Vincci Nour Palace Resort Reviews
" Going along with previous comments on... "
Submitted By: Mr N Stainton
Going along with previous comments on this hotel, I must agree with other people when they say how poor this whole operation is. The staff were rude and not at all accommodating.
Given English was not their first language staff did well in communicating - this was about the only good point to mention.
The pool is large and accommodating but only staffed by 2 life guards which are not able to see the whole pool which can be a problem if you have children. Also the beach is in similar circumstance in that there is one life guard who usually sits near the back of the beach on a chair clearly with no vision of the sea. And to also not that there is an indoor pool with no lifeguards.
This definitely was not a 5 star rating. The rooms were hot as the air conditioning only worked when your key card was in the electric slot which meant you had to be in the room for it to cool down.
Overall weather was great its a shame the sunshine is wasted on such an establishment.

" Just come back from two week stay at... "
Submitted By: Mrs B Blake
Just come back from two week stay at this hotel with our two children and had a fantastic stay. The rooms were large, clean and well air conditioned.
The staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is used to dealing with Italians, Tunisians and the French therefore English is possibly their third or fourth language, however they do speak English. The food was Mediterranean and Tunisian fayre and well worth trying. If you are planning to go have booked to go, embrace the people, the place and culture.
Try to speak French if you can it will be appreciated. There is a small mall of shops and restaurants to the right of the hotel that serve cheap meals. The beach is safe and clean, and the pools are great. We would recommend this hotel and hope to return in the future.

Good points:
The weather and that’s it.
Bad points:
This is definitely not a 5 star rating, the rooms are like a travel lodge in Britain. There is one English speaking channel on the TV.
I found the reception staff rude and the manager also, the people who were nicest were the waiters.
The drinks were all extra, and over priced. The reception area does not have a queuing system and therefore the reception staff are dealing with 5 different people at once and because of this it took me 45 minutes to check out.
The meals were poor and the entertainment was all in Italian, so there is no night life there. Only go to this hotel if you get a really cheap deal, its not worth it otherwise, and make sure you don’t get burnt by the sun otherwise you will not be allowed in the pool with a t-shirt on to protect your skin. (This included a 9 year old boy who could then not go in the pool for 2 days).

" Never again! 5* hotel? No way! 5*... "
Submitted By: Miss S Blown
Never again! 5* hotel? No way! 5* prices? Definitely. Flies crawling all over the buffet food, awful wine starting at £13 for a 1/2 bottle, dirty beach, dirty pool & flies everywhere, threadbare towels, poorly cleaned bathroom, poor hygiene in general actually.
Quadruple plus UK prices for mini bar (all hotel beverages outrageously overpriced), single sheets on a double bed, one English TV channel (TV caters well to Germans), no water etc can be brought into hotel if purchased elsewhere, not much around outside of the hotel beware of persons in town pretending to be employed in your hotel & wanting to 'show you something'. You have been warned. Great weather though.

" Bit of a long transfer to get here... "
Submitted By: Mrs Y Roberts
Bit of a long transfer to get here but once arrived we had a great time here relaxing.
<br>
Service was very good as was the Food.
If we had young children they would be well catered for by the animation staff.
<br>
Plenty to do here in the hotel, organised activities throughout the day, entertainment on the evening, plus having massage, sauna, etc plus the bonus of there being a Spa Centre attached to the hotel. Certain times the 10 pin Bowling alley had offers on the cost of playing.
<br>
We had a great time chilling out here as we have all ready been to Tunisia and done the usual tourist trips.
<br>
Would go again for a relaxing holiday. <br>

" AWFUL...What a disappointment, the... "
Submitted By: Mrs S Wesolowski
AWFUL...What a disappointment, the location is terrible, the beach is dirty, the hotel is supposed to be a 5star but the rooms were more like a 3star (travel lodge style - very basic, we had paid extra for an upgraded sea view as well!).
<br>
The food was repetitive, hotel staff very unhelpful, the weather was cold and wet. Don’t venture into town or you will get ripped off by the locals who are very intimidating. The hotel is very popular with Germans.
<br><br>
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel or Mahdia, I would rather go camping in Blackpool in December without a sleeping bag! <br>

Food is repetitive. Rooms like a travel lodge. Rude and clingy staff.
Bar prices are over the top, that’s why you can only get half board, as they want to sell you booze on site, as there are no other places to drink or any shops selling alcohol.
Pool and beaches are dirty as this hotel is situated on a headland with strong winds...but hey don’t let me put you off.....oh yeah nearly forgot...5 star on what planet?
