Guesthouse with a heated pool in Dakhla

In a guesthouse you're welcomed rather than simply accommodated. The pool is rarely large, but it's quieter than at a hotel. In Dakhla, between the ocean and the lagoon, the wind makes heated water precious. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Dakhla: Dar Tawarta.
