The perfect place to rest, exercise in a wonderful pool relax at the bar eat very good food and enjoy one of the most wonderful staff from the reception to the house keeping , the waiter etc absolutely the best place to finish your adventure in Tunisia
Great pool and beach area. Service was awesome. I did think the food at the indoor restaurant's was little pricey so I ate at the bar and the pool bar.
Great hotel! Oh, yea, the spa- I received the 4-treatment experience, amazing and affordable!
Room was good.
For the type of environment you are professing to be EVERY staff member should be kind and courteous.
I did not see it or feel it. A few bad ones can ruin a rating. As a medical provider, no one was around the spa area downstairs. If someone were hurt or passed out, no one would know until another visitor went downstairs. There was no water available like in other spas. No place to put towels>>> attention to detail..simple things, no costs added, could be done.
Outstanding hotel, we can’t wait to come back. The staff was terrific. The hotel property, architecture, pool, beach, everything was wonderful. It’s so nice to stay at a hotel where you feel so well looked after. The slice of delicious birthday cake with birthday wishes left in our room as a surprise by the hotel staff was above and beyond.

It sì a very beautiful place and people of the hotel is really Kind.
Extraordinary service, immaculately clean and beautiful inside and out. Loved returning to our hotel at the end of a day filled with excursions to warm welcomes and the heady scent of orange blossom and jasmine in the air. It’s a true sanctuary to rest and relax with top bedding and comfortable sleep.
This is a really beautiful building and resort area. I would highly recommend it for a family getaway and will almost certainly do so when its summer again. Highlights for me were the spa area, the grounds and outdoor pool area, the short distance from the airport, and the delicious meals.
Spacious and elegant hotel, staff friendly, attentive and efficient. The international restaurant lacks interest but the Tunisian offering makes up for it. The lunchtime facilities lack a really interesting light offering and no alternative to the poolside location when the weather is uninviting.
Beautiful hotel and more importantly, really great people! The level of service is on another level. We had fresh roses in the bathrobe, next to bathtub, table, side table etc etc.
Breakfast was amazing with lots of options.
Exceptionally clean including beach area and grounds. Most of the staff were very friendly. Excellent buffet breakfast. Several dining areas with authentic tunisian food. Everything we expected and more.
The beach is very good and organised. The rooms are very clean. The dining options are decent but the Chinese restaurant is just average. The WiFi is really fast.
