Hotel ratings by criteria:
the hotel more than justifies its three stars, in Turkey, Egypt, and even more so in Europe, you will not find such fat three stars. food was given three times a day, the food was fresh, there was enough for everyone, and trays were constantly brought with food. the waiters removed the dirty plates from the tables, not only on time, but simply instantly. plus, even for the most insatiable, there was top dressing during the day near the pool (pizza, spaghetti, pancakes, etc. ) the hotel area is small, there is no greenery at all. in the pools all day long someone flounders, not crowded. for all 8 days we didn’t swim in the pool even once, we didn’t even want to, it smells strongly of bleach. we went to the beach all the time, the beach is paid, the "beach managers" will not let you lie on your towel, 3 dinars per sunbed and umbrella per person (1 dinar is approximately equal to 1 dollar). you don’t get bored on the beach either, you constantly have to fight off impudent Arabs: buy either CDs with music, then juices, water, then scarves for your head... they don’t understand the word NO, I have never met such an impudent population. the room was cleaned every day, the towels were clean every day, the bedding was changed once in 8 days. the animators in the hotel are also not averse to cheating you, inviting you to free discos (almost all disco in Tunisia are free, only drinks are expensive there) go with you, and then "unobtrusively" ask you to buy them beer or something else (Muslims don't drink alcohol at all, in shops, non-alcoholic beer, but on Sousse Street you will be offered hashish and all sorts of filth (((
on an express tour, we bought an excursion to Carthage (includes Carthage, the capital of Tunisia, a mosaic museum, and the picturesque town of Sidi Bou Said), a decent excursion, for one day, but who was in Turkey in Ephesus, ancient Roman Carthage is not impressive.
We also took a trip to the laser show, this is an evening walk with dinner and an open-air laser show. The show shows the history of Tunisia. The show is just great! music, lighting, special effects. but until the show itself, you have to endure a lot))) Arabs dressed as Berbers will walk around you, show their life in impromptu tents, their customs and all sorts of nonsense, while begging for money to take a picture with them.

In general, this hotel is located almost in the center of Sousse, the city is old, historical, women walk in headscarves, swim in the sea dressed, I, as a girl, was always uncomfortable under the withering glances of Arab men, they love Russian girls very much, grab by the hand, even though you you don’t even look at them, and if you look... then they immediately invite you to drink Arabic coffee in the evening, my husband, of course, was my cover)))
if someone wants to go to Tunisia, specifically to Sousse, I advise you to settle in the resort area near the port of El Kantao.
Well, that's all, we spent a good time there, but we won't go to Tunisia anymore...
