Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location, close to everything. The room had a great view of the beach and bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that we were not informed the outdoor area outside our room (the entire deck) was private to another guest’s room. While staff was polite informing us we were essentially trespassing on our neighbors personal space, it was an uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided if there were signs or it had been made clear beforehand."
