visitor's view of the hotel ZITA (Zarzis in Tunisia)
DEPARTURE
Excellent organization Zita regarding departures. If the room must be released conventionally enough for lunch (they are electronic key, so difficult to extend ...), you are ready before you leave, return to the beach or pool, one of three ad hoc chambers or travelers can take a shower, now disguised etc. ... then wait again in the great hall and pick from the airport. Suitcases are they, kept locked in the room "starts" but you can easily to retrieve clothes and kits necessary ... (Our rating: 5 triangles.)
Pretty buildings scattered around the area ... (Avoid those, more noisy, near the pool)
OR THERE'S HEALTH, Y'A FUN?
This is a detail for some, but it counts: the bathroom modern and clean everywhere, in Zita ... (Our rating for general hygiene Zita in , including kitchens: 4 triangles) The downside: rarely emptied the trash and overflowing garbage often at the beach. We know that every man wearing a bathing suit and preparing to enter a body of salt water left in a heap on the beach a number of objects equal and proportionate to the social category to which it belongs. ZITA PANORAMA
The esplanade in front of the stage shows. (Too bad for design, these plastic chairs!). The kingdom clerks comedy entertainers and gallery full of good evidence volonté.Ici the teufeurs not going pioncer not at eleven o'clock in the morning ... Weekly program immutable displayed at the outlet of restaurant every day of the week's show. At 20 hours, and mini-disco every evening at 9:01 p.m. show ... (Fakir, Tunisian folklore, etc. ...) The big and small children are here "ach'ment super", so our rating is 4 triangles. PANORAMA ZITA (2)
From the pool to the beach (with a bar, unfrequented). For the record, according to Pierre DAC creationof tracks dating back to ancient times when, to claim its maritime rights, the sea was a strike on a pile of sand. NOT FOR NET-ADDICTS
New brand hotel, nowadays, must have internet access to enable its customers to avoid the postcards and Hotmail, Google at will ... Alas, the Zita just placed two Dell PC in the corner of a meeting room usually plunged into darkness. (Never mind the switch, the switch is in a cabinet on the wall). The procedure is rather bureaucratic: the reception that delivers every time, for 5 dinars a small slip of paper bearing a access number valid for one hour. Therefore: all cyber-addict completes course his credit. result: the candidates to access are numerous but space behind the screen are rares.De addition, Eita apparently ignores the existence of anti-virus. So during our stay, one of the two PCs was totally out despite attempts by many tourists more or less computer ... Hope for owners of laptops (we've tested): the connection with the Dell Wi Fi.
PIZZAIOLO
the afternoon, from 15 h 30, the restaurant paillotte related to the pool offers self-service of course, a series of hot dishes, sandwiches, pastries, etc. ... all accompanied by tea (Lipton bags rush's more caffeine than the Tunisian bags) and coffee bof. But the expected event is the tops of pizza fresh vegetables, really delicious! (Our rating: 4 triangles). The downside: another straw hut next issue, she crêpesqui large, they are paying (4 dinars) without anything showing. A perpetual subject to misunderstandings (you know kids who do not like pancakes?) in an "all in". RESTAURANTS
In Zita, you can eat either in the huge room-conditioned- the restaurant "La Coupole" (again, a success in terms of deco: Despite the grandeur of the place, it is far from the officers' mess or, as everyone knows, the menu is strictly militari ...) or in outdoor restaurants. You will succeed always grab a table, generally already used by previous guests ... Staff, it is often necessary to go take his sleeve, you draw a new table and illico notes refreshing Stuff (bottled water, still or sparkling glass bottle in the parade by hundreds Zita. ..) It'll then turn the base at the queuing feature buffets (three in fact identical: two in the room, one-less-crowded outside). It is outside you also find the barbecue (new file) to get fish, vegetables, grilled meat or egg feet cheerleaders hard ... (not meee!) Of good quality wines (white, red and pink-best-) are served in a half open bottle in front of you. Beer and soft drinks are served at the distributors. (Let's be clear: the cola is yuck). If the pasta overcooked sometimes protest the important Italian customers, buffets, without touching the engineering, provide a sufficiently varied food so that everyone can find happiness among the delicious ripe tomatoes and watermelons fondant roses ... Alas, the grain couscous, although it is in Tunisia, this is the only Friday night, during a Recurring "buffet Berber". / The vast resto Zita is obviously not the ideal place for a head to head, by the sounds of forks and happy snapping mandibles of hundreds of hungry ... (But we repeat, is not at all weighed down by the crowd as the place is huge ...) Our rating: 4 triangles for desserts: pâtisserries and, especially, ice vesperal - self-served in cuts steel retro-triggering a long line of taste. SHOPPING INTRAMURAL
The complex Zita integrates its small shopping mall: shop for the essentials (sunscreen, toiletries, biscuits, toys, postcards with stamps, and many newspapers French magazines ...); the Tunisian craft store (sheesha, dresses, bags, etc ...) (here, unlike outside the hotel, the boss does not market its hotel price); the sneaker store ... At the end of the field, so after a walk, there are numerous craft shops and local products more or less interesting. The problem is that there is obviously quickly harass more or less adroitly calls "Gazelle" and "gazous" fairly unbalanced ... harmful consequences: when starting, is to break with its bearings , many tourists do not even leave the borders of Zita their entire annual period of décervellisation. INDEX 40
For summer, the Visitor, the absence of suspicious wife, relies on lotions that ensure the complexion of a young woman chlorotic in the snow ... Well, beware ray Phoebus, often hot. EUH PING PONG AND
curious: while Hotel Zita bounces towards modernity, the four ping-pong tables scattered around the pool are for the most part, already dilapidated ... As for snowshoes (5 to 10 dinars deposit), some must be part of the historical heritage of the former Zita ... (Our rating: 2 triangles for this ping pong too little ...)
