First time in Tunisia. Rested from 17.08 to 31.08. The climate is good, the weather is great.
About the city of Nabeul. The city is loudly said, the village... Around the hotel all the time there are carts with horses, a local exotic taxi. Therefore, the constant terrible smell of manure. The "taxi drivers" themselves are very annoying people, they can follow you for 200 meters, offering their services. August is their holiday month, so cafes and almost all shops do not work throughout the day, and in the evening everything is packed with locals, so there is nowhere to go, nowhere to walk, and in principle there is nothing to do in the city itself. The advantage is that here the most convenient, inexpensive and common transport is a taxi.
Hotel. The hotel area is quite large. It is located on the seashore, there is just a village around the hotel, so you don’t see anyone except tourists from your hotel and local residents.

We arrived in the evening, settled very quickly, met immediately with local drinks. We were given a room on the 3rd floor with a sea view, very good location and the view from the balcony is beautiful. But it’s almost impossible to sleep at night, due to the holiday, in the evening after 9 all the locals go to the embankment, and they start a local disco, barbecue, swimming in the whole village, accompanied by enthusiastic screams, in general, a very fun life that lasts until 5 am .
Number. The room has everything you need for life, serviceable plumbing, TV with a Russian channel, air conditioning. We rested for 2 weeks, and for the entire period we were given 2 bars of soap and 1 bottle of shampoo 50 ml and the same amount of shower gel. Good thing we had everything with us.
The room is cleaned every day, almost all towels are changed every day, which cannot be said about bed linen... They themselves approached the cleaning lady and asked to change. Linens are not perfect, but they are clean. If you give a tip, it will also decorate the room with flowers, though then you have to drive the ants out of the bed from these flowers.
Restaurant. The hotel has 3 restaurants - main, Italian and Tunisian. The last 2 can be visited 1 time by appointment. And the main restaurant is just fantastic!! ! There they will feed you with such food, which they will not even feed the cattle in our country, they will be afraid to poison it! Vegetables and salads begin to smell sour already at 7 am (from breakfast), they stand throughout the day and by the evening the sour smell becomes creepy and rotten is added. Every day, at least someone, but always suffered from stomach and intestinal disorders. Hot every day is the same. Terribly tasteless, there is practically nothing to eat. Breakfasts are even more or less, there is even a small choice, but for lunch and dinner, sometimes you just didn’t want to eat anything at all, it’s better to stay hungry. Of the fruits, watermelon was the most rejoiced, but it was rare. Most of all, I was struck by large vases with rotten peaches, which you break open, and worms crawl out of them.
It is impossible to drink water from a local bar, the terrible smell of bleach, so we bought water at a local supermarket. From soft drinks, juices "a la invite plus" from the 90s, which are bred here in an incomprehensible way, either like water or very concentrated.

Beach. You can say there is no separate beach, the locals swim wherever they want, take hotel boats to ride, but the guards, in principle, don’t care. Fish are caught all day and everywhere, so it is very easy to get hooked. Horses are bathed here, residents of the city wash and wash themselves. The beach is very, very dirty, in principle, like the whole country. At 6 pm, all the sunbeds are rolled up, the tourists are rounded up. Their work day is over.
Entertainment. The hotel has 2 large pools, the pools are clean, large, they always have enough sunbeds. Archery. It didn’t work out, because they always lacked some spare parts. Mini golf. I would say micro golf. And among the garbage on the golf course it was very difficult to find the ball. Very dirty. The football field is also for mini-football, its surface is sand mixed with tree branches and dry grass, into which you fall through up to your ankles.
Animation. At the very beginning, it’s very interesting, the guys are trying, entertaining, fun for both children and adults. But after 4 days it gets boring, the same thing every day. Nothing changes, neither the people, nor the movements, nor the words, even the order of the songs is the same.
Excursions. There is something to see, interesting, but divorce. You pay a lot of money for the excursion itself, and even there you have to pay extra for individual electives.
P. S. Oh, and if you go there be careful, nice-looking cleaners steal things they like!!!!! ! (especially phones)
