Club Novostar Dar Khayam (Tunisia / Hammamet): check-in and check-out

Tunisia is an amazing country in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast. Millions of travelers travel to Tunisia, attracted by the opportunities for a variety of recreation. This earthly corner absolutely confirms all archaic ideas about the classical resort: kilometers of fantastic flat beaches with white and golden fine sand, picturesque landscapes of the vast Sahara, warm dry climate, rich cultural heritage with a touch of French colonial traditions, many unique sights, thalassotherapy centers, spicy Kitchen, a unique combination of the eastern color of Gallic culture.

Tunisia is very difficult to call a dynamic or fast-growing resort, it's generally difficult to suspect of any growth! But he does not become less attractive from this and annually receives his impressive portion of international tourists stably.

Visa to Tunisia

A Russian traveler for a trip to Tunisia does not need to go through the hellish procedure for pre-processing visas. The lack of the need to plan the holiday all the time in advance and leave the necessary period for paperwork before the expected date of departure gives tourists an additional opportunity to save their most valuable resources - time.

Many will say that many popular among Russian tourists countries also have a simplified visa regime. Yes, but when you arrive in Turkey, Sri Lanka, Bali or Maldives, and until recently and in Egypt, you still need to pay for a visa stamp at the airport from $ 15 to $ 35, while Tunisia of all Russian and Ukrainian guests Accepts for free.

Thalassotherapy in Tunisia

If you look carefully, then a classic beach holiday in Tunisia can hardly "wipe your nose" to such a popular Egypt and Turkey. Yes, there are excellent beaches, satisfactory hotels, animation. However, in Tunisia there is one chip, which especially attracts tourists, or rather tourists - thalassotherapy. This is a special technique for treating various diseases based on marine mud. Thalassotherapy programs are great. Basically, lovely ladies go through the thalasso courses not to solve serious health problems, but to improve the appearance, drive away the ill-fated cellulite and eliminate other cosmetic defects.

Hotels in Tunisia

The Tunisia does not aspire to get a palm in the category "Best hotel sector". Really first-class, high-level hotels in Tunisia, the cat wept. Official stellar categorization sometimes contradicts the generally accepted standards and even the laws of logic. It may well be that the hotel category 5 * will yield in all respects to the average European three. While a three-star hotel can be quite a decent place. So when choosing a holiday destination in Tunisia, special attention should be paid to the feedback of previous visitors. Today we will talk just about a hotel like Club Novostar Dar Khayam. Reviews of tourists about it are extremely positive, but official accreditation awarded him modest 3 *.

Food in Dar Khayam NovostarClub 3 * (Hammamet)

The hotel, no doubt, is keeping pace with the cult of modern holiday gluttony under the auspices of the all-inclusive system. This concept would not win recognition in many resorts, if it were not so ingenious. Even if at the end of the holiday, tourists start to hate "all inclusive" quietly, all the same next year they again go to the hotel, working on this system.

At a time when the hotel has less than 20 small tourists, children's meals are presented on the general Swedish line.

In restaurants "à la carte" the admission is free 2 times a week. Preliminary recording is required. One restaurant prepares classic dishes of Italian cuisine, in another one can taste spicy masterpieces of national Tunisian cooking.
