Excellent location, great breakfast. Great room with a view of part of the city.

What a great place to hang out--a great cocktail hour with effusive and kind staff. We had a great charcuterie board with amazing Mekness wine a couple days before Christmas. The room was decorated cheerfully with some Christmas gear, and the roaring and warm fireplace was super welcome after a cold rainy day of touring. We got to meet the owner the next day, Alex and his colleague, Sandra, who were so cheerful and lovely to talk with. The breakfast was also so elaborate--very hospitable!

This hotel had the most remarkable views of the mountains of Chefchaoun. Be warned: many many street steps to get up to hotel. But this is where you learn how incredibly fit and inshape the staff are--they lugged our 3 big bags up those steps and we lost sight of them! They brought us tea to warm us, and our balcony overlooking part of the city was magical. The room was very cold (understandable given that we were in the mountains in the winter), but it took a long time to heat up the room.

This hotel was great in location. We could catch a taxi easily a few steps outside the medina, and we were able to walk to a a number of great places, including a rooftop bar, where we had an amazing set of views.

What an amazing experience! The tent is fully functioning: excellent toilet. Shower was hand-held but it did the trick--it was super cold, understandably. At first, we grumbled about how far a walk it was to our tent (given that it was quite empty due to snowed in roads that had prevented 20 guests from reaching). But we soon realized that the views from our tent were absolutely stunning. Sand dunes, no tents obstructing our views. We were very lucky to have such a great tent. The food was very good. The welcoming reception was lovely--tea and some snacks. The reception room was gorgeous and grand. Loved it! The bonfire was lovely. TBH, it felt like a bunch of Moroccan bros drumming for fun--but we didn't mind. They were sweet, kind, and enthusiastic, and very funny!

It was a lovely hotel, renovated, with a beautiful garden, great dinner of chicken dumplings and rice. What a relief to have a great dinner that was not a tagine after 7 days of travel. Michelle was very warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed chatting with her over our excellent breakfast.

The hotel was located inside the medina, and felt a bit cramped. The hotel staff were amazing and kind, even making us a breakfast package for our very early morning departure from Marrakesh (very useful on a 10 hour Delta flight that provided very little food returning to ATL). They had umbrellas for guest use, very handy given that it rained while we were there. The room we stayed in was designated a "suite". But it was not a suite. It was a very small room (granted, with high ceilings) that left no space for luggage. The "suite part was a bridge from the hotel steps to the room (very tastefully decorated, and gave us space for our luggage), that overlooked our neighbors' room and allowed us to look directly onto the neighbors' "living room"--with their snacks, coats, and even hearing their conversations at full volume because there was no glass or partition shielding them from our view. We were part of their conversation. Ditto for the floor above us. They too had a bridge overlooking the room, and they could hear our conversation/vice versa. this meant that when one of us came in late, the others would be awakened. There was no sense of privacy unless you shut the glass doors of the room (and needless to say, no windows in the room), so a bit suffocating. But again, the staff was lovely. I would not recommend these rooms in that hotel to anyone.

This Riad was lovely and the Riad staff was amazing. Great breakfast options as well. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Gorgeous setting and we stayed warm despite the cold.

Michelle and her team were great. The Kasbah was lovely. I wish we were able to go when there was warmer weather so that we could enjoy the courtyard more.

Nice rooms and welcoming staff, particularly the younger man on the night staff - he was friendly and helpful.

Nawal was a wonderful host and teacher. It was delightful to be invited into her home and all of the food items were delicious.

Hicham was a great guide who shared a lot of interesting information about the history of Morocco and Marrakech.

Our guide was excellent. We felt a little pressured at the mosaic cooperative, although their process was interesting and the products were cool and they said you didn't have to buy anything, we felt somewhat like we needed to and that we weren't prepared to have a good idea what any of the items should cost.

The drive was pretty and we enjoyed the Gorge but we did not enjoy the walking tour beforehand. The tour guide was really nice but there wasn't much to see and it really felt like we walked through a crumbling town to get to a place to sell us rugs. But also wanted another opportunity to talk about how great our driver Mo was.

