Hi Paul and Germaine

I can't answer all of your questions, but maybe can help with a few.
You can review all the arlines that fly into Oujda, Nador or Melilla, and car rental companies on the travel assistance page of www[dot]saidiavacations[dot}com - which may help with your travel arrangements. I would encourage you to try out your French language skills and see no reason, even with basic French, why you cannot achieve your objectives.

I think staying in an apartment on site will be better than in Saidia old town - which can be noisy until the early hours.

In June, the Barcelo hotel and the El Palmeral Golf course, and there is already a restaurant at the Marina open. It would be great to get some feedback on these (and any new) places to eat and socialise following your visit.

Hope this is helpful