ONE DAY, ON CEASE AND SWIM THE OCEAN IS EMPTY
few hawkers on the beach Zita eminently monitored. Vendors carriage rides and visits more or less exacting in the region since a tactic aquatic or crawlent they wade around in the sea to move between two waves with their customer-swimmers catalog verbal excursions. .. Certainly, there are algae but the Mediterranean is warm and the sand very clean ...) (Our rating: 4 triangles) MONTAIGNE THE BEACH
The beach Zita, very long, attached umbrellas, huts, situated along the hotel buildings of yesteryear (Less than 20 meters from the waves. Their reconstruction would be impossible under Tunisian laws that have increased the limit to 45 m). What is very nice is that you can rent and reserve a beach chair for a week (always the same) for 15 dinars per week. You're going to do at the reception you receive a little receipt entitling you to a wonderful white plastic deck chair (which eventually house comfortable mattresses that you will indeed look for yourself each morning to simplify matters .. .). Muni said good, the attendant will accompany you to the beach sand selected. Will take place as a scene of high-flying craft: with a mini-roll of sticky paper of poor quality, the friendly clerk will strive to stick the tiny words received, dates of hire more or less legible, on top of transat.Conséquences this comfortable system but at least imperfect, you inevitably find one morning, your seating already squatted by neo-tourists arrived at the mine paper boiled and ignorant of sunbathers and commercial uses very discrete Zita. If by chance your mini-ticket stands (scotch and sand do not mix), or that your chair has been taken off by a distracted, then you have to face a rapid administration of a neo-Stalinist reception Zita ("Please wait in a chair ...") (the time an officer conandoylesque indaguer go away on the sand)) before receiving a duplicate that you'll stick this time carefully yourself. (Well, there are things more painful than this ...) Attention: If you rent your chair until the day after your arrival, be sure that this is the current date, otherwise you'll end up on the sand the last day of your stay ... (Our rating: 4 triangles) TOWELS BEACH HOUSE
No real battle deck (this is eminently aware warrior holiday) around pools Zita . No need to get up from the crack of pussy humming Jacques Dutronc ("It's 5 o'clock, Zita s'éveeeeiiiillle ...") boldly to seize one or the other chair. Firstly, because they are present in large numbers (although all busy in August, during peak hours). But because it is tolerated to leave his beach towel Ferrari Barbie or Plocounet (to taste) day and night! Brief, the evening comes, you pack the bouncer said toweling and you will find yourself stuck in the same place bronzed throughout your stay ... (Do not use the camel color towels from the hotel, ruthlessly Collect places) I LOVE ALL THE BEST PEACE: THE POOL
There are two large swimming pools Zita, with islands of palm trees and all desired depths, for all ages. This environment is generally more or less noisy (quiet before 10:30 and late afternoon) surrounded by the "Moon Bar," the local "entertainment", the mini-club (a little off) of outdoor restaurants, performing for gym-tonic and other evening entertainment. POOL OR BEACH? NOISE AND SILENCE
Clearly there two moods at Zita. If Zita did proclaim that "lively hotel," he all but a club in terms of speakers who, at certain times, shouting the animations (especially Italian and French, English and German incidentally) and house music that can trigger orgasms between the ears. If "it rocks" as claimed by the offspring of gaily Visitor, it immediately opted for the vast sandy beach of a quiet enchanting ... In short, two very different atmospheres at a short distance allowing everyone to finally enjoy his happiness, was at the cost of multiple comings and goings ... (Distances are great in Zita) (provided that management does not connect the speakers, beach theoretically present but elegantly silent) ART HOTEL
Excellent room service, towels changed every date, real clean and from time to time, according to new traditions hotel, a charming fancy bedding ... (our rating: 4 triangles)
TO BE HAPPY, YOU MUST FIRST MUCH SLEEP
