Хороший отдых Good vacation

Hello! We stayed at this hotel from June 25 to July 9.2011. with tour operator Newstravel. The tour operator is bad, no one met us, and the tour operator Tui took us to the hotel. In addition, the plane (Tunisian airlines) fed disgusting. Therefore, if possible, grab something to eat. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the absence of the usual bureaucratic red tape at the border, they let us into the country quickly, free of charge and pleasantly. Well, let's start with the most important thing - the sea!
The sea is not very warm and dirty. In the first two days the sea was very rough and muddy. Then everything returned to normal, but the turquoise water promised in the travel agency was never seen, except for 6 in the morning for several days (at this time the sea is clean and calm). After lunch, it is not possible to swim: algae float, a wave rises and sand rises, so the sea becomes brown, and near the shore there is a dense strip of “impenetrable” seaweed. Another important detail: everyone says that the jellyfish season starts at the end of July, BUT we noticed jellyfish (both small and large) that sting very painfully. My child was stung by a jellyfish 2 times, white blisters popped up, but after you anoint him with ointment and drink an antihistamine, everything goes away within an hour. Locals advise rubbing the bite with a tomato and applying ice, but we didn’t do this, so we don’t know if it helps or not. A big plus is the flat sandy bottom and moderate depth, in this respect it is comfortable to swim. The sea is at its optimal temperature, when the sun is 50 C, the sea is very refreshing.
Beach. Big, clean, constantly cleaned. There are enough sun loungers for everyone, but if you want to lie near the sea, then you need to come at about 6.00-7.00 in the morning. The beach worker takes sunbeds early in the morning, and then when foreigners come at 10.00-11.00 in the morning, he offers them, of course, for a fee!! ! But there was enough space on the beach for everyone at any time. From 10.00 on the beach a bar with a standard set began to work.

The rooms are not old, but not new - normal. Posted without any additional payment, although the number was far from civilization, they were immediately upset, and then they realized that this was better. the disco rattles and people go all night (they leave, then they come). At least we didn't, but there was some kind of commercial disco across the fence, where the music was blaring all night. From ours, i. e. the last room to the reception to go about 5 minutes, and to the beach 7-10 minutes. ATTENTION! Take shower gels and shampoos with you. this luxury is put in the room only once upon check-in!!! ! There is a hair dryer in the room, but it worked intermittently: overheated - did not work; then worked again.
Nutrition. Good, varied and fresh. Breakfasts are mostly monotonous, an ordinary breakfast like in hotels in Turkey and Egypt, but lunches and dinners were not repeated in one week. Two national dishes are served for every lunch and dinner. About the waiters: you need to immediately find contact with the waiter (we gave 1 dollar) then you will always have what you usually drink on the table. In general, the system is so-so because wine is poured in half a glass and in general all drinks are served in glasses. The restaurant is large with several halls, so there is enough space for everyone at any time. Water is issued on cards (1 bottle per 1 room), upon arrival you are given 7 cards, then when you run out of cards, you will be given 7 more at the reception without any problems, no matter how long you came for 10 or 14 days. In addition, water can be bought at the hotel shop.
You can get to Sousse and Monastir on your own by taxi or by bus. A taxi costs 8 dinars (1 dollar = 1.36 dinars), a bus 1 or 1.5 dinars. The taxi is absolutely safe, the driver will be waiting for you at the agreed place, he will give you a short tour, but agree on the price right away. ATTENTION! You need to go to these cities before or after lunch. at 20.00 everything closes, including the market and shops, BUT in Port El Kantaoui (a taxi back and forth costs 36 dinars) you need to go only after dinner, active life begins there only at 19.00. Currency exchange is carried out at the hotel. in the city it is problematic to do so. They change in large stores, but they do not take banknotes issued before 2000, there are no such problems at the hotel. In Porto El Kantaoui, there is an interesting singing fountain with color music and an amusement park (there is an interesting ferris wheel here, but it’s better to ride it when it’s light to see the city, but don’t come before 17.00 because the amusement park is still closed). Buy souvenirs in the cities because in duty free all tourist goods are much more expensive.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday!! !
