I had the best experience, and in fact, this was possibly the best trip I’ve ever had, even as an experienced traveller. From the initial planning stages, to the airport drop off at the end, everything was perfectly and seamlessly handled. Where things didn’t go as planned (things outside of anyone’s control such as a sand storm on the day of my camel sunset ride) they more than made up for it by upgrading my hotel at the next stop. But the best part of it all was my experienced personal driver, Soufain, without whom this trip would not have been the same. Not only did he “protect” me (as a single female travelling on her own) from aggressive vendors and scammers, but he made sure that my every need was taken care of. Thank you, Soufian! Hope to see you again when I bring my family 😃

Hotel Reviews
Riad Braya
Fes Medina

Luxurious accommodation in the middle of a bustling medicine. Lots of stairs, so not for those with mobility issues. I felt bad for the serving staff who served me breakfast on the rooftop patio, five flights up! The room was fantastic. Luxurious and comfortable.

Right I. The Medina, but means hauling your luggage quite a ways, them up multiple floors!

Auberge Chez Pierre
Boumalne Dades

This place is fabulous. Good restaurant, pool is fantastic, even though it was too cold to go into when I was there (not heated, cold in November). The room was comfortable, cozy, and delightful

Chefchaouen

This was possibly my favourite spot to rest on my Morocco trip. Right in the heart of the Medina (which also meant someone had to haul my luggage. Long ways from the drop off to the hotel!), with. Great breakfast that was included. I chose to get a hammam and massage there for 1100 DM and both were good, although next time, I might choose a hammam where the locals get it because of the mark up for tourists. Overall, a great experience. The room had a lot of character and was very comfortable. Best thing is that it’s conveniently in the heart of the Medina

Riad Mokhtar Tanger
Tangier

Great location, good breakfast, very comfortable rooms. Minimal staff, but very accommodating. Overall, I would definitely choose this Riad again.

Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca

What can I say. It’s a hotel in a large city. Hardly fancy. After staying in the riads the rest of the trip, this was a disappointment, not because there was much wrong, but I prefer the riads hands down. This hotel room is about the same level as a holiday inn in North America. Nothing fancy. Small. No frills.
