I must say right away, I have been to Tunisia 13 times. The hotel is located in the city of Nabeul and it is the northernmost resort city to which the tour operator currently carries tourists. For those who are not "in the subject" - the star rating of a hotel in Tunisia does not always determine the quality of service and accommodation. For me personally, this hotel is like a stopover point and I have been to this hotel for the second time and the second time was at the end of the season. That is, to throw things away and travel around the country and cities on your own.
And now about the hotel in ratings from 1 to 10 :
stardom - 3,
Cleanliness of the hotel and the territory - 9
Room and room cleaning - 6
The staff - 10 are all friendly, kind people who will always be able to listen to you, understand, help, prompt..
Animation - 7 (although it doesn't matter to me, but the kids like it)
The beach is 5 (there are a lot of stones and the entrance to the sea is not very convenient)
Outdoor pool - 9 (large, clean pool, enough space for everyone)
The hotel bar is 10 (good coffee, normal, not diluted beer. There is wine, and all sorts of other alcohol)
The kitchen in the restaurant is 6 (the end of the season, everything is clear, everyone is tired, there are few tourists, so the choice of dishes is limited. But I wasn't hungry either)
The hotel is located on the beach. The beach right next to the hotel is rocky. A little to the side - sandy. Jellyfish and other dangerous animals have not been encountered during the entire stay. The sea is warm (27-28 degrees in July), sometimes waves, the children are full of delight!
The hotel has its own swimming pool. Its depth varies from about 1 to 2 m. Animation, water gymnastics, dancing and other activities are held daily.
We were on an All-inclusive vacation, so lemonade and beer flowed like a river. You could also get other drinks at the bar: wine, booze (fig vodka), tea, coffee.
Meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner, buffet. The choice of dishes is good. We ate watermelons and melons for dessert every day =).
Everything in the room is neat and clean. The bathroom is combined - a toilet, a bathtub and a sink. We had 2 rooms in our room. In one of them, the air conditioner did not work for cooling, for some reason it was blowing warm air. As a result, we all slept in the same room, where the air conditioner worked fine.
The hotel has a Russian-speaking staff member who will help solve all issues.
We also had a Russian-speaking guide from a travel agency. He organized excursions and connected a local SIM card. I highly recommend 10 GB for 20 dinars (about 600 rubles) for 30 days.
I was at the hotel in the second half of September. During the check-in, there was no light at night on the entire coast due to an accident. In my opinion, they gave a super economy room, with the most unfortunate location and without a balcony. Everything is simple in the room, there is a broken shower head in the bathroom, a 0.5 × 0.5 shower, which is why the water spilled almost all over the bathroom, they cleaned well, there were towels, shower accessories, too, for a reason, of course, you can't do without normal cleaning.
The beach is seaweed and rocky, further from the hotel there are places with good access to the sea.
The pool is good, sometimes slides were included. There was aqua aerobics in it every day. Every day there are animators dancing on the stage, they try, then dancing in front of the stage.
The room overlooks the pool, until 24. 00 with the windows closed, you can hear the music perfectly, from the door everything that happens at the reception.
The hotel has a huge number of unwashed glasses and mirrors, which spoils the impression of the hotel. There are a lot of abandoned premises on the territory. Once they opened a nightclub for a disco. There are Russian-speaking staff, but we need to look, there are those who know English.
The food is monotonous and specific, for me personally, there is meat, pancakes and omelets are fried for breakfast. Watermelons and melons are made from fruits. Lots of pesky flies. Coffee from the coffee machine is only in the bar, I won't say anything about drinks, I only took red wine.
No way, never!!!! The main visitors are local. They storm the restaurant, pile huge amounts of food on plates, and then leave it all. The beach opens at 9 a.m., and then after swearing at the reception. They tried to steal my beach slippers from me-I had to take a cross over the hotel for the kidnapper. Now you can only go to 4 and 5 stars.
The hotel is bankrupt.Everything that is said on the Internet before 23 is a bluff.The beach is terrible, the food is like in the dining room. The staff is trying, but it's not enough.The hotel used to shine (in the 80s), but now there is a lot of ruin and abandoned premises!And we also met large cockroaches in the rooms and in the hotel restaurant, the size of an adult man's little finger.So decide for yourself what you need.
