Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Our trip to Morocco was wonderful on many levels. The front-end services that were coordinated through KimKim went smoothly, even though our point person changed right before we left for Casablanca. The local guides and our driver, the intrepid Hashim, were drawn from a tour group called Immersive Morocco, I think. They were all knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic about the culture and different regions of the country. We stayed inside the walls of the old city in both Fes and Marrakech, which were unique and authentic! The camel camp in the Sahara was a real treat, too. I recommend doing it all!! We also stayed in a renovated casbah. What an experience! It was a lengthy road trip but Hisham knew all the spots to stop, where the cleanest restrooms were located and was able to point out interesting facts along the way. Having a private driver is definitely the way to go!

Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe

Marrakech

Our stay at Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe in Marrakesh was lovely. The exterior was unassuming, but inside it felt like we unearthed a gem. The staff were very accommodating, especially when we weren't feeling our best. We found solace in a nearby rooftop restaurant that patiently served us simple meals as we recovered.

Kasbah Tiziri

Kelaat Mgouna

Staying at Kasbah Tiziri was a wonderful experience, especially with the Canadian owner who was very empathetic to our situation when I fell ill. She kindly offered to let us use her washing machine, provided us with extra paper towels, and even sent us off with some bananas for the journey. Her kindness made a tough time much more bearable.

Riad Farouzi Fes

Fes

Staying at the Riad Farouzi Fes was a delightful experience. When you wind your way through the alleyways of the walled city and a big wooden door opens up into a charming little courtyard with gorgeous tile work and a fountain, it's breathtaking. We really liked it there, and everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Riad Madu Premium Camp

Merzouga

My goodness, we were not expecting a king sized bed, hot water and full-on plumbing in this remote location. Very quiet, comfortable, we were well taken care of. Would have had great night views only the evening was completely overcast.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Transport

Hicham was 10/10! Navigated traffic well - super confident and friendly, helpful.

We had a fantastic week driving all over Morocco and I think what impressed us the most was just how much variety there is! Kimkim did a great job taking care of all the details for us and making it easy & seamless to do so many different things. All of our hotels were great, but the room in Essaouira (Riad Mimouna) was particularly stunning and memorable! We really enjoyed Essaouira and appreciated it being an unstructured day where we could explore on our own. I also want to shout out our Marrakech local guide, Abdella-- he pointed out details we would have never noticed and enriched the walking tour with cultural and historical significance. Moreover, he customized it to our specific interests, taking us to a spices shop at our request with no hesitation. And of course, our night in the Sahara Desert with the camel ride, campsite, sunset & sunrise were just magical.

In retrospect, there were a few excursions that didn't quite meet expectations and/or weren't totally tailored to our interests. It felt like they kept pushing us to buy from local merchants (leather, carpets, silk, oils, etc.), but we were more interested in history than in shopping. We also had much better experiences finding food on our own than in the places they set up for us, which were generally more expensive and had less variety.

All that said, the best part of our experience with kimkim might very well be our driver, Tayeb. He was always punctual, friendly, and professional throughout the trip. I can't imagine trying to navigate through Morocco on our own, through crazy traffic & long drives, and it was so worth it to have someone else manage it for us. But more than that, Tayeb added a lot of unexpected fun and interesting stops along the way! Arguably all of our best meals were on the road at restaurants he picked that we would have never found on our own. They were delicious and very well priced! There were so many hidden gems and experiences he opened up, breaking up the driving time with conversation and humor. He showed us the epitome of Moroccan hospitality and it really felt like we left with a new friend.

Marrakesh

Didn't need this experience. It felt like an overcrowded tourist destination. Even though we had a scheduled ticket entrance time, we still had to wait 30 minutes in line to enter. Then it seemed like the purpose was just to take photos for social media. Not our kind of spot.

Half-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech

Marrakesh

Abdella did such a fantastic job! This is exactly what we were looking for. He explained the art in such detail, helping us understand the "what" and "why" behind the beautiful mosaic tiles we'd been seeing all week. We learned so much in such a short time with him. And then when we said we were specifically interested in going to a spice stand, he didn't hesitate but took us to exactly what we we had in mind. He catered the experience to us and shared so much interesting information along the way. It was great!

