We rested in Tunisia for the first time (there used to be Turkey, Egypt) The rest was a success - 11 days were not enough and I didn’t want to fly to autumn Russia! and Monastir. The planes did not interfere at all, even though our windows did not look out to the sea, but to the road and the airport. The hotel is well fed - a lot of meat, vegetables.

We rested in Tunisia for the first time (there used to be Turkey, Egypt) The rest was a success - 11 days were not enough and I didn’t want to fly to autumn Russia! and Monastir. The planes did not interfere at all, even though our windows did not look out to the sea, but to the road and the airport. The hotel is well fed - a lot of meat, vegetables. cheeses, ice cream, fruits, wine - pink, red, white - from bottles - poured by waiters during lunch and dinner. Dinners 3 times a week themed - evenings of Tunisian, Italian cuisine with disguised waiters and the appropriate design of the dining room and music. We ate 3 kg, although we tried not to overeat, but everything is so delicious! The sea is shallow, clean, very hot at lunchtime and cool in the morning - affectionate, in a word. But before the storm, jellyfish sailed, which sting very strongly - like nettles - it is necessary to apply acid to the burn site - tomato (or vinegar, but where can I get it? ) The beach is cleaned every day and plowed with a horse - so that the sand does not compact - it is very white small! We went swimming behind the buoys and swam there with a mask - a lot of fish and squid and all sorts of unknown living creatures - interesting to watch! After the storm, the sea became very dirty - we swam in the pool (there is sea water in the children's pool too). We went on excursions with Pegasus to the capital - the city of Tunis and its environs - Sidi Bou Said and Carthage and on an excursion to the Phrygia safari park with a wonderful dinner and the Zulu show - both excursions are very interesting - I recommend visiting, they take all day - until dark! Taxi inexpensive - we went to Sousse and Monastir ourselves to the bazaars in the old city (medina) - we bought leather bags and wallets, very tasty olive oil, tahini halva - in supermarkets for locals. money was changed at a bank in Monastir or at a hotel at the reception (the exchange rate is lower there) The money they use is the Tunisian dinar, but they take any currency at the bazaar. you can smoke everywhere, including Monastir airport, but you can’t drink - dry law in the country - they dilute the booze in the hotel, and there is no choice in local stores and everything is very expensive - take it with you or in duty free. The rest was a success, but the Sahara and the coliseum in El Jem are not yet covered - you have to go again!

I decided to write from my warm memories. only in the morning arrived from Monastir. The main disadvantage is time. although. . . when you fly to Tunisia you win 3 hours. i. e. departed at 13.30. arrival local time-14.30. all quickly at customs. no need for visas, which pleases. but on the other hand, there was a flight back at 21.

