Bella esperienza
Pros:

La struttura e' complessivamente molto carina. Offrono la colazione standard marocchina con in piu' le uova.

Cons:

La pulizia dell'area intorno alla piscina e' da migliorare. Ho cenato nel riad e l'opzione vegana e' stata deludente: te' alla menta, insalata, verdure stufate (Tajine vegetale) e macedonia di frutta con anche pezzi decongelati (frutti di bosco) a 18 euro. Anche qui, nel bel mezzo della notte, si sentono i richiami della preghiera.

I would definitely stay there again, if I may go back to Essaioura.
Pros:

We stayed in the family apartment in top floor. Apartment had two bedrooms, large living room, bathroom and kitchen - plenty of space for our family. It also had a private rooftop terrace, although it was quite windy up there.
The dinner served on the terrace was very good, authentic Moroccan food.

Cons:

There aren't any restaurants or supermarkets in the nearby streets. However, you'll find some within 10 minutes walk so that's not a big issue.
The swimming pool is small and mostly in shadow all day, so we didn't spend time there.

Friendly staff but damp room and no alcohol to be consumed in the open areas
Pros:

The receptionists at the hotel were very friendly, especially D? (Sorry, I can't remember her name). The spa treatments were really good too. The cleaner ladies were also very pleasant. The nearby beach is beautiful. This place is great for surfers and kiters.

Cons:

The room was damp and there was no a/c. The balcony door was the only way to get fresh air in, but when open, ants, flies and mosquitos came in. The bathroom window was jammed.
The breakfast was okay, but just standard. The roof terrace is lovely when the sun shines, but no alcohol can be consumed here, even if you buy your beers at Carrefour, something that should have been stated in the hotel description. The pool is tiny, more like a bathtub.
