Location is perfect. Property is historic and beautiful. You feel like king at your own palace. All the staff members I dealt with were super friendly and always smiling. Yasir was the one who I saw everyday and he is a super nice guy. He is very honest too (when I was paying for the 6 euro tax in person with dirhams, he gave me the exact exchange rate. I felt instant trust for him). Don’t hesitate to book. You will feel really good for spending your money for such amazing people.

I booked myself lunch at the open-air rooftop seaview restaurant prior to checking in as I knew my arrival was way too early. Right from the start, the staff made me feel very welcomed. After a really excellent dish of paella, I was walked to my room by the manager who happily explained all the workings to me! What a spectacular room! My word! And what a spectacular hotel! It would be easy to describe it as gaudy or kitsch even but they got the balance spot on! Terrific energy, awesome ambience! And to name the room I stayed in, ‘boudoir’, ha! Genius!
