A restaurant is not a restaurant, it doesn't even look like a canteen. The lines are such that I can't remember when I was standing in them at all. They even managed to cook ordinary vermicelli so tasty that not a single child ate it. Not a single clean spoon, fork, plate, in general, a clean glass and even a dirty one could not be taken. And the staff is everywhere, in the restaurant, at the bar, they communicate only with Arabs, sometimes with Germans and Poles, they don’t want to talk with Ukrainians and Russians at all.
The beach is dirty, rooms, bedding and towels are no different from the beach. In general, the money is thrown into the trash. In my opinion, I haven’t rested so terribly in Ukraine for a long time.
There is no Internet, I just bought a local SIM card right away. And the food is average, seafood was given, but not enough.
There is nowhere to go out at all, but there is a bus stop nearby and a penny pleasure to go somewhere. But the price/quality of this hotel is good.
Room service is terrible. First, dirty towels are collected at 9.00 hours, and clean ones are brought somewhere around 12.00. You come from the sea, you rinse, but there is nothing to wipe yourself with.
At the entrance to the beach there are shelves for shoes, do not leave your shoes there!
Of the snacks, only pancakes, for which there is a huge queue. They also gave ice cream at 15.00 and it ended in 20 minutes. There is no late dinner or late breakfast. Who arrives late to eat, do not hope, they do not leave anything. There is no food after 21.00.
Minuses:
theft (expensive flip flops were stolen on the beach, sneakers were stolen from others, vacationers also said that the maids also steal, they stole a chain and shoes from the room);
miserable rooms, oak mattresses, every morning the sides hurt;
running out of shampoo, shower gel or toilet paper will not be interrogated;
plumbing splashes in different directions; tv without remote control (for 7 days of rest, we were told every day, tomorrow we will bring it, we never saw it), 1 Russian channel.
Beach towels cannot be exchanged for clean ones.
Dishes are washed terribly, glasses with lipstick.
The minibar in the room is a bottle of ordinary water, nothing more.
Pros:
the food is normal, there is a lot of different meat, the fish was mostly small, bony and unpeeled, once they gave crabs.
The sea is clean, shallow, gently sloping entrance, white sand, near the buoys the depth is up to the neck; to the buoys from the shore, 100 meters.
slides for a child are happiness.
The territory is beautiful, well-groomed.
The rooms are dirty, especially the floor, windows and mirrors. The bed linen is old, all in spools. There are no blankets or duvet covers. Two sheets and a pillowcase. There are blankets - smelly.
We found a cleaning lady, gave 10 dinars and asked us to change the bedding for a new one, showed the pellets. She changed... for the same and asked again - brought again . . 2 new sheets came across. Washed the floor with us - we moved all the beds, bedside tables - washed; she also washed the mirror and glass in front of us, put the blankets and bedspreads in the closet and, in general, it became normal to breathe.
Beach towels are brought to the room, they are also changed in the room, so we met with our cleaning lady every day . . we were waiting for her with towels.
Dining room: big, lots of places. The cleanliness of the tables depends on the person who monitors each of the zones. Basically, you will come a little later than the very beginning and everything - forks, knives, napkins, get it yourself, serve it yourself. After a couple of days, everyone calmly climbed into the closet and took out everything that was missing on the table. But there are also responsible people. We looked after one - again they gave 10 dinars and, voila! in his shift, they were waiting for us in the dining room: a clean tablecloth, beautiful table setting, a vase with flowers, glasses of juice!
in general, in the dining room there is a constant problem with spoons, cups for tea and coffee, with tea bags. The coffee machine sometimes worked, sometimes it didn't.
The food is ok, I can't say more.
Bar (3 pcs. : in the dining room, by the pool, on the beach) - such that everything has always been there. Either there is no beer, then only rosé wine, juice was rarely available at all. Fanta, cola, sprite from the tap are poured into bottles and then from the bottle into glasses.
Pool: depth 2.4 m, bleach is optimal, slides work. Enough loungers.
The beach is beautiful. The sand is white and fine. The sea is great! Loungers are also enough.
Animation Entertainment: there are no Russian-speaking guys. They try. Aqua aerobics, gymnastics on the beach, by the pool, step, dancing - that's all, and we considered the meager food a plus, since we arrived without extra pounds and even left a bit there.
SPA salon in the hotel - DIVORCE!! ! Expensive! Wretched! Dirty! Unprofessional! The declared 2 hours can easily turn into 40 minutes. Spend the rest of the time drinking tea. We got caught, believed the hotel guide. On our last visit to Tunisia, we underwent treatment at the Thalasso Center in Sousse, so there is something to compare with.
Outside the hotel: I liked the port of Kantaue, the Pirate restaurant in Monastir. To the port of El Kantaue and back (+ 1.5 hours there) 25 dinars. In Monastir - 5-7 dinars. Oil and in the hotel and in the city 7-10 dinars per liter. Dates in beautiful boxes in a supermarket in Monastir) from 3 to 12 dinars, depending on weight.
Conclusion: We had a good rest overall. It was really hard to put up with just the bed and mattress. We somehow got used to the rest and tried to react to everything with humor. And then we paid 53 thousand rubles for the ticket. for two, so, in principle, miracles were not expected. The sea and sand alone is worth the money - our opinion. There is nothing terrible in the hotel! You can go here if you know the cons and internally put up with them. Have a good rest!
Accommodation:
We lived in a bungalow (I can’t say anything about the building - they say decently there), but the bungalow is a quiet horror . . shabby walls with chipped pieces of plaster, a bathtub that is disgusting to climb into, with rust and chipped enamel . .
Nutrition:
Every day the same thing - potatoes, pasta, turkey and beef, well, fresh vegetables . . no variety, no choice, and everything is terribly tasteless . . yes, there were shrimp, but they stank on the floor of the hotel, and tasted they were the same as the smell . . went with a company - EVERYONE experienced problems with the stomach and EVERY DAY !!
Service:
People are angry . . the staff (bartenders on the beach and beach workers) every day considered it their duty to at least yell at someone....at first we thought maybe we didn’t come out with faces, but then we saw that we were not alone . . ; )) at the reception, people were also rude a couple of times . . What can I say about the locals, even if the Russian guide Olga, the Pegasus representative at the hotel, managed to be rude....((
The only ones who really had no complaints were the cleaners! ! every day, the towels are clean, and the bed linen, and all those so-loved cranes in flowers; )) and such polite, cute, smiled all the time))
Well done animators! ! the dancers are all professional, apparently, and entertained well, especially in the evenings with their dances !!
Beach:
Nice, clean, amazing sand - white, velvet, sunbeds, mattresses and umbrellas are free! ! only a small one - a person on a person)) and I don’t know how anyone, but I didn’t like that in the sea the maximum depth to the buoys is up to the neck . . and you can’t swim behind the buoys - there is a very active movement of all kinds of sports . . they will demolish your head - not notice! ! so I actually had to swim in the paddling pool . . )) YES, and by the way, there are all kinds of beach entertainment in bulk - and parachutes, and cheesecakes, and bananas, and skis, and so on !!!!
The only thing that actually saved me was a group of friends! ! If my husband and I were brought there together, I think the rest would be lost! ! . .
2. I really liked the hotel, we took a bungalow - a large room, a huge bathroom, a beautiful view. The hotel area is very large and beautiful, beautiful clean beach.
3. Didn't like the local alcohol, except for the date liqueur, but that was to be expected.
4. Family-friendly hotel, excellent animation, excellent cuisine.