Private Transfer from Skoura to Marrakech: Crossing the High Atlas

Morocco

There were so many more interesting stops along this route than we knew! We really enjoyed the Atlas Studios, Aït Benhaddou, and then Tayeb took us to an AMAZING barbecue restaurant in the mountains.

Sand-Boarding in Erg Chebbi

Merzouga

This was a total flop. The sandboard didn't move one inch down the sand hill. They didn't take us out to a dune high enough, just handed us an old board to let us walk a few feet within the camp. Even Michael as an experienced snowboarder couldn't get it to move at all. This didn't work at all and was disappointing.

Transfer from Fes to Merzouga via Erfoud & Camel Ride

Morocco

Absolutely loved our camel ride and Sahara experience! We will remember that night for the rest of our lives. The campsite was amazing and the setting was magical.

Dine with a Local Family

Morocco

This really did not live up to how it was advertised. The family was VERY sweet, and I appreciate them feeding us. But here's how it was described: "When you arrive, they welcome you with smiles and offer mint tea and dates. The father may work in the medina or at a school, and he will proudly talk about Fes. The mother makes sure you feel comfortable. The children may be shy at first, but soon they will come to greet you. Before dinner, you may help a little in the kitchen. The mother can show you how to mix a salad or arrange bread. While cooking, the family asks about your trip, your home, and what you think of Morocco. They tell stories about daily life and their city. Dinner is served at a low table. Everyone sits on cushions." In reality, we sat alone in a silent room while one teenager watched us eat. The mother and father did not speak English at all and thus were unable to converse with us. No one ate with us, the teenager just watched us eat. We paid 650 dirham for chicken tagine, while was paid 120 dirham for the exact same meal at a restaurant. They did not teach us how to cook, we did not sit on cushions, and it was disappointing. But that's not a knock on the family themselves- they were very sweet people!

Guided Tour of Fez Medina

Fes

In reality, this felt like more like a guided tour of where to shop than of the history of Fez. We really weren't interested in buying things and thus felt awkward as we were continuously dropped off at another merchant (leather, silk, pottery, carpets, etc). And when he took us to a historic site, he just dropped us off to check out on our own rather than talking us through it.

From start to finish, everything about our trip exceeded expectations. The country is stunning — from the vibrant cities and beautiful architecture to the peaceful dunes of the Sahara (a true bucket-list experience!). The people are incredibly kind and welcoming, and we felt completely safe everywhere we went — not even a hint of petty theft.

Imane was amazing in helping us plan the perfect trip for our family, especially since we were travelling with our 2-year-old toddler. She took the time to get on a call, walk through all our options, and tailor everything to our needs.

Said provided excellent on-the-ground support, always quick to help and solve any issues that came up in real time.

And Karim, our driver, made the journey extra special — sharing stories, traditions, and his deep pride in Berber culture throughout the trip.

Every accommodation we stayed in was stunning, and every stop along the way was thoughtfully chosen.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Our first visit to Morocco was a thrill. Nihad made the planning so easy. I originally intended to travel with my brother & his wife, but he had to undergo surgery a month before our planned trip. Nihad easily substituted one of my friends in their place, which increased the price only slightly. We started in Marrakech (2 nights at the excellent Riad al Rimal), then traversed the High Atlas Mountains to Valley of Roses (2 nights at the stunning Kasbah Tiziri). We took a camel ride to the desert camp (Sahara Stars Luxury Camp) for 1 night, then went on to Fes (2 nights at the Riad Farouzi Fes). We flew back to Marrakech for 2 nights (again at the Riad al Rimal). We spent our last free day seeing the Jardins Majorelle (spectacular), the Museum of Berber Arts, and the Yves St. Laurent museum.

The high points: observing the traffic in Marrakech (wild!), our lunch with the locals in the Valley of Roses, the camel ride to the desert camp, the stop at the women's cooperative Berber rug shop, every city guide we toured with, and the people of Morocco, all of whom were so warm and welcoming. Kudos to Nihad, who always responded immediately to our questions. And of course Richad, our tour manager/driver, who was invariably pleasant, helpful, patient, and informative.

