My family and I had an amazing five-day stay at this private resort, where we were welcomed by spacious villas and excellent food. The spa treatments were exquisite, and the staff truly made our holiday spectacular. However, we had a frustrating experience while checking in and dealing with a couple of maintenance issues, which slightly dampened the otherwise fantastic holiday vibe.

Baraza is a beautiful oasis with stunning Moorish decor and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff provides excellent service, especially in the dining area, but there are inconsistencies in the welcome experience and room maintenance. The location is remote, requiring a bit of bravery to venture away from the hotel, and while the food can be exceptional, the dining setup sometimes falls short. Overall, it's a great retreat for relaxation but may not suit those seeking more action or adventure.

The luxurious villas offer incredible privacy and comfort, while the service throughout our stay made us feel like we were being pampered every moment. The beach is breathtaking, though the experience changes dramatically with the tide. If you're after a peaceful retreat, this is definitely the place.

The service here is outstanding; we felt genuinely cared for during our stay. The dining options are diverse and delightful, with a fantastic showcase of local cuisine.
