Southern Atlantic Coast Beach Hotel

"Clean rooms fair selction of food."

"The hotel is quite dated. The room was fine, although I had contacted the hotel prior to arrival asking for a cot to be provided. When we arrived there was no cot, they didn’t bring it until gone 10pm which was so late as the baby couldn’t go to sleep until it arrived. They also only provided 2 towels for the 4 of us so we had to ask for that too. Our balcony was huge but it was shared between 3 rooms and so people would just walk past our room so not much privacy. The pool was freezing cold so couldn’t really use it. The gym was really rubbish and shut for a lot of the day. The sauna you had to pay extra for and was only open certain times and my husband got asked to leave because it was women’s session even though no one was in there. The hammam I had was really nice, but the staff didn’t speak English so I had no idea what to do or what was going on. I have had hamman in the past where you can get a massage with it too but they didn’t seem to want to do that, really weird. The kids club, which was mostly the reason why we picked this hotel was rubbish. We went one day and the staff left so we were unable to leave our child there. The next day it was shut and then the last day it was open but no one in there. When I went to seek them out they said they weren’t going in the kids club but would be playing football which my daughter wouldn’t want. It was really rubbish. They should have a timetable like other places and stick to it. The hotel had a good location"

"Really amazing clean resort. "

"The reception area is lovely but the room was tired and the standard of decoration wasn’t great however we only really use the room for a place to sleep. We had a room facing the sea which also faced the main road, we found it to be quite noisy with cars beeping their horns at 3am and people arguing outside. The gym is almost the worst we have used in a hotel. The pool area was nice and the cocktails delicious. Be aware of a trick we found in the hotel bar and other places in Morocco where they say they can’t give you change and ask to keep it. The Padel courts on site were good, you have to pay extra for these. The breakfast was really nice but 2 of the days there was no clean cups or glasses. The person cooking the pancakes kept handling the food then picking her phone up in between which isn’t very hygienic. There are signs saying you can’t take your own food and drink in, we did see people carrying in some bottles water without being challenged. Overall for the price it was acceptable."

"We had an excellent time, loved the hotel and the staff were very helpful. The lady who runs the outside pool area is wonderful, as are the life guards, both work very hard to find loungers for you and ensure you have a good time. We stayed in a villa which was nice and peaceful. We would like to visit again"

"The room was impeccably clean, the staff were AMAZING, bed was very comfortable. The only thing is there was occasionally a sewage smell coming through the bathroom and it was very difficult to be ok with this. But it didn’t really matter than that it really "

"We would not return to this hotel. After arriving on Saturday, I began vomiting on Tuesday and my partner on Wednesday. We talked with other guests that were also sick after eating at the hotel restaurants. Having now searched for instances of food poisoning at this hotel, we can see this wasn’t an uncommon experience. Most of the buffet food is bland and some of it horrible, tasting genuinely off or unpleasant. The food is poorly labelled, with dishes under the wrong stickers or stickers missing. As a vegetarian, there aren’t many options - when I chose a cheese salad, it turned out to have some kind of squid in it. After asking a waiter, who asked a chef, they directed me to another salad, which had pieces of chicken in it. Some of the staff are lovely and friendly, but others are very grumpy and make you feel like you are an inconvenience. Our room was cleaned well but the rooms are dated and in need of renovation - there is mould in the bathrooms and a slight smell of damp. The private beach is a small area combed back from a stony beach with lots of plastic and (friendly but slightly concerning) stray dogs. The grounds of the resort itself are beautiful and the pools are lovely to swim and lounge by."

"Room was clean hotel is lovely however the rooms could use an update which must be underway as one wing of the hotel appeared to be under contruction. "

"Arrived at 12 and was told rooms would be ready for 2pm. Returned at 3pm and rooms were still not ready. Eventually they gave us our rooms on the ground floor"
