Tunisia, along with Egypt, has for many years been one of the most popular African countries among tourists from Russia and the CIS.

As for Tunisia, one of the most popular regions of this country is Hammamet. It is considered a European-class resort and is famous for its luxurious hotels and magnificent beaches. If it is here that you decide to spend your vacation, then as a place to stay we suggest you consider the five-star Vincci Resort Taj Sultan. Today we will tell you in detail about what is offered to guests here, and also find out what impressions our compatriots have left from this hotel.
Location

This resort has long gained the fame of one of the most respectable in Tunisia. Due to the fact that the hotel is far from the city center, guests have the opportunity to relax in peace and quiet. However, if you have a desire to have a noisy and fun time, the resort is replete with bars, discos and nightclubs. You just have to choose an institution to your taste. In addition, many tourists come to Hammamet not only for a beach holiday, but also for anti-aging and wellness treatments, which this resort is famous for.

Thus, the path to the hotel will take you from one to two hours. 48 kilometers from Hammamet there is another airport located in Enfid. However, it is not as popular as the aforementioned air harbors. If you buy a tour through a travel agency, then you will most likely be provided with a transfer upon arrival.

Vincci Resort Taj Sultan 5 *: reviews 2014
In order for you to have a more complete picture of the Tunisian five-star hotel “Vinci Resort”, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the opinions of our compatriots who have been here this year.
As for the location of the hotel complex, its tourists have found it very successful. So, the beach can be reached in just a couple of minutes, within walking distance there is a beautiful promenade where you can take pleasant walks, as well as shops, restaurants, bars and several local attractions. At the same time, the hotel itself is quite quiet, and at night nothing will interfere with your vacation.
Regarding the rooms, most of the guests did not make any complaints. However, tourists recommend, if possible, not to take the rooms located on the first floor, as their windows do not always offer a pleasant view. Otherwise, our compatriots were mostly satisfied. So, the furniture in the rooms is comfortable, the equipment is in working order, cleaning and linen change are regular. In addition, all rooms are furnished quite elegantly, which evokes thoughts of France, as stated in the description of the Vincci Resort Taj Sultan.
Vincci Taj Sultan 5 * did not disappoint and lovers of good food. So, according to our compatriots, the diversity of the menu here is slightly inferior to the Turkish five-star hotels, but the quality of the dishes is invariably high. Therefore, no one will remain hungry here.
As for the hotel’s own beach, most Russians were quite satisfied with it. So, there is always a sufficient number of sun loungers and umbrellas, and you can also rent a scooter, a catamaran, enjoy water skiing and indulge in other water activities. There is also a snack bar on the beach where you can enjoy a variety of drinks as well as a snack. However, our compatriots were extremely surprised at the lack of pizza in the snack bar menu.
