Guest Book

Just a quick note to say many thanks for coming up with such a great itinerary and accommodation for us in Morrocco - everything went really smoothly and all of the accommodation was excellent in its own way and was great value for money. Our favourite was the Ocean in Essaouira, and we particularly enjoyed sitting on the cushions in front of the fire in the evenings drinking wine and playing cards! It was also the best breakfast. It was great to go to a mixture of places, each being very different. Joy K, February 07

Aug 08, Ocean Vagabond - very stylish and clean. Again, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Ideal location and a much needed pool as the beach is less about sunbathing and more about sand blasting! :). Thanks, Rae Mainwaring

'At Ocean Vagabond we tended to loiter around the garden/pool or on our balcony most days, and pop out for a walk and a beer and then back to the garden for the dish-of-the-day most nights as it was a nice simple, delicious meal, and happened to be particularly good value too. We did go out to Taros in the town a couple of nights, and had really excellent steaks. Loved being so near the long sandy beach, and I really enjoyed being to have a swim in the sea in those waves, and then straight back to the hotel to shower and change.' Pooh March 2010
