We rested in this hotel from 9.09. 10 to 16.09. 10. The three of us rested, my husband and I had a double, and my sister had a single, and both rooms were given without any surcharges and nearby (as they like it in Turkey and Egypt). Very clean rooms, towels were changed constantly, but bed linen only once (but it didn't get dirty very much). The food at the hotel is very monotonous, but quite tasty, I especially liked coffee (they make excellent) and cheese for breakfast. As for dinner, here the food was more varied, there was meat, chicken, fish, several side dishes, very tasty cakes. In general, you definitely won’t die of hunger (I personally gained 4 kg, although I didn’t overeat much). But you should go to Tunisia to see this simply unrealistically beautiful sea !! ! And white sand! It's just mesmerizing. I have been to many places, but I have never seen such a sea, it is really very beautiful!! ! Each room has a sea view, just awesome!! ! The disadvantage of the hotel is the lack of animation (although it is stated) and discos, it’s boring if you don’t entertain yourself, which we did. In the city center there is a local market - Medina, many purchases were made there, but you need to bargain to the last, the original price is overpriced by 5-10 times!! ! You can get there by wagons, it's cool, they stop on the road, you just need to raise your hand (like we have a taxi). There are also taxis, inexpensive, as soon as it starts, the driver turns on the meter and you pay at the end of the trip according to the meter. On average, about 2-3 dinars come out in the city (the exchange rate is 1 dinar = 22 rubles), that is, it comes out inexpensively. It is interesting to go to Port El Kantau, also by taxi (about 6-7 dinars), drive for 10 minutes (to the left of the hotel, in the opposite direction from the Medina). There are various attractions, musical fountains, very beautiful with illumination. Restaurants nearby are expensive, it's better to eat at the hotel. And for lunch we took coffee at the bar by the pool. There are several discos that are not bad, they were in Bora-Bora (in the open air and next to the hotel, I personally liked it the most, but it is the most expensive, for example, a hookah costs 30 dinars there !!! ! Like in Moscow !! ! And beer 7 dinar, although the hotel is 2.5). So you need to initially drink in the room or, as we did, near the pool (liquor was bought in Duty Free, alcohol is sold only in the General store, nowhere else, except for cafes and restaurants), and then hang out !! ! Not bad in Samare, great music, cheap prices, but little space inside. Entrance to all discos is free. There are a lot of Europeans, so it's not scary for girls at all (I mean single ones). What I didn’t like was some incomprehensible exclamations and gestures of local teenagers of 16-18 years old, who are found on the sidewalks both during the day and in the evening, not very pleasant. But if you do not pay attention to them, they fall behind quickly. There are a lot of police, so there is order in the city. There are few Russians, mostly Germans, Poles. But we took a last-minute tour with a departure every other day, so it cost us a budget. We went on an excursion to Carthage-Tunisia, expected more, but there are just ruins. Although, for the general development you can go. So, let me summarize. The resort is not cheap, but you need to go there to enjoy the sea and sand. I don’t really advise single girls, it’s still better to go with a man. The hotel is excellent, pulls on 4 stars!!! !
