a mixed experience

breakfast spreadmany optionsrun down roomsneeded refresh
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.

fantastic stay by the sea

professional staffgreat locationsafe beachhigh price
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.

The staff provided a very high level of service from arrival. My room had a big window onto a terrace with a great ocean view. I especially liked the complimentary beach beds, a huge perk! The beach restaurant offered excellent food.
The breakfast room felt a bit uninviting and was noisy. The carpets in the hallways could use replacing.
