Stays in Mohammedia

I would pick L'Escale Suites for a family that wants direct beach access in Mohammedia and a kitchenette in the room. Family rooms have balconies and sea views, and the garden setting around the pool gives children space. A spa with hammam is there for the adults, and a continental breakfast with local specialities is served. Guests rate it 8.7 across 1,400 reviews. It is a quiet aparthotel, not a resort with entertainment.

Novotel Mohammedia is a straightforward four-star choice for families who want a chain standard in Mohammedia. Air-conditioned rooms have a flat-screen TV and free WiFi, and some look out over the sea or the park, which children usually enjoy. The restaurant serves international and Moroccan dishes, the terrace and shared lounge give space to spread out, and the 24-hour front desk helps with arrivals. I would see it as a practical base, with a guest score of 7.3 from more than 600 reviews.

Le Sphinx Boutique Hôtel gives families a seasonal outdoor pool and a sun terrace, the main draws for children on a warm day in Mohammedia. Rooms have private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs, and some units add a seating area, which gives a little more space for a family. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals, and the hotel lists a spa and hammam. Since the pool is seasonal, check it is open before a winter stay.

I would pick the Ibis Mohammedia for a family that wants a simple, dependable base rather than a resort. Rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, some have a seating area, and there is free WiFi and free parking, handy if you arrive by car. The bar, restaurant and 24-hour front desk cover the basics, and the hotel has facilities for disabled guests. Guests rate it 7.1 across 1,226 reviews: modest, honest value.
