A beautifully appointed hotel with wonderful team of staff, excellent food and lovely rooftop terrace with views of Ait BenHaddin. Sunset behind the mosque which also provides morning alarm call. Hotel is out of town so there are no shops etc nearby (if you want that then better stay in town), this is a luxury oasis of calm and comfort to relax in. Read more
