Did miss I something? chose this hotel for the wife & 2yr old son as a result of previous reviewers comments. when we pulled up at the hotel it looked like a bomb had hit it with construction work going on & rubbish everywhere; it honestly looked like a dump. Whilst it undoubtly has a fantastic location with views out to the desert, the hotel itself has no character compared to several other Riad/guesthouses we had stayed in. the staff were friendly & helpful but the hotel itself reminded me of a fake butlins attempt at a sahara guesthouse. there was walls collapsed into the courtyard gardens as well as rubbish cigarette butts in them. the pool looks gorgeous, but on closer inspection is filthy, with a lot of tiles missing, a step had giant piece of it missing, & ice cold.
the only redeeming quality was their overnight trek into the desert away from the hotel. Mohammed who led our camels was a star, really friendly nice guy who made us very welcome & looked after us. the desert camp was very pleasant, comfortable a fantastic experience. our toddler loved it.
I would not recommend the hotel
