I will try to give practical information to those who choose the Hill Diar hotel.
It lives up to its 3 stars for service and the location is very good. I needed a good sea for swimming, a place on the beach in the shade under an umbrella, a common beach for walking, a quiet room with a sea view, an all-inclusive system, but not overpaying for an abundance of food.
I received all this.
The hotel is located in the depths of the park on the seafront between the Medina (the old city) and the elite suburb of Port El Kantaoui.
The sandy beach is quite large and clean, every morning it is cleaned from algae and large debris. The sea is clean, there are a lot of places for swimming, the entrance to the sea is gentle. After September 15, the season ends, it is warm only during the day, and even then near the pool, there is a strong cold wind on the beach. In the period from 2 to 15 it was good, not hot and not cold, the sea is warm.

You need to bring your own beach towels. Sunbeds and mattresses for vacationers on the "all inclusive" system - free of charge, for the rest - 2 dinars. Since the beaches in Tunisia, as in Italy, for example, are municipal, the sunbeds and mattresses in the evening (at 17 o'clock) are removed from the beach behind the fence. In the morning, I still gave 1 dinar (that's 23 rubles) to a worker on the beach to take a sunbed and a mattress under the umbrella, it's hard to drag it myself.
I agree that it’s hot in the dining room (I won’t call it a restaurant), cats, “clean” dishes are greasy to the touch, tablecloths of dubious cleanliness, this is unpleasant. But not fatally, no one has ever fallen ill, not poisoned, there is not even a rumor.
There is enough food, I advise you to slowly choose a tasty one, there is always chicken, turkey, fish, meat, hot vegetables for lunch and dinner. If something is over, they will bring more. I never took pasta and casserole from them. I didn’t eat salads, especially mixtures of vegetables and sausages, vegetables and pasta. Of the fruits, I liked only grapes, there were also melons and pears - inedible.
In the room: the towels were often washed out, gray, this is also a very big minus! I immediately threw them on the floor (after all, there was something to choose from 5 pieces). Bed linen was ok. You need to tip - it will be better.
The climate is humid, swimsuits do not dry out. I recommend getting at least two.
There is a slight unpleasant smell in the cabinets, also due to the humid climate.
There are no complaints about the staff, I found a common language with everyone, I speak a little English. True, the attitude towards tourists is familiar.
Two excursions: Sahara and Carthage-Tunisia - liked it. I especially recommend the guide Zuhaer, you can Zakhar in Russian. He speaks good Russian, it is interesting, with a soul, he conducts a tour with great dedication, helps in everything, takes a photo.
I heard this from other tourists already on the plane, he is a real celebrity in Sousse.
In addition, take a taxi, try delicious ice cream (there is a gelateria near the hotel), coffee, tea, fruits, buy souvenirs - everything is quite affordable, inexpensive. For calculations you need to have dinars. When you change dollars or euros at the hotel, ask for smaller ones, one dinar each.
Next to the hotel is the best disco in Bora Bora.
I would be glad if this information is useful. Rest depends on your mood!
