Really good Riad Experience

attentive stafffresh ingredientsexquisite hammammultiple lounge areas
I appreciated the attentive staff.. they were always available and ready to assist. The meals featured fresh local ingredients, and the chefs prepared everything with care. I particularly enjoyed the spa services. The head massage and hammam were exquisite after a day of exploring. The riad provided many relaxing spaces, including two pools and multiple lounge areas.
The location is a bit tucked away, so finding it initially can be slightly challenging.

The staff provided helpful tips and information. They gave us a detailed map with directions and advice on places to visit and prices (which I found very useful).
I was a bit disappointed by the rooftop pool. It looks nice in photos, but it was smaller than I expected, and sometimes felt too crowded with other guests. It's hard to relax when you are bumping elbows with other people.
