We were in 2019 from April 25th for a week. Well, what can I say.. It was Paradise)) They settled in quickly. The room is ordinary, standard, nothing like that)) But the atmosphere.. This is something! The staff treated us like we were their friends, if not relatives) Great cuisine! Very diverse. There was plenty of meat. The freshest vegetables and fruits. Dates, which you won't find here) Tunisian wines were appreciated, after all, the French tried to raise winemaking to the proper level. ) There is a shop on site - brushes, pastes, shampoos, caps, T-shirts, etc. The animation is amazing. In the evenings there is a live performance of evenings near Moscow and.. Murki on the piano)) Very colorful! The sea was still cool and cheerful)) but the five-minute swims were successful) The temperature in the afternoon is 25-27. Taxis are regularly on duty near the hotel. For a very reasonable fee, they will take you, and they will wait and conduct an excursion. )) On one of my trips, I was treated to our small Tula gingerbread- in 10 minutes I had instructions on where to get coffee, olive oil, silver jewelry and medicines)) All this is French-English- Russian- gesticulation language😂I do not know English, I have almost forgotten French since school. But it was sincere and fun. The main thing is clear! Ordinary locals try to help in the shops. I stood looking at a jar of cream, everything is in Arabic) but I did not give up)) A girl came up and tried to explain in English.. But seeing my helplessness)) I quickly found it on the phone and showed all the information)) We went for a walk to the Port of el Kantawi, it's beautiful. We went to the market, haggled) we argued) I repeat, without knowledge of the language)) Only positive emotions. And if you choose Egypt or Tunisia, I'm for Tunisia and Royal Kenz)
I liked everything. A very good hotel, it does not pull at 4* it is a solid 5*. The service, room cleaning, the territory, and everything is just super. The hotel administration and the staff, thank you for a good stay.
A MAGICAL VACATION
The hotel is nice, with a large, beautiful territory. We personally have no complaints about the kitchen, everything was in abundance: fruits, meat, fish, sweets. Discrimination on the basis of nationality, which some wrote about in the reviews, we did not feel at all. The staff always helped as much as they could. Downstairs on the ground floor there was a girl on duty, something like a guest administrator (I don't know how her position is called correctly), to whom you can contact for any questions, of course she does not speak perfectly in Russian, but you can understand if you wish. The waiters also paid attention steadily, approached, offered water, wine and other drinks, we in turn tried to leave 1 dinar for tips)
Cleaning is also fine, we cleaned every day, changed towels also stably. The only thing is to be mentally prepared for the settlement of the locals, this is the heat that begins, you will have to stand in queues in the dining room and be ready for the crush and the fact that the food quickly disappears, this is certainly not scary, because they try to fill up the shortages promptly)
In short, in the dining room on the days of the arrival of the locals, there is nowhere to fall)
In the evening there is animation, music, even a fire show.🔥
The beach is clean, the sea is really not always clean, as you get there, sometimes algae swim, even the garbage is sensitive. And you also have to be careful, you can run into small jellyfish, there were more of them by August, they sting a little, we were stung 3 times. One of them was noticeably painful, the brush burned for a day, the next day burns appeared.
On tourist routes, of course, the locals behave very intrusively, sometimes they remind the gypsies, they try to sniff at least something, they almost cram it into their hands.
Overall, the hotel is good, we already miss it😊
A good hotel with a full range of spa, spa and entertainment services. Very tasty, high-quality and varied cuisine. It is suitable for recreation of all categories of tourists. The second line of the beach (5 minutes walk along the green alley), but does not reduce the quality of the hotel. Wi-Fi in the lobby is free in the room for an additional fee.the fee. in the low seasons (spring, autumn), rest is not very expensive. I recommend..
We had a rest in May with friends, the hotel is big, some kind of maze) we were confused initially)The rooms are spacious and clean!the food was bombastic, the huge variety was amazing, there were no queues, there were a lot of everything, pastries, desserts were generally out of competition, at first they restrained their appetite, and then they gave up and enjoyed the goodies) the animation was interesting, we rested mainly by the pools, it was very cold at sea!I liked everything
It is a half-hour drive from the airport, the hotel is very pleasant, green, well maintained. The staff is friendly and attentive. The rooms are nice, the linen is clean, the towels were always changed. Delicious and varied food. The beach is being cleaned, the entrance is with algae))) I would love to come back here again!!