The whole trip from start to finish was amazing! The booking on kimkim was seamless and Majid was very accommodating with our interests and needs. He messaged me almost immediately while we were planning and checked in several times during the trip. Our driver Hasan became part of our family for the week! He was so proud to show us his country and particularly where he was raised. He was very certain to stop if we needed a break and made arrangements with local tour guides as we arrived. He had a very good sense of humor and a very caring disposition. The people of Morocco couldn't have been more friendly. Our guide in Fez was extremely knowledgeable and we were able to see so many amazing crafts. The family we had dinner with was delightful and we really enjoyed the experience of seeing how they lived. The Riads were wonderful and the hotel in the gorge was beautiful, modern and clearly the owners were paying attention to detail. the food the that hotel was excellent! Our Camel ride into the dessert was so fun as well. We all had a terrific trip

We had a truly fantastic family trip to Morocco! Everything was planned so well and went very smoothly. We felt very welcomed and taken care of especially traveling with children. Riding camels on the beach was very memorable, and hiking in the Ourika Valley was absolutely beautiful. Each of our tour guides was unique and wonderful. They helped us to feel at home in Morocco! I would definitely recommend Yassine and his company MOTB.

First, who is Sharon? We never worked with anybody named Sharon to our knowledge. We did work with Marion. We had a lot of back and forth to get the trip that we wanted. It seemed that our requests were overlooked and we had to keep bringing them up.
Arriving in Casa Blanca our driver was not at the airport to meet us. We had to call the given phone number and coordinate the meeting. The driver, who was the first day guide, did not speak English well and was not easily understood. The first day's tour was not as presented, consequently we did not really understand some of the stops. (We stopped at a plaza with lots of pigeons???) It would have been nice to have the driver's name ahead of time. The size of the van was nice.
Rabat--our guide was knowledgeable and gave a good presentation.
Chefchoun--our orientation walk did not happen at first. We were delivered to the hotel and we then asked Rashid, our driver, to give us a quick rundown.
On the way to Fez we stopped at the Volubilis ruins and the local guide, although knowledgeable, was on his phone all of the time. I almost asked him if we were interfering with his day. The restaurant, Roman City, was excellent. The chef, using his mother's recipes presented a great lunch (one of the better meals of our trip to that point). The ruins are ok, but if you have been to as many Roman ruins as we have it was redundant.
In Fez, our local guide was excellent. He had the patience of Job with all of the stops that the ladies in our group wanted.
Regarding the desert camp, we should have prepared a small bag for the overnight and left the suitcases in the van (please suggest this to future travelers). This would have made the transfers much easier and better. The camp was good, our camel guide was great and very nice.
Atlas Mountains-Dades. We stopped at the "Hollywood" movie studios to, take a picture of the outside? We had been in the car for an hour and half or two hours and were expecting a restroom. Nope, we would have had to pay to enter the facility. We did stop shortly down the road after requesting a break. The Eden Hotel was great but we only spent fifteen hours there.
Marrakesh--our guide was good and visiting a Madrassa was educational and brought history to life.
Essaouria--we were supposed to go to a restaurant where we would pick out our fish and it would be cooked for us. This feature was skipped entirely and we missed it (we have done this in other countries and enjoyed it greatly). We found the above restaurants the next day after our cooking class but were too full to have a dinner. The cooking class was well done, shopping, chopping and eating.
Essaouria to Marrakesh--our driver Hallie was early (we left prior to six AM!) and very nice.

General notes:
All of the hotels were very good to excellent and well situated.
We were never informed that KimKim was going to "sell" our trip to another broker. We were surprised to find this out two days prior to the start when we received release forms from Ultimate Morocco. We were disappointed as we thought that you were the actual tour company.
It would be beneficial to future travelers if you gave an idea of the cost of all of the meals that had to be paid in cash. ATM's were usually easy to find but limited in how much cash could be taken out. International banks like BNP Paribas was a great option and we suggest that guides direct guests to these branches.
As with all trips that we go on, adding tips to the package is irritating. Since you give suggestions on tipping, just include the amount and pay the drivers and guides directly.

Lastly, as we stated earlier, our photographs, videos names or likeness may not be used in any social media or posted online.

