Staying at Dar Ahlam was magical. I'm a Four Seasons-type of girl, and am always skeptical of non-FS properties. But Dar Ahlam was awesome. It's an old kasbah from the 1920's- when we first got there, I was thinking "this is kind of old and dark"- but trust me, that's part of the charm. Winding narrow staircases, little rooms and...

We spent 3 days in a kind of 3 stars room. The shower was terrible. The food was good and the service was ok. More

We had a booking in place for 18 people for May 2012 and planned to take the entire hotel - all rooms and suites. We had it confirmed in writing with all of the relevant dates, details, pricing, etc. confirmed. Out of the blue, the management said that they had another group coming in and could no longer honor our... More

We stayed for 2 nights as part of a longer visit to Morocco. The hotel closes for a month in summer and had just reopened when we arrived and for our first night we were the only people staying there. Just us, the manager William (or should that be Guillaume as he was French but spoke perfect English) and 70... More

This is a magical place, as soon as you enter the non assuming doors, it turns into a wonderful visual oasis. The rooms are wonderful and the food, sensational. You will never eat the same thing twice, nor eat at the same dining area. Don't miss out on a night in the dessert, ask for details with your booking. More

Nothing can prepare you for the experience of Dar Ahlam. As you enter the Kasbah you surrender your senses to another world and reawaken the child within; who dreamed of living in such a magical palace. To call it a hotel misses the point. The wonderful staff are lowkey but provide excellent service - without getting in the way and... More

At the risk of repeating the what the other reviews have said, let me add that the Dar Ahlam is absolutely dreamy. Fabian and his staff truly make the experience. The service is outstanding and the personal attention is authentic. We enjoyed a lovely villa for three magical nights. True, the air conditioning went out the first night in the... More

I'm sure that the above superlative is taken by many with a grain of skepticism, however, I truly have not stayed in a better place. We are Relais & Chateaux 5C members, and the price points and luxury promised are not new territory for us, and this establishment truly rises above many great places and experiences we have had.

Five mails later,with cryptic error messages we give up.We had similar issues with other hotels in this region,but they all recovered their form and provided a good to excellent booking service.So going up here,miss this establishment,and go to Les Jardins de Skoura or to Tourmalines in Quarzazate-they will respond to you,and engage. Very disappointing -this looked so good on the... More
