The property seems to have had minimal maintenance for a very long time. The room had a good bed, a big couch and a well
Pros:

The location is excellent.

Cons:

The room was not secure. The door to the common balcony could not be locked. It wasn’t really able to be closed properly.

Cons:

Ett Hotel som definitivt inte har 4 stjärnor mer än förbläget. Slitet, trasigt och smutsigt!

Déçue
Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Les équipements très vetustes. La douche fuit la baignoire jacuzzi ne fonctionne pas la terrasse tres sale.
Nous avons pris une chambre pour trois personnes mais juste un lit 2 personnes et un canapé sans oreillers ni draps...
Le petit déjeuner a 8.00€ sincèrement c'est abusé. Il n'y a rien de spécial et d'oriental.

Arnaque totale
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Chambre : Draps douteux(propres?) déchirés et troués. Odeur de moisi. Frigo moisi. Table délabrée. Porte délabrée. Cumulus cassé abandonné à côté de la porte d’entrée.
Hôtel : carrelage autour de la piscine délabré. Signalétique délabrée. Allées délabrées.
Salle pt dej sinistre.

Arnaque totale pour un 4 étoiles, même au Maroc!
Rapport qualité /prix catastrophique.
A éviter absolument.

Je connais cet établissement depuis longtemps et à chaque séjour, je l'ai vu décliner, ce sera mon dernier séjour, si rien n'est entrepris.
