“Third visit”

I had not stayed at the hotel for a few years, but upon my return found it refurnished, with a new infinity pool overlooking the beach. This was beautiful. Everything is near to hand, with the small but clean beach in front of the hotel. It is a pleasant walk along the beach into town (30 minutes). This older resort area is a far nicer place than the concrete tourist ghetto at Yasmine Hammamet. Breakfast is good, but avoid the half board with dinner. For the latter there are bizzare seating regulations in place - we were constantly directed to sit at the bright rear of the restaurant - instead of the pleasant front, where supposedly 'reserved' (but unmarked) empty tables remained so until the restaurant closed. Waiters pleasant by day became aggressive about this in the evening. It spoiled dinner every time. 'Sea view' rooms are on offer for a supplement. Avoid this, as rooms are near the sea but have no sea view.

“Lovely setting, gardens, beach”

Spacious room, cleaned each day (with petals arranged on my pillow.) Good modern bathroom with full-sized bath and shower cubicle. Fluffy bathrobes. Dinner was often a buffet - plenty of choice but a bit samey after a few days. Loved the bar by the infinity pool - watching the sun set and the moon rise, listening to the waves and sipping wine. Friendly, helpful staff. Free internet access in lobby. Clean private beach with loungers and parasols. No beach activities at the hotel but further down the beach to the south. 20 mins walk along the beach or the road to Hammamet town.

“Best hotel in this price range in Hammamet or Sousse”

It is the third time I have stayed here in the last 12 months. It is a 5 star hotel in its service as well as its appearance, unlike many hotels that have the look but don't live up to it so far as service goes. I got the impression that all the staff were specifically trained to deal with clients and offer a high level of service not just "plonked" there as with many hotels. Rooms I had have always been impeccable. This is the best hotel I've visited in Sousse or Hammamet in this price range.

“Beautiful, relaxing hotel”

The Sindbad Hotel was beautiful. The room was of a really high standard, they even left fresh flowers on our pillow one day. There were little walkways all around the hotel, with well manicured gardens that are lovely. The resort had 4 restaurants. We tried them all, and were really happy with everything. Staff were friendly and polite, we didn't have any issues. It was pretty quiet there, maybe it wasn't peak season yet and there wasn't a ton of things to do, but if you're happy lounging by the pool, reading a book and waiters happy to bring over food and drinks, then no problem. We didnt see much of the surrounding area, but did visit the medina. They did try the hard sell, but I wouldn't say there was any hassling at all. it was all fun, and there was a great selection of stuff to check out. The only problem with the whole trip was getting a taxi from the hotel back to Tunis airport. The rate the hotel charged was far above what we thought we should pay, compared to the taxi we got on the way there. So we ended up asking a local taxi, who arranged a driver to take us back. All in all, great holiday.

“Very good hotel in Hammamet”

The attention at this hotel is outstanding and the food is excellent. Even though the building might be a little outdated, the whole experience is fantastic. We had a terrific time here and everyone in the hotel did their best to make it such. As we booked half board, we were not in the a-la carte restaurant; however, if you go there they give you a discount acknowledging the fact you already pay for dinner. But even without going to the other restaurants, the menu is incredible good: 5 choices for appetizer, main course and desert. They try to make one vegetarian of each and the rest has a good variety (for example, the main course might be beef, lamb, chicken, fish and one vegetarian dish). The only thing we did not enjoy was the wine price: it was double the price compared to everywhere else, including other 5-star hotels such as La Kasbah. However, prices are still pretty good compared to Canada or Europe I would recommend it to everyone that wants to relax and enjoy good food.

“Brilliant Trip”

Hotel Sinbad is a great hotel about an hours drive from Monastir Airport. It's a 5 min cab from the centre of Hammamet and a short walk along the beach from it also. The hotel itself is clean and the staff are very friendly. It is decorated simply with traditional white-wash walls. The rooms are of a very good standard, are clean and have plenty of facilities (our room had a seperate living room and 2 plasma tvs!), most are facing the hotel's well kept gardens. By far the best part of the hotel is the pool bar which overlooks the gulf of Hammamet, here you will be pampered with great service, food, drink and plenty of space to lay back and have a drink or sit under a parasol and relax. Staff here are great and always on hand to help whether it be to prepare a sunbed, create a good cocktail or give some good local info on places to go and see. All in all Hotel Sinbad is a good hotel that we'd certainly consider returning to.

“Solid Hotel”

I stayed at the Sindbad Hotel for 2 nights in May 2010. Pros: 1. Clean and comfortable room with a big bath room (separate shower, bath tub, and toilet). 2. Good breakfast 3. Nice beach and pool 4. Very good spa Cons: 1. Overall, the hotel and all facilities are rather old 2. In terms of overall standard, it's probably closer to a 3-star than a true 5-star hotel - especially when compared to hotels in Dubai 3. Food served in the pool bar was not fresh. I had some bad calamari 4. Prices for services, e.g. spa, food, drinks, etc. - not quite commensurate with the service, ambiance and quality Nonetheless, a solid a hotel worth staying at.

“Beautiful hotel in beautiful situation”

The Sindbad is a beautiful, well-run white-painted modern moorish style hotel. All the accommodation is in two-storey blocks reached by shaded arcades and set amidst lush gardens full of bougainvillea, palm trees and Carthaginian archaeological relics. The rooms are elegant and comfortable. Maybe public rooms (and entertainment) are a little bland, but spotlessly clean. The facilities are excellent, staff are friendly and helpful and the situation couldn't be better - right on the wonderful Hammamet beach, with a great restaurant on the beach, bathing terraces and an infinity pool – and just a 20 minute stroll along the beach to Hammamet centre. The breakfasts are great, and so are the buffet dinners but the fixed menu meal on alternate nights are a little bland. Fortunately, there is a great cutprice Thai menu on site for a change. All in all, a perfect venue for a relaxing getaway do nothing holiday.

“Great Weekend”

Went to this hotel during EID from Tunis and they never missed a beat even though for the first few days they were still fasting. This hotel is a great place to go and relax. Great service from the front to the guys on the beach getting towels, drinks, setting up chairs. Upon arrival we were offered an upgrade to a 3 room suite that overlooked the sea for our family of 6 rather than 2 small rooms we had booked. Great food, catered well to the large group of 13 that we had so we could all sit together at meals. Nice Beach front.
