A Good Stay

The road is beautiful. I found the rooms fine. There were lovely places to rest on all three floors. Breakfasts and dinners were served on a beautiful roof terrace. The staff looked after us so well. Aziz and Soufiane were particularly cute and helpful.

The room was a bit small, but it was still sufficient for my needs.
