The most unpleasant thing I encountered in the title. The hotel has central air conditioning, and when we felt that the fan was blowing but not cooling, we thought that either something was turned on wrong, or something was faulty. Reported this to the reception. The manager's answer amazed us: "We are not in the season yet - we will turn on the air conditioner from July 1. " I had to live by making drafts (open doors to the room and to the balcony), and this is the endless incessant noise of the street and curious peeps into the room. Imagine, at 5 am, 2 local playboys entered the room and, seeing their grandfather, asked to smoke, if there were girls in the room, I think the requests would be different. Why do I think so, because these same or other two Tunisians of 30 years old were clamping down, brazenly attacking two Muscovites in the hotel elevator, one of whom was over 60 years old. The operation of the elevators is a special song, be patient, you will have to wait a bit.
They clean the room only for money. Towels are taken to wash every day (even those that were not used), and they bring them at 12 o’clock, and we came from the beach at 11. We had to put a dinar on a towel, then they didn’t take it away. On the last day of eviction at 12, we came from the beach at half past 10 - there were no towels or sheets. This has not happened in any country. And yet, swimming goggles (not cheap) disappeared in the room.
You can take a place on the hotel's beach only if you paid for a beach boy for a "parasol", a deck chair and a mattress ($ 2), while it is not necessary to live in a hotel, but did not pay - your place is near the locals. The sea, of course, is a fairy tale. The water is clear, the sand is white and fine, 50 meters from the shore is shallow. But there is not a single dressing room, toilet, drinking water and a shower for washing. And, unfortunately, the locals have absolutely no concept of cleanliness, after them bottles, boxes and even diapers remain on the sand.

Nutrition. Dinner - 2-3 types of side dishes, chicken, beef, fish, salads, stewed vegetables, kavun or melon. Tolerably, they did not feel hungry. But the breakfast is too monotonous and you have to be very unpretentious about food in order to leave full.
We went on a trip to the Sahara. A lot of impressions, a worthwhile excursion. And yet, if you are not afraid and decide to still go to this hotel, take a photo from the roof of the hotel, preferably at dawn (exit from the 9th floor)
