing near it and the crap approaches. Anyone who remembers the liquor departments of Gorbachev's perestroika times will understand what I'm talking about, and the situation there is the same. Arabs in general have a far from heroic appearance, and those who regularly consume alcoholic beverages - this must be seen! But at the same time, the whole queue stood sedately and waited while I chose drinks (for such a pause in Gorbachev's times, we could run into trouble)! I must say that Tunisia has a very decent wine. On a tour of the Sahara, our guide told us that 70-80% of French wines are made from Tunisian wine materials. Strong drinks - try once, beer - ordinary light.
If you buy argan oil, then the lowest price is in the pharmacy.

I hope that my information is useful to someone.