Hakim was great and was always very responsive! He worked with me to create and amazing and unforgettable trip! We had few issues with legroom/comfort of the minibus provided... was very cramped on long trips. Local guide Hanyn was very knowledgeable and interrsting however had communication issues and listening to the group needs. Overall, I appreciate Hakim and his team putting together a great trip and sharing their wonderful country, people and culture!

The overall experience was lovely.
Our driver was attentive and available. I understand that he is not a guide, but a bit more knowledge of the places we are driving by would have been helpful. Specially since during long drives, there were no guides with us & we passed a lot of interesting places. Once prompted he did tell where we were, but maybe a bit more espontenous info will be great.
All the accommodations were very nice. I had prefer to stay 1 night only at the Sahara desert camp, since it was not clear to me that we were not able to stay in the camp during the day and what was available to visit was quite limited. I did enjoy the Skoura hotel, that was a nice place to relax, after the long drive.
Also maybe look more into the places to eat when out on the road. Maybe there are not a lot of options, but it seems that the places chosen were more geared towards regular tourist, since the menus were limited and/or fixed price menus.
The guide we had in Fes, Moustafa, was excellent, my favorite of the trip.
You have a beautiful country & I enjoyed it very much!

Our trip to Morocco, arranged through KimKim, was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We have traveled extensively and have had all kinds of experiences. Everything on this trip exceeded our expectations.

Our private driver and guide, Mohammed, was outstanding — thoughtful, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to take care of our every need. The vehicle was very comfortable, and traveling from city to city felt easy and enjoyable.

Every riad and desert camp we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, and full of authentic Moroccan charm. It’s hard to choose a single highlight because the entire experience was amazing — from the camel ride and desert night in the Sahara, to exploring Fez and Marrakech, to the cooking class we loved so much.

We had the special opportunity to share meals in local homes, which were among the most memorable moments of our journey. Visiting synagogues, mosques, and learning about Morocco’s rich blend of cultures — Berber, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim — left a lasting impression. We also enjoyed hikes in the countryside, a visit to the Majorelle Gardens, and a relaxing hammam and massage, which felt heavenly after all the walking.

Most of all, it was the warmth and kindness of the Moroccan people that made this trip so special. Every person we met welcomed us with open hearts and genuine smiles.

We can’t recommend this experience highly enough — Morocco captured our hearts, and we’re already dreaming of returning.

Majid was very responsive and developed a tour that fit our taste and time frame. We had a wonderful driver and guide. It was a memorable journey

Our guide was Ilyace. He was wonderful. He looked out for us especially in a country that we are not familiar with. He is very knowledgeable with the area we visited and provides us with a 24/7 service if we need him. Will definitely check to see if he is available on our next visit to Morocco.

Got our tickets and we did not have to wait to enter. Everything was very smooth.

I took a fair amount of time working with Yassine, then Louis, to put together a first visit to Morocco that captured all I wanted to see and appreciated their input in offering ideas, suggestions or modifications to help arrive at what I felt was the trip I wanted to take.

I saw the highlights of Casa Blanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara, Marrakesh and Essaouira. The guides I was paired with were wonderful - Zahra in Fes, Mohammed in Marrakesh and guides used to explain things like the ceramics and leather in Fes, the rug making process, and about argon. During down time, I wondered around the medinas near my riads and felt totally safe.

I went to Morocco solo and was assigned a driver for my trip, Said, who took good care of me. I could not have asked for a better driver who saw to it that I was where I needed to be on time, spoke fluent English, and enjoyed sharing information and answering questions, along with providing some additional suggestions or ideas for stops along the way. Said helped make my trip, that covered a lot of country and time on the road to see what I wanted to see, a huge success. My trip could have been very different depending on the personality of my driver, since I had so much time with the driver. Said was the best, he definately made the trip what it was, and our time on the road flew by. I'm very thankful to have had him as my driver.

I have used kimkim twice now and been very happy with the results. Kimkim takes time and effort to help create a trip catered to me and my interests.

We highly enjoyed a 10 day driving tour of Morocco with stops in Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga, Skoura and Marrakech. Our driver, Ayoub, was with us throughout the trip and, besides excellent driving skills, was knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful, helpful, and full of good humor. Our City guides in Fes (Shariff) and Skoura (Badr) were excellent. We had a rewarding lunch visit with a family in Skoura. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone interested in learning about the history, the people and the cultures of Morocco.

