The dining experience was fantastic with delicious vegetarian couscous, and the facilities were excellent.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were cozy and had our own bath, with a comfortable bed that made it hard to leave in the morning. The hotel had a limited number of tables, creating a more intimate dining experience. However, the price seemed a bit high compared to similar options.
