We were only at this beautiful property for one night but oh we wished we could stay longer. The staff was welcoming, helpful and kind. The room, with windows to the ocean was beautiful and very comfortable. Plenty of hot water for a shower. Breakfast had so many options!

My wife and I absolutely loved this riad/hotel!! The hospitality and service is remarkable. All of the workers are so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast and dinner is delicious. Lastly, the ocean view from our hotel room was surreal and like a dream. We loved falling asleep to the ocean waves at night. The hotel has so much charm and is one of my all time favorite hotels and that’s coming from a world traveler who has been to a lot of hotels. My wife and I even went to the Atlas Mountains after our stay at the hotel and ended up immediately coming back to this hotel during the same trip since we missed it so much. I rarely write hotel reviews but this one certainly deserved it! We can’t wait to come back again soon.

Beautiful view, but the room needs renovation The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the panoramic ocean view from the window was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, the overall condition of the riad was not what I expected. The hotel is quite old and really needs renovation. The bedsheets and pillowcases did not look clean, and the room had a noticeable smell and felt very humid and outdated. The room did not feel as comfortable or fresh as I had hoped. Also, getting to the riad at night was a little uncomfortable, as some of the streets and the way there felt quite creepy. The friendly staff and amazing ocean view were definitely the highlights, but overall, I expected better for the price and would recommend some renovation and improvements to the cleanliness and condition of the rooms.
