Guest comments

Pleases that the staff at least a little, but speaks Russian. Check-in takes place at any time of the day. After filling in the questionnaire at the reception, they give out keys, a power card. Suitcases for a small tip can bring a porter. The numbers should be checked immediately, as there may be some malfunctions, for example, the air conditioner does not work. If you want, you can change the number, which happens very quickly. Problems with the equipment are also solved in the blink of an eye, repairmen quickly fix the malfunction.

The rooms are not very large, old, but clean. There are several beds, bedside tables, banquettes, a mirror, a table, a closet and a bathroom with a bath, a washbasin and a bath. Furniture is not new, but everything works properly. The sewerage system is poorly functioning, the water from the sink and the tub goes off for too long. The room does not have a refrigerator, safe and TV. There may be problems with the outlets, there are only a few pieces for the whole number. They are located too high. It is better to bring an extension cord and a tee.

The supply of hot and cold water occurs without interruption. Drinking water is provided free of charge in the bar opposite the administration. The balconies of the rooms of the "standard" category go out to the water park, the neighboring hotel and the sea. Of the minuses is to note the poor sound insulation in the rooms. It seems that the doors are completely missing.

About location

According to tourists, the hotel "Sahara Beach" is not the most successful location in terms of the availability of shops. You need to go shopping in Monastir, or in Sousse.

The complex consists of three buildings. The hotel is old, but outwardly it is well disguised. The territory is clean and well-groomed. All around is buried in greenery, many flowers, trees and other shrubs grow. In the air, there is a pleasant aroma.

Despite the fact that the complex has many elevators, there may be queues. The restaurant is located on the ground floor. There are also shops with clothes, beach accessories, jewelry, leather goods, spices and toys. Sometimes locals bring sweets. Sellers without any problems understand what the customers say in Russian. The prices are slightly overestimated compared to the shops of Sousse and Monastir.

Room Service

They try to clean the rooms when the guests are not there. It can be at any time of the day. Towels are changed regularly, but their quality leaves much to be desired. For little money, cleaners can turn figurines from towels and sprinkle beds with flower petals.

Service

The staff is very nice, friendly and friendly, especially everyone tries for a small tip, which, by the way, is constantly necessary to leave. In the restaurant you can enjoy free of charge delicious fruits, which are then sold on the territory of the hotel chilled and already for money.

The hotel is mostly inhabited by Arabs, fewer French, English and Germans. Russian enough. Arabs create a lot of noise, the French, especially young people, behave very indecently. You can hear laughter and loud cries.

Internet catches relatively well. You can communicate in social networks and check your mail.

Food

The food at the Sahara Beach Hotel 3 * (Tunis, Monastir) is very good. The food is delicious and varied. Guests are offered meat dishes, fish, various salads, eggs in various variations, cakes, yoghurts, nuts. From drinks - cappuccino, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Juices, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks in the range. From fruit oranges, apples, watermelons and melons. During the day, you can take delicious ice cream from refrigerators.

Upon check-in, a restaurant card is issued. The first time you need to show it to the manager, who will fix the table and the waiter for you during the rest period. For breakfast - self-service. For lunch and dinner, the waiter brings drinks.

The restaurant itself is huge. The guests of all buildings eat there. The restaurant itself is clean, but there is always something to complain about. But the food is good. The food is varied, drinks are diluted within the limits of the norm.

Beach holidays

The beach is very large, but it is rarely cleaned there. Often there are cigarette butts and other debris. The sea is warm, sometimes there are waves. But during a storm to the shore, algae and jellyfish can be nailed, which can even sting. In this case, you can turn to a restaurant on the coast. You will be given some remedy for burns.

SPA procedures

Not all fans of the sauna procedures are delighted with the services offered at the Sahara Beach Hotel 3 * (Skanes). Hamam here is represented by a thermae, shower and a simple massage, which is done by an Arab. Everything looks not very professional. But those who have never encountered such procedures, it may seem that everything is fine. Advanced travelers are not advised to spend money on this.

Swimming Pools

The Sahara Beach Hotel 3 * (Tunisia) has 4 swimming pools. The largest is equipped with waterfalls, which include at noon. The central pool is the deepest. Animation programs are always held here. A heated swimming pool is located in the spa area. Another one near the bar. All pools are highly chlorinated. The smell is almost throughout the hotel. Many of them bleach because of bleach.

Aquapark

There is a water park on site. Almost always it is hammered by noisy Arabs with disobedient children. The very design of the water park does not inspire confidence, very fragile. But you can have fun here. Children have fun.

Animation

Entertainment in the hotel Sahara Beach 3 * (Tunisia) is excellent. Animators give presentations, conduct games and all sorts of contests near the central pool. The hotel has its own theater, which in the evenings shows a variety of performances. For children, the same programs are carried out every day.

Excursions

Sousse is a 40-minute drive away. Bus stop right outside the hotel. The city itself is not very clean, but there is something to see. You can go shopping at local stores. The prices for silver and leather products here are quite low. In the central supermarket you can find anything you like.

Also nearby is the town of Monastir. The center of the resort is spacious and beautiful. The city itself is clean and well maintained. But it is better not to visit the local market. There is a stench and dirt. Although here you can buy jewelry almost free.

Especially tourists are advised to go on an excursion to the Sahara for a few days. The trip is offered directly at the hotel. You can really spend time with benefit and learn a lot of new things. In two days you will see almost all the sights of Tunisia. The excursion involves visiting the amphitheater, monasteries, dwellings of ancient settlements, camel riding, meeting the dawn in the desert, spending the night in another hotel, visiting the oasis where the film "English patient" was shot. After such a journey, fatigue is overtaken, but his impressions exceed all expectations.

For a rest without excesses, the Sahara Beach Hotel 3 *, Tunisia, uniquely suits. Feedback from tourists confirm this.

Overall Impression

The hotel deserves its stars. It is located in a well-groomed territory, drowning in lush, fragrant vegetation. The complex is old, but this does not stop him from enjoying many holidaymakers year after year. Here, delicious food is served with a variety of dishes. The work of all the staff deserves respect. The rooms have everything you need. The hotel has several swimming pools, a spa area and even its own mini-aqua park. Here you can safely go with young children. Local tour operators offer cognitive excursions for a small fee. Be sure to visit the local attractions and go shopping.

The hotel even has its own stable, where you can go and feed the animals. But the main advantage is food. Rarely when in hotels three stars so tasty and variedly fed. Cooks here deserve special praise.

Of the minor disadvantages, we can note a not very clean beach area (although they clean it every morning), poor sound insulation in the rooms, the lack of a refrigerator in the apartments and the not very strong construction of the water park. But nevertheless, you can have a great time here with the whole family. It is better to book in the hotel Sahara Beach 3 * (Tunisia) tour. The price for the room here starts from 6000 rubles. If you make a trip through the tour operator, it will be somewhat cheaper. But it is better to buy excursions on the spot. In addition, local residents can tell what to watch and where to go first. Yes, and the cost will be significantly different. The hotel has a tour desk.
