Memorable Three Night Sojourn

The staff was incredibly helpful at this lovely hotel... lending us a wheelchair when my aunt's knee went out. Breakfast buffet was superior. Their beach club restaurant across the street is quite nice and one of only a handful of eateries on the beach.

Decent hotel could improve by renovation.

Was a good stay overall, but it is not a 5* hotel probably a 3* as needs renovation to make it a higher standard. The staff are all hard working and made the stay pleasant especially the breakfast staff. Breakfast was the same whole week not much change. Would recommend as it’s across the road from the beach.

Our stay was at the end of a 10 day drive around Morocco. We were so happy to arrive at this beautiful hotel for a couple of days of rest after a long journey around the country. Clean, modern, right on the beach. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend this hotel.

Pictures of rooms are a little deceiving of room sizes, but the rooms are okay but a bit overpriced for what you get and its a "five star" the breakfast is never fully stocked ever, no plates, utensils or food options, the pool is small and very crowded and services are limited, definitely over priced for what you get and definitely doesn't feel like a five star so overall it was an average place, nothing special.

A great hotel allowing to enjoy swimming pool sheltered from the wind, private beach club and small spa, all within 5 min of the Medina ! Room was large with a nice balcony. Breakfast had good option range and was ok but not great. The facilities would benefit from more maintenance but overall package was still worth the price.

Walking distance to restaurants, attractions and the wide boardwalk and beach. Highly recommend. Note: the website pictures do not do this hotel justice! Pleasant surprise!
