Comfortable Stay Near the Beach

beach locationhelpful staffroom amenitiescompromised machine
I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the beach, about a 15-minute walk to the medina (it was a pleasant stroll). The location offered a good balance of calm and accessibility. The staff was friendly and helpful . My room included a fridge and a kettle.
The gym's running machine seemed compromised, I slipped on it during use. I reported it, but I'm not sure if anyone took action (it felt a little fruitless).
