We really enjoyed our stay at Riad Maliaka. We were welcomed by Abdul and Sylvie on arrival who were very helpful in showing us the places to visit during our stay, where to eat, where to buy spices and places to avoid. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who brought us tea to our room countless times, did... More

The staff was very friendly. Every single person we talked to was very helpful. We were recommended restaurants, bars, a place to ride quads, and everything was very good. Great suggestions. The place itself is very charming, very clean, there are lots of places to sit and relax, from the main floor to the rooftop terrace. They have a menu... More

This riad was beautiful and very creatively redone. Everywhere you looked, you saw something lovely. It was also very, very clean and comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful and the breakfast was ample and delicious—and brought to our room. The location is perfect, very central yet quiet. Three of us stayed in the room on the top... More

The Riad is well maintained, tastefully decorated, clean and quiet. The staff is very friendly, breakfast is excellent. Wi-fi connection work very well, also inside the room. The roof terrace is a very nice place. Not easy to find, the staff pick up us at the car parking after a phone call. Great!

Great place, very friendly, helpful staff, keen to make your stay as pleasant as they can. The Riad is located in a small, quiet alley, just a hundred yards both from the lively centre and the seashore. The interior design is stunning and on the roof you can sun bathe and enjoy a drink. Breakfast is also great.
