What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was the incredible team that brings the place to life. A special shoutout to Camille, the General Manager, whose warmth, attention to detail, and passion for hospitality are truly inspiring. Camille went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The staff were equally amazing—Jeff, Khadija, Saluma, Haitham, and everyone else whose names I might have missed—each one of them was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Whether it was arranging excursions, preparing delicious meals, or simply checking in to make sure we were happy, they made every moment feel special.

Hotel is small (around 30 guests maximum; we benefitted even from the smaller presence) and with its beautiful garden guarantees privacy.

The polite and kind houskeeping ensured that rooms an teracces were clean, drinking water supplied regularly (in big glass bottles) and we had a choice of teas (we could prepare them having a kettle) as well as coffee and coffee machine. The joint pool (we had also a small private one) allows swimming during low tide. Breakfasts were very good, notably as concerns warm dishes from the menu, prepared upon our requests. We loved having long breakfasts followed with a coffee at the terrace while enjoying the beatiful view at the garden and ocean with a gentle and warm breeze. The staff was very nice and always helpful (notably as concerns organizing excursions and transfer). One of us benefitted from spa (excellent masagge!).
