"Very difficult to find this place in a dingy area. The staff appeared less than happy to see us. They offered no maps nor recommendations for places to eat - a bit useless really. The ocean view was fantastic but the bed was uncomfortable. Neither of us slept well for the two days we spent. Still nice to open the window and listen to the ocean! Shower worked very well with plenty of hot water."

"Very friendly welcome. Always felt safe. Wonderful breakfast, the fresh orange juice was delicious. My only reason for a slightly lower score was the accessibility in our room. It was a stunning room but the tiled stairs coming out of the bathroom were a big hazard. My husband (fit, active 30 year old) slipped and has fractured his elbow. Might be worth more than one bath mat being provided in this room to avoid this happening to anyone else. "

"First of all, we were supposed to stay at the Riad , once we got there, we were told that the room we reserved they are doing construction on it , we were given an apartment outside of the Riad in a scary neighborhood, the apartment sheets , blankets and pillows so stinky! When we ask the lady that we don’t want to stay here , she simply responds with you can cancel if you want, on the top of that , they asked us to pay fee that it’s called a property taxes cash , which it’s already paid in the...
