Breakfast was exceptional! Banana pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, fruits and coffee was freshly cooked. At 7 am we got coffee on a porch. Absolutely amazing place

Our first room was Casablanca studio, one of the best rooms in a hotel. Bed was so comfortable, interior was amazing, super clean and romantic. Second night we are decided to stay in different room, called Atlas. This is the worse room ever! Super small, dark, no places to put your stuff on, no interesting furniture, I would say no furniture at all. And this room costs $382. I think this room should be renovated or decorated or just closed forever! You can’t charge that money for one night for that kind of room. So disappointed ☹️. It was my boyfriend’s birthday. Such an unpleasant experience with Korakias last night 😞

It was such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The grounds were so quiet and relaxing with amazing service and all kinds of amenities and fun ways to enjoy our time. From the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly and as we walked to our room we were offered ice cold lavender towels! I didn't think I needed it, but it was so nice and an incredible start to a relaxing stay. Our room was clean and so cozy. The pool was a quiet and refreshing place to spend most of our time, and even offered a poolside movie in the evening surrounded by fire pits and candles. The breakfast in the morning was so good and every little detail was well thought out. We absolutely loved our stay and couldn't stop talking about it. Definitely found our favorite little gem getaway in Palm Springs for future retreats. Thanks Korakia for making it so special for our anniversary!

This hotel is such a relaxing retreat. My room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, the heated pools were delightful. It’s so quiet and peaceful here that at times I felt like I must have been the only guest on site. The hotel staff was really warm and welcoming and I appreciated all the lovely little touches they add to your stay. Breakfast was delicious both mornings of my visit. The Yoga instructor on Saturday morning was wonderful. I also treated myself to a massage that was excellent.Would absolutely stay here again.

Very minor mark down for the text message line not being very responsive.

Korakia Pensione transported us back to Africa with their Moroccan themed layout. And in the same day we were taken back to Greece just by simply walking across the street to Greek themed section of the hotel. There were so many beautiful details that made this baby moon so special. We enjoyed the heated pools which were open 24 hours, we loved the breakfast that was included in our stay, and we even got to enjoy a classic movie on their outdoor projector. My wife and I stayed in the Tangier room which was more of a suite with a living space, a couch and a kitchen. We posted photos on social media and countless people really thought we had gone somewhere over seas but were so surprised when we told them we were actually in Palm Springs. Also, like everyone else has said, the location is prime! Bed was super comfy!

The ONLY issue I had with my stay was that the wifi was down in the Moroccan side for the entirety of our trip.

Breakfast each day was fantastic and the staff was extremely engaging, accommodating and professional. Beautiful property/grounds. Loved the hot cocoa/popcorn and old movies at night. Amazing location for hiking and short walk to all restaurants and shopping.

It would be helpful if area activities would be posted in the lobby for the week. We heard about Jazz at the Museum and the street festival (which were great) from other sources.

We love the location and the romantic environment. The bungalows are amazing with nice touches here and there. The outdoor pool with fire pits is amazing. If not for the cold snap, we would have enjoyed the outdoor amenities even more - like the old movies near the fire.

The bungalows need a little maintenance. We had some noisy guests this visit. The staff didn't always listen to our requests. It is a small complex, so don't expect the same level of service you might get elsewhere.

The place itself is like a Moroccan Oasis in the middle of the desert. Beautiful rooms and grounds. Excellent staff and service. Little touches that made a big difference. Love it!

The place. The staff. The grounds. The pool. The cocktails. The little touches like coffee delivered to your room at 7 am. And more…

The best breakfast ! Beautiful environment. Warm pool. Close to everything

Great coffee but it was always lukewarm! It needs to be HOT coffee-both in the thermos that was delivered every morning and at breakfast. If you're going to the trouble of serving good coffee, it really needs to be at the right temperature..and I am not a coffee snob.

Beautiful oasis of relaxation. Heated pools, firepits, wonderful breakfast, so much charm and character. The room we booked had a sound issue and staff made sure we were switched to a different room. Loved the bikes and small touches like the Moroccan tea and coffee delivered to your door in the morning.

Nothing.

It's our little hideaway gem. We always come back to the same place. Despite many boutique hotels and spas in the area this is our favorite. Breakfast is wonderful and you really cant have a bad day when the night is filled with hundreds of lit candles everywhere and toasty firepits to warm your soul
