Dar Beynana | House in Sidi Bibi, Souss-Massa

Positive: Large site with well appointed rooms in a garden environment surrounded by citrus and other trees. Incredibly helpful staff and owners and delicious food including locally grown produce and organic orange juice. An early breakfast was provided. Perfect location for exploring Souss Massa.

Negative: The property was perfect for us.

Positive: What an exceptional place to stay! I am so grateful that the place I was originally going to stay was undergoing renovation! I arrived very tired – exhausted really - for a restful break and was due to spend three nights here. I extended my stay as I just didn't want to leave. The kindness I was shown touched my heart. I felt nurtured, cared for and loved. It is a tranquil spot. If you want to see things you will need a car – I didn't as I just wanted to relax! Having said that, they have a very nice taxi driver if you do want to go somewhere. I had a delicious breakfast every day which included freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs, pancake or pastries with Jam (all homemade). Dinner is available (€15) as is lunch (€7 I think). There is no choice although Rabia did ask me whether there was anything I didn't eat and checked that I would like what she was going to prepare. Everything was delicious. We had a (different flavoured) meat tajine most evenings with fresh vegetables from the garden and papaya and oranges from the trees for pudding. Water was provided with each meal as well as herbal or mint tea and/or coffee. There are paths to walk along and benches where you can sit. There was continuous wonderful bird song to listen to – plus the odd squawk from the resident peacocks! There are also some chickens and a cockerel somewhere nearby too. The sun lounges by the pool are comfortable and there are parasols so you can choose between sun or shade. There is little light pollution so the stars are magical too. The pool is beautiful and although I didn't swim others did. The beds are firm – almost hard by English standards but still comfortable. There was always hot water and the Wi-Fi was also very good. Speaking French is a benefit as neither Rabia nor Aziza (her niece) speak much English but her daughter Fatima, although in France, was always on the end of WhatsApp to help. This truly is a family run business and is very special.

Negative: The only thing I didn't like was that I had to leave!

Positive: Rabia was like a second mom to us, always there for a nice chat (in French !) and being so nice to our son. Her cooked meals were absolutely delicious and authentic, we enjoyed every bit of it !

Negative: We were there middle/end of November, and it was a bit chilly in the rooms (they do not have heating) when we did not open the windows during the day to let the warm air in. The pool was also quite cold, but this was expected from our side !

Positive: The territory is amazing: huge exotic garden with the peacocks walking. The house is clean, the beds have warm blankets and comfortable pillows. The shower has good warm water for at least an hour (so probably constantly:)

Negative: - The mosque is close - so we would wake up with the first call - In the description it said that the room has heating - we have not found one. It was warm to sleep under the warm blankets, however was not very pleasant to leave the shower :) - The food was well cooked and fresh, just unfortunately not as delicious as in previous places we stayed. Berbers spoiled us :) - The location is not very convenient, if you want to go to Agadir often - it is quite far considering traffic, for us it did take 40 minutes one way to the Marina.

Positive: Lovely location

Negative: Water didn’t stay hot

Positive: Very comfortable accommodation and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The garden was wonderful and a stroll around it was a must do after dinner. If you just want to relax and unwind then this is the Ideal place. This is a family run business and they take the time to get to know their guests.

Negative: The location is such that you do need transport to visit the local area. However the owners will organise a taxi to take you to wherever you want to go.

Positive: Dar Beynana is a beautiful oasis in a secluded area near to Sidi Bibi. For peace and quiet, it was perfect. The accommodation was in villas dotted around a large pool. It was comfortable and spacious. The food a0nd service could not be faulted. You will need a car if you want to explore the area.

Negative: Nothing

Positive: you come into a beautifull tropical garden with orange trees and palmtrees, peacocks and a big swimmingpool in the middle of nowhere. The host Fatima was very welcoming and took her time with you to talk even though she was bussy and answered my tekst promply. The accomodation was very spacious and beautifully decorated. We loved the big doors to our small terrace and spent there many hours relaxing. The location is outside of Agadir and close to the airport. But this was exactly what we were looking for location wize and comfort and facilities. The rooms are a bit pricey for Moroccon standards, but if you look at them they are like a gorgeous luxurious suite, so worth every Dirham. The host also advised us on a special adres at the souk, so we could buy some beautifull bedding for a very low price.

Negative: the included breakfast was very basic. It was all freshly made, but it would have been nice to have received some egg and almond spread with breakfast. Also we used dinner at 1 occasion. The setting was beautifull, but the tajine was a bit bland, lacking on spices and a bit overpriced in my opinion.

Positive: The most amazing place ! When you enter through the huge wooden doors you are met with a beautiful oasis of peace and tranquility. The owners are amazingly kind and accommodating. Home cooked food was excellent.

Negative: There was nothing to dislike ..
