Very nice and friendly staff, who made a real effort to provide a clean and welcoming space for us to stay. We especially enjoyed spending time on the rooftop. Even if you come back late, there is always someone available to help open the door and ensure it is locked afterward, keeping the space secure.

Absolutely great!! There's nothing to complain about the staff is super friendly, very kind, and attentive. As a solo traveler, I arrived and was truly very well received. On the rooftop, there’s ambient music, a view of the ocean, and the small town around, which made me feel good right away. The bed was very comfortable, very clean, and the value for money was exceptional.

Staying at Santacruz Surf Camp was truly unforgettable! The camp's vibe is so warm and welcoming, and Tamraght itself is just stunning. Every day started with breakfast overlooking the ocean, thanks to the amazing staff, and ended with us sharing stories with new friends. The instructors were passionate and guided us with patience, helping us catch waves all day long. They even provide laundry and clean showers, which makes the stay super comfortable. Absolutely loved my time here.
