First time in Tunisia. The hotel was chosen based on reviews. They settled in right away. Room on the second floor with a view of the neighboring hotel, but we did not plan to sit in the room. From the room to the sea - 80 meters. The beach is big enough and clean. At any time of the day there are free sun loungers and umbrellas.

First time in Tunisia. The hotel was chosen based on reviews.
They settled in right away. Room on the second floor with a view of the neighboring hotel, but we did not plan to sit in the room.
From the room to the sea - 80 meters. The beach is big enough and clean. At any time of the day there are free sun loungers and umbrellas. The beach and entry into the sea are sandy and gently sloping. The sea, 10 meters from the shore, is deep, clean. But near the coast, except for the natural suspension from the sand, it cannot be called clean. Anything can swim.
The room is normal, like everywhere else. Everything is clean, neat, everything works.
The territory is small, clean, well-groomed. The center of the territory is occupied by a swimming pool with a big problem to find a free sun lounger.
The food is excellent, no complaints about the service. The staff, for the most part, speaks four languages other than native: French, English, German, Russian. There was only one problem: all the announcements, inscriptions, etc. - in French. So, knowing English doesn't help.
Pretty good surrounding infrastructure. On one street, a kilometer from the hotel, the city center with shopping centers, a bazaar, an amusement park, a cinema, etc. On another street, promenade to the port, 1.5 km, with its own entertainment establishments. I really liked the excursion to the safari park (you can do it without an excursion, by taxi, it will be cheaper).
And as a tip, don't sign up for Thai and Italian restaurants. Not only will you be served a menu in French, but whatever you choose, these will be dishes from the main restaurant, where you can combine whatever you want and how you want.

Great hotel, I recommend! Well-trained staff, well-groomed territory. Delicious food and alcohol. Great location near the center but away from the noise of the center. We lived in a room overlooking the sea, the room for 3 was large, with a huge bed, 2 bathrooms. Everything is clean, tidy, air conditioning and everything else worked properly, no complaints.

Great hotel, I recommend!
Well-trained staff, well-groomed territory. Delicious food and alcohol.
Great location near the center but away from the noise of the center.
We lived in a room overlooking the sea, the room for 3 was large, with a huge bed, 2 bathrooms. Everything is clean, tidy, air conditioning and everything else worked properly, no complaints. Cleaned up every day.
Every day for lunch / dinner there was fish, pasta with seafood. In the morning waffles, pancakes, donuts, yoghurts. Ice cream all the time + at the bar all day - delicious. Coffee from the machine - everything is very edible and there was always plenty to choose from.
They smoked hookah on the territory - they didn’t really like it, weak, but it’s not for everyone. Alcohol worthy everywhere - both clean and in cocktails.
The staff all the time takes care of the territory, well done. Smiling, responsive. We spoke English all week. Attention for those who go there - they do not speak Russian anywhere. Either English or French. 80% of tourists are foreigners, which pleases!
No one bothers on the beach (sellers), one of the lifeguards is always on duty and keeps order.
The sea is beautiful, the only negative is a bunch of plastic that floats ashore, it is thrown directly from yachts into the sea... Plus, the streets are also dotted with it, which is sad... Every day I collected it from the water, most of course, it doesn’t matter - with a pen waved and swam on (
In general, I recommend the country and the hotel!

Excellent hotel. Yes, it is not super new, the area is not large, but very well maintained and everything is very nice and clean. The location of the hotel is just great. You can walk to the Medina (city center), you can go to the children's amusement park, you can go to the port - everything is within walking distance.

You can walk to the Medina (city center), you can go to the children's amusement park, you can go to the port - everything is within walking distance. (markets, pharmacies, cafes). Pleases the beach, which is on the territory of the hotel, besides, if you thank the waiter from the beach bar, he will bring you drinks and food directly to the beach. The beach has a guard and a lifeguard. The staff is excellent. Everyone is very polite and smiling, good service. And if you thank them with a tip, believe me, the staff will turn your holiday into a fairy tale and give you the opportunity to feel special! In short, do not regret the tip, and you will see how much the quality of your holiday will increase.
Separately, I want to say about food. The food is delicious, which pleased - a lot of seafood (sea bream, cod, red mullet, mussels, squid, shrimp). What was not enough was different greens (lettuce leaves), cucumbers. And everything else is in abundance... fruits, desserts, meats, side dishes. Everything is delicious and there is a lot of everything. Always freshly squeezed juices.
Alcohol: I want to mention wine. Dry, always served in bottles and of good enough quality.
Animation is, not super active, but there. Guys animators are young and cool.
General impression: excellent hotel, beautiful, cozy, nice staff, everything is good in it. If you do not find fault with trifles and do not try to look for flaws (and they are always and everywhere), then in general everything is super.

