Great stay at Hawaii beach club Tunis, Hammamed.
Upon arrival at Enfida airport, we were met by representatives of the Coral Travel tour operator, politely seated all tourists according to the lists on buses and we were taken to the hotels.
The weather greeted us a little cloudy and windy, but the tourists were not particularly upset. The trip from the airport to the hotel, with stops at passing hotels, took about 1 hour. A small minus for the accompanying guide - she spoke in Russian for a C grade, throughout the whole journey she mentioned only a couple of phrases about the host country.
About the Hawai Beach Club Hotel :
The hotel is located on the first coastline - it's super, especially for a 3* hotel!!! I will explain why I focus on this: on the way to our hotel, we dropped off tourists who arrived at 5* hotels and to my surprise, many hotels of this rank were located on the second coastline (to get to the sea, tourists have to cross 2 roads).
We were greeted at the reception by friendly staff, two of them speak Russian very well. We filled out registration cards, provided passports and vouchers, within 10 minutes we were given bracelets and offered to go to dinner. At the time of our arrival, there were not very many tourists in the hotel, so there were a lot of empty seats in the restaurant.
After dinner, we were given room keys (we had a room with a sea view) and escorted with our luggage to it.
The room stock (of course, a little "tired", although they obviously did cosmetics):
We were settled in a spacious room with 2 beds (one large 2-bedroom, the other is a bunk bed), also in the room there are 2 bedside tables, a table, a TV, a mirror, a built-in wardrobe in the hallway. There is no ceiling lighting in the rooms, only wall lamps. There are no refrigerators in the rooms, but you can arrange for a fee. Bathroom: sink, mirror, toilet, wall-mounted shower without trough and curtain, we did not have a hair dryer in our room, some rooms have a full bath and a hairdryer. Air conditioners are turned on only in the hot season from July. Well, of course, how not to voice the problems that we faced when checking into the room: this is a current toilet bowl, oxidized chrome elements in the bathroom, the balcony door lock was broken. Please note, we came to the hotel to relax, and not to find fault with the little things. But we must pay tribute, after contacting the reception with these problems, everything was fixed within an hour (although after a while the toilet began to dig up again, but we no longer paid attention to it). The hotel rooms are located on the right and left along long corridors.
The result of the number of rooms: if you do not find fault, then it is completely good, do not forget that you are in a 3* hotel.
The territory of Hawai Beach Club is large and green. There is a place to take pictures and just take a walk. The hotel has a shop with souvenirs and beach goods (the price tags are more expensive than in the city). When leaving the hotel, there are no shops and shops nearby, or you need to take a taxi to the Medina, or if you want to save money, you can walk to the supermarket in 15 minutes - it's even cheaper there than in the city. There are 4 pools on the territory: 1 indoor, 1 in the relaxation area, 1 large with slides, 1 for children. When the hotel is full, it is better to take sun beds on the pool in the morning. There are also tennis courts, a basketball court, a Bocce court, an archery court, a darts court, 2 volleyball courts on the beach, a small theater and a large amphitheater.
For children:
The hotel has a Mini club (for children from 4 to 12 years old), it employs children's animators from Coral Travel. A special program is offered for children (drawing, history lessons, English lessons, outdoor games, sports competitions, modeling lessons, crafts, various constructors, cartoons and much more), a mini disco is held in the evening. The animators are polite, friendly, funny - the kids love them. When the vacation ends, all the kids cling to the animators and do not want to let them go with tears.
The beach IS COOL!!!!:
A large and clean beach, the sand is white, the entrance to the sea is excellent, in good weather the water in the sea is perfectly clean and transparent. Sun beds and mattresses are free of charge. Beach towels are provided at the reception with a $10 deposit. There is a wooden deck from the pool area to the beach for the convenience of tourists (everyone leaves their flip-flops on it). The expanse for bathing children. The kids ran along the beach chasing fish, catching small crabs, even found a stingray on the beach (photo attached).
Food:
In the main building there is a restaurant + a summer veranda, a children's corner with a special menu. The food in the restaurant is excellent, several types of meat, 2 types of fish, different types of pasta, potatoes in foil, fried lump potatoes, mashed potatoes, stewed vegetables, boiled eggs, fried eggs, barbecue meat, sausages, nuggets, vegetables in batter, omelette, a bunch of different salads and dressings, oranges were given from fruits (when there were few tourists, they laid out whole ones, as soon as the hotel was full they began to cut into slices), apricots, nectarines (but they were not quite ripe yet), sweets piled up for every taste, pancakes, donuts in the morning. If you want to taste the entire range of the restaurant, it is better to come to the opening. Bars: 2 at the reception, 1 at the pool and 2 on the beach. A late lunch is served at 15:00 on the pool, and pizza is baked at 16:00. Drinks: tea, coffee from the machine, fanta, sprite, cola. From alcohol (local bottling): beer, wine - sour (white, red, pink), I heard from strong drinks that there is whiskey, gin, vodka and something else, but the tourists said that everything is "bad".
Animation:
There are 15-20 animators, in the afternoon tourists gather for morning and water gymnastics, a game of bocce, darts, archery, volleyball, Latin dancing, etc., in the evening after dinner they arrange show programs in the amphitheater. In my opinion, the animation is unobtrusive, there is just something to compare it with.
Maybe I forgot to write something, but not the point.
Internet:
The only place where you can catch the Internet is the reception, during peak tourist congestion in the lobby WiFi can not cope.
The overall result: In May, the weather let us down, there were rains for several days, strong winds and a storm at sea - but this is May, you can't go anywhere. The wish is to increase the assortment of fruits. And everything else is great!!!!. We were satisfied with the hotel, the infrastructure and the attitude of the staff. I recommend it for holidays with children.
3 star hotel,huge territory, located on the 1st line,excellent animation:in the morning, exercise, aerobics, yoga, in the evening children's, then adult, a large group of animators, show comics, skits, snakes and attract with national dances, very energizing, and of course a disco until 24.00.The food is normal, as standard as in all 3-4.Responsive staff.The rest was a success, I want to come back here again.
The ugliness in the restaurant, the lack of all the dishes, the buffet was not updated until huge queues accumulated. There was also an influx of locals, terrible dirt after them - near the pool, in the restaurant. They didn't get dirty enough, but they were also arrogant. Outsiders park cars on the territory and families go to the paid bar at the hotel. Dead numbers. And so - a clean large area, a clean well-groomed beach, three large swimming pools. Good animation. Everything is relative.