I visited this hotel in 2018, but I am still impressed with it! And there is something to compare it with, and great memories! I liked everything, the only drawback is not the first coastline, but it doesn't matter to me at all. Every evening is themed according to the cuisine, the hotel is super!!!!
The hotel is not bad. But it doesn't reach the four. I liked the animation. The choice of food is large, but there are nuances. Tea and coffee in the restaurant only in the morning. The rest of the time, the current is in bars, and tea and coffee from the bar are not allowed into the restaurant. As well as for a turnover with a snack at the bar. That is, after the restaurant closes, there is nothing left to drink. As well as strong drinks and cocktails are served in the lobby bar. Which seemed to me extremely inconvenient. In other bars, beer and wine are of fairly good quality. Drinks, especially juices, are just disgusting. The sea is dirty. They do not remove it too willingly. For that, the territory of the hotel simply shines with greenery and different vegetation. We went with the child and he was happy with everything. Move around the territory by yourself. We went to a la carte restaurants. I didn't like the Tunisian one very much, but the soup was excellent. But the Italian was pleasantly surprised. Everything is so delicious and exquisite by their standards that I would put 5 points. There is a hookah bar nearby. A regular hookah is 8 dinars and a watermelon or melon is 14 dinars. Practically for nothing. Pleasant environment. The hotel staff is helpful, but there were unpleasant moments. We were supposed to be picked up at the airport at 3-40. We asked about the food in the morning. To which they said (you can take cheese, fruit and bread) by the way, the fruits for dinner were plums and green tangerines. Imagine waking up in the morning and what should be given to the child? And do you drink water yourself? We had containers, so they weren't even allowed to take a slice of pizza. The most interesting thing is that they also found out at the airport that the plane was delayed for 2-30 hours. The departure from the hotel was extremely negative. I think my opinion will help you.
The country is small, but there are many attractions. It is a pity that the guides are unlikely to tell you how, for more than a hundred years, it was here that Russian sailors from the submerged ships of the Black Sea Squadron descended to the coast of distant Africa.

An amazing stay at this hotel. The case when there is a four, and service, food, service for a five. A special huge thank you to the chef, what delicious dishes they were..beauty. For every taste, there are many types of meat, poultry, fish, seafood. For breakfast, fragrant buns, croissants, donuts, pancakes with nutella, etc. Freshly squeezed juices (tomato/apple). Every evening at the dinner there was a theme from different countries of the world. France, Italy, Mexico, Tunisia.
The territory is well maintained, clean, but small..we chose a place on the grass away from the pool, there is a lawn there, on the way to the sea) there are fewer people there, and it's quieter. The road to the sea takes 5-7 minutes at a calm pace, it stretches along the fence of another hotel, but it did not cause any discomfort, it was pleasant to walk. The beach is good, the sand is white, the entrance to the sea is comfortable. There was no mud, although many write that it was in May because of strong winds that the entire coast was covered in mud. We were lucky, the sea was clean) we swam a couple of times, it was cold, the water was about 20 degrees. There is a bar on the beach, a toilet (good) and a shower (we didn't check it). The room and furniture are in satisfactory condition, a little old, but everything is clean. We got a big room. The ones that are four-digit rather than three-digit are different. Carpeted floor, private bathroom, large balcony-terrace. In general, we are very satisfied with the rest. The hotel was 100% full, one evening there was even a queue for dinner, it stretched all the way to the entrance to the hotel! That's it! We will definitely come back again!💋💋💋😉

We had a rest in the summer of 19! I liked everything, of course, there are nuances, and the carpets were trampled in the lobby, but this did not affect our vacation in any way! The climate is a fairy tale! People are friendly! I would go back there again!!