The hotel was chosen for the price, according to the photo. In the hotel, in general, everything was fine. Everything in the room worked, no complaints. Liked the food too. The beach is normal, the location is good, you can walk to the center. The territory is normal, not big, not small, everything you need was there.

The animation is very light and quiet, I just don't really like it, so it was great for me. Those who like many different shows etc. should probably choose another hotel. I also did not notice the organization of any children's entertainment by the animators.

We chose the hotel based on the following principles: 1) wide sandy beach and convenient entry into the sea; the first line - by itself; 2) food "All inclusive"; 3) the spacious territory of the hotel; 4) walking distance to non-hotel infrastructure (shops, restaurants, entertainment areas, etc. ) 5) positive feedback about the hotel.

Vincci Taj Sultan met all our expectations. Unpleasant impressions remained only about the "very unobtrusive" Tunisian service: the employees are attentive and polite, but they are in no hurry to fulfill the requests and wishes of tourists, the cleaning in the room leaves much to be desired, key cards are often demagnetized. All these little things are a little annoying. A five-star hotel shouldn't have them.
Conclusion: a hotel with good potential, but falls short of the "five".

The resort area of Yasmine Hammamet, everything is well-organized for tourists. Leaving the hotel, you can walk along the promenade like in Nice, you can walk along the main street, where the Medina was built especially for tourists, there is the Carthage Land amusement park - for those with children, a lot of restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops.

The resort area of Yasmine Hammamet, everything is well-organized for tourists. Leaving the hotel, you can walk along the promenade like in Nice, you can walk along the main street, where the Medina was built especially for tourists, there is the Carthage Land amusement park - for those with children, a lot of restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. We looked at the country by taking two excursions: 1. Tunisia, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said; 2. Journey to the Sahara. The country after the revolution - all this can be seen on the streets, everywhere is dirty, as they explained to us that the public service does not work. But I liked the excursions very much, especially the Sahara, albeit tiring, but after driving 1300 km in two days, driving jeeps in the desert and reaching the place where Star Wars was filmed, feeling the drying desert wind, visiting a real oasis with "Chernobyl" size vegetation, camel riding, staying at home with a real Berber woman who treats you with homemade cakes with olive oil, and the stunning amphitheater "El Jem", where the Gladiator was filmed, and the impressions of visiting such a historical building have not left until now, one can only say Hurray for emotions from experienced. I can only add - do not buy anything without a fixed price, because. overestimation is sometimes tens of times. And be prepared for the fact that everyone wants a tip for any of your "sneezes", but this is already at your discretion.
The sea was cool during this period, I don’t even know, probably 17-18 degrees, and 23 degrees outside, but we swam)
In general, we are unlikely to return, but who loves historical places - we definitely recommend visiting!

First time in Tunisia. Impressions are very good, although before leaving we read all sorts of things - we drove with apprehension. But, in order: the operator Turtess - no complaints, flight cancellations, rudeness on the part of the guides (which Anekstur was very fond of on all of the above points). The hotel is not big, tired and not super clean.

The hotel is not big, tired and not super clean. This is where the cons end. The staff is friendly and efficient. Room cleaning is not delayed for "after dinner". Food and bars for 5+. I would like to warn you that there are a lot of pensioners in the hotel, so that whoever has fun is definitely not here. They took (due to lack of time) only one excursion-Tunis-Carthage-Sidi bou Said. I liked it very much, I was definitely lucky with the guide (unfortunately we didn’t remember his name, only that he studied in St. Petersburg).

I went to this hotel after reading the reviews and liked the huge pool in the photo. The fact that in Tunisia in early May is still winter, we were not warned. Upon arrival, the country met us with cloudy weather and rain, but on the second day and all subsequent ones it was hot, they put on hats on excursions so that the head would not get hot, then I can imagine how hot they are in the season from June, you definitely won’t go on excursions .

