For particularly spoiled tourists, Morocco is not suitable. Hotel Al Moggar even more so. There are no frills of the cuisine of Turkish hotels, whiteness of private beaches of the Greek islands, exotic Goa and Bali. The hotel, like the country, is of reasonable minimalism. The hotel rooms are spacious (we had an ocean view), with large balconies, with large bathrooms. But soap is given only upon request (otherwise 1 piece per person for 10 days), linen is changed every 3 days, towels - every day, but at the discretion of the maid (you can do it all at once, or you can 2-3). Didn't see any cockroaches.
The food in the half board restaurant is tasty but not varied. For breakfast - scrambled eggs in the form of fried eggs or humpty - chatting, donuts or pancakes, croissants, cottage cheese, citrus fruits, jam, cheese and "paper" sausage. Dinner - meat, turkey, fish, seafood (squid and mini shrimp), once even pampered with pork. Garnish - rice, potatoes, vegetables. Sweet - something like mousse. Drinks at dinner: a bottle of mineral water - 1.5 euros for 1.5 l, beer 2 euros for 0.2, sweet soda - 1.5 euros for 0.2 l, wine: local - 5 euros - 0.375 l, 7.5-10 euros - 0.7 liters, French 15-30 euros for 0.7 liters. Everything is edible.
You can have lunch (5-10 euros per person) in a cafe on the waterfront or in the city. Everywhere there are complex lunches or a la carte menus. By the way, I advise you to first slowly compare prices, they can differ by half even in neighboring cafes.

Strikes the ocean. No other sea compares. He really breathes power. The water is not too warm, you can’t swim for a very long time. About 20C. But the sun bakes, so there is nothing more pleasant than after a swim to walk along the edge of the beach for about 5 kilometers back and forth, then plunge again and go for lunch (dinner). Lying on the beach is not interesting - it is municipal, without umbrellas, sunbeds, besides, local guys play football all day long.
Excursions can be taken on the same beach, about 40% cheaper than the tour operator, and the service is the same. An umbrella with a representative of local guides is located on the beach, opposite the exit from the hotel. We went to Marrakesh, did not regret it. For 70 euros per person instead of 130, which the tour operator asked for.
Time flew by unnoticed. Normal, healthy rest.
