Liked: This Riad is located close to the watersports part of the beach so this Riad was ideal for us. The Riad itself is beautifully decorated and it has its own unique layout. The staff were always friendly and always willing to help with a smile, Xavier was very helpful when we were enquiring about horse riding in the area and arranged for the a local operator to come and discuss exactly what time of excursion we wanted. The breakfast was a feast, bread, yogurt, cake, crepes, orange juice, coffee, mint tea, hot chocolate....the list was endless and the quality of service was excellent. We'd definitely love to go back and hope to do so in the future.

Liked: The hotel was very beautiful. The pool was nice, although we didn't use it.

Disliked: The food in the restaurant was not the best. It is a bit out of the way, however the walk to the medina is along the coast and quite nice.

Liked: We had a very positive experience at the Riad Zahra. They actually returned money to us, charging us less than the initial rate quoted and we had not asked for this. We found the staff to be very friendly and efficent, some of whom had very good english as our french was pretty basic. The Riad was very clean and nicely decorated, it was spacious with a sea view, swiming pool and bar. Breakfast was tasty and the staff wre open to us asking for specific items of food we liked. There was a great new years eve party with a live local band which was attended and enjoyed by both guests and staff. We joined the party later in the evening and were made very welcome and given a complimentary glass of champagne, party hats etc! really good fun. I would definatedly reccommend this as a great place to stay.

Liked: A friendly greeting from the owner when we arrived, after a really long journey - The best though was after a day out in town sightseeing and shopping it was great to come back to the Riad Zahra and chill out by the pool with a drink from the bar. There was also a computer available to check emails which was very handy. The staff were very helpful as were the owners and we would definately reccommend them.
