tranquil riad stay

complimentary wine homemade sweets free shuttle private pool
The hotel provided a complimentary bottle of wine in my room. moroccan tea and homemade sweets were a bonus! i also appreciated the free shuttle service to the country club after busy souk visits. the country club has a private pool and garden about fifteen minutes away. It was great to relax.
The room was relatively small. There was no mirror inside the bedroom, only in the bathroom.

fantastic stay

great cooking class clear guidance cheerful atmosphere nice dining experience
The cooking class killed it! each station was fully prepared, and fathia provided clear guidance, ensuring i could easily cook chicken tagine. fathia's kindness shone through, and her beautiful singing voice added to the cheerful atmosphere. i enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with other guests after cooking. It was a worthwhile class.
the piano bar offered a good ambiance, but the service could have been more attentive and i felt the food was somehow a bit underwhelming. the pianist was wonderful!
