This is not your usual airport overnight stay!
Owner arranged pick up for us arriving from the train from Marrakech. We got off in Berrechid and driver picked us up, pre negotiated rate.
We arrived at the riad and greeted by Fatima. She also cooked us our dinner which was really delicious! (A highlight actually, we ate every single last grain of rice. It was chicken tangine, rice, bread and soup. Simple but really well done!) This seemed to be included in our booking which was nice because there are NO options for anything in the area. Literally you are in the middle of the fields and farms.
You are about 10 minutes from the aiport but don't hear the planes.
The riad is also a sort of /farm/zoo. There are multiple cats, at least 4 peacocks, chickens, guinea fowl and dogs. We loved the peacocks, even though they shriek like crazy. There is a giant pool, cool water but it was still so nice to jump in.
Only downsides were that the rooms were definitely dated, beds are hard (but this is just Morocco) and the bathroom needs updating. Shower was rusty and honestly just needs to be replaced.
Owners were nice people, other reviews seem to rave about them but we had very little interaction with them. Staff/owners spend time sitting scrolling on their phones, which we didn't see elsewhere on our travels but I suppose up to them!
Drive to the aiport was also included and Simo was on time and friendly.
Overall, a great place to stay to be close to airport and avoid Casablanca.
