Cabo Negro & M'diq
Tucked into the lee of the north side of Cabo Negro is the surprising town of M'Diq. Once
a small fishing village, it has rapidly grown into the classiest resort on the coast, with a
grand entrance, a fine beach, good hotels, the enormous Port de Plaisance shopping centre
with lots of restaurants and the yacht club. There is really little to separate this place from
Florida, but if you are suffering from medina fatigue, it's the perfect stop, and only 20
minutes from Tetouan.
Sleeping & Eating
M'Diq's sleeping options tend to cater to the summer tourist trade and ignore the lower
end of the price bracket. Ask for discounts outside the summer months. Given the number
of new apartments, it is worth enquiring about rentals on site. There's a string of cafes and
cheap eateries along the seafront.
Golden Beach Hotel

; 84 Rte de Sebta; s/d incl breakfast Dh478/709, incl half
board Dh638/1029; )
This four-star, aptly named hotel right on the beach is worth the
splurge. It's short on charm, but well run, well maintained and with great facilities, includ-
ing a restaurant, disco, pool by the corniche and a piano bar with a most clever bar top: pi-
ano keys in marble.
HOTEL

Hotel Côte d'Or
(Corniche; s/d incl breakfast Dh358/486)
One of several new hotels along the corniche, this one
is fairly bland with simple, modern rooms. Ask for a sea view. There are also apartments
that sleep five at Dh1300. It is in a superb location opposite the beach, and there's a cafe
and restaurant on the ground floor.
HOTEL

Café Olas
( 0539 66 44 33; Corniche; mains from Dh65; lunch & dinner; )
You can't miss this water-
front landmark dressed up as a lighthouse, with a hopping downstairs cafe and an upstairs
seafood restaurant. The decor is snappy, the rooftop views superb, and the chefs don't
have to go far to get fresh catch. Located directly on the corniche car park.
