Hotel des Palmiers


Look!

Look what?

The receptionist proudly showed me his first euro notes. It was 3rd January 2002, memorable day for him.

As from 1st January 2002 the euro has become legal tender in all euro-countries. I had seen the coins but I hadn’t seen the banknotes yet. We studied them carefully and decided that they looked quite good after all.

The rooms of Hotel des Palmiers are large and airy. There is one double bed and one single bed. So that the price is in fact for three persons. A large well-equipped bathroom and everything is kept meticulously clean. It is close to the beach, a ten-minute walk. There is no swimmingpool and no airco, but in winter this is not a disadvantage. In summer you’d better go next door to Hotel Kamal, double and some rooms triple the price of des Palmiers.

When I looked out of the window, I had to stick out my head then turn it sharply to the left, I could just see two palm trees. Once they must have been in the centre of a shady courtyard. The hotel has undergone several renovations and the courtyard became smaller and smaller. It may even disappear altogether as builders were construction a new wing. when we were there.

This did not disturb us. As all we heard was soft hammering and some men talking. I have often notices that in less developed countries building is done by hand, no big noisy machines, which disturb peace.

Hotel des Palmiers looks on to a large empty square, in summer it’s unbelievely hot as there is no shade. In the evening it’s pleasantly cool, the fountains have been turned on and Moroccans come for their evening stroll. Across the square you will find ‘Uniprix’ a supermarket frequented by long-term winter tourists who emerge carrying western comforts: cereals, milk, wine, beer you name it they have got it. It’s a good place to spend your last dirhams on souvenirs.

Moroccan Breakfast
Cafe au lait, crispy French loaf, margerine (real butter only in 4-star hotels), apricote jam, a wedge of ‘La Vache Qui Rit’, soft spreading cheese and sometimes orange juice.

Double room 250 dirham = 25 euro
