The seaview was beautiful from our room and the terrace as well. The food was good and a decent amount for breakfast. The interior of the room is nice and clean-looking with a lot of wood. A bit less overwhelming than a traditional riad in my experience. The host was helpful and super-kind.

“Great location, great sea views, great service”
We chose Riad Kafila because of the location, right on the seafront within the medina. We had a wonderful room with all amenities and clear sea view. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed watching a great variety of birdlife along the foreshore. Abdel always had helpful answers to all our questions before our visit and during our stay. We were made most welcome by Abdel and his team who all looked after us so well throughout our stay.

The property was impressively clean and they kept it that way every day. The staff were brilliant. Hamza was particularly kind and nothing was too much bother - with staff like this any negative aspects can be forgiven.
