"The Xaluca Maadid as the Highlight of the holiday for us and I can honestly say that it is great, the people were so friendly, the hotel is terrific and being in a traditional style makes it so much more interesting than a standard hotel. I can honestly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants something a little different."