The all-inclusive system offers everything I love: real yoghurts and halva, fish and turkey, salads and watermelons, beer and dry wine, countless desserts, ice cream and biscuits. Everything is very fresh and delicious. The staff is helpful, friendly, and helpful. There are shops and bars on the territory.Most of the windows and verandas look out to the sea. The beach is clean, sand. A swimming pool with aqua aerobics and various animations for children and adults.
A pretty good hotel, the room had a clean view of the sea, the food was quite on the level, but for these stars I would even say gorgeous. Animators try to eat tennis courts. The beach is a 1-minute walk away and there are places for children to swim.
Bottom, avoid this place.
The funds are old, dead, there is no beach, the contingent of guests is overwhelmingly local, which is not impressive.

For a 3* hotel - super! Excellent varied food, great animation, the staff is always helpful. Russian russians are many, the animation is partly in Russian, our guide is at the hotel.
The beach is good, the entrance to the sea is convenient, although it is mostly rocks and algae. There is a pontoon, in my opinion, stupid, since it is in shallow water, but it is difficult to climb on it from the water.
However, do not forget that this is Tunisia, and the Pyramids are a budget three-piece. That is, do not expect special cleanliness anywhere and understand that minor repairs may be required in the rooms. Some of the rooms have been renovated.
Overall, the hotel left a very pleasant impression. Thanks for the rest))
We rested from August 12 , 14 nights . It so happened that we had a rest in this hotel 3 times this year. And I come here and bring friends and acquaintances for 6 years in a row, except 2020.The hotel has a homely atmosphere. Responsive staff. The first line . I left the bungalow and you 're at the sea . The entrance to the sea , not everywhere , is a little rocky . But the sea itself is clean , there are no jellyfish in this region .I haven't seen. The locals come for the weekend. But there is enough space and food for everyone. The animator boys are doing their best, in the evening there are various shows, a disco. Everyone is in a good mood . The room has new air conditioners and was renovated in 2019. Animal lovers, do not pass by, feed the hotel seals . Ginger , he always sits under the palm trees on the sunbed . Be sure to pour water , there is a bowl . Otherwise, they drink from the pool . A black cat comes running in the evening , also eternally hungry . My soul always hurts when I leave. The hotel staff , as I understand it, do not feed the kittens . But if you want to feed, you can wrap a couple of pieces of meat in a napkin , bare the cat right away , do not leave it in the grass , ants will crawl . Sorry for being so detailed . And so the hotel is suitable for both young people and children. Children find friends and have fun. There is free Wi-Fi at the reception. The price is good until October . The sea is very warm. Rains are rare . I wish you all a good rest.
Positive:
1. Good entertainment programs.
2. The first line by the sea.
3. Cheap travel packages.
4. Shops and cafes are within walking distance from the hotel.
Minuses:
1. The air conditioners in the rooms do not work.
2. Low/poor nutrition variety
3. Arabs who come on vacation are just pigs: they eat from the table, not from plates; they behave boorishly worse than cattle tourists from the Russian Federation; they smoke in prohibited areas, with children.
4. The first line, and the beach is so-so: dirty, a mixture of sand and stones, entering the sea - the first meters you can break your legs on the rocks.
5. It borders on the city beach, where locals come and wildly yell, litter, loudly listen to moronic music.
6. From the hotel (or not quite from the hotel) they ride on a cheesecake, on a parachute (tied to a boat) - the boat starts and docks where there is the best entrance to the water and where people (including children) swim! They are dispersing vacationers to dock this trough! It's not safe, and their priorities are set incorrectly.
7. It's not safe to leave money and valuables in the room - that's the only way to steal!
In general, we flew 1 time. Never set foot in this hotel again!
The territory of the hotel itself is huge, the room in which I lived 1217 was spacious and overlooking the sea.the kitchen is for the not fastidious, you will not stay hungry) The whole atmosphere is of course made by animators and Amin) Without animators, this hotel will turn into a hostel)
I was staying at this hotel just this summer
It was a lot of fun, I speak like a child, I even have a friend who is 17 years old and he is not Russian
There is also a great pool with different heights, there are even 2 meters starting from the ladder, it is marble right in the pool itself and there is a depth of about 1 meter, and then deeper and deeper.
