Dar Tafouyte

This has the potential to be an exceptional property. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was not as advertised/expected so we asked for a refund/cancellation. The management was excellent in allowing us to cancel without payment.

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 breakfast was a delight, also the accomodation was clean and in a calm place + very nice and available people

The staff is kind, nice and efficient. The breakfast is nice

There was no hot water neither in the evening nor in the morning and the electricity was cut off in the morning and it was difficult to organize.

awesome place!

good

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