Samad was a great driver who made the trip most enjoyable. Siad was there to make alterations to the itinerary when we asked. Overall, a stellar job!

Our trip to Morocco organized by Kimkim was the one of the best trips we ever did. The planning with Abdellah was seamless. He helped us decide on various activities and places and made good suggestions.
Everyone who helped us on our trip was professional, knowledgeable and warm and friendly. Our driver Mustapha was excellent. He was a very safe driver, knowledgeable about locations and shared a lot of knowledge about the country and environment. He always had fresh bottles of water each day and offered several convenient stops throughout the day. Our guides in Fes and Marrakech were helpful in the market and knowledgeable about the sights. Our guides for the hikes at Akchour and Imlil Valley were knowledgeable and shared great information about the area and the Berber people. Our time at the camp in the desert was very memorable. The staff at the Tiziri Camp were wonderfully warm and friendly and took time to share more about their culture which we loved. The music at night was especially wonderful. Our time in Marrakech was a favorite. People were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed walking around and also did a cooking class at La Maison Arabe. It was excellent and we are excited to practice at home. The staff at La Maison Arabe was outstanding. The last day we went to lunch at the Selman Hotel and saw the stables of Arabian horses. It was a very special experience. All our hotels throughout the trip were excellent and chosen by Original Travels.
The person we worked with once the trip was planned, Said, at Original Travels was wonderful. He communicated with us well and was quick to respond to any request we had especially for the last day.
We highly recommend Kimkim for travel and Original Travels and Said as the person to work with during the trip. We highly recommend Kimkim and Original Travels.

Riad Salam Fes

Fes

Riad Salam Fes is a beautiful hotel with excellent service and fantastic food. However, our room was located directly beneath the patio dining area, leading to early morning and late evening noise due to chairs scraping above us. Despite this, the overall experience was pleasant. I would recommend requesting a room further from this area for a quieter stay.

Always timely. Very accommodating. Drivers were Mustapha fir 10 days and Yassnine for two days.

We loved meeting Ahmed, he was an excellent driver and we had real experiences, lunches with him at the Kasbahs.
We were a bit confused day of Ait ben Haddou at lunch, if we paid for it. It would be a help if its on the itinerary.
We loved meeting the Morrocan Immersion owner Abdul, who personally took us to a tour of Valley of Roses and
home-cooked kasbah lunch. We loved the experiences and endoured the long drives to get to our next destination.
Would recommend it to friends!!

We had a great trip to Morocco which would not be possible without Ali, who carefully planned our itinerary and activities; Said, who was always reachable and responsive to issues we had during the trip; and Farid, who was not only driving us for 9 days, but also answering our numerous questions about Moroccans and their culture and customs, teaching us useful Arabic and Berber words and phrases, making sure we always had water and who was always kind, flexible, patient and attentive to our needs. Morocco is a beautiful country with changing and impressive landscapes, towns full of history and friendly people. One of our best experiences was the stay in the Sahara desert. The staff of this operation who handled the camel ride, the stay in the desert camp, the dinner, the evening entertainment and the ATV ride in the dunes was very personable and professional. Tour guides in the cities were knowledgeable and spoke good English. We especially liked our guide in Fes, Moustafa. Hotels and riads were comfortable, cozy, and conveniently located. The problem we encountered in some accommodation was plumbing in showers. Other than that, staying in riads was very interesting and special.
We are very thankful to the Original Travels team for making our trip enjoyable and memorable!

Fes to Merzouga Sunset Camel Ride via Midelt & Erfoud

Morocco

Dessert was definitely the highlight of the trip. It was not quite clear when we had to be there to do the camel ride to see sunset. We were a bit concerned about logistics and skipped some planned stops on the way to make sure we get there onetime. In general, it would be helpful to have an idea how long each stop should take and what time we need to be at final destination for the day. We skipped lunches almost every day and it did not seem possible to fit sit-down lunch into our daily schedule. We did not want to, but if we did, we would need to skip some stops and most likely would get to hotels rather late.

