It can be hard to imagine the Marina Smir Thalasso & Spa as an upper-middle-range hotel during the empty winter months, but the beachfront property, 15 minutes from Tetouan's center, perks up in the summer with families who are here for direct access to the sand and promenade. Minimalist decor throughout can come off as dated, especially in the adjacent spa, where the old gym and massage rooms need updating. The 119 spacious, simple rooms lack features like Wi-Fi and tea/coffee-making facilities, but most have lovely balconies with pool and sea views. A full restaurant includes free breakfast buffets, there's a poolside snack bar, and both outdoor and indoor pools. Food quality gets mixed reviews. Blanco Riad Hotel & Restaurant has more character and lower rates, but isn’t beachfront.