I decided to write from my warm memories. only in the morning arrived from Monastir. The main disadvantage is time. although. . . when you fly to Tunisia you win 3 hours. i. e. departed at 13.30. arrival local time-14.30. all quickly at customs. no need for visas, which pleases. but on the other hand, there was a flight back at 21. oo local, the flight was delayed. flew out at 21.45. arrived in Moscow at 04.45. It turns out that they flew out in the evening at sunset, they arrived in the morning at dawn). Transaero-perfectly! So. Now about the hotel itself. to. when we went to it almost could not find reviews at all. Located almost opposite Monastir airport, but don't be alarmed. . You can't hear the planes at all, you can only see them. Minus one - there is nowhere to go outside the hotel. but I pay tribute to the animators of the hotel, the show is super! the guys are trying with might and main. Almost all professional dancers. Every day the show time is different. . it's a pity they flew away and didn't see the new project of the guys-Lord of Dance. Irish dances. but I saw their rehearsal, I was shocked. . Goodies. The animation is unobtrusive, but whoever wants to, will always find something to their liking, from volleyball and bocha to aqua aerobics and dancing. Further. . . rooms are good. . very. we, however, had a balcony on the sea and a neighboring hotel (and on a wasteland between hotels) is bad. . from a nearby hotel music yells until one in the morning. . exactly yelling. 3 cripples rested there. . . (very few people) but they were amused to the fullest. . sleep is impossible. . in their 23.00-2 nights in Moscow. . . this is a little stressful. Then they began to close the balcony and turn on the air conditioner. helped. very. So. . now the territory is all och. compact. conveniently. . this is not a hotel in Turkey. everything is different - the building with the letter p (residential part), a pool with sea water and bleach inside this P. . and all at once the sea. Almost Azov in sunset and depth. great for little kids. . they dig for themselves there in the shallows and will not go anywhere. . they will not crawl to the depths. . well, no way. . strength is not enough. . to a depth to the waist go at least 100 meters (this depends on height))) and so that with your head, you won’t wait. . ). . so everyone is splashing aground. . but you will lie down in this shallow near the shore, and the water is boiling water. . like in the bathroom. . unusual feeling. . and the people lie like a rookery of alligators. and another chip-loungers pulled out into the sea. . just imagine a blue sea, white sand (well, not very white, there is flour farther away from distant hotels, walk along the coast to them... get a lot of pleasure, there is no distinction between hotel beaches, which pleases) white sun loungers. . if you look at the photo, just the Maldives are resting. . I would say the Cayman Islands, just (I'm talking about lying vacationers, if anyone does not understand my associations). I got distracted. . Sorry. . attracted to romance. . ) Restaurant: varied food. . a lot of fish. . it's good!!! ! a lot of meat, though harsh on the grill, but the stew is quite normal. . but everywhere there is some kind of seasoning, not very, like zira, I could not eat. . got bored quickly. . as well as chickens, turkey, rabbit. in the beach bar they roast for lunch on the grill in the fresh air. meat. a fish. tasty. Lots of ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Watermelons and melons are constant, and the third fruit changes - peach, orange or apricot. BUT DO NOT take it out of the restaurant! We were slandered and forced to put apricots out of the bag, which we took the child to eat after the children's disco, although you can go outside with a plate there to put in a bag. but it's just wild! It's a shame! And one more unpleasant moment - the waiters - if you don't give money, they won't fit. . don't wait for the glasses. we ate at different tables, and some fed the waiter, he almost licked their ass. . booked a table. especially the Germans. It's a shame very much! There are a lot of people in the restaurant. The lines are terrible. The cooks are in no hurry. . pizza, scrambled eggs, donuts (oooo! ! I advise!! ! insanely delicious!!!!!!! ) you wait 15 minutes for donuts. go after them first, otherwise everything else will cool down. . Well, you won't go hungry. . And another minus, except for breakfast, you will not find coffee and tea in the restaurant! You have to go to the bar on the street. horror. Can you imagine, after dinner, hotz tea, no. . . go to the bar. Drinks: wine, yuppies, water. not rich, we don't drink wine. . although praised by local staff is white wine. . good, tried it out of curiosity. Shopping! went to Sousse by train. walk from the hotel - 10-15 min. to the station opposite the airport-and all-tickets in the train itself. there are old (not super) compositions and new ones with air conditioning. it's like luck. 30 minutes and 80 millimeters (less than a dinar. 1 dinar-20 rubles, or 1 dollar-1.3 dinars). Medina (old town, market) opposite the port, everyone goes there. bargain shamelessly. . dropped 4 times. . boldly. I bought a leather bag - the initial price is 120 dinars, I bought it for 20 dinars. ). och. cheap olive oil - 1 liter - 6 dinars. extra virgin. so. further-Monastir-you can also take the train-50 millimeters. . (you will walk longer to the station, but cheaper) or by taxi - 4 dinars, regardless of the number of people (within reason, of course) or by tuk-tuk-moped with 4 seats under an awning. . exotic and funny. . I visited. pleasures of the sea. . also 4 dinars. Monastir is a funny town! a mixture of the Mediterranean and orthodox Muslimism) beautiful! ask to bring you not to Medina, but to Ribat (then you will be taken along the sea. . beautiful! ). this is a fortress of the 5th century on the seashore, there is also a mausoleum-museum nearby, almost the Taj Mahal from afar. 3 minutes from there and you are in Medina. really she is. small. but there is a gift shop there - Yasmina. . prices are fixed, no. high. . . shoes are generally low. . . leather slippers - 12 dinars - 240 rubles. . find such prices with us))) Halva, coffee and anything else (for example, harissa seasoning is only available in Tunisia. . I advise) ask in Medina, they will tell you everything. . he is next to Yasmina) Well, everything seems to be. . Phew. write if you have any questions. I recommend the hotel. . . despite the small things. . normal rest if you do not find fault with trifles. especially since it was only less than a year after a complete reconstruction. the guide said, only brick walls remained. The site has old photos, before reconstruction. now everything is super! A. . yet. . Russians-50%. Please behave yourself. . please. . so ashamed of some of our compatriots. . . mat. . redneck include. . . already drunk in the morning. . The hotel has practically no Russian-speaking staff. . only at the reception. . and the hotel has Alina, a Russian woman. . hotel employee for work with Russians. . if anything, she will help and sort things out. If it's a problem, call her. The front desk knows where she is. Well, thank you for reading my opus! I hope I helped you. So knowledge of a little bit of another language is welcome. . at least English at the school level.

Pros: - If you want to take a break from Russians and from Russian speech in particular, then you will definitely like this hotel! Russians rarely come here. (For example, we were the only Russians in the hotel for about 10 days). It is quite possible to communicate with the staff in broken English))) - The weather at that time was excellent - +26 degrees - heat, but not to say that it was unbearable.

