The Residence Tunis

A wonderful 5-star hotel, The Residence Tunis offers a fantastic relaxing experience while being less ostentatious and more authentic than other, perhaps newer, hotels operated by major international chains also located in Gammarth. The pool is huge, the sandy beach is very nice, the breakfast buffet is perfect, and the room was also very nice. But the real strength of this hotel is the exceptional hospitality of its staff. Managers can be proud of their teams, from the doormen to the front desk, from the poolside restaurant to the housekeeping staff and the main bar, everyone was kind and attentive. This hotel has a soul, if I ever return to Tunis, this is where I’ll stay for sure.

Absolutely nothing.

every things was good

nothing

Stylish hotel, friendly staff, great buffet breakfast.

It’s a shame the Chinese restaurant, Li Bao, is closed. There are some Chinese options on the menu in the main restaurant, but part of the appeal in Li Bao was the Chinese decor etc.

The room was nice and clean and we got upgraded. Fresh fruits and sweets were provided. Comfortable beds and a big bathroom with closet area. Nice view and beach nearby.

A lot of the amenities were outdated and lacked character for a 5 star resort. The place could benefit from a modern touch, maybe because it was off season but it felt deserted. The staff at the reception were not always welcoming and friendly and didn’t give helpful tips. The hotel is pretty secluded, 30 minutes from tunis city centre. Although the beach is nice, if you are looking for a resort stay we don’t really recommend during the March period season. Breakfast was extremely mediocre for a 5 star resort with very limited options. During this season expect most guest to be in the older bracket sometimes the vibes felt like a retirement home..
