Просто отлично!!! Just great!!!

The hotel is excellent. Choose it if the choice is between Salem and Royal Salem, because. they have one single common territory, all services (except for lunch, breakfast, dinner - this is in the restaurants of their hotels) are common, i. e. by paying less when buying a tour to Salem, you will get comfort for all 4 plus. Rooms in Royal and Salem are the same. The piano differs only in a beautiful chic hall and that's it.
The first thing you need to know and take with you: beach towels, hair dryer (they are not provided in the hotel). Safe only at the reception for a fee. Those are the negatives, everything else is positive....
Food, like everywhere else (Turkey, Egypt), is the same every day, only meat dishes differ, and side dishes, salads are the same. There are many fruits: watermelons and melons every day, oranges, peaches, grapes, pears, plums alternate. Natural sweets, ice cream for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is good - delicious pancakes and donuts, as well as everywhere else. If you want variety - take HB and dine in cafes...

The territory is large and green - there is a lot of greenery, a huge beautiful garden. You go to the beach through the garden along the shade. The beach is actually 100 meters away. There are 4 pools on the territory, one of them is large with slides with sea salt water, BUT it is also chlorinated, so do not get carried away. The beach is large, cool, white sand, drowning. Sea with algae, but personally they did not interfere with me, the beach itself was cleaned of algae, unlike the neighboring beach of the Jeanine hotel.
Neither pluses nor minuses, but just information - a very strange system of mattresses, they are not constantly on sunbeds, they are taken away in the evening (in my opinion, absolutely unnecessary work), and if you lie on a sunbed, you will not be touched, but if there is only a towel, but you are not there - the mattress will be taken away. This event begins at about 4 pm, it is almost impossible to deal with this (there is such an order in the hotel). These activities are both on the beach and around the pools.
In the bar you can take no more than 4 alcoholic drinks per room, the next approach is not earlier than in 5 minutes. Drinks are also ordinary - local production. What else - the animation is not very good, not in Russian. If a guide on the way from the airport to the hotel will scare you (like us) that no one knows Russian in Tunisia - do not believe it: at the Salem hotel at the reception there is an Arab who knows Russian perfectly (he studied in St. Petersburg), staff, merchants in shops in Porto el Kantaoui, in the Medina of Sousse, in Tunisia, Kafagen, Sidi Bou Said, etc. everyone will understand you and even explain something in Russian. So don't be afraid.
Yes, there are a lot of foreigners in the hotel itself. We rested from 08/12/10 to 08/26/10 - Russian speech sounded extremely rare, but by the end of the rest, OUR RUSSIA flooded... this circumstance was a little upset, because. the soul longed for fellowship.
We rested with a child of 5.5 years. We all liked it. Children for entertainment - water slides, children's playground, children's animation.
The hotel and the country of Tunisia itself made us very happy. During the rest (14 days) I did not want to go home.
Have a good rest everyone.
