It's a beautiful place, the food is really tasty and the location couldn't be better.
Unfortunately the staff, and in particular one person really made our stay quite unpleasant.
He was always saying stuff under his breath in Arabic with a slightly aggressive undertone when he crossed us, and when confronting him and asking what he said he simply did as if he said nothing with a smug smile. He aggressively takes away the plates from under you, slightly shoving you to the side out of nowhere, he also nearly impaled a friend's mouth while he was still eating a skewer, shoving the plate against his hand and with the metal skewer in his mouth. Which could've been an honest mistake, but a very dangerous one and that with a bit of attention would not have been possible.
He then at the end bluntly made a Chinese greeting to me, while saying made in China to me. I'm not Chinese, but even if I was, I don't need someone making fun of me, my heritage or nationality.
It's a pity, the other colleagues weren't actively participating, but they seemed to laugh as well at his jokes. It left a bitter taste to what should've been a great stay. Hope the hotel sorts this situation with the staff, as the actions of 1 staff member overshadows the hard work of everyone taking care of the rooms, the food, the facility,...
It could all be a misunderstanding, but I highly doubt it as we were with a big group and many felt the same. And even if it was, simply having the feeling that the staff is constantly insulting you under their breath...

They spoke really good English and were genuinly interested in making sure we had a perfect time!||||As we arrived early - and as a group - the rooms were not ready - but not to worry! We enjoyed the sun and cold drinks in the shade of the hot sun. ||||Shortly after lunch arrived. Very tasty and plentiful.

Read moreI loved this hotel. It occupies a huge area and the room are spread out all over the property. The reception, bar and restaurant are in one building and overlooks the pool. The pool itself is big and clean with sun loungers and tables to sit around in the open. Staff is excellent and helpful. Food is great and there is a huge variety. After eating tagines for a while it was a wonderful surprise to eat spaghetti and meatballs. They were delicious! We also got chicken and beef brochette at the buffet! That's something I haven't seen anywhere else! The rooms are spacious though a little spartan in decor, but the beds are super comfy. The bathrooms are also pretty big with separate toilet, basin and shower areas with privacy between them. Outside the room there was a small table with 2 chairs. We really appreciated this, as we had our coffee sitting there listening to birdsong in the cool early morning. They are also developing an area for campers and large caravans. We met some people who had been traveling from Germany in their camper. All in all for me, this hotel was by far one of the best hotels I've stayed in on my 15 day trip to Morocco, but that of course is my...
