We rested with my wife at the beginning of June this year. In Tunisia for the first time. I’ll try to write only about the important, in my opinion. I can’t write anything bad about the hotel, they put me right away in a good room, the system is all simple like everywhere else, the service is for three stars, for this money, even very much)! The main advantage is that it is the nearest hotel from the medina (historical part of the city) with its own beach! The local population is constantly crowding on the beaches, and believe me, they will make every effort to spoil your vacation)! This is to say that there are hotels closer to the center, but I did not notice them at least as a protected area of ​ ​ the beach! Yes, on different sites there is different information about the sunbeds and umbrellas at the Marabut hotel, and so, they are FREE! your guide of the company that brought you to the hotel. On the beach they offer only all sorts of water sports entertainment. And yet, I am writing for those who are "lucky" to contact the "Oasis - tour", there they have a guide "a good guy and specialist" Hamsa . Firstly, the price includes ALL tickets for ALL objects, museums that you must visit during the tour, however, during the tour you will be informed that some of these museums are closed)))! Naturally, no one will return the money that you gave for the ticket, and Hamsa will say that he did not promise you a visit to this museum at all)))! You may also be forgotten, and the Oasis Tour bus will not pick you up at the hotel, and you will have to, worry, call Hamsa, change plans, all this just happened to us, this is our personal experience)))! he won’t advise, but will philosophically tell you that it’s not your destiny to go there))! But in fact there is an alternative! Between the reception and the bar there is an intermediate room, this is the office of tour companies working with tourists in the Marabut hotel! There are stands with information about the excursions offered by these companies, and there are three, four of them besides the Oasis Tour! , the days of the week when they have these excursions, as well as the time when the guides of these companies are in the office and their names are indicated there! It will not be difficult to buy excursions from them, as we did, deceiving the fate predicted by Hamsa!

When you leave the hotel for a walk and go towards the medina, for some reason, kind "employees" of the Marabut hotel, "cooks", "bartenders", "waiters" and simply "working imperceptibly" in the same hotel where you spend your vacation! They all live or have many friends in the medina and certainly want to accompany you there, and the main thing is to show the shops where everything is very cheap and in general there is a "festival" today and 40% discounts on everything))))! It can be difficult to get rid of them.... but if the hotel bracelet on your hand is covered with something, then these small adventurers already have less with one pretext for getting to know each other))! friends" )! Any East Slavic is an iron wall from uninvited "friends" looking for an opportunity to earn extra money on suckers-tourists))!


Taxis in Tunisia are all state-owned, convenient, cheap, if you know how much it REALLY costs to travel anywhere))! So from the Marabut hotel to the medina, it's about 2 dinars !! ! This is if for garlic, but they will tell you 20)))! Give 4, pat on the shoulder, and hint that the meter does not work for him, you know that the fare costs 2 dinars, well, that there is a police (this is if the taxi driver is strong bully), the incident will be exhausted! And yet, do not rush to dive into a taxi that is standing near the hotel or stopped in front of you, experience has shown that an adequate fare will be in the car that you yourself stopped on the way!

Forewarned, armed))), I hope that these little tricks will protect you from minor inconveniences during your vacation, help you save some nerves and money, and in the end, HAVE A GREAT VACATION AT THE HOTEL MARABUTE, SOUSSE, TUNISIA !! !