The hotel is large, the territory is beautifully landscaped, 2 large swimming pools.It takes 5-7 minutes to walk to the sea, the beach is small, but there are enough sun beds, the first rows of the usual one are occupied for the night.The hotel has a spa complex, I liked everything the first time, after the second visit I cried a lot, because the attitude was very unpleasant and dismissive (The animation is good, especially for children. There is a lot of food, there is a main cafe, a snack bar, a beach bar, in general, there is always an opportunity to have a snack. The hotel is large, there are a lot of rooms, at first we got used to their location for a long time.The room has a TV with Russian channels, air conditioning, a refrigerator, but food should not be left on the table, because there is an accumulation of ants. In general, I liked the rest.
Nice and clean hotel! The Internet catches only in the lobby! The food is good and delicious, there is a themed dinner every evening, it's interesting!
There are shops at the exit of the hotel where you can buy everything you need!
Nice hotel. We had a rest in July 2019. The rooms are large, the infrastructure is at a height, the only tension is a lot of chaos during meals. Most of all, I conquered the sea, it's a fairy tale. Many thanks to Anya, our secretary, without her we definitely would not have coped.
! Excellent cuisine, friendly staff, well-groomed beach, thalasso treatments at the hotel. There are many cozy corners on the territory, three swimming pools: one indoor with sea water.
There was a second time. In 18 and 19. In 19, the number of foreigners increased. Mostly people over the age of 50. There are families with children. In general, the hotel is suitable for those who want to relax, sunbathe, swim and have a delicious meal. They cook very well
The territory of the hotel is small, but beautiful. The staff is responsive. Anya (at the reception) will always help, tell you, show you where and how. The only bad thing is that the beach is not cleaned (i.e. algae, bags, etc. everything is swept to the sea and when the tide is out it all floats into the sea. There are a lot of algae on the shore, so you can't really lie on the sand. But otherwise everything is fine!
Russian Russians are treated badly, I thought, of course, if you behave like a "tagil", then the attitude will be appropriate, but everything turned out to be much worse, there was not a single violent Russian, but the attitude was disgusting, Tunisians believe that upon arrival to them, everyone should spend money and only then, maybe you will be served properly. Did you sit on the terrace? - be prepared for the fact that no one else will bring a fork, a knife if they are not on the table, wanted water, ask him 5 times in 20 minutes, he will say OK and will not bring anything. They usually feed, there are seafood, but they all taste the same, in short, if you only eat dumplings and pasta with sausage at home, then you will feel the difference if you mainly eat in restaurants or cook something interesting, then you will not be willing to eat. In fact , there are no fruits - there are tired apples , melon with the taste of grass . Greens - there is always parsley and fennel (not to be confused with dill).
About hygiene - how to wash glasses on bars is just sad , considering that there are people with colds , it is very annoying , the glasses are simply rinsed with water . There is plenty of alcohol from drinks in the bar , but if you are a healthy person, you will drink only water and water with lemon, packaged juices, non-alcoholic cocktails are a mixture of the same packaged juices ...
Tunisians can mimic you at bars if you have bad English.In short, if you show that you are Russian, then immediately the attitude will be bad, so learn English and pretend to be foreigners.
The pools are clean, there are "animators" scurrying around who offer to buy a ticket to the evening event for ≈ 4$, their duties end on this trip, since animation and these paid contests are just a Spanish shame...
The sea is relatively quiet, there are jellyfish, it burns unpleasantly, but tolerable, a lot of algae and plastic, again, Tunisians scurry around selling all sorts of game.
I do not recommend riding a jet ski (70dinar), banana (20dinar), it is very boring.
If you are flying in autumn, then be prepared for the fact that it will rain and you will have to sit in the room. after going at the end of September, I found the forecasts delusional, well, it can't rain for a long time and go constantly, there is Sugar nearby, so I have never been wrong.
Outside the hotel there are a bunch of shops with the same obsessive Tunisians selling goods (crap) from the Chinese market in 2005, at brand prices.
And due to the large number of positive reviews, the main contingent is 60+.
By the way, at the expense of local guides, they do not consider it necessary to solve your problems, they will simply agree that the attitude is bad and offer to give money to the waiters in order to establish an attitude ...
In general, I do not advise you to go here, the vacation is extremely boring and irritable, for an average price of 110 thousand rubles / 9 days / 2 people it is very bad.

One of the best hotels in Sousse (Port El Kantaoui). Excellent landscaped grounds, comfortable rooms, daily cleaning. The food is great, a huge variety of dishes, everything is very tasty. Private beach, cool funny animators, do not let you get bored all day, but not annoying.