Drive from Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat

Morocco

Our trip to Morocco was very memorable. My husband (78), and me (73) plus our friend (68) had a great time seeing the colorful country of Morocco. Everywhere we traveled, we had excellent accommodations and pretty good food in most locations. Our driver, Soufien, was very accommodating, very kind, funny, and an excellent driver - always on time and with a fresh cold bottle of water for each of us!
A few highlights (and lowlights):
1. Chefchaouen was a very interesting and beautiful smaller city - Our terrific local guide Ali took us on a hike to the Bridge of God, which was great but the extended trip to the small waterfall (no water in the large waterfall) ended up being a little too strenuous and steep for us, in the heat of the day. But we made it!
2. Our guide in Fes, Moustaffa, was the very best of the whole trip. Informative and funny - a good story teller. A highlight was the visit to the mosaics/pottery - amazing!
3. Camel ride on the Saharan Dunes at the sunset. Epic! great guide and a great nighttime experience at the Desert Camp with very nice staff, food and evening entertainment. Recommend this is a one night experience only, though we stayed for 2 nights. Uninteresting day-time guide and not much to see/do (and no English).
4. One overnight stop at a beautiful resort on the way to Marrakesh. (could have stayed here 2 nights)
5. Balloon ride over Marrakesh for our friend Rosa - Another Epic experience!
6. Interesting walk through the city with our guide, Mohammed. He was well versed in his history and walked quite fast for my short legs (although I wasn't feeling too great this day). 2 of us opted out of the food tour because we were not well, leaving one who didn't eat meat. In general, Food tour - Not a good choice for the end of the trip (and same guide).
In summary, We had a fine trip, overall and covered a lot of territory (4 long car travel days)!

Only USB outlets to charge a phone so we had to charge in the main lodge. Evening sunset and morning sunrise are epic and you are treated to wonderful authentic music (drums and castanets) after a very nice dinner. Loved it! I suggest this is a ONE NIGHT STAY ONLY as there is not much to do during the day in the extreme heat (unless you are a dune buggy / dune surfing thrill seeker) Great staff. Very kind and helpful with everything.

My mother and I recently returned from an unforgettable 12-day trip through Morocco with Morocco Immersion, and we can’t recommend this experience highly enough. From start to finish, everything was seamless, meaningful, and beautifully organized.
Our driver and tour manager Ali was truly exceptional, a wonderful guide and even better person. His kindness, enthusiasm, and deep love for Morocco made every moment special. He ensured everything ran smoothly, filled each day with laughter, and introduced us to the country through his own genuine passion for its culture, people, and landscapes. By the end of the trip, it felt like traveling with a friend.
We were also fortunate to explore Fes with our local guide Rashid, who brought the city’s winding alleys, lively markets, and ancient monuments to life with fascinating stories. In Marrakesh, our guide Ali (different from our driver!) led us through the vibrant Medina, sharing layers of history as we walked, it truly felt like stepping back in time.
One of our most cherished memories was our sunset camel ride into the Sahara Desert, followed by a magical night at our desert camp, a once-in-a-lifetime experience we’ll never forget. Another highlight was visiting Boumalne Dades, where we learned to make traditional couscous and shared a meal with Ali’s family. Their warmth and hospitality were deeply touching and gave us a glimpse into the heart of Moroccan life.
Throughout the trip, we were continually amazed by the beauty and comfort of our accommodations, from riads filled with light and intricate details to stunning kasbahs surrounded by nature. A special mention goes to Kasbah Tiziri in Boumalne Dades, with its beautifully renovated interiors and incredibly kind owners and staff, and to Riad Chems Bleu in Essaouira, a true hidden gem with sun-filled rooms, a serene courtyard, and breathtaking views from the rooftop.
Every part of this journey reflected the care and authenticity that Morocco Immersion puts into their trips. It was an experience that combined culture, adventure, and heartfelt human connection. The kind of trip that stays with you long after you return home.

We had an amazing stay at Riad Chems Bleu, a beautiful hidden gem tucked within the streets of Essaouira’s medina. The quiet location was a wonderful surprise, opening up to a space that felt like a welcoming, light-filled home. Our room was spacious and filled with natural light, with a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard that made it even more special. The riad’s plant-filled courtyard created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and the rooftop offered beautiful views of the beach in the distance.
