hello
i ve stand in the hotel for one day and it was good one . when we went there you feel like you are in palace or something like that it 's great feeling . the hotel has got a perfect an amazing view and great garden .but i must say that the pool was so dirty and no chaires for everybody . at night the dinner wasn t enough (you have choice beetwen omlete sandwich chiken friture....).
secondly the rooms were clean nice.
at the end the thing that i didn t like in the hotel was the prices the rooms costs more than they should be.

The road between Casablanca and Essaouira is long, and the beach road can be a bit rough and ready so the oasis of Oualidia is one a lot of travellers choose to take.

The best property in town is th L'Hoppocampe, great location right on the water, comfortable rooms and beds and reasonable food.

But folks a tip from the wise, I have stayed here a few times now, often with a group of guests and have found that at check out time there is often a query with the bar bill, always in the favour of management of course. A trick I have developed, along with my friends is we settle the bar bill at the end of each meal rather than leaving it until check outand keep all the empty bottles at our table until that point (now knowing my friends that can often lead to a pretty messy table!!) but at least there is no argument about what we drank.

Well worth the visit though.

We have returned six times to this wonderful place. A fabulous location and as we had the suite with the balcony overlooking the beach it is hard to better. The service from the obliging staff was absolutely wonderful. Breakfast on the terrace, lunch too if desired and dinner in the relatively simple dining room. We loved the boat trip along the lagoon to see the thousands of migratory birds - binoculars are a must. Kite surfers enjoyed skimming across the lagoon - the surfing school is just nearby. The food is very nicely prepared and carefully served and there is a good wine list. Too cold to swim in February, never-the-less a great place to walk for miles along the beach past the fishing boats drawn up on to the beach and men mending their nets or selling freshly barbecued seafood. The village has a weekly Saturday souk/ market which is really interesting. Also there are craftsmen and women working if you look around the village. A doctor and pharmacies and local grocery stores and of course a barber. Other hotels may be fancier but lack personality and often are stranded away from water at low tide. This is set in gorgeous gardens and has the 12 steps straight down onto the beach and you can swim in the tidal lagoon. Great for parents and children too. We love it! Don't miss the local hammam!

I am glad I stopped there for one night before carrying on on my journey, the lagoon is beautiful and the weather made it kind of magical. This is an area for motorbike lovers, riding the sand dune overlooking the ocean literally for ever.....
