We had some absolutely gorgeous and luxurious accommodations up to this point of our trip, so perhaps I’m judging this space unfairly. The grounds are beautiful! A spacious pool setting was an excellent space to enjoy our fellow travelers after a very long day. The restaurant had some of our best food across the whole trip. It’s served buffet-style and was enjoyed by those of us who were new to Moroccan cuisine as well as some who were well-versed. The service was excellent. They offer beer and wine in the buffet area, and you can go to the bar for cocktails. It was clear from looking around that this hotel services many, many large tour groups. If you want something more intimate, look elsewhere. The rooms were not excellent. They were perfectly fine. Our room was clean and spacious, but our friends said their room was not; loose hairs on the sheets is an example. The pillows were terrible and the sheets themselves were not soft. To at least giver the impression of cleanliness, I prefer all white linens and these beds had colorful spreads, which I found off-putting. The bar was bright, loud and perhaps it was in-keeping with the local desert culture, but to those of us from Texas, both it and the gift shop felt a lot like touristy Mexico or a road-side attraction hotel. They were drawbacks and I’d steer clear of them. Just focus on the beauty of the pool area.
