Just for the record; A little clarity: you can splash in the two swimming pools as long as you are a hotel guest. If you book a day pass and stay somewhere else (which is possible and recommended), then there is 'only' one swimming pool available. Here, near the 'public' swimming pool, you will also find the restaurant where an extensive lunch is served with BBQ, a range of hot and cold salads and who knows what else they have come up with since we were allowed to sleep at the hotel. Drink one there perky little rose and your day can't go wrong anymore.

There is a menu for the evening and, to be honest, it is a bit quiet in the restaurant, but you can enjoy good food there. And then roll straight into bed.

What else do you need to know? If you want to go into town, just give a shout and the nicest 'house driver' of the place will take you; in one moments notice it is ready to pick you up again. In addition, the staff is sweeter than sweet. So, and now we would like to go back to that wonderful hotel just outside Essauoira…

Love, Bloeme
