The Library at One and Only Royal Mirage

To say that I love this place is an understatement. Its dark, warm and cozy. You can play chess on big over-sized wooden chess boards while sitting on a plush sofa next to the fireplace (not like you need a fireplace). You can order Moroccan Tea until you're mint green in the face and the afternoon tea there is deeee-lish.

What more do you want in a secret hide-away place to write, muse or just watch your waist expand? This place has it all! On top of being amazingly warm and inviting, the views to the gardens that prelude the sea are stunning. You're likely to see a wandering peacock or two in the garden and the food in the neighboring dining room is yummy from appetizing start through to the sweet end.

I haven't stayed in the hotel, nor have I lived in the residences, but the staff here knows me by name and every time I sit down, I'm met by the words that I love most to hear: "Moroccan Tea, Ma'am?"

Well, yes....I think I will! :)
