great locationprompt room servicecomfortable bedac issuesled lights
the hotel is in a great location. the room service was prompt and efficient. i had a luxury king room sea view that had a comfortable bed and nice amenities (i slept really well).
I noticed one was out of service. the air conditioning had some issues, and there were times it did not seem to work properly. there were small led lights on some of the sockets (they were a distraction at night).
The staff was very friendly. our room included everything i needed. the pool was a good size and clean. breakfast had many options. I especially liked the arabic sausage. the location was very convenient with short taxi rides to local attractions, costing no more than 12 dirhams.
the tv had limited english channels!

Sometimes I had to wait a long time. There were also some recurring issues with the air conditioning in my room it wasn't consistent. The service was disappointing too because the lobby coffee shop was often unmanned. I think they could improve some things.