Very friendly attitude towards Russian tourists.Delicious food.All defects in the rooms are corrected.

I love this hotel. High-level service, friendly staff. If you don't like the room, they change it without problems and surcharges. The disadvantage is that the airport is far away, they take everyone on a tour before everyone else, they bring everyone later. Minus is the entrance to the sea, but you can walk 20 meters and everything is fine. The location is convenient in relation to the center of Nabul, you go out and immediately walk along the street, where merchants do not invite you, there is a supermarket nearby, a 15-minute walk to the market or for 50 rubles!!!by taxi.
The food is delicious, there is no such variety as in 5*, but it is very good.
I recommend it to unassuming people.
Thanks to the owner of the hotel. The price-quality ratio is balanced.
We were in the summer of 2019 for a whole month. Everything was fine for my money. We didn't stay hungry, meat, fruits, ice cream, animation and a beautiful sea!
Three stars. Extremely poor nutrition. There is a very loud midnight disco on Friday and Saturday.
It is better to take a more expensive one, you can from the same news network
In principle, everything was fine with us when we arrived, although as I read previous reviews, I wanted to live right in a bungalow, because an adult couple arrived.But, upon arrival (I wanted to pay!)at the reception, the Russian-speaking woman told me that there were no rooms in the bungalow, and since 40 people flew from Belarus or rather from Grodno at once, all the rooms were already waiting for us upon arrival. Well. what I will say is correct, and as I showed her the bungalow there on my fingers, no! ... So don't waste your money!... Well, we liked our room very much right away, room 208! The 3rd floor, according to the hotel, is considered the 2nd! The sea view is all as requested here.We really liked the room and the view! And the bathroom and everything worked there and everything was clean! Underwear too!... I was already so afraid as they wrote. I sniffed it....Everything was fine!.Cleaning every day, nothing was given, sometimes chocolate, Well, and then we go to the sea ... Well, this is the biggest minus of this hotel! The entrance is very large stones, so the whole beach ..., I was in a panic at first, but the sea is very transparent, the stones are all visible, so after a couple of days I found a way in and swam almost without problems! Well, what's next. we leave the sea, sun beds, and a bar on the beach, there is beer water, then we go to aerobics in the pool. I liked it! Then they wrote about food. Well, what can I tell you, yes, there are eggs for breakfast, and there are always fresh baked buns, and pancakes, ... yes. there is a queue behind him, but come there are still other pastries, biscuits and more, and yes there are porridges and sometimes very tasty cottage cheese. cheese, salads.Well, since I don't eat much in the morning, it's normal! Lunch and dinner will surprise you with a variety of meat dishes and everything will be delicious!... Well, further, if you come with children, you are there, no - THEY WILL BE ALL THERE!!! THEY LITERALLY LICK THEM THERE!!!... and further, since my room was on the stage and the sea, I was glad at first, everything suited us and the noise of the children's disco and then some kind of show! But . in the end, the animation disappointed us in general!!! Oh! the animation was written! Animation! And that, as we were already on the 7th day, and we had already taken a photo and were already waiting for ourselves. Finally, after the nursery, we will dance, it was Sunday.....BUT, ALAS AND AH!...after the children 's animation . and she was almost 9-10..., I don't remember exactly, they tried to watch TV, THEN THE ADULT DID NOT START!!!!!,,,,, BRAVO TO THE ANIMATORS!!! THEY DIDN'T EVEN PLAY ANY MUSIC FOR US!!! Well, it didn't seem to be up to us adults at all!!!... Well, okay,.. we've forgiven them for that. Well, animators are people too!... Never mind!... On Monday, we decided to sleep on principle...THE HORROR! HOW THE MUSIC WAS BOOMING! AND I'LL TELL YOU A GOOD ONE!!!.. Okay, let's go to animation on Tuesday... my husband and I are already doing kindergarten or pioneer animation!!!We sat down well at the table (tomorrow is the last day!)And what do you think, KARAOKI!!!!And this is again the children and 20 more people who have neither hearing nor voice!!!....Oh!!!!!I WENT TO FIGHT WITH THEM THEN!!! WELL, NOT REALLY, OF COURSE, BUT I ASKED WHAT KIND OF PIONEER CAMP!And when will there finally be an adult animation? Of course, they ran after me and said that