Lovely Stay!

Our weeks stay was so peaceful and relaxing just what we needed. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble they went above and beyond. The cleaners came every day and were very serviable and discreet. They always left the bungalow spotless and neat. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent and the breakfast buffet was amazing. I would definitely recommend La Crique and we would return. Thank you

Un séjour inoubliable à La Crique !

Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux à La Crique, un endroit calme, apaisant, et idéalement situé avec une vue imprenable sur la mer. Le personnel était sympathique et accueillant, chaque repas était délicieux L'hôtel nous a mis en contact avec Ayoub (joignable au 06 66 17 79 97 ), un jeune sympathique, serviable et flexible.

Déçu

Il semble que votre expérience à l'hôtel La Crique n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes, malgré quelques points positifs. Voici un résumé des éléments que vous avez mentionnés : #Points négatifs : - Décoration florale manquante : Promesse non tenue concernant la décoration florale, avec une justification non convaincante de la part du personnel. - Menu très limité: Le choix des plats inclus dans la demi-pension est très restreint. Certaines options sont disponibles seulement moyennant un supplément, ce qui donne l’impression d’une offre plus étroite. - Qualité des repas: Le petit-déjeuner n'est pas à la hauteur d'un hôtel de cette catégorie, avec des plats préparés avec une quantité excessive d’huile d’olive. - Rapport qualité/prix : Pour un tarif de plus de 200€ par nuit, vous semblez avoir attendu une meilleure qualité et diversité dans les services offerts. #Points positifs : - Personnel: Les serveurs étaient agréables et accueillants, en particulier les serveurs et Amine, le capitaine du bateau, qui a laissé une bonne impression.

Déçue

Brièvement je ne conseille pas cette hôtel pour un voyageur seul. Il n’y a aucun intérêt, aucune possibilité de booker une activité, chaque fois que j’ai essayé il n’y avait pas de possibilité, de plus les retours sont fait que tardivement donc même pas de possibilité de t’organiser. Lors du check out on m’a proposé de faire un late check out pour au final me demander de payer en plus et de changer de chambre. Honnêtement, aux vus des commentaires et des avis je m’attendais à bcp mieux, et j’ai malheureusement été déçue. De plus, il y a une différence flagrante entre le traitement des gens venus en famille ou en couple et celui des gens seule. On le voit très clairement, un voyageur seule ne rapporte certainement pas autant qu’un groupe c’est la malheureuse conclusion que j’ai faites lors de ce séjour.

Magnifique séjour à la crique. Hôtel charmant calme reposant. Accès à un coin de plage privée magnifique. Excursions exceptionnelles : île du Dragon en bâteau avec Amine super sympa, coucher de soleil + feu de camp + repas festif dans le désert moment mémorable. Merci à notre femme de ménage Hajar qui a répondu à toutes nos demandes particulières. Et un merci tout particulier à Mickaël sans qui ce séjour n’aurait pas été le même, une gentillesse une serviabilité et un humour qu’on ne peut oublier ! À bientôt !

Bel établissement et belle vue

Hôtel est magnifique et bien situé avec une belle vue et de très beaux bungalows mais il faut améliorer la formation du personnel qui manque de pro activité : on va à la piscine et les serviettes sont proposées au voisin mais pas à soi. Pas de proposition pour manger ou boire alors qu’on attend au restaurant C’est assez surprenant mais le personnel reste néanmoins agréable Le restaurant est de qualité inégale et la pension complète ne comprend pas les boissons, même l’eau qui est d ailleurs très chère

What a great place to simply check-in and then "check out" to relax and unwind. Our four days/three nights was very enjoyable. Aside from the sailing excursion, there was no need to leave the resort, as dining and spa options were on-site. The restaurant staff was eager to assist and eager to please while the maid service was first rate.

We landed at 3am in Dakhla airport. A driver was waiting for us. At the hotel that is 10 minutes by car from the airport, two members of the staff were waiting for us and kindly guided us to our room. With our surprise, we realized that we were upgraded to a beautiful royal suite. Our amazing room, as well as all the other rooms , has a fantastic view on the lagoon which is subject to the strong tides and therefore constantly changes color during the day. During our stay everything was perfect: the courtesy of the receptionists, the quality of the excursions around the lagoon and in the desert, the proximity to the town and then possibility to reach the main beaches by shuttle. A special mention is for Khalid and his team at the restaurant. The hotel is perfect for persons interested to visit the area who are not kite surfers or for surfers who prefer to have the comfort of a good hotel and reach the beaches by shuttle. For us it has been a perfect week.

Hôtel paisible

Excellent séjour dans un cadre très agréable. L’hotel est fort confortable et le personnel très sympathique. C’est une petite structure isolée, sans plage, au bord d’une crique. Les seules sorties possibles le sont avec un véhicule loué ou non. Le système de navette entre les différents hôtels du groupe est très pratique et permet de passer la journée dans un autre cadre. Un bémol, le peu de transat au bord de la piscine (10) pour 17 chambres .... je reviendrai.
