As a first time solo traveller, I managed to haggle a good deal with the airport taxi driver for 50 dirhams. After a short 10min journey, I arrived at the accommodation and was greeted by the lovely host Younes. He was extremely kind enough to tip a local guide on my behalf who had helped me to locate the riad, which was hidden inside a maze of cobbled streets. I found the locals to be very friendly. The riad manager Tarek, greeted me with Moroccan mint tea, told me I was at home now and reassured me as a solo traveller, they are by my side to make my stay feel safe, warm and relaxing. Sat on the terrace with my mint tea basking in the sunshine ☀️ it was beautiful. I was then given a tour of the brand new riad which was newly presented with handmade furniture, an authentic hammam/spa and the junior suite was absolutely stunning with a deep stone marble bath! Food was delicious, staff so polite and attentive, spotlessly clean rooms. For me the Hammam and spa was a personal highlight. It wasn’t rushed at any point, I felt extremely relaxed after an exfoliant scrub, hair wash, clay mask, followed by the most amazing 1.5hr deep massage. Afterwards, I relaxed in the foyer, whilst the host of the Riad, personally collected fresh warm homemade bread to feed me a lovely vegetarian tagine at my leisure. Also, suprised me with a delicious sweet treat…on the house! Magnificent! Honestly, this place is a little slice of heaven 😍 The staff cannot do enough for you and really appreciate that u need enough space for time out…Totally spoilt! Ended my first day with a 10min stroll to the main square/souk/market. Dodged all the crazy traders and navigated the wild traffic. Managed to find my way back after a few wrong turns and turned in for the night. Overall I found it to be a fabulous short stay in a great location! Highly recommended.
