Just returned from this hotel. In hot pursuit, I hasten to write a review while my memories are still alive in my memory))) We flew with Pegasus, the Nord Wind airline. For the first time in the history of my relationship with him, I have no complaints against him. Flight without delay, round-trip perfect takeoff and landing. We flew from Novosibirsk for 8 hours, we were pretty tired. Fortunately, the hotel is a five-minute bus ride from Habib Bourguiba Airport))) Remember this name! Later, it will be of great use to you. If you call this name in vain, it means that they will look at you almost the same as at the deceased now, the first President of Tunisia (Habib Bourguib) and all the gates will be wide open in front of you! )))
Upon arrival at the hotel, and we arrived in the morning, we were sent to walk around the hotel for a couple of hours, check-in began at 12.30. We got room 1201, on the first floor in the main building. Electronic safe in the room, standard room. The floors are finished "like a brick", woolen mats lie near the beds, the furniture is dark, wooden. There is everything you need from furniture and accessories. There are hangers and a refrigerator in the closet, according to reviews and understanding, there should be a bottle of plain drinking water in the refrigerator, but we got it only the next day, after contacting the cleaners. The plumbing in the bathroom is somewhat old and tired of operation, but it worked. There were no interruptions in water supply, but the shower kept in its place rather weakly and leaked a little. Hygiene items were: soap, shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, body milk and a shower cap. There was also supposed to be a sewing kit, but we didn’t have it, the previous tenants, apparently, dragged it away for souvenirs))) One “but”, it was still present... It was the smell in the room. The smell of dampness and sewage. By the third day of our stay, we finally got used to it. However, everything was smoothed out by the view from the balcony. He was at our pool. Very cute look too! In the evenings, ants ran on the floor in the room. Yes, yes, such cute, large, black ants. They could easily walk on the leg, if you make a minute stop, but basically, if you walk in slippers in the evening, they are almost invisible. In the room, I must add, very dim light... Three night lights in the room and the light of all left much to be desired. Then, they explained to us that electricity, as in Russia, is very expensive. Therefore, it is saved.
The main restaurant is the main restaurant. Basically, he's a scapegoat. Does not take out so many guests. The food is excellent. Meat, vegetables, fruits and sweets in abundance. The waiters are polite smiles, the cooks also know their stuff. But regarding the places in the main restaurant, on the days of the mass arrival of guests, you need to write a separate topic. Among ourselves, we called all newcomers "white meat", in jest, so to speak. So, some "white meat", apparently, broke out abroad for the first time... It was necessary to see how the aunts in huge beach hats and with beach towels ran from one dish to another, leaned over it and sniffed (thank you at least they didn’t try it from a common spoon))) Then, having filled the plate to the brim, and the plates, it should be noted, about 25 cm in diameter, they ran to the tables to take them))) Therefore, we decided that for now "white meat" will be satiated, you can safely approach the restaurant in an hour and a half and you were not mistaken.
The hotel area is small, but clean and comfortable. The pool is of different depths, on the left it is 1.90 cm, if you move to the right, it gets smaller. The water is clean and warm. Animators, apparently, are forbidden to swim in it, as well as waiters to eat in a restaurant. Therefore, at each session of aquajim or water aerobics, if you like, they would certainly come up with a way to plunge into it themselves, together with vacationers... Moreover, the aquajim exercises were very dependent on the girls who decided to warm up... If they had something look, the animators strained their brains and came up with exercises that, well, obviously did not affect the physical activity and other goals of aquadance in any way, but were simply aimed at ensuring that the girls showed their breasts and ass as much as possible. However, many people liked these exercises and they tried very hard, which pleased the male sex, whose wives went away for a minute on business)))
Animation, it should be noted, no. A game of water polo, then aquagym, and that's where the fun at the pool ends. Near the den of the animators hangs a schedule of events, when we expressed a desire to play beach volleyball, we were told that there were supposedly few animators, there weren’t enough for everyone and they didn’t want to play at all. The volleyball field on the beach is in a deplorable state. Everything is littered and covered with sand, the grid is sagging and full of holes. The beach itself is in poor condition. Garbage is more or less cleared, though with sunbeds a complete mess. Vacationers turn them diagonally to the sun, thus taking a place under an umbrella and managing not to lie in the shade. Therefore, many do not have enough space in the shade.