it was for their leadership! Like he decides everything according to the program.That's it for the animation!!!!IT WAS LIKE THIS !!!!....!PIONEER CAMP!!!!....Well, what else can I write to you about the staff :everyone was smiling, I was smiling at them too, at the beach bar, the old man didn't really serve my husband at first.. and then everything is with a smile, you put wine or beer in his glass ..., by the way, I do not advise beer, it's like sidor or just non-alcoholic!... Well , to the undergrowth . When we arrived, 40 people, plus Moscow and St. Petersburg were vacationing there before us.Belarus, there were few Arabs!.Yes, they sometimes came to watch a football match, yes, they sat in a bar, and on the street, but further on, nothing bad happened to anyone from them. And how they write .that they left a lot of dirt behind, maybe because they sat until morning. and in the morning and throughout the day, everything was cleaned...So everything seems to be fine!Thanks to the chefs! Thanks to all the service staff!!! Everything is cool, but THE ANIMATION AT THE END LET ME DOWN!!!Advice on choosing a room I don't know what to say, if you are a young couple, what difference does it make to you? 208! Well, it's a very beautiful view! And the scene from the balcony, I danced there sometimes! If you are with children, or elderly or mature, like we are a couple in a bungalow, well, you will get there yourself....but it is really VERY NOISY there in the evening!!!!I can hear everything!
It's dirty, there are a lot of Arabs...they smoke everywhere....in the restaurant, the floors are not washed at all....the pool is sprinkled with bleach....the beach is nice...drinks are normal at the bar
After the hotel joined the Novostar team, the hotel has become much better!!!! Of course there are disadvantages, but there are much more advantages!!! Do not forget that this is just a budget troika in Tunisia ☝️
I liked everything, but the cleaning is not always on time and not to the extent that it should be done. The food is excellent, you definitely won't stay hungry. The beach is rocky on the opposite side, we walked a little to the right of the hotel.
there is a lot of alcohol, if you ask for half a liter they will pour it right away, the beach is normal, the rooms are too, but the food is all with spices on the 6th day I couldn't look at this turmeric anymore...
A good hotel for its price. But it's a little stuffy in the lobby.

Terrible hotel. Some disadvantages. No positive emotions. The service is boorish, the pool with tiny tiles that children hurt their feet, the pool bar is run by an older man who doesn't care about everything and everyone.. He walks around on his own, when he deigns to pour a drink.. With that kind of look, the main thing is not to choke... Maybe the glass s that I collected should not be washed, but poured into a dirty one on the go.. The main bar, there is also not much to run up to serve.. First the locals.. Who come into the public domain, like in a diner to drink a beer and stare at half-naked women... And they're sitting at tables by the pool, sipping a beer.. There are a lot of people by the pool, because there is practically no entry into the sea, only rocks and boulders.. You can enter without an arblem only in the carals.. If you want to spend your vacation at sea, then this definitely does not apply to this hotel.. Because a normal beach with access to the sea without problems can only be found outside the hotel.. Next, the animation, the guys are fervent, active.. But this music from 10.00 to 00.00 continuously, which can be heard even in the room with the windows closed and the TV running, is sometimes unbearable..
The restaurant cannot be called a restaurant.. An ordinary canteen.. There is basically nothing to have breakfast with.. Some eggs, carrots, a queue for pancakes, 1 per plate.. I don't eat them anyway, but the fact is.. Other hotels have pancakes and omelets, or at least every other day. Lunch and dinner are so-so, most of them are very spicy. In general, although not cheap and not expensive, but we wasted it, because this is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.. It is not clear why they were given 3 *...it is better to pay a little extra money and go at least to 4*, which is also nearby from Novostar.. For 10 days, as in the movie *Groundhog Day*, we were glad that our vacation was over and we were leaving.. We waited for them. I hope we don't get into any more trouble..
To change the drain in the bathrooms, it is better to clean the rooms, improve the breakfasts (there are not enough dairy products, queues for pancakes, wash the dishes normally)...
