saltwater poolconvenient location
i enjoyed the convenient beachfront location. it was easy to walk to the medina and beach from there. i appreciated the indoor heated saltwater pool (it felt very relaxing after a day of exploring). the staff was very attentive near the beach area.
The location was very convenient near the beachfront. It allowed for easy access to the medina with just a short walk. the breakfast was acceptable. the room offered a good amount of space and included a spacious balcony.
unfortunately the shower did not function as expected. the air conditioning system also had some issues. these problems.
