“Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay strikes me as a stylish Moroccan retreat, skillfully blending Andalusian-Moorish architecture with Asian design. Its all-pool villa concept, coupled with private beach access and diverse dining, creates a luxurious experience, though some guests have reported issues with pests and service inconsistencies. I find its location near cultural sites like Chefchaouen appealing for travelers seeking both relaxation and exploration.”