Due to road closures in the middle Atlas mountains, we had to take an alternative route to get to Merzouga which added four hours to our already long drive, so we were late to arrive and had to take a truck into the camp. Our driver Mo was amazing during the bad weather and the additional delays. The staff at the desert camp arranged for us to have the camel ride experience in the morning as we went to see the sunrise and helped us set up a quad bike/atv experience in the dunes, which was a lot of fun. The desert camp itself is beautiful and I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Hicham, the perfect start to our trip in Chefchaouen. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Our room was comfortable, spotless, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from. The rooftop terrace offered a beautiful view over the town square, a perfect spot to relax and people-watch. Overall, a lovely stay in an ideal location for exploring Chefchaouen on foot.

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Farouzi Fes, a quiet and tucked-away spot in the heart of the old medina. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Our room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The main seating area was stunning, showcasing beautiful tile work and traditional Moroccan details. Breakfast was delicious, with a generous assortment of options served each morning. The location was ideal, right in the midst of the medina, making it easy to step out and explore the surrounding streets and nearby sites. All in all, a truly great stay!

We had an incredible stay at Sahara Stars Luxury Camp, a beautiful and scenic desert retreat. Our room was stunning, with thoughtfully chosen furnishings, attention to detail, and air conditioning for added comfort. The bathroom was clean and spacious, though the drainage was a bit slow, nothing that took away from the experience. The hospitality and service were wonderful, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious with plenty of options. The evening entertainment was a true highlight, featuring live music around the campfire under the stars. Waking up early to catch the sunrise was by far the best part. Walking into the desert and climbing the dunes to watch the first light was unforgettable. Sunset was equally magical, with comfortable lounge seating perfectly positioned to take it all in. All in all, a beautiful stay and easily one of our favorites from the trip.

We had a lovely stay at Kasbah Tiziri. The Kasbah was stunning, with beautifully renovated interiors and exteriors. No expense was spared, and every finish was thoughtfully chosen, creating a serene escape that perfectly blended relaxation, culture, architecture, and food. The owners were by far the kindest and most welcoming hosts, sparking wonderful conversations and sharing stories that made us feel truly at home. They offered great recommendations and made our stay even more memorable. Our room was beautiful, with exceptional attention to detail in the furnishings, layout, and design. The meals were delicious, offering a range of traditional Moroccan dishes along with a few creative surprises that stood out from other stays. The courtyards, garden, and rooftop were perfect places to relax and unwind, each offering peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. It was truly a special and memorable stay.

We had a lovely stay at Riad La Croix Berbère, perfectly located in the heart of Marrakech’s old medina. The riad is beautifully designed with warm details, inviting lounge areas, and a spacious rooftop terrace overlooking the city, the perfect place to unwind after exploring. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed, and breakfast each morning was delicious and generous. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed. Overall, a wonderful stay that combined comfort, hospitality, and a truly authentic Marrakech experience.

We had an amazing stay at Riad Chems Bleu, a beautiful hidden gem tucked within the streets of Essaouira’s medina. The quiet location was a wonderful surprise, opening up to a space that felt like a welcoming, light-filled home. Our room was spacious and filled with natural light, with a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard that made it even more special. The riad’s plant-filled courtyard created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and the rooftop offered beautiful views of the beach in the distance. All in all, it was one of our favorite stays, and we truly wished we could have stayed longer.

Orientation was nice; we were briefed on the trip itinerary and the general flow of each day. The walk itself was great, as Ali showed us different parts of Chefchaouen, offering a scenic walk and some informative insights.

Our tour guide was so much fun and so knowledgeable which I truly appreciated. He was amenable to all of my grandfathers needs and kept an extremely positive attitude throughout the entirety of the tour I had a great time and I strongly recommend this tour and guide.

This was such a fun activity everyone was so nice and friendly the food tasted amazing and I especially enjoyed going g to the local market to see a look into the city.
