“Service and location impeccable.”

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.....

“IT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009

Although the Hippocampe it's a VERY pleasant place to be, it is in despearate need of an update. The bsthrooms need attention, the towels are old, there are a lot of mosquitoes and no fan or repellents. We have stayed many times in hippocampe, but it is time that they invest in the upkeep of the place!

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2007

We loved this hotel and the location. Yes it has simple rooms and minimal resort like comforts, but this is made up for by the fabulous location, vistas, ambience and the friendliness of the staff. Meals were great though could have been more Moroccon oriented than French International. It would have been an improvement if the hotel provided books and board games. So remember to bring your own as reading by the pool or on the beach is a good activity for this place. We started here and then moved down to Marrakech and when we got to the big dusty city we yearned for a return to Oualidia and the Hippocampe. We had a boat ride out to see the birds and to do some fishing and this was a very relaxing and memorable part of the stay.
