Souk Semmarine

The most amazing place to stay, I really recommend, staff are super attentive, the location is fabulous, not a single negative thing to say!

The staff were incredible and we were so close to the beautiful things to see in the city

First of all - I can confirm that this resort is not in an area of rolling sandy desert, as many people appear to expect. It is rocky, gravelly and with scrub vegetation, including lots of tiny pretty flowers (in mid-May). Also - you will not see an impressive array of stars in the night sky - because the resort is heavily lit and is surrounded by similarly heavily lit places. I mention this because I was hoping to see good stars at night, and I was disappointed. For the resort itself: The tents are well equipped, with air-con and fridges, great big comfy beds and clean modern bathrooms. hey are also very clean. The staff are all really nice and helpful and cheerful. The pool is clean and warm (although small) and there are ample loungers and seating areas. The breakfast selection is reasonably extensive continental style - with a choice of hot eggs, although the coffee is woeful. One fairly significant gripe is the prices for drinks and meals - they are absolutely absorbitant - particularly for alcohol: a 25cl bottle of beer is 80MAD (8EUR)!!! If you intend to drink any alcohol I advise you bring it with you and put it in the (admittedly small) fridge in your tent. The evening meal is pretty good quality Moroccan fare - and the portions are very generous. There are four courses in total, and it's all tasty. BUT - it is 400MAD(40EUR) per person - regardless of how much you eat. The show is very enjoyable, with several different acts, which does make the price better value.
