Zu dreckig... zu teuer... für so eine desolate Einrichtung!
Pros:

Gute Lage - interessantes Aussehen und nicht weit vom Strand und ca. 2 Km. vom Zentrum (Medina)

Cons:

Der zu hoher Preis - 647 € für 15 Tagen für ein Bett in 7-ner Zimmer verlangt !!!

602.-- Euro plus 45 € cash vor ort für die Steuern und Gebühren verlangt ...

durchschnittlich über 43 € pro Tag für ein Bett im gemeinsamen Schlafsaal !!!

Die gemeinsame Dusche und WC sind sehr dreckig und in desolatem Zustand, Schüssel gesprungen, die Brause abgerissen etc...

Befestigung-Schrauben sind locker so dass Wasser auf den Boden ausläuft -
es brauchte Turnschuhe um nicht nasse Füsse zu bekommen...

habe es bei der Stv. Managerin beanstandet - habe sogar ein Privat-Zimmer-Upgrade verlangt...

jedoch wollte sie die bestehende Buchung nicht anrechnen / canceln

sondern hat sie noch dazu für die gleiche 2 Wochen noch ca. 1'800.-- € Aufpreis verlangt ...

Durch den Zulauf der einheimischen Gäste, die absolut Rücksichtslos gewesen waren - für die gab es keine Hausregeln - licht auf - laut 🗣️ um 2, um 5 Uhr morgens... wurde alles nur noch schlimmer!!!

ALSO DEFINITIV NICHT EMPFEHLENSWERT !!!

Pros:

Distancia hacia la playa y el aeropuerto. El equipo es amable

Cons:

Necesita mejorar mucho el orden, la limpieza y la experiencia en general. La habitación compartida es 0 recomendada, no se descansa bien y el baño está fatal. No recomendaría para más de 1 noche y apurando, y eso que por ubicación está bien.

Pros:

Très bel accueil! Nous avons adoré tout le personnel super sympa et ils ont été de bon conseil! Ils nous ont même facilité le tout puisque nous avons pu séjourner même pour la fête de l'Aïd alors qu'ils devaient être fermé! Ils ont été aux petits soins! Ce fut très apprécié! ( Merci aussi pour mon dos! 😉 )
Super de pouvoir louer surf sur place avec wet suit!

Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. L'accueil y est sympathique, à la fois chaleureux et plein d'attentions. La chambre est spacieuse, très propre, confortable et au calme. Rien ne manque côté équipements : minibar, prises pour les chargeurs, salle d'eau fonctionnelle et de grands draps de bain de qualité. Tout est réuni pour un séjour réussi.

Cons:

Un peu éloigné de la plage et de la Médina