The sea is different. It all depends on the tides, the phases of the moon. The first days were restless, worried, raised the sand, the next days were crystal clear and calm. But jellyfish! They were all the days, just on one day there were few of them, on another even less, and on other days the sea was teeming with them... They sting painfully, suddenly, especially if you can’t see in the water column, you can’t dodge. Looks like a piece of wire, brownish in color. If the victim is close, it shrinks, if you notice from afar, you can see that it stretches into a ring with a diameter of up to 15 cm. In the middle of this ring is the body of the jellyfish itself and a red cross on it. They say that you can save yourself from itching, after her burn, with a tomato, but it seemed to us that this was self-hypnosis. After you spread the tomato, the itching disappears in half an hour, if you do not spread it, the same thing. Try it for yourself)))
I didn’t like that in other hotels simple drinks like Cola, Sprite and Fanta were always freely available, but here you need to approach the bartenders every time. It was issued in all bars, on the beach, in the lobby, in the restaurant, no more than two drinks in one hand. About the lobby bar is another story altogether.
There is an evening shift, a Negro and an Arab girl. Arabchonka among ourselves, we called a bad word. Alcohol, perhaps initially, of good quality, but diluted to obscene. As for the volumes of already poured body alcohol for cocktails, we swore with the bartenders to the point of hoarseness. The matter reached the Russian-speaking employee Belal and the bar chef and all the waiters, the manager and others, but nothing moved. They brought a bottle, opened it, poured it, apologized and... the next day the same thing. So, dear friends, if you want to relax, then you will need to buy alcohol in the city, in the General supermarket. This is a fixed price shop where locals stock up. Please note that it is closed on Fridays. Do not think, we are not cattle and not alcoholics, such an attitude towards guests is simply unpleasant, especially since the money was paid from 70 to 100 of our wooden ones and by the will of fate, or rather, the lack of free places in other hotels, brought us here. We are four families who met already on the spot, of different ages, different statuses, with different incomes. There were many places, we saw a lot of things, that's why we decided to fight for our rights))) It was our entertainment, the animators did not spoil us, we had to entertain ourselves)))
Animators suited only single girls who came across the three seas in search of great and pure love. They were happy to take pictures with them like monkeys, allowed them to touch their hair and other parts of the body and flirt.
About entertainment. The main entertainment of our new friends was a trip to a neighboring hotel with the status of "four stars". It is called "Ruspina", if you leave the hotel on the road, then go to the right. It is possible along the seashore, but there you feel uncomfortable, according to them, because you fall under the sighting glances of the locals. They have the same white bracelets as we do and no one stopped them even once. They calmly went there almost every day and used their services to the fullest. They really liked it, the movement there is more active than we had.
We rode to Monastir every other day as if we were going to work, all the merchants knew us by sight and never bothered, they traded lazily, got drunk. Good things and cost there well as well as at us. We were then told in confidence that the olive oil there is all factory-made good quality and the red price of one liter is no more than 8 dinars. The dinar exchange rate is about 22 rubles. Taxi to Sousse 10 dinars, to Monastir 7 dinars. This is an approximate cost, bargain and you will be happy. In Monastir, the medina is very small, it is impossible to get lost, the merchants are not annoying, unlike Sousse. There they are impudent, there are many swindlers, including those who speak Russian. Don't trust anyone there. There will be questions, write in a personal, I'll tell you about interesting specimens (a guy from Ryazan, a guy from St. Petersburg, a guy from Kyiv) are excellent breeders)))
About 10 minutes walk from the hotel to the right, if there is a go-kart, it costs about 20 dinars, but there are different prices for different go-karts. Works until midnight. Rode there. Rented ATVs from a cigarette vendor on the beach. They were satisfied. Bargain. We got 25 dinars per person. Compare prices at Pegasus, they have in dollars. The route and time of skiing are approximately the same. They took Tunis-Carthage-Sidi Bou Said from Pegasus. If you don't mind the time, you can go. It all depends on the guide. Our spoke chewed, uninteresting. And the other group had a guide, excellent knowledge of the Russian language, but on the bus like in the Gestapo. Step left, step right
Do not be afraid, Tunisians are peaceful, but of course you should not relax. In general, if you are interested, then ask, I will not mention everything here, but I will answer with pleasure.
