My niece and I took this trip together to Morocco and it was absolutely amazing. Our driver, Hamza, was outstanding and really made the trip extra special. He is a wonderful man, and he made everything so easy. He made us feel very safe. We hope to travel with him again! All the guides were great with excellent English. Mustafa was especially good and made our day in Fes a really enjoyable one. Riads were also wonderful, especially Chez Pierre.

Hotel Reviews
Riad Cinnamon
Marrakesh

This Riad was nice, but it was very hard to find in the middle of the Medina. Also, the room was a little tough to maneuver, there were a couple steps down into the living room, them a couple more to the bathroom. A lot of curvy steps up to the bedroom. Very dark also, the lighting everywhere in the room was poor. Breakfast was wonderful, and all of the people who worked there were very nice and helpful and their English was good.

Authenticity & Character
Very traditionally decorated, and the lobby/ breakfast area was charming.
Location
Put a sign up outside with the name on it and light the entry. It’s spooky at night finding it.
Staff
Friendly, helpful, and good English
Cleanliness & Comfort
The lighting in the room needs to be improved.
Auberge Chez Pierre
Boumalne Dades

This was the best place I stayed during the whole trip. The room was small but very comfortable and nicely decorated. The rooms are separated from each other and nicely private. Very nice people working there, and the very best thing was the 5 course French dinner, which was absolutely amazing. Definitely eat there!

Authenticity & Character
So charming! Rooms and grounds are beautiful
Location
Nestled into a hill very close to the beautiful geographic sights of the area.
Staff
Very friendly people, very helpful and provided great customer service.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Everything!
Luxury Camp Chebbi
Merzouga

This is a must see and do if you visit Morocco, it’s just amazing.

Authenticity & Character
The luxury tents are very comfortable and private. The firepit in the middle is so welcoming and charming.
Location
A camel ride to a luxury camp in the Sahara desert, it’s like a dream
Staff
Very accommodating and friendly. The entertainment was unforgettable
Cleanliness & Comfort
This is literally a luxury oasis in the desert
Riad Anata
Fès

Nice place, quite charming. Said was the best part of this Riad, very helpful and always available.

Authenticity & Character
The rooms and lobby are nicely decorated, and the rooftop is a nice place for breakfast.
Location
Great location in the Medina, we felt safe here and it was easy to find and get to restaurants and shops
Staff
Again, Said was very helpful
Cleanliness & Comfort
Clean, but a little difficult with all the stairs. Lighting could be improved also.
Hilton Garden Inn Casablanca Sud
Casablanca

Fine place, has the amenities like a restaurant/ bar, laundromat (except that’s unavailable on weekends which was a problem for us as we had planned to make use of that and were unable to). This is what Americans are used to I’m a Hilton garden inn. Not charming but clean and comfortable.

Authenticity & Character
This is not a hotel that is supposed to be charming it is what it is.
Location
This hotel is not near anything we wanted to see or do in Casablanca.
Staff
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean, no crazy stairs, good lighting
