As a frequent traveller I can honestly say that the level of service and quality at this hotel truly rivals that of high-end hotels in many countries, including such as NY and Dubai. The staff are exceptionally professional and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable. The facilities are spotless and well-maintained, with daily cleaning done to a very high standard. Whether you’re traveling with family (as we did), as a couple, or on business, this hotel delivers an experience that feels both luxurious and effortless. Highly recommend!

Hôtel agréable et confortable. Les responsables devraient interdir au personnes séjournant à l’hôtel de parler ou hurler lorsqu’ils ont une communication téléphonique . C’est très désagréable lorsque l’on se repose au bord de la piscine et que quelqu’un vient hurler à vos oreilles.Personnelles attentif et polis .

Bon séjour,calme et reposant mais il y a eu des petits bémols pour un étoilé. La femme de ménage ne passait qu’après 17h je trouve ça très décevant. Et pour le petit déjeuné en chambre nous avions que la moitié de la commande et nous avions dû contacté la réception à deux reprises pour avoir le complément. Je trouve cela un peu limite.

Manque d’hospitalité

Belle établissement sur un très beau site Jardin et espace extérieur bien entretenu avec une très belle vue sur la lagoon Chambre bien aménagée mais manque cafetière et bouilloire dans les chambres ce qui n’est pas normal pour ce type de standard Le point négatif est le service On ne ressent pas du tout la légendaire hospitalité marocaine dans cet hôtel Manque de personnel au beach club Kids club fermée car le personnel alterne entre le spa et le kids club Service Trop lent et pas efficace au petit déjeuné ( vraiment le service est a améliorer ) Ce point négatif nous a quand même laissé un souvenir mitigé sur cet établissement