- The weather at that time was excellent - +26 degrees - heat, but not to say that it was unbearable. The sea was still cold in the morning. The beach was cool, with a light breeze. By 12 o'clock the weather was gaining momentum and it was already possible to swim and sunbathe. Umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach are free.
- We had 2 meals a day (breakfast, dinner), but the hotel also provides 3 meals a day (so it's better to arrange this in Moscow or pay extra on the spot). They feed quite well. Buffet. There is also a cafe on site. Too expensive, in my opinion. If you order a pizza, keep in mind that it is large - it will definitely be enough for two.
- The hotel has an excellent animation team! (I don’t know about other hotels, but they really work well and from the heart) A varied entertainment program for the whole day. For 10 days, the evening program is different (fakirs, dancers, magic tricks, etc. )
- The airport is close to the hotel. You can see the departure of the aircraft. But it doesn't interfere at all. Doesn't make any loud noise.
- The rooms are cleaned every day. Tip = 1 dinar = the maid will smile sweetly at you, treat you with attention, make the bed with imagination and lay out a dressing gown in the shape of a rose))

The rooms are standard, they clean and change towels every day, the food is normal (national dishes are prepared for dinner, a variety of seafood dishes), the beach is clean. Animation is present. (generally corresponds to the description that you will find on the Internet). Cons (in my opinion): 1. Language barrier (no one speaks Russian, but only English at the reception).

Animation is present. (generally corresponds to the description that you will find on the Internet).
Cons (in my opinion):
1. Language barrier (no one speaks Russian, but only English at the reception).
2. The hotel is located between the two cities of Sousse and Monastir. The metro stop is about 1.5 km away, not far to go, but. . .
(Although by and large there is nothing special to do in these cities)
3. Near the airport. Airplanes fly intermittently.
I took it easy, but the fact is the fact...
4. The sea is clean, the water is clear, but shallow. (about 50 m you have to walk to swim, for - children - a big plus... )
5. Of course there is some discrimination against our tourists. If you only quarrel, you will be given a room with a sea view, etc.
And so do not expect that they will spread out in front of you.
Conclusions: the country is interesting, to travel, to see (the desert, Carthage, Tunisia, etc. ), but if you go to rest in October (I don’t know how in Tunisia in the summer), then you have to go to the Red Sea !! ! And only there! !

If you still decide to relax in this hotel, and you have no other choice, I advise you to read this to the end. So the hotel. The room is standard. The beach is normal. This is where the good ends and the bad begins: 1. They steal! a lot and on trifles, all that lies badly. Perfume (if there are two bottles, not full and full, they steal the full one), hundreds (this is no longer a trifle), T-shirts, everything that is new and more is pretty.

If you still decide to relax in this hotel, and you have no other choice, I advise you to read this to the end.
So the hotel. The room is standard. The beach is normal. This is where the good ends and the bad begins:
1. They steal! a lot and on trifles, all that lies badly. Perfume (if there are two bottles, not full and full, they steal the full one), hundreds (this is no longer a trifle), T-shirts, everything that is new and more is pretty. They are afraid to steal expensive clothes. In short, they steal but know the measure, although it is very unpleasant. I advise you to definitely rent a safe ~ $ 3 per day.
2. There is no refrigerator/mini-bar in the room. Its rent costs $5 per day. Badly freezing ones come across, but they are not changed.
3. Staff - a separate conversation, everyone smiles but you and your problems are not taken seriously. All complaints
accept with a smile and that's it. The cleaners are very careless.
When cleaning our tour group, they broke several souvenirs left on the bedside tables (there is nowhere else to put them), an expensive statue of $ 100 was included in the number of broken souvenirs. There could be no question of compensation. Its repair was reduced to rough gluing with wood glue (although the statue was carved from solid wood, and when cracked, its value was reset to zero)
4. Prices. All prices at Rosa Beach are 10% higher than other 4-star hotels where our group stayed. In particular, in comparison with Golden Beach 4 * and Scanes Palace 4 *. A bottle of beer (300g) will cost you,
at 2.2$ and a cocktail with compari at 15$
5. Food and drink. Disgusting. To clarify: Never order cocktails there. They do not know how to do them and strongly
dilute. The buffet looks standard-beautiful. But everything is tasteless. They don't know how to cook meat. Vegetables too.
Fruit is often green. Melons are watery and tasteless. Powdered drinks in the morning are poison. They smell like chemicals. But you have to drink. T. to.
there is nowhere to get water, and a 900g bottle of water costs $1.5
If you suddenly want to go to the grill bar. Never order a grill! the portion is very small and 50%
will be in the form of coals. Don't order pizza either. The ingredients for their pizza never match the ingredients on the menu. No sausage or meat. Just a tortilla spread with tomato paste and a few tasteless mushrooms with herbs on top.
6. Waiters. If you give money more than necessary by 0.5-1$, don't expect a gift, when asked about it - just smile.
If you decide to buy wine - the waiters brazenly demand at least $ 3 tips.
And in general it is better to buy alcohol in duty free. before Tunisia. Otherwise, you simply won't find it. Beer and wine are sold only in the state. stores in the city center in small departments, except for Friday (the day of prayer or something). Forget about vodka and cognac. The hotel certainly has it, but it costs like molten gold.
