I will write about the hotel. Everything is very simple. There is no TV or hair dryer in the room. But it can be experienced. The food is tasty. The pool is one and small, there are a lot of Tunisians with their families resting, there are almost no Poles, Russians and Ukrainians. The Tunisians themselves (those who rested in the hotel) are very well-mannered people, this can be seen immediately. The staff, in my opinion, is a little dissolute, but before that I had not rested in 3 * stars, I could be wrong, maybe for a hotel of this level and good employees.
Now about the location: a huge plus is that the hotel is in the heart of the city. The bazaar, the mausoleum and the Ribat monastery (and these are the main attractions of the city) are within easy reach - 200-300m. This is from the main entrance. From the other entrance, the sea and the street, such as the embankment. Many locals, children, youth walk and run along it. Everyone stares at you. Some try to speak in long French phrases, to which we responded with a polite smile (we do not rummage in French, like many of our compatriots). By the end of the holiday, these faces were already annoying, and at the beginning, too.
The hotel does not have its own beach. Imagine a city beach (although it is also close to the hotel), on which there are about a dozen hotel umbrellas. You lie mixed with locals, which I didn’t like either. You have to pay for the sunbed and mattress. The sea is blue-blue, very salty, and dirty. We arrived after strong waves, and so, on the very first day to me. in addition to bags and other debris, a gasket (used) was nailed. That was a shock!

But there are places to eat. Literally 100 km by sea from Monastir, Italy, there are many Italian restaurants on the waterfront. Prices are small, as in Kyiv: pizza 50 UAH, plus whatever else you want.
I also noticed the national trait of the Tunisians: they love to teach: what to say, what to do. In short, until you roar, they don’t understand, and then they get pissed off like children.
CONCLUSION: if you want Arabic flavor, go to rest in this hotel. For myself, I concluded: I don’t want more color, I want rest and relaxation, and I won’t go to a hotel in the city anymore.
