My stay at La Maison Arabe was mostly wonderful. the upgraded room was spacious and beautifully decorated, which I appreciated. However, I did notice the breakfast could be improved as it felt slightly cramped and lacked variety. The pool area, while charming, was too cold for swimming, but perhaps that was intentional given the Moroccan climate. Overall, I had a fantastic time, and I'd love to return.
