Ibrahim, Atman(soul Brother:), Ismael, Ibrahim in desert camp...such a genuine warm and friendly people. Hospitality that you can not fake...any help you need you are going to get it...luxury camp or cheaper camp in desert, quads and buggies, camels or 4x4..visiting Berber families...so when you drive in facility you can get all information on one place and with 100% top service. Accommodation is beautiful 100m from the gate of the desert. We arrived late and Ibrahim waited for us with welcome dinner. We slept one night in hotel and next morning my son and I went on buggy desert drive - we enjoyed driving on the dunes..one hour went so fast :), during the day we have had fun on the pool, relaxing, swimming...around 5PM we went towards desert camp - 1 hour on camels, sunset....luxury camp is really nice...big tent with comfy beds...full bathroom...shower with hot water...after delicious dinner we were enjoying Berber music around fire...dancing, drumming...fantastic experience to have fun and sleep in the desert...also we were lucky with weather because there was no wind and the sky was clear....after breakfast kids have done dune surfing and we choose to go back with 4x4 because 1hout of riding camels was enough :). We enjoyed so much and it was hared too leave these beautiful people.

Pillows were to big for us but it is standard in Morocco. It happen to us on 7 of 8 places we visited :)

This was the highlight of our 2-week travels in Morocco. We wanted to do desert camping on our own instead of a tour rushing you from Marrakech to Merzouga so I book this hotel as a starting point and from there onwards they took care of everything. The staff and management is from Merzouga village so they know everything in and out and do actually go out of your way to ensure all aspects. I asked questions about camping at the time of booking this hotel and I was provided complete details and pricing so we took CTM bus from Ouarzazate to Merzouga and we were picked up from the Merzouga bus station, even though that bus arrives at 9PM. They communicated through the app to check on your arrival time and meals in advance, upon arrival we were provided 2 different room choices to pick the one we like and dinner was ready also in 20-25 mins. Next morning I paid cash for the camping and we were told that whenever we like to go to the desert they will take us, as generally they take guests at 4PM but in our case we left for camel ride to the campsite around 12PM or so. Prior to that I asked if a quad trip is possible and they arranged for 1 in just 15 mins. Everything from camp to meals, sandboarding and all other activities were very good and well thought off. After a night in our luxury tent we took a 4x4 ride back to Dar Tafouyte where our luggage was kept in the same room from the day before and we took our taxi to Fez which was also arranged through them. If you are thinking of desert camping and authentic experience just arrange for you to get to Merzouga on your own and these guys will take care of the rest. 5-star and simply outstanding.

There is nothing negative about the place or the experience. Their prices, I found are a lot more competitive then others who provide tour services. They property is also well spread out and there is a pool.

The staff is wonderful. Humble kind and so Welcoming. Always around with a smile. The pool was clean and fun to play around in. They even brought us towels for the pool area. We loved the mud walls and enjoyed feeling like an authentic Morocco stay. The beds are softer than most we have had in Morocco and the parking in a gated area is great. Check in and check out are easy and the room was great for our family of 5 with a bedroom separate for the parents and the main room with a large bed and a single bed. Great view from the pool of the town and we loved the puppy out front greeting the kids. Ac in the rooms worked well. I also loved that there is a separate shower/bathroom house so our family wasn't fighting over the one in our room. Especially Bice if you are van camping and stay in their parking lot. Use the pool snd the shower house. The food looked amazing though we didn't order the dinnerware watched others being served and it smelled great. Breakfast was simple and delicious with everything you'd want. Fresh fruit. Hand made bread. Jams and honeys eggs and yogurt, oj and coffee This isn't a 5 star accommodation so if you have that expectation of a room you'll be disappointed but if you want clean, authentic and unique for a great price you will love it.

While there is a wifi connection, at 1 mps speeds you can't do much with it. The shower doesn't have pressure. Or any temp control. We only stayed 1 night so it wasn't a huge problem for us to quick shower in it but something to be aware of. The rooms are a bit dark. The kight fixtures are beautiful but take a while to warm up and even then are a bit dim. But that's pretty minor and to be expected.

Absolutely beauuutiful hotel with the sweetest staff. The hotel was a bit hard to find. G-maps had a hard time finding the right streets. This corner of Merzouga is unpaved sandy roads where sometimes it's hard to find a road at all haha. I was scooped up by a man on a scooter who asked where I needed to go, he showed me the way. Another time I tried to find the place in the dark which was even harder. I got lost haha. Some boys in a truck asked where I was going and they showed me the way. When I first arrived I was greeted by the host. I was given tea and snacks to enjoy by the pool. So awesome. It was a bit too cold to swim but in the summer it would be great. My room was amazing. I loved the decor and the view from the window, the sand dunes. It was nice and cool inside, the blankets were warm for the colder nights. The bathroom design was amazing. They had those cool fossil sinks. The wifi in the property worked well, there is also wifi at the pool. There are several outlets near the bed. Breakfast in the morning was great and served until 10 am, which I liked. There were vegetarian options. They do offer to arrange desert tours and camp stays in the safara if you like to. By the way, Morocco is just amazing as a destination. You should go!

shower was cold but I think that is a feature of being in a remote desert hotel

We pre-booked a night in the camp, transfers, a buggy ride and a night at the Riad. All was handled very efficiently via WhatsApp and all was beyond expectations! Great service, great food, great experience!

The bed in the Riad was a little too firm to our liking

Thank you, Ibraheem. The experience was far better than what was expected. I recommend that for those who want to truly experience the desert in a safe and welcoming environment, then this is the place to be.

We wish we had spent more time, but we're on a very tight schedule.

Great swimming pool and lovely welcome. We could park the motorbike in shade in the hotel car park.

Air con was difficult to work. WiFi too didn’t seem to work well.

Awesome place with very friendly and helpful staff. The pool area is exceptional for escaping from the desert heat. Meals are all A+ and the camel trip into the desert was fantastic. While the hotel isn't right beside the dunes, you can walk from the hotel to the closest dunes in about 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
