Casablanca  * * *

Surprisingly elegant and homely complex of rooms and apartments with lots of quality especially given its three-star rating. Lots of steps around the property, including 30 down to the pool, together with the hilly location make it unsuitable for those with mobility problems.

The 23 adjacent self-catering apartments are rated 3-key and share the facilities and grounds, giving two main pools and two children’s pools to choose from with plenty of sunbathing space too. The beach is just a short walk away and the seafront amenities are nearby.

Should appeal to families and more mature guests looking for a peaceful and laid-back option.
