A NYE from hell:
We booked this months in advance during NYE, with the intent of proposing to my fiance during the last sunset but instead we paid quite the price for what it appears to be the worst value for our money.
Getting to our tent, we were surprised but how dirty it was, we expected some dust since it’s in the middle of the desert but the tent had mold all over it and the toilet was not even flushed.
No toiletries, no water…we had to climb a hill to go to reception and get it.
We requested in advance a hair dryer and an iron since my fiance wanted to get ready for the NYE and was excited about the sunset (without her knowing it was the moment where I’ve planned to pop the question).
After asking at the reception and calling multiple times to get the iron and the hair dryer, they finally said that some other room took it and they dont have a spare one, imagine paying 1,000$ and the place doesn’t even have enough irons/hair dryer. Long story short my fiance ended up another wrinkled but black dress and did a hair bun to only miss the sunset and miss the perfect moment to propose. I guess it was never meant to be.
This is not an attack against the staff, they were the best, but more criticism of the owners to put more resources i’ve been to 2 stars riads with better equipment. don’t only think about profit and instead try to capture the essence of moroccan hospitality, profit will eventually come later.
