Give this one a miss no joke
Pros:

No hotel info in rooms. Doors that squeak, toilets that don’t flush, electrics that don’t work with bare cables hanging, no where to hang clothes other than in shower.poor breakfast offering -fried eggs served as omelette ,no tea making in rooms. No excursions no advice from reception . Pool cold and bar looks like it was a 70s smokers pub. No lifts to top floor restaurant!

Cons:

È una struttura vecchia avrebbe bisogno di più manutenzione. Però è comodissimo per visitare Essaouira e i bungalow con possibilità di parcheggio davanti sono utili.

Bufete no sirve
Pros:

Todo en general

Cons:

El bufete de desayuno no merece la pena por 8 euros en la calle comes lo que quieras no había 5 o 6 cosas para elegir y era para hacer ensalada de tomate y cebolla y no había ni zumo ni nada. El bufet no sirve

Pros:

La proximité de la Médina
La gentillesse du personnel
Les chambres spacieuses
Le jardin entretenu et sa grande piscine

Cons:

Les chambres si elles sont repeintes en blanc pour plus de propreté sont sans décoration aucune, ce qui rend l'atmosphère très froide.
Pas de tables de nuit.
Pas de téléphone pour joindre l'accueil.
Un éclairage très blanc comme dans un hôpital.
Le carrelage dans la douche est vieillissant avec joints noircis par le temps.
Des serviettes usées.
Des baies vitrées difficiles à ouvrir.
Des chaises longues en terrasse pleines de saletés...
En conclusion, un site qui n'offre pas vraiment les prestations d'un Hôtel prétendument 4* Étoiles
