the breakfast had many options for the whole family (especially a nice variety).

i found the rooms rather run down and they needed a refresh. the staff were helpful but this did not fully compensate for the state of the rooms. the rooms, while clean, are not up to the standard i expect.

The staff at the buffet were really lovely and professional. i found the location to be great. It was just a short walk to the medina entrance. the hotel is right in front of the beach, well-equipped and feels very safe (i especially appreciated this).

I did find the hotel to be quite expensive for the area. The quality didn't entirely match the price. it wasn't a huge issue, but something to keep in mind.
