Tunisia

Tunisia is Africa in French. Here white sandy beaches, healing thalassotherapy, the ruins of Carthage. Tourists will be offered the best hotels from the Sahara and to Hammamet, here you will always be accompanied by good weather and great mood. Of course, we can not say that this country literally tears the stars from the tourist sky, but its annual share of tourists it still gets stable. Tunisia could easily become an ordinary and inconspicuous in the general mass resort area with a very good sea coast without special underwater beauties, so to speak, middle class with not very modern hotels. However, there is one thing that distinguishes it from the general mass - it is thalassotherapy.

Problems of tourist Tunisia

The country's leaders have successfully borrowed this technology from their former colonialists, but so far they have not bothered to bring their hotel fund to the world level. So it goes: Thalasso in Tunisia at a high level, at very attractive prices, and hotels, alas, are mostly old, with small areas and a few. The fact that here they offer the same services to vacationers as in Europe, but at much lower prices, attracts many fans of blooming and wrapping. If Tunisia could improve its hotel infrastructure, then business with tourism would be even better.

Nabeul

This beautiful seaside resort used to be called Neapolis. Here the sandy beaches are replaced by picturesque grottoes, in which a large number of crustaceans are found, and on the top of Cape Bon you can see the small fishing village of El Havaria, which has not changed at all since the heyday of Carthage. Modern Nabeul is the center of the pottery production of the state of Tunisia. Which is symbolized by a very large clay pitcher, which is installed in front of the railway station. Numerous souvenir shops are littered with ceramic vases, dishes, jugs, pots, some incomprehensible vessels. True, all these products are made from imported raw materials - kaolin clay from Krumiriya. The Nabean masters cover the products with a beautiful blue glaze.

Two resorts

Hammamet and Nabeul are the oldest resorts of Tunisia. The construction of hotel infrastructure in this country began in the late fifties of the last century. The very first hotel of Nabeul was built in 56-th year, it was called "Neapolis" (modern name - "Aquarius"). Today, two resorts - Nabeul and Hammamet - joined thanks to the hotel complexes. This region has the largest hotel fund in the country. Hence Tunisia receives a third of all income from the tourism business. The Riadh Club 3 * is also located here. Let's consider, than this hotel is interesting.

Riadh Club 3 * (Hammamet)

This hotel is a three-star hotel. Riadh Club 3 * (reviews of Russian tourists who visited it, confirm this) deserves them for one hundred percent. It is located directly on the beach, so those wishing to take sea baths will not have to travel long to the beach. Near the hotel complex there are absolutely no usual shopping benches, cafes, shops, fruit tents and so on. If you miss these elements of civilization, you can get by taxi to the city center (the trip will take only five minutes) or walk - 15-20 minutes, but in the heat such a walk will be somewhat tedious.

According to the advertisement, the Riadh Club 3 * (Nabeul) operates an all-inclusive system, which is popular with Russian tourists, that is, breakfast, afternoon snack, lunch and dinner, sweets, national snacks, coffee / tea, barbecue, pastries, fruit at the pool - all This is included in the room rate and no extra charge is charged for this. In addition, this includes dining in restaurants A la carte (though, by appointment), non-alcoholic and alcoholic snacks imported and locally produced, nightly snacks. But premium drinks - wines, cognacs, whiskey - all this for an additional fee.

Entourage

Many tourists who are looking at promotional brochures sometimes get bewildered: why does the Riadh Club Hotel 3 * have only three stars? According to the photographs, here if not five, then four are true. However, after coming here, everything immediately falls into place. It's all about the ability to present oneself from the best side and keep silent about the shortcomings. The rooms at the Riadh Club 3 * are very modest. According to the manager of the hotel, repairs here are held annually, but not capital, but cosmetic. The hotel consists of two parts: an old one, built in the last century; And a new one erected a few years ago. Most of the rooms have a sea view, so you can see off the sunset, sitting on a wide terrace or balcony with a glass of wine. The furniture in the rooms is modest, far from new: a bed, a mirror, bedside tables, a table, a built-in wardrobe and a chest of drawers. But everything is done tastefully, in the apartments clean and tidy.

Service

Cleaning in the Riadh Club 3 * and a change of towels are held daily. On the bedside tables there are always fresh bouquets of flowers. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are buffet style. If to compare with five-star hotels in Turkey, then everything is rather modest, and if with three-star hotels in India, then Tunisia (Riadh Club 3 *) is favorably different from the country of yogis.

