"Myself and my friend are currently staying at the hotel two ladies middle aged from UK.
I’ll offer an honest and practical review.
Hotel
Spotlessly clean including communal toilets in restaurant and pool areas. They smell beautiful and are cleaned all day. Plenty of loo roll and hand washing facilities.
Food
We stayed half board, breakfast and evening meal. This is a small friendly hotel which we wanted so there are not mass choices but rather fewer choices but excellent quality, there is nothing either of us have selected that wasn’t on point.
Breakfast- various bread options although the toaster is not powerful and even though we sent the bread through several times it still re-appeared anemic. There are veg and salad options at breakfast that cater for people who want that. There are pastries freshly prepared, croissants and pain au chocolates and a few others. A couple of cereal and granola options, fruit and in hot plates some hot dog type sausages. Plenty of butter, jam, honey etc and 2 types of yogurt one natural and one flavoured. Hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs in hot containers. If you come out of the restaurant onto the patio by the pool there is an egg and pancake station where you can get fried eggs, omelette or pancakes freshly made to order.
Evening meal- there are 4-5 main course options made up of meat, fish and several differently prepared vegetables and a potato option. First night we had bed with mushroom in a gorgeous gravy with mash potato and fresh veg, lovely. Second night we had sliced turkey in a divine sauce with roasted veg and skin off baked potatoes also lovely. There is always a pasta and a rice option. The desserts are absolutely moreish. Small separate desserts of all types and of course have as many as you want. Drinks are table service and attentive waiters are on hand to take your order. You can pay for your drinks at the end of the meal by card or cash but we just have everything put on the room and pay it off every morning when we go down for breakfast.
Lunch- they serve a snack and meal menu at lunchtime payable with club sanwiches, toasties, steaks, omelettes etc although we think this can be hit and miss as chips looked nice when we saw guests eating them the night before but when we ordered them they were hard and greasy like they’d been re-cooked several times. I ordered a medium rare steak and even for me the meat was raw so I asked them to recook to medium and it was just right.
Drinks- cocktails other than the mojitos and pina coladas are vile, they are made with this over concentrated juice like stuff, not for us. Beers are by the bottle, corona and Budweiser and a few locally made options. Spirits are branded with lots of choice.Coke zero, sprite, Fanta etc. we found prices very reasonable in fact all prices in hotel are good.
Pool- clean but bloody cold
Rooms- we had 216 with a sea view, spacious and mattresses are firm but comfy, pillows are awful but my friend said they were fine, a matter of preference I’ve concluded.
Bathroom and shower again spotless clean plenty of towels, shower hot and right pressure.
Cleaners come in every day, make beds, clean and change towels.
There’s a safe and a fridge and kettle with coffee, tea sugar but no milk but if you call reception they will bring you some.
There’s a room service menu in room.
We also asked for robes and slippers. Nice touch.
Internet is terrible in room and in communal areas it is temperamental at best. We asked for assistant they bought a router to room and then internet was superb. We could then watch all uk channels and Netflix on tv with our own uk login details.
Spa- excellent and cheap compared to uk I went for relaxing 1 hour massage and it was around £25-30.
Cashpoint right outside hotel next door.
Taxis agree price before taking journey and pay no more than 50 dirham to marina or market
On the whole a lovely hotel, lovely staff who work hard with a smile. We would return"
