This hotel is the only thing that reconciled me to a holiday in this country. And that is not without flaws ...In order.
Tour operator: I do not advise anyone to buy tours from "One2Go", - managers are incompetent, not interested in tourists, they issued a return ticket for a non-existent flight.
Airline: "Novelair" - Tunisian Airlines - great service, clean new plane with normal size seats, friendly Arab flight attendants, NO POUR! , as a result - less than any drunkenness on board.
Transfer: fast, comfortable, in an air-conditioned jeep.
On the left - hotels, on the right - ash and the steppe all around, on the side of the steppe they burn healing guano in order to bait mosquitoes.
Hotel: a long wing is located parallel to the road, half of the rooms overlook this very steppe. At the entrance, we saw that all the windows and balconies were closed, except for one ...needless to say, we were given this particular room. Why was everything open? because the air conditioner didn't work.
That is, in general, but it is July, and we are in Africa. Since it was at night, no one even wanted to talk to us. In the morning, the Riad guide swore to solve the issue and tearfully asked to wait until the evening. We said that we understand his grief, but we won’t wait, and we came to the reception with our suitcases. Here they began to boil water, that there is no other room, there is only a higher category and let's pay extra 50 bucks a day. We said, we don’t need a higher one, we won’t pay anything, look for a way out. Here, fortunately for us, some people in good suits appeared, I think, the management. Everyone ran, began to squat and bow, and I took advantage of the moment and again attacked the reception. Immediately there was a beautiful spacious room in which everything worked.
Then it turned out that through that bad number they were "chasing" the tourists of "Van to Gou".
Room: large, clean, separate bathroom and toilet, huge bed, not old furniture, you can't hear your neighbors.
Quality cleaning
Restaurant: took HB, drinks for dinner for a fee. Food of high quality and sufficient assortment, often there were seafood and fish, a lot of fruits, dates, wines worthy. They didn’t pay in cash, they signed bills, no one took the money when leaving, it turned out that the hotel switched to free drinks at dinner, they were presented to us retroactively. For the restaurant a solid 5.
Beach: cleaned, sun loungers are, decent towels. But we were not lucky here either - the sea was muddy, no one cleans the algae from the shore, where the algae ended, jellyfish the size of a good watermelon begin. I swam 2 times, then gave it up. Yes! I was completely unprepared for what a public beach is - sticky merchants endlessly scurry back and forth, Arab mothers bathe in clothes, their ...twenty children constantly squeal, rush around sunbeds, in short, Armageddon.
It turned out that they flew who knows where to have a rest near the pool.
Pool: Large, clean, enough sunbeds, you can lie on the tiles, you can on a beautiful well-kept lawn.
Territory: quite green and large for Tunisia
Thalasso Center: I didn’t have a chance, which I regret very much.
In the halls, there is an incomparable openwork carving on alabaster, no worse than in a museum.
Excursions: bought an excursion to Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia and Carthage. In principle, it is interesting, but the organization ....waited for 2 hours at some half-stations when the rest of the tourists were brought up. A comical incident also happened - the guide Riad brought us to a cafe near the market in Tunisia to drink local tea from mint and nuts, we sit, drink, he sits down at our table, orders coffee, drinks, leaves, the bill is brought to us : ))) And it seems so be it. Speaking of "tea" - the taste is interesting, but be careful those who have problems with pressure.
I don’t know if he raises or lowers the pressure, but I almost dropped my skates: ((My head ached wildly, and I was on the verge of fainting, it’s good that my husband was there, he literally dragged me to the bus.
When flying back, with our tickets for a non-existent flight, we ourselves went to the Novelair office, since they speak decent English there, the issue was resolved, and we flew home. But neither Riad nor the Kyiv office wanted to help us with anything at all, even telling us where the airline's office was.
Takeaways from this trip:
the hotel is good, the country is not good, the sea in July in Mahdia is lousy, people ...I don’t know how to write so as not to offend anyone, say, even worse than in Egypt, “van to go” are rare bastards. A friend said: "these are Arabs who think they are French. " All aspirations are like doing nothing and tearing off money.
Yes, gentlemen, who will be in Tunisia - there is very cheap and very high quality olive oil, there are the most delicious dates, high quality perfumes in duty free.
