excellent locationsaltwater poolattentive staff
the location was excellent! it's an easy walk into the medina and a stroll on the beach is simple. i enjoyed spending time in the indoor heated saltwater pool. the staff was attentive in the beach area near the hotel. twice.
i enjoyed the good size of the pool and it felt warm. staff were helpful and friendly. They tried hard to assist and solve the issues with the clean rooms. BUT they looked a bit run down.
The shower DID NOT work properly and this was annoying. air conditioning also had problems. It. i hoped for a higher standard for the cost.
