A unique experience
Superbe endroit a visiter le personnel est sympa le paysage est magnifique. Un petit désert au pied de l'Atlas qui offre un contraste splendide
Fantastic place for our team vision retreat - it's just outside of Marrakech and yet the scenery is so different and it feels like another world. The tents are super comfy and cosy, and the staff there are really welcoming. We loved the sunset camel ride as well.
Majestueux à faire absolument. .
One of the most magical experiences of my life. The staff was incredibly attentive, sweet, and respectful. We loved our tent and the surrounding accommodations. It felt luxurious but authentic. The food was delicious and dinner had great variety. Some highlights were waking up to watch the sunrise over the desert hills, star-filled evenings by the fire, and the camel ride. We were there in July so it was very hot, but it's manageable heat. We lunged around, read books, played games, and took naps. The camp exceeded our expectations!
This place was so lovely! The setting in the desert was gorgeous and so peaceful. We just came to relax and didn't do any activities, but we did do the message and they were very good. I would highly recommend this place, despite the price. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They treated us like royalty and the food was the best we'd had in country. I would suggest not going in summer, though. We went in July and it was very hot. Go in a time of year you won't burn up!
Lieu magique au milieu du désert. On peu même y faire une partie de pétanque.
MA-GIQUE!
Magique !
Hors du commun à ne pas manquer
A total anti-climax and not worth the money. So glad we only stayed one night. Stayed in March 2016.
The experience started off with a camel ride. Upon arrival we were greeted with a camel that clearly did not want to co-operate and kneel down for my partner to mount it. This immediately made us feel wary but we were assured that the camel would be fine. Within a couple of minutes of the 45 min trek to camp commencing, the same camel starting playing up again and tried to push over my camel. Again they insisted it would be fine but at this point my partner just said he was getting off. As he’s over 6ft it was easy for him to do. They continued to try and get the camel to kneel again but it had had enough and decided to gallop off. So glad my partner followed his instincts and jumped off when he did. At last they got another camel but by this point I was spooked and wanted to get off my camel. I walked for about 15 mins and then got back on but found the entire journey really uncomfortable having to push my weight back for the entire journey due to what seemed an ill-fitting saddle.
We arrived at camp and was given a quick show around the camp and tent. The tent was huge and well put-together. I was impressed. However, from there it just went downhill. We went up to the camp for a drink and had to hunt down the staff. It became quickly apparent that the camp was being run by the waiter, Abdu, who was helpful and obliging but at the end of the day, he was a waiter.
I’ve just paid near £400 to be hosted by the waiter.
The dinner was the traditional tangine vegetable dish with a tangine lemon chicken dish. There is no menu or choice. You get what you’re given. The food was plentiful and okay.
We thought we were the only people on the camp but then realised that each temp dines separately from the rest of the guests which I think was a major let-down in the experience and where the camp is missing a trick. Another couple and family said the same thing that it would have been better if we all dined together given that there’s only two dishes and everyone is served at the same time. Some people may find ir romantic dining alone in a candle-lit tent but it just seemed a bit segregated.
After dinner, we were told there were board games for us to play but they were just rubbish and there for style rather than substance. Some old dominos with pieces missing. A ches set that was more for décor than function. A pack of cards and that was it. So we ended up going to bed around 9pm after sitting around the campfire for a bit because there was nothing else to do.
That night the heavens opened and the tent was not compromised at all. The sunrise was amazing and we got up early to go for a walk. We swiftly realised that around the hilly backdrop was actually a quarry with a drill and trucks working away. We turned back.
Breakfast was okay. Again dined alone. Then we left the camp at 10:30am.
The place is soulless. Run by a waiter. Not worth the money and that’s coming from a Londoner. Should have listened to my Riad and booked the proper dessert on the other side of the mountains.
This place may work for a big group with loads of activities booked to pass the time during the day but in the evening, it was as dry as toast. I even heard another guest complaining about the yoga session she’d booked. The presentation is fabulous but the follow-up was poor.