The hotel is very good, first of all the staff, and the FOOD is very tasty, varied, always on the grill seafood, mussels, tiger shrimps were freshly fried with us. The staff practically does not know Russian, only French or a little English, but it was not difficult for us to communicate. The pool is huge, the water temperature is pleasant, there were not many people in the hotel at that time, the sunbeds are always free, both near the pool and on the seashore. The sea was cool, I personally swam 10 times, it was difficult to climb, and then, you get used to it and swim without problems. One thing, the hotel was built a long time ago, and it would not hurt to carry out cosmetic repairs in some places. But this didn’t upset us at all, the main thing is that the rooms are very spacious, with two toilets and a separate bath with a shower, a large dressing room. In Turkey, the numbers are 2 times smaller!
As for the city - Hammamet is the best thing I saw in Tunisia, we drove through Sousse (when we went on an excursion) - this is a nightmarish city, the tourist zone is not separated from the zone of local residents, but in Hammamet, local residents are checked at the control at the entrance to the tour . zone (hotel zone) If you want to see the locals, go to the bazaar, take a taxi (they have it sooooo cheap, or ride a tuk-tuk pleasure tram)
Excursions: all the attractions they have are located quite far from the tour. zones, you need to drive at least 2 hours to the nearest! And it's a whole day to the Sahara, it's very tiring. I recommend - one excursion in 7 days of rest. I didn’t go to sugar myself, I had friends, spent 2 days, but they say that there’s nothing particularly interesting, only jeep riding from the dunes of the Sahara, Eljem (coliseum) and Kairouan (the 4th shrine of Muslims) there and the cheapest souvenirs in country. Total: it would be better if they took a half-day excursion to the same places, but they would not be so tired on the road.
Souvenirs: bargain, there were moments when we lowered the price from 60 dinars to 5 dinars!!!! ! It is better to buy in those stores where it is written - a fixed price. They have a lot of different leather products, all our tourists are stocked with handbags and shoes, for example, leather. a portly bag of very large sizes costs 300 hryvnias. and shoes from 15 hryvnia. Olive oil is beyond any competition and products from it - soaps, creams, etc. you will not regret. And Wine! Of course, there are enough of all sorts of knick-knacks, which then fall into dust at home))))
Bottom line: you must definitely go, I was in Turkey, so I liked Tunisia more !!!! !

Good hotel. You can safely put 5 points for the price-quality ratio. Of course, this, of course, is not the five that can be seen in Turkey or even in Egypt, but all the conditions for a comfortable stay are met. I will try to objectively characterize all aspects that may be of interest to potential tourists.

Good hotel. You can safely put 5 points for the price-quality ratio. Of course, this, of course, is not the five that can be seen in Turkey or even in Egypt, but all the conditions for a comfortable stay are met. I will try to objectively characterize all aspects that may be of interest to potential tourists.
1) Location. The hotel is located right on the beach, which is its undeniable advantage. Most of the other hotels are located in such a way that in order to get to the beach you need to cross the promenade. This, of course, is not a big problem (besides, the embankment is quite beautiful), but personally I still prefer to lie in the sun in the immediate vicinity of the room : )
2) Nutrition. Breakfasts are monotonous with a standard assortment (muesli, muffins, eggs, cheese, sausage, pancakes, vegetables, fruits). At dinner, the menu changed constantly. Meat and fish - in assortment. Desserts are not very good, but they offer ice cream 6 times a week : )
3) Numbers. If you book a regular room at the time of booking, without a sea view, you will be accommodated without a sea view, and the $20 trick, which works great in other hotels, will be in vain here. For relocation to the sea-view, a standard fee is set - 10 dinars ($7) per day per person. So it's cheaper to book in advance, if it's important. The room is decorated quite modestly, without frills, but there is everything you need. Cleaned regularly and even the bed is changed every day, if you do not skimp on tips. But for those who like to find fault, I’ll be honest - the furniture is slightly shabby, the towels are washed out, the TV remote control is sealed with adhesive tape... : )
4) Service. The serving staff doesn’t like to work too hard, you need to constantly motivate them with coins : ) Therefore, it’s better to “feed” the waiter from the first day. Then all the necessary utensils, and spices, and drinks, and napkins will be served in time. Usually 1-2 dinars is enough. to become a "friend" : )
5) Entertainment. The hotel is more suitable for a relaxing holiday. I saw the animators a couple of times, but they did not show much activity.
6) Surroundings. Hammamet-Yasmine has a very beautiful promenade, which is nice to walk along before or after dinner. It has many shops, hotels and cafes. Something reminiscent of the Crimean Yalta.
7) Weather and sea. In October it is still warm, but the wind is already blowing cold. The sea was stormy for 10 days, it rained a couple of times. But that didn't stop me from sunbathing and swimming enough.
8) EXCURSIONS!! ! This is what it is worth going to Tunisia for, no matter what hotel. We went on a one-day tour Tunis-Carthage and a two-day trip to the Sahara. In fact, this is not just an excursion to the Sahara, but a fascinating excursion around the country with a tour of the main sights. Much more than the desert, I was personally shocked by the amphitheater in El Jem. We were very lucky with the guide. For which special thanks to Carthage-Plus. Both excursions were conducted by a man named Alexei - a real connoisseur and, apparently, a great lover of his craft. Thanks to him, we saw, learned and, most importantly, remembered more than we could probably learn from the best guidebook.
9) Tour operator. The tour was booked through TUI, we were very satisfied. The organization of the holiday is excellent. Everything is clear and on time. The hotel guide is always ready to have a maximum of necessary information and is always ready to help tourists.
