We have just spent one week at Kasbah Le Mirage Spa. This Kasbah is truly home from home. If you can embrace the whole concept of Morroco living and its village way of life a little of the beaten track but easily accessible by hotel shuttle to restaurant and the famous El Fna sqaure then this is the place for you! Rooms cleaned and moped daily, fresh towels, four poster bed, key safe provided in room. Yosif the chef was amazing with his dishes every night we embraced the Moroccon food wonderful! The reception spoke excellent english so please do not believe all you read from others it is easy to communicate. Wi Fi DOES WORK. There are dedicated areas to sign into and I run a very small business and had no problems connecting with people albeit a little slow but remember you are close to the Atlas Mountains after all. The Moroccon people are wonderful, cheerful, friendly and kind, The pool was on the large side and soft music playing lovely, If you can embrace the village way of life and speak with the children and people then they welcome you with open arms. We even bought the young boys in the square a football and the smile on their face said it all. We will most certainly return, the weather is 38 degrees in October and we had one of the best holidays we could ever imagine Just go open minded and remember it is not the Ritz in London but honest, sincere, warm and friendly please try!!

Wonderful stay in an authentic Riad in the desert outside of Marrakech. Surrounded by palms, camels and sand this beautiful ancient Riad has a pool, a poolside bar, a well appointed dining area, an indoor and outdoor garden area and free wifi. Chef on-site with a standard Moroccan menu offers up fresh baked goods for a morning buffet breakfast. Riad can only be reached by vehicle as the location is remote. There is a knowledgeable and friendly driver on site who does twice daily runs into Marrakech and took us high up into the snow covered mountains and to Essourra for a day of shopping.

This traditional Moroccan Riad is about 30 minutes outside of the Marrakesh medina. It’s location is a remote desert setting surrounded by a residential village with lots of young kids, groups of camels, ATV rentals, palm trees and stray dogs. The Riad itself is authentic, an old fort like structure with a beautiful open courtyard complete with flowering plants and koi. There are 26 rooms, all ensuite, with modern plumbing and comfortable beds. Bedding is changed and rooms are cleaned daily. There is a heater/AC in every room. There are three dining rooms, two opening out onto beautiful potted gardens and a smaller one in the area of a well stocked bar. Breakfast was available every morning before guests left for their tours & was more than enough to last us all until tea time. Fruit, pastries, pie, cakes, eggs, toast and fresh buns, orange juice, coffee, tea, milk and hot water. The menu for dinner was not huge but covered more than enough choices of home made meals, soups, salad and fish. All served with fresh bread & bottled water. We tried the local Casablanca wine and it was lovely! Hassan, the Kasbah’s wonderful driver took us up into Atlas Mountains, on a breathtaking tour of remote Berber villages, cafes and craft shops. We had a tour of the location for filming of Game of Thrones and walked in and around the oldest Kasbah in North Africa. Hassan also drove us to Essaouira on the coast and gave us a tour along the way. Goats in trees, Argan Oil co-ops and the medina. Hassan’s English is limited but his French was easy to understand even though our high school French was last studied almost 60 years ago.

Had a lovely mini break here (4 days) mid-september. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is the place to come! In the middle of nowhere with no noise other than the sounds of nature and a few animals (mainly donkeys & dogs) outside the kasbah. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Room was spacious and comfortable decorated in the old style of the kasbah. Stunning sunsets viewed from the rooftop lounge area!, although rooftop bar not open you can take drinks up from the restaurant/terrace bar. Lovely Morrocan/continental breakfast consisting of lots of homemade breads and cakes/croissants, cold meats/cheese, cereals and yoghurts, fresh juice and all the tea and coffee you can drink (if you're looking for a full English this is not the place for you!). Free return shuttle provided daily into the Medina if required. They can exchange currency into Dirhams but only Euros, couldn't exchange pounds sterling. Swimming pool was lovely and very quiet, pool bar not open but great for lazing around or doing a few laps and cooling off and can get drinks from the restaurant/terrace bar to take to the pool. We booked half board so evening meal included was typical Moroccan tagines, different one every night and all very nice. Separate menu for purchasing dinner and lunches if required, which we indulged in a few lunches, all very good, reasonably priced and good choice. Would definitely go back after having done the big resorts with the aquaparks for the kids twice previous in the past, this was a more quiet authentic experience for me and the hubbie to take a break.