In general, the hotel is not bad, the food is good (very tasty watermelons, melon, fish), the rooms are cleaned regularly. Although the travel agency said that the hotel is on the first line, in fact it is not the first line, but the second. But even with this in mind, it's not long to go to the sea - 2-4 minutes. They don't give you a lot of drinks on hand. There is a fine for taking food out of the restaurant in the amount of 50 dinars. Towels are given out on a deposit of 20 dinars and they can be changed no more than 3 times. There is animation, but they mostly do dancing, aerobics and yoga. The entrance to the sea is not cleaned regularly, so sometimes it can be quite polluted, with algae and debris. But quite often the sea was quite clean. The sand on the beach is white and clean. The in-room safe is chargeable. The important point is that the free wi-fi in the hotel is very terrible - it is almost impossible to connect to it. However, for money you can connect to good wi-fi, which works great in the room.
A very good hotel, close to the sea, the food is delicious and varied. Take your beer and drinks cups with you, glasses are poorly washed!

We had a vacation with my husband and two-year-old child in early April.
The weather is +17°C, the wind is cold, and the open sun is cool!!! For the option with a child, it is very successful))
Number:
- there are tiles everywhere on the floor without heating, the child is small-you can't get off the bed without shoes.
- two beds are shifted, there is a 5cm gap between the mattresses in the middle, the child is small - it is unrealistic to sleep, as expected, between parents.
- the balcony door did not close tightly while we were having dinner, the hotel staff promptly fixed everything.
- wi-fi in the room for an additional fee, free only in the lobby.
- there are only towels and a piece of soap in the bathroom! No slippers, bathrobes, disposable shampoos... No toothpaste, Carl! Four stars! They offered us to go to the store for pasta, it's not far away)))
- DISGUSTING COFFEE!!! this is the biggest disappointment. And there's nowhere to even buy a normal drink!!! We dreamed of drinking coffee with dates on the balcony in the evening))) Yeah, sure! Drink water! The rest is dirty!
+ I liked the food! The child also ate for both cheeks))
+ it's not far to the sea, it's lovely!
+ Two beautiful outdoor pools!
+ indoor swimming pool with sea water (but all without caps and, accordingly, honey. for information, we did not dare to dive)
+ friendly, responsive staff, it was very captivating))
The hotel is great for a family holiday, bad reviews are written, it seems to me, only people with such a character who "everything is wrong". Of course, you may not get a ride with the purity of the sea, it depends on where the wind blows from.
After rereading the previously left review, perhaps I will add the following: I realized my mistake, that I was carried away by the description of the hotel territory and did not say a word about the weather! On the first visit to the hotel from May 6, upon arrival in Sousse, the weather only began to improve. It was 20-24 degrees in the afternoon, with the slightest overlap of clouds of the sun, a cold breeze blows over, up to "goosebumps", pools on the territory of the hotel "for walruses", the water temperature in the sea is also not "fresh milk". I thought that I would return home without sunbathing, however, a few sunny days stood. In the evening, a very cold piercing wind blows through, "tooth on tooth does not get". On the second arrival from October 6, the weather was exactly warm. It's not hot. But it's not cold either. Sometimes I had to wear a leather jacket in the evening, but the wind is not as cold as in May. The sun warms pleasantly, it does not get too hot, so you can sunbathe all day and not be afraid to burn (by the way, I sunbathed without sunscreen cosmetics). The sea was not warm either, but you can swim. I didn't see any jellyfish, but they stung some tourists.
I had a rest at the end of October 2018. The hotel is normal. The food is excellent, there is a lot of seafood: crabs, shrimps, mussels, squid. In addition, every day there is chicken, beef, mutton, fish. Everything is very tasty.

Quietly, calmly. Everything would be fine, but the attitude is not particularly good, compared with the attitude of the staff towards the Europeans. And we, Russians, can also give an unmade room
They say put the money in the room safe. I did not remove the shaving machine. It was stolen on the penultimate day. So there was a slight residue from the hotel. As it is, everything is fine.
I liked the hotel, good food and service. Of the minuses, the 2nd line and the maid steal various little things, despite the fact that we left her a tip.
The air conditioners do not work the rooms are ordinary
I would like better food, not high-quality juices are disgusting
3~4 star vacation
Those who love chic don't come here
great hotel, the food is very tasty and varied. There was a lot of seafood

Nice hotel. Three pools, one with sea water, for those who do not like the smell of algae at sea. There are no slides. There is a disco for children. The air conditioning in the room is working fine. There are different nations among the visitors: Russian, Tunisians, Germans, French. A good animation team.
Great hotel. Upset the beach. The beach is terrible after the storm. During the 10 days of rest, no one has ever cleaned anything. I had to take a taxi to other beaches.
