The hotel's 470 rooms strike a balance between comfort and character. Decorated with Moroccan touches and splashes of colour that catch the coastal light, they feel contemporary without losing a sense of place. Each room includes a private balcony where you can sit with a coffee at sunrise or a beer at sunset, watching the Atlantic roll in or the gardens come to life below.
Room options range from doubles to larger family rooms and suites, ensuring groups of any size can find something that fits. Modern amenities are standard throughout, the sort of practical details that matter when you're packing and unpacking golf gear every day. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and in-room safes are all present, along with the typical four-star essentials you'd expect from a beachfront resort. The rooms are practical, comfortable spaces that suit early tee times and late finishes, with enough storage to keep clubs and luggage organised without tripping over them.
Balcony views vary depending on your room. Some overlook the Atlantic, others face the pool complex or the manicured gardens. All offer a decent spot to decompress after a hot round on the fairways or a morning spent walking the beach. The sound of the waves becomes the backdrop, a constant reminder that you're exactly where you should be. If you're travelling as a larger group or with family, the suites and interconnecting room options give you flexibility without forcing everyone into separate corners of the resort.
What works particularly well here is the layout. The resort is spread out enough to feel spacious but compact enough that you're never more than a few minutes' walk from the pool, the beach or the main restaurant. That matters when you're trying to coordinate a group with different schedules, some heading out for an afternoon round while others are settling in for a spa session or a few hours by the water. The rooms themselves are designed to be retreats rather than showpieces, places where you can unwind, recharge and get ready for the next day's golf without fuss.
The main Mercure Restaurant anchors the dining experience with a generous buffet served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Show cooking stations add a bit of theatre to the meal, while the international spread ensures everyone in the group finds something they want. Breakfast is the usual mix of hot and cold options, enough to fuel a morning round without feeling heavy, and dinner covers a wide range of tastes, from grilled meats and fresh seafood to pasta, salads and Moroccan-inspired dishes.
For a change of pace, the Antares Restaurant serves authentic Moroccan specialities, the kind of menu that lets you savour the rich, layered flavours of the region without leaving the resort. Tagines, couscous and grilled lamb feature heavily, and the setting is more intimate than the main buffet, making it a good choice if you want a quieter meal after a long day on the course.
Throughout the day, the poolside snack bar keeps things simple with light meals and ice cream, perfect for refuelling between rounds or after a morning on the beach. As evening arrives, the Orion Lobby Bar offers a front-row seat to the sunset, with views towards the sea and the Atlas Mountains in the distance. Later, the Cassiopee Entertainment Bar brings the energy with live shows and drinks, the sort of spot where the group naturally gathers after dinner to recap the day's birdies and bogeys. Evenings are lively enough for groups without feeling like a full-on party hotel, striking a balance that works for golfers who want a bit of atmosphere without the chaos.
The heart of the resort is its large, palm-tree-lined swimming pool complex, a place that pulls you in after a hot round on the fairways. The water is cool, the loungers are plentiful and the vibe is relaxed. For those looking to recover properly, the hotel's spa delivers. A traditional hammam and sauna help loosen tight muscles, while a range of massage and beauty treatments are available for anyone who wants to go deeper into relaxation mode.
Active guests will find an air-conditioned gym, tennis courts and a variety of classes including yoga and aerobics. It works well for golfers who like to stay loose between rounds or for non-golfers in the group who want their own agenda. The facilities are well-maintained and accessible, ensuring you can keep moving or switch off entirely, depending on what the day demands. If you're the type who struggles to sit still, the tennis courts offer a decent workout, and the yoga sessions are a smart way to stretch out before an early tee time.
The pool area is where most people end up spending their downtime. It's big enough to find a quiet corner if you want one, but sociable enough that you'll bump into your group without having to search the entire resort. Poolside service keeps the drinks flowing, and the snack bar is close enough that you don't have to trek back to your room or the main restaurant when hunger strikes mid-afternoon. For families or mixed groups, the setup works particularly well because everyone can do their own thing without feeling disconnected from the rest of the trip.
