I stayed at Chaq Chaq for 3 nights recently and was a splendid experience. Once you walk inside, it just feels like you have been transported from the hectic medina into a completely different environment. But as with any experience, as beautiful as the premises are, service is also very important. I have to really give my props to Abdul and Mustafa, who were always there to answer questions and be the best hosts possible, so thank you both.
We had a room with double beds and everything was functional. There is air con but no television. Nice breakfast each morning with eggs, bread and fruit. Awesome roof top access with tiny dipping pool and great panoramic views of the medina and hilltops.
I do have to admit that finding the riad is hard. Even after 3 days, I still did not feel comfortable finding it. I studied it via google map before I landed and I thought I would be able to figure it out, but whatever plan I thought I had, it was completely thrown out the window once I walked past the gates from Bab Rcif. Google maps is not great once you get into the small alleys. Ignore kids and even some adults saying the road is closed, as it's just a way to get them to lead you in a loop and get some money off you. Trust me, I fell for this scam even though I read it beforehand too. Best advice is to see if you can arrange for a meetup outside Bab Rcif with someone from the riad.
