May 13 - May 20, 2025
We had a wonderful time in Morocco! Mohammed, our driver and guide for most part, was absolutely amazing. He always had water bottles for us, was attentive in regards to lunch time and what we wanted to see, was super patient with all our questions and was entertaining at the same time. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us around Morocco, from Casablanca to Marrakech in a big lop going through the dessert to the east . Other people who supported us was Ibrahim via text, Hassan, our driver and guide from Errachidia to Merzouga, and Ismael, taking us on a tour of the medina in Marrakech (we'd be lost without him!).
Hotel Reviews
Let me start with the positive, the reason for 3 stars. It had a bed, a bathroom with running water and it was clean. We had privacy and could come and go as needed. The breakfast was really good and the people there were super nice. Now, for some reason the mattress was not agreeable and I had a back pain after the first night. It looked worn on my side so there was a deep in the middle. There wasn't enough lighting in the room. The lamps by the bed were broken, both lamps! Actually, mine didn't even have the plugs at the end of the cord, so I couldn't plug it into the outlet even if I wanted to. If I hit the bed side table with my leg, the lamp shade would fall. Literally! The couch was too small to place both carryon suitcases. We had to take turns. The tiny bench at the end of the bed only fit the backpacks, and barely. The toilet seat was broken. Every time we sat or got up from the toilet we thought it would come apart. The soap and shampoo in the shower were not acceptable. The soap was ridiculously small, hard to open when your hands are wet (I had to call my husband to come open mine and vice-versa) and smelled bad. With all that, although the people were lovely, I'd never stay there again.
Adorable accommodations! Top hospitality. Because we arrived late and had to leave early, we ended up having dinner there as well. In case you are wondering, it was delicious!!
Lovely riad right at the edge of the sand dunes. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is very nice. The pool with the arches and the dunes behind it is an spectacular sight! We had dinner and breakfast there and found everything very agreeable. The dining room is a nicely done as well. The rooms are well decorated and spacious, although not so clean. I'm assuming that when the wind is blowing it's really hard to keep the sand completely out of the room. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay there. PS: they don't sell alcoholic beverages but you can bring your own and they will provide glasses.
This was an extraordinary experience! The camp is beautiful and we just feel like sitting outside taking it all in. Great hospitality and wonderful accommodations. The bed was very comfortable, the room was nicely decorated and we had everything we needed for a luxury camp in the dessert. We had a four course meal for dinner and entertainment afterwards. Those guys are fun and you can't help but have a good time with them! Everyone is so nice, warm and welcoming!
Fantastic hotel with a unique character. The bed was super comfortable! The room was spacious, everything worked well. Breakfast was wonderful. Everything was perfect for us and we could have stayed longer just exploring the decoration.