For breakfast, fried eggs, pancakes, rolls, croissants, salads, cereals, jams, tea, coffee, juices, water, cocoa. There is no fruit in the morning. But lunches and dinners, like for a three-star hotel, are simply superb. There are always shrimp, fish and meat (chicken, beef). You can choose seafood, which is fried with vegetables right before your eyes. The garnish always has spaghetti, rice, vegetables (fresh, steamed and fried), potatoes. A lot of different fruits, including melons and watermelons. But drinks for dinner for some reason are served for a fee, even for simple water and phantom / cola, not to mention wine, they charge money. True, prices are much lower than store prices.

Animation

Here guys anneal! Speeches are sincere, interesting, never repeated. Animation begins at ten in the morning with morning exercises, and ends with an evening disco. Holidaymakers are offered free tennis courts with all accessories. If necessary, the coach will work with you, he will give you some lessons for beginners. In addition, there are tables for ping-pong, archery fields. There are sections of Oriental dance, aerobics, Arabic, water polo and others. For those wishing to spend time at sea, a number of free sports are offered. But everywhere, where there is motorized equipment (boats, water motorcycles , etc.), the fee is charged. From eleven o'clock in the morning the head of the animation team rolls all comers on a sailing boat along the coast. This is especially liked by children, although many adults also do not deny themselves such pleasure.

For the children there is a trampoline, swings, slides and so on. Evening animation program is designed more for the European public and local Arabs. They also try to translate into Russian, but not everything is set up yet, it is explained by the fact that this hotel is open for Russian tourists only recently, probably, they did not have time to prepare everything. The program includes scenes performed by the animation team, cabaret, parodies, competitions, fire-shows, dances and other. In the evening, the game "Bingo", however, it is not in great demand among our tourists. For everyone who wants to work here hookah, where you can smoke or just drink a cup of mint tea.

Riadh Club 3 * (Tunisia): reviews

This hotel is a state sanatorium, for this reason there are many Tunisian tourists, including local athletes (football players, basketball players and others). It seems that I got into the pioneer camp, and not at the hotel Riadh Club 3 * (Hammamet). Reviews of Russian tourists are reduced to the fact that the hotel staff does not communicate well in Russian, the main one is French and English. But, as already mentioned above, the hotel was recently opened for our compatriots, so the language barrier will soon cease to be so. And our tourists contribute to this. So, local animators are already free to use a number of Russian words and expressions, including jargon. In addition, in the animation programs are constantly invited Russian girls from among tourists who act as interpreters.

Advantages and disadvantages

As a positive side of this establishment it is worth noting a strong animation team, free Wi-Fi, a clean multi-level pool equipped with free sunbeds (it is very convenient for people with disabilities) and satisfying dinners. From the shortcomings: the room does not have a mini-bar, beach towels, beach loungers are paid.

Rest outside the hotel

From Nabeul, there are regular two-day excursions to the Sahara desert. The cost of this tour is $ 150 per person. On a trip you will visit the Roman Colosseum, which is located in the city of El Jem. In addition, you will visit the ancient mysterious city of Matmata, where the Berber tribe of cavemen lives, or, as they are also called, troglodytes. By the way, today they prefer to live in caves. Also, the trip involves a visit to the place where some episodes of George W. Lucas's Star Wars were filmed, the scenery for this film is still in use today. You will visit the "Gateway of the Desert" - this is the city of Douz. Here you can ride a camel, seeing off the sunset, experience the Tunisian version of the "roller coaster" (in jeeps on the barkhans of the Sahara). You will visit the city of Shebek, where the shooting of films "Officers-2" and "Kandahar" took place. The disadvantage of this excursion is the unbearable heat that covers the whole of Tunisia. Riadh Club 3 * with its air conditioners will seem to you later a paradise.

We go to Nabeul

In order not to sit constantly in the hotel, you can make outings to the city center. There are many shops, supermarkets, souvenir shops, cafes, pizzerias and other amenities of civilization. Many tourists from Russia in Nabeul buy large quantities of olive oil, the price of which, compared to our stores, is simply ridiculous. There is a big bazaar in the old town where you can buy everything that tourists usually buy: souvenirs, clay and leather products, spices and so on. As in the eastern markets, you just need to bargain - the price can be knocked down three or even five times. Smokers should be aware that the price of tobacco products in Tunisia is very high, so it is better to store cigarettes in Russia. Currency can be exchanged both in the hotel and in the city, the course is the same everywhere. Lovers of architecture will be able to visit old mosques and amphitheatres. A vacation in Tunisia will be unforgettable for you!
