Family run riad
Pros:

Family run for 20 years and very helpful.
There atmospheric resturant and bar with great options. Takes around 20 mins to walk to center or 80p in taxi.

Cons:

Nothing really, just shame the pool was being refurbished (Feb26). Was upgraded to better room

Pros:

2 seuls atouts: la vraie gentillesse du personnel marocain et le parking pour 6.

Cons:

Atmosphère sombre voire lugubre. Accueil : l'équipe marocaine est chaleureuse ; contraitement au couple franco-espagnol distant, voire pas du tout accueillant. Vous leur demander un radiateur d'appoint il vous répond "mais il ne fait pas froid Madame !!" alors que lui est attifé d'une doudoune car le froid est là!!

Équipements des chambres insuffisant (absence de chauffage donc..) et de prises électriques. Les clients doivent fournir leurs propres rallonges (on vous le dit sèchement "moi Madame je voyage toujours avec des rallonges, surtout dans un pays comme le Maroc" (bravo pour l'amour et le respect de ce Royaume) prevoir donc à la limite votre propre radiateur.. tout ceci témoignant d'un manque total d'infrastructures adaptées. Chambres à éviter impérativement : Rez-de-chaussée (aspect funéraire).
Pourquoi n'éclairent-ils pas leur Riad? good question.

Pros:

A perfect place to stay close to the beach, with a great breakfast and an excellent restaurant. A lovely promenade along the shore took us all the way to the fishing harbor and the medina, making it easy and enjoyable to explore the area. There was also a surf school just nearby, which was a big plus.

Ich war komplett zufrieden.
Pros:

Überraschend große und stilvoll eingerichtete Zimmer mit schönem Balkon. Sehr freundliche Rezeption. Interessante Architektur.

Cons:

Kleinere Mängel: Armaturen müssten mal wieder entkalkt werden, niedriger Wasserdruck. Aber nichts dramatisches.

Pros:

The breakfast was nice

Cons:

Our room was just by the kitchen and in the evening and morning there was a lot of noise coming from the kitchen and also smell of food. Which is not nice while sleeping or trying to sleep.

Excellent all the way around.
Pros:

It’s was fantastic! The staff super friendly without being fake for tourists. Genuinely interested in your well being. Went out of their way to girder a car for us at an unusual early hour, placed a space heater in our room when it got chilly without us asking. I forgot a blouse in the closet and they contacted me right away. And the food! Amazing. Never had better Spanish food outside of Spain.
