A popular and well-run hotel in a
modernist white block near the town hall, the Kamal manages to appeal to a wide range of
clients, including package-tour groups and travelling Moroccans. Rooms are bright and
clean, and there's a pool large enough to swim laps in.
Eating
The cheap snack bars in Nouveau Talborjt and around the bus stations are open after
hours. The
fish stalls
(meals around Dh50)
at the entrance to the commercial port are excellent.
There are plenty of places along the beach to chill at midday or toast the sunset. Some
places along Palm Beach stay open till 1am in summer.

hours, seven daily) and Essaouira (Dh60, two hours, one daily). There are more bus op-
tions at the regional transport hub of Inezgane, 13km to the south.
