Good afternoon to everyone who reads the review.
My wife and I were in Tunisia for the first time, we chose a hotel for a long time, the financial factor and, of course, the beach / sea were the reference points. The choice fell on the El Mouradi chain and their Port El Kantaoui hotel.
The main plus of the hotel is the quality of the sea and the beach. The two neighboring beaches (left and right) were not cleaned in the mornings, in terms of sand was not cleared of tidal algae or other debris. BUT, in this hotel it's the other way around. Every morning, hard workers cleaned the beach and, when necessary, and the water (they pulled out algae, bottles and plastic). The quality of the beach and the sea is 9/10. Minus the ball - because of the jellyfish, they sting very painfully, merciless. Everything depends on the season. In August they are!

On the positive side, I want to note that during the whole trip my wife and I did not get food poisoning. Was the food okay, tasty? - no, almost everything is tasteless (not enough salt, spices, etc. ), but one of the ten dishes for breakfast / lunch / dinner will be successful. There is little variety - lamb, veal.
There are no normal salads at all, the usual grated beets, cabbage and very, very spicy salads (green peppers are still FIRE! ). In general, there is nothing cool about salads. They took tomatoes, well, beets : -)
Plus, in desserts, I'm not a sweet tooth, but my wife checked it out... ! Delicious sweets, more oily compared to Egypt and Turkey.

The hotel area is large and clean. A lot of greenery, there is where to take pictures. There are two pools, there were always a lot of people there (apparently they ran away from the jellyfish). The pool is warm and chlorinated.

Free Wi-Fi in the lobby and reception area. So, whoever did not take a local SIM card can always use it.

Room (Standard Sea View), since we went on vacation to the sea and white sand, we didn’t spend much time on the room. The main plus - everything worked. The decoration of the room is a little old, it looks old. But again, the main thing is working. Shower, toilet clean, serviceable - EXCELLENT! The telly shows 1 Russian channel - so forget about the telly.
Conder worked - you can kill yourself in the room without it! Cleaning room according to the plate. Karoch, the number is like a number, nothing unusual. If you need the comfort of a room, then you are not here, or take Superior.

The staff are all friendly and happy to help. The main thing is not to get impudent, of course.

Overall impressions of the hotel are good. Price quality. Many of ours talked about their hotels, and so some fives were clearly behind this four.
P. S. There are many Russians, especially large family "groups". There is one body in front of you in line, 1 minute passes and instead of one there are already 20 bodies. Well, it's clear that where there are such Russians, there is noise / mats.

Now about the tour operator, we had Pegas Touristik and the hotel guide Balabek. In general, be careful with this guide, he f*cks visitors at the dollar to dinar exchange rate. Asks to pay him for dollars.

If he hears that you are going to change dollars for dinars in the hotel exchange office (where everything is official, receipts are issued), immediately the price is cheaper for you - DON'T BE BELIEVED! Change to dinars and pay with them, not dollars. The story is simply funny, immediately upon arrival, they haven’t yet learned the course, he offers excursions to everyone, well, if you pay right away, then there is a discount. Without having time to exchange everything for dinars, they pay in dollars, and he voices the rate less, so you lose money. Clearly no one gives receipts.
THEREFORE, Pegasus is a HUGE minus for such an attitude and employees that they keep at home. In general, the flight was normal, there was Azur Air Ukraine (it’s strange why, it’s Anex), there were no transfers of flights.