Spread over many buildings - great architectural achievement - the Houses of Zita not suffer much criticism, both for regular rooms and for those so-called family. Hear, in the latter case, a lounge room (with TV) joint separation-without-the-hall corridor on which open a bathroom (without drying vroom ...) and a separate toilet room for two + (no TV, this one ...) completely separated by a door to the lobby ... all beautifully decorated. (Moorish columns in particular). Two mini-flats: 1) no doubt had they been able to imagine two rooms each with a door 2) the lack of refrigerator while the ad hoc location has been well planned by the architects of talent Zita cons ... For a air conditioning top-modern, fully discrete, adjustable room! (Note: it no longer works if the door-windowing, which overlooks a small terrace, is not fully closed ...) Soundproofing satisfactory and satellite TV picks TF1, France 2, France 3, M6, Arte, French TV5 and Euronews! (our rating: 4.5 triangles) (almost perfect but no mini-fridge when it is really curious dodgers) PRIVACY IS THE LIFE COLLECTIVE DOSE HOMEOPATHIC
is clear: the new hotel Zita TRRRRES is a large complex, high-capacity factory hotel ... the miracle (Which are, nowadays, more and more rare) is that the space (17 hectares or around there ...) that can not ever feels smothered or crowded. .. (except perhaps in the rush hour in the equally large dining room, a real dead ringer for the hall ...) RECEIPT
If staff is generally very friendly, is one of the weaknesses of the new hotel Zita . A tourist from the former countries of the East (they are also few in Zita) may be right at home there. A formula, but amiable ritual at the slightest request, is "Sit So in a chair waiting ... "For each process (a ticket too morning for Internet access, a beach chair that is the problem ...), the decision must follow an administrative chain of evidence also mandatory mysterious ... (there is no safe in room, is where you can rent for 15 dinars a week if we are really very anxious ... It is also that rents in the week, beach chairs) (our rating: 2.5 triangles)
Woaw, CA IS THE HALL
Woaw! it is throws in the lobby of Zita ... Huge, impressive, architecturally friendly and very successful ... (Evening, the hall is also full of life) a little blown away by this mini Las Vegas Tunisian side, you install (the visitor had to wait an hour, the room not being ready, which is a tad annoying after a long day of travel ...) in a lounge area where you are served a fruit juice illico unfortunately rather unknown ... (Our rating: 4 triangles)
The huge front porch of the hotel will probably be your desert destination, but not for long. Your luggage (with your flip flops) will disappear quickly. (Carried in two local families; one collecting the "suitcases arrived," the other "bags start"), all fairly well guarded ... and huge glass doors hammered will introduce you to one of the most vast hotel lobbies that the Visitor (who has traveled extensively) has been discovered ... (our rating: 5 triangles)
From brand new terminal Djerba, taxi, anticipating a good time to transfer depending on the velocity and the modernity of véhicule.Vous borrow the old Roman road that connects Djerba the vibrant to the mainland and you find yourself, after greeting the olive trees, Zarzis, far more peaceful than Djerba ... The entrance of the hotel, obviously surrounded by tourist shops escaped from the field, overlooking the road and is carefully guarded. Most taxis do not even curiously, in ordinary times, the right to cross the great gate customs, forcing you to walk the very long driveway that leads to the entrance of the hotel and reception ... It's clear that both the road by the beach, it does not ZITA as in a mill (Oil Olive) ... (Our rating: 5 triangles)
FAVORITES and resentment, DIRECTIONS
Make a choice in the jungle of tour operators' catalogs and tour operators can take the lottery ... Especially when the hotel is almost new (spring 2006) with all that this book can sometimes be surprises ... And that internet forums are still uncommunicative ... The visitor who has gone this time (August 2006) Zarzis, he shares here, obviously in complete independence, his impressions of the hotel Zita renovated: favorites, little annoyances, good and bad points . And by taking this value unit Triangle, a graphic element found everywhere in this historic hotel in the history of the Tunisian hotel ... Which, if not evidence a boutique hotel, considering its size tourist, do not emit less charming aspects ... So here we give our opinion on a scale of 0 to 5 triangles, five triangles when it's nickel, a triangle when it's disappointing. Capito? as would our Italian friends, great fans already Zita ... (These are the lyrics to "Walking With Tongs," the excellent film "Camping" in lieu of wire to posts from this blog ...)
