The hotel fully justified both the expectations and its "star" status, without any particular drawbacks, quite suitable for families with children and friends.
At the reception, fill out the card and in 10-15 minutes you are in the room, don’t even try to remember the way to the room right away) it will come by itself after 5-6 independent trips through the hotel’s corridors. We got number 324, the third floor in block A, the view was on the neighboring hotel (nothing remarkable and even a little upset at first, as well as the lack of a balcony) and the rising sun. If you have knowledge of the language, at least English, at the reception, specify your wishes about the room, so that they are nearby if you come with a company, the presence of a balcony, etc. if there is a possibility certainly consider . In general, the staff is quite friendly and tries in every way to eliminate the problems that arise for us. The room itself, in principle, you can spend the night, there is a TV with a Russian channel, and there is nothing special to highlight, solid 3, the only thing that bothered me personally was the tiled floor in the room, very slippery and sticky.
The food at the hotel is quite varied, especially in the early days, but after several meals you understand that it is especially tasty for you, and in principle you stop your choice. The menu includes beef, chicken, fish, several types of potatoes, pasta, rice, legumes, a variety of casseroles, stews and fresh vegetables, soups are mashed soups, well, for an amateur, fruits are always melons, apples, grapes, pears, dates. What particularly struck me was the large assortment of sweets, and most importantly, almost all of this abundance is really tasty.

Of the drinks, only the beer (Celtia) was pleased, they are poured from 10 in the lobby bar and from 11 in the snake bar, quite a decent light beer. I also recommend trying red wine, which is also relatively good, it's just to diversify the bar. Stronger drinks can be taken once to try what a tasteless thing it is, they are highly diluted, so if you have the opportunity and need, bring it with you. We didn’t have enough time to go to Sousse (10 km), since the sale of strong alcohol is allowed in Tunisia only in the General supermarkets.
If you want to go yourself to the neighboring cities, these are Monastir and Sousse, approximately the same distance from the hotel, it is better to take a taxi (yellow cars), they stand right outside the hotel gate, the trip costs 10 dinars (200 rubles) one way, the initial price may be offered and 40 dinars, calmly reduce the price, and if everything happens, you can leave for 8. Also, bus number 52 runs to the center of cities, the fare is 1 dinar, but this is 20 minutes longer (travels along the route) and you definitely won’t win in comfort . Souvenir shopping can be done at the Folla shopping center, which is located directly opposite the hotel across the road.
The territory of the hotel is not very big, but you can't call it small either. The central part of the hotel is, of course, a large swimming pool, divided by artificial straits into three parts, a large deep and sunny one, and two smaller ones (1.25 m) and shady ones. There is also a children's pool with a depth of 0.8 m. This part of the hotel is planted with palm trees and shrubs, the area is clean and relaxing. The second part of the hotel territory is located on the side of the entrance, in front of the main entrance, these are two pools with slides, there is also a stage for evening animations.
As for the sea, I recommend going there in the morning (8-9 o’clock), at this time it is calm and, most importantly, clean, because in the later hours the excitement rises and it no longer seems clean because of the algae caused by the surf and rising sand. And so, in principle, I have no complaints, the sea pleased).
The hotel is good and if you do not look for cons, then you will have a great rest).
