Agree with previous review. There are cons, of course, but I personally found much more pluses. We went to the hotel not on a last-minute ticket, it turned out from the nose - 437 dollars (with a discount from the travel agency), for 8 so to speak (arrival - after dinner, departure - at 1-45 nights) days. We flew from Kyiv to the relatively new airport of Tunisia, which is located in the town of Enfid - 3.5 hours. The road takes about an hour, although nearby the hotel is the airport of the city of Monastir named after the first president of Tunisia - Habib Bourguiba. It is 7 km away and the road takes 10-15 minutes, but... planes with Ukrainian tourists do not land at the moment at this monastery airport, and land only at Enfid. It should be noted that upon arrival in the resort area of ​ ​ Skanes, where the Prima Life Skanes Thalassa 4 * hotel is actually located, the weather was cloudy and post-rainy - puddles were everywhere. We did not wait for the sun that day, as well as the next day, which was completely rainy at all and only in the evening did it finally stop pouring and dripping from the sky. For the next five days of our vacation, the weather favored a beach holiday: the water in the sea warmed up to + 20 + 21 degrees (comfortable enough for swimming, as for me), and the air temperature was + 23 + 25. I will add a few facts to the topic of feeding: for lunch, every day they offer ice cream FOR ALL; fish and beef dishes were offered in abundance. The assortment has always included poultry: turkey and chicken meat, as well as all kinds of meatballs and midallions (from beef and turkey). Once there was an octopus with stewed vegetables. They also prepared blue ones and zucchini. Of course, there was always local couscous, where would we be without it! : )))
French fries, pizza, pasta (several types), pancakes (with chocolate and apricot jam), a sea of ​ ​ pastries and cakes - all this was enough in stock. Personally, I liked the food in this hotel. By the way, I did not hear a single comment from vacationers about all kinds of poisoning and indigestion. The food was at a decent level.
Regarding the contingent of vacationers: it is diverse: Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Russians, Ukrainians. And couples, with children and young couples - everyone rests in this hotel.

Wi-fi - in the lobby of the hotel and at the entrance to it, as well as in the lobby bar, although a "braked" little one, but permanent and free / free.
The rooms are good, spacious, a mini-bar and a safe are free, there is a TV and you can take a remote control to it (you need to leave a deposit of 20 dinars), or you can do without it, since there are not very many TV channels and there is no need switching is almost non-existent.
Beach towels, also on deposit. Room cleaning on request.
In addition to five outdoor pools, the hotel also has an indoor pool (in bad weather, a good help).
The sea nails to the shore regularly / daily, a sufficient number of all kinds of algae, which the hotel's beach attendants constantly remove. On the beach they often bother - sticky local young hucksters - sellers of all sorts of not particularly necessary stuff: towels, capes, beads, mini-palm trees, silver goods... The guards on the beach chase them if possible, but since the beach area is passable, then salvation almost none of them. . .
We went by city buses and minibuses to: Monastir and Sousse. The situation in them was absolutely calm and nothing reminded of those turbulent events that from time to time excite this country in recent months. And shops, and bazaars in medinas, and government agencies work without interruption and according to the schedule, as well as public transport.
Dollars and euros can be changed at the reception (the exchange rate is usually more profitable than in city exchangers), but you need to be vigilant - indeed (as already indicated in the message below) the receptionist may accidentally make a mistake when exchanging currency, naturally not in your favor.
So, if you are not a bore, but an optimist and fly to a hotel for 8-10 days, then you will like the hotel.
Have a good rest!
