Hello everybody! After reading a few reviews, I decided to write my own! This is my first trip to Tunisia, but I have been abroad more than once, there is something to compare with. So, dear readers, if you are going on vacation, then the most important thing is to take Good mood and Positive attitude with you!! ! Then your holiday will be much better!
Let's start from the beginning: We went together with a friend, in September 2010 . . Our tour operator Biblio Globus - no complaints, everything is super (special thanks to Eva - the representative at the hotel, very responsive, will help in everything! ), Transaero airline flight without delays and problems, with than they have a wonderful flight specification service (surcharge of 700 rubles per person), we took a morning flight there and an evening flight back, we didn’t lose it in days. The airport in Tunisia, in principle, is the same as probably in all of Africa, no one is in a hurry and works slowly. So you can spend an hour or an hour and a half there upon arrival. But compared to waiting for luggage at Domodedovo airport, this seems like a trifle.
1. It takes 2.5 hours to get to the hotel. We asked for check-in without any problems on the 3rd floor, they gave the keys without any additional payments.
2. The standard room, everything worked: hair dryer, conder, TV (with remote control), cleaning every day (although towels after dinner, but after talking with the maid in Russian-English and for a nominal fee, a couple of clean towels appeared before dinner). So that there are no animals in the room (spiders, cockroaches... ), then it is better not to leave food and not settle on the first floor. In the bungalows, animals were sometimes seen, but for that, very spacious rooms.
3. The food is very, very spicy, but after a couple of days it will become clear that you can eat, everything was enough for everyone. Very tasty desserts. And for some reason, there is a problem with salt, you can look for it for a long time... or feed a couple of waiters (1 - 1.5 dinars every other day) and there will be no problems with anything, neither with salt nor with drinks. In the bar you need to do the same (1-2 dinars, 1 dinar ≈.26 rubles) and all drinks are not diluted!! ! During the holidays you can visit two restaurants: Italian and Tunisian. I advise Italian, cooked with a big Tunisian accent, but very tasty! You can eat there all day from 07-00 to 10-00 in the morning for breakfast, from 11-00 to lunch there is a snack bar (pizza, fries, something like pasta (pasta), some kind of buns... ). Lunch from 13-00 to 15-00, then a snack bar and sandwiches by the pool with slides, at 17-00 pancakes, donuts. Dinner from 19-00.
4. Animation is great! I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere else, the guys didn’t let them get bored from morning to evening, they entertained the people, they spoke a little bit in all the languages of the vacationers. In the morning, gymnastics, archery, a couple more games in the backyard behind the bungalows, then water aerobics. After lunch, water polo, volleyball, tennis, step, dancing (they teach different dances). Guys - animators are not intrusive, if you want to play, if you don’t want to sunbathe, swim. In the evening there is a program (show), and not a single repetition for all 15 days! I would also like to say about our Russian animator girl Dashenka - a very wonderful person, and an excellent worker!!!
5. Since the hotel is a family hotel, in the evening after 12 at night everything calms down there, the majority goes to sleep. So either go to the city, or if a company is going to, you can arrange entertainment by the pools or in the lobby, no problem.
6. Market and shops. There is a bazaar in Nabeul, you can get there by taxi (approx. 2 dinars), but there is not much to buy there, especially if you have already been to Egypt. But if you like something, then bargain until the last. And about silver and gold. If you eat for the first time, or do not know anything there, then it is better not to buy. After a couple of days, gold becomes like silver, and silver looks like some kind of metal. But you can take something as jewelry, but just don’t wet it and don’t swim in it!
There is a super market, it is closer to the bazaar, the prices are fixed, there is everything! for children of different ages, soapy-ryl, alcohol, food, fruits,....olive oil, which by the way is worth taking tasty and not expensive! From local drinks, you can drink their booze and gin (local), the taste is not very nasty))), compared to the rest.
7. Excursions. We didn't go anywhere, and then we did it ourselves. We visited Carthage Land - very cool! (we went by taxi ourselves, paid for the entrance - it was cheaper and you don’t have to wait for anyone and walk one after another in single file). They took quadra - also class! We were not a group from the hotel, but bought ourselves, so we liked it - we went “almost” as we wanted, sometimes the instructor cursed))). Friends took a tour of the Sahara, and their opinions were divided: for some it was long and tiring, but at the same time it was beautiful, but for some they liked everything.
Oh yes, the most important thing is the SEA - the sea is beautiful, clean (if not after a storm or rain), there were almost always enough sunbeds, and if not, then you approach the worker on the beach, he brings everything from somewhere. The beach is almost clean, there is a city beach nearby, so there are disadvantages due to the local population. In Nabeul, there are very few hotels with their own beach, so this is a plus for the hotel!
So, well, about leaving. Since our flight was in the evening, and we had to check out before 12 noon, the question arose of extending the room. I was very pleased and surprised that the hotel allocates several rooms on the ground floor for free to store luggage in order to take a shower before leaving and change clothes. One number is really a person for 7-8, but this did not stop us. Everyone agreed among themselves who would go at what time, and the key was handed over through the reception. All things remained intact, by the way, we didn’t take a safe at all during the vacation, everything was in bags, nothing was missing (I don’t know, maybe we were lucky). In general, I liked the hotel, the rest itself even more!!!
People, before you go anywhere, read a little about the country and the mentality of the inhabitants, and then make a decision. If it seems to you that the dishes and bedding with towels are not very clean, then for them for the locals this is beyond all frequencies !!! ! And they try their best. If you asked an employee to bring something, but he didn’t, it’s not because he doesn’t want to do it, he just forgot - and this is normal for them.
Thanks for reading my review. Maybe something from the story will be useful to you. Good luck to all! Have a nice holiday!
