"Le The Residence Tunis est, sans aucun doute, mon hôtel préféré en Tunisie. Cela fait plus de sept ans que j’y séjourne régulièrement avec ma famille, et chaque visite confirme pourquoi j’y reviens toujours avec autant de plaisir. Dès que l’on franchit les portes de l’hôtel, on ressent une atmosphère de calme, d’élégance et de raffinement. Les espaces sont magnifiques, les chambres sont spacieuses, confortables et impeccablement entretenues. La grande piscine est superbe et entourée d’un jardin luxuriant qui mène directement à une magnifique plage privée, parfaitement aménagée. C’est un véritable havre de paix où il est facile de se détendre. Le spa mérite également une mention toute particulière. Les installations sont magnifiques, la piscine du spa est exceptionnelle et l’ambiance est propice à une détente absolue. Les massages et les différents soins sont d’une qualité remarquable. Un grand merci à Hossine pour son professionnalisme, son accueil attentionné et la qualité irréprochable de son service, qui rendent l’expérience encore plus mémorable. La restauration mérite également d’être soulignée. Le petit-déjeuner est exceptionnel, varié et généreux, avec des produits de grande qualité. Les dîners au restaurant L’Olivier sont tout aussi excellents. Installé sur une magnifique terrasse, à l’ombre des oliviers, le restaurant offre un cadre paisible et raffiné qui rend chaque repas encore plus agréable.
