The pool, saunas and almost pool-size hot tub are fantastic, and 24 hour availability is great.The pool temperature is so comfortable that even the rain didn’t discourage our use of it. The staff and spa services are exceptional. We'll be back.

Moroccan theme is well done in the rooms and around the property. Enjoyed the 2 good size pools, one outside, one enclosed hot pool. The hot mineral spring pools are the main reason we stayed here. Breakfast provided was satisfying and convenient. It’s a gem in a city that’s had better days.

Once you entered, the courtyard pool and overall aesthetic transported us away from a very generic desert hot springs. Staff was super helpful.

Truly Spa

Immediate amazing first impression. Walking in you smell the wonderful spa essential oils, front desk is so nice, cute little tour of all the amenities. They have spa like music near the 24 hour pool. The decor is so beautiful. Great spots to lounge and relax. I can’t think of one bad thing, can’t wait to come back!

Staff was extremely helpful. We were allowed to check in a bit early. We were greeted with kindness and a smile. Hot tub area was a bit loud when a few guests joined
 we wanted to relax in quiet area, but weren’t able due to their very loud conversations.
