Kasbah Tamadot

We loved this place. During our life we have stayed in thousands of hotels and this one is one of the best. First the hotel is laid out beautifully with wonderful views of the mountains .It is built to look like a Kasbah and has interesting and pretty landscaping. There are indoor and outdoor pools and gyms and tennis courts. The pools are both heated . While we were there it was unusually warm so we enjoyed the pool. It was heaven. Service throughout the hotel was outstanding. Every request was quickly addressed. The food varried. Breakfast and lunch were very good. We had 2 dinners and this was our only disappointment. The menu was limited and the food I would call mediocre.There is only one restaurant. I would say staying here should be on your agenda if you come to Morocco. We took the half day tour treaking in the mountains and enjoyed that. There are ample snacks and the whole minibar is free of charge . I liked that there is no nickel and diming here .

A spectacular setting. Staff are delightful and could not be more helpful. Last night Ishmael was really interesting about Berber history as well as being an excellent waiter. Hamid (I hope I have remembered his name correctly) has been especially helpful with breakfast that we like to have sitting in the sun on the terrace of our Berber tent. The mini bar is well stocked, wine, beer and sodas and is included in the price. Spirits are not included in the mini bar, but are available from room service. Downside of our Berber tent: the wall separating the bathroom and sleeping area does not go up to the ceiling, therefore, bathroom pongs can be shared! There is a step up from seating area to sleeping and bathroom areas, tricky to manoeuvre a mid night wee, without disturbing a sleeping partner!! One of the things that attracted us to Tamadot was the small size and the fact that the staff are local Berbers. The site is being developed and we understand that means that they will be getting staff from outside the area. Shame! True luxury is privacy and quiet. Food is good and aimed at the European palate as well as Moroccan tagines etc. The dining room is in a HUGE Berber style tent with fires at each end, and can be chilly, we are here in October. despite the patio type heaters. Bring a jumper! A great experience. Thank you! PS. A lot longer to Marrakech than

We were a bit nervous on booking that the rebuilding work would be complete, especially when we arrived to find the main entrance closed. We were soon relaxed though and had an amazing three nights in such a beautiful location with the friendliest, most helpful hotel staff that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I soon lost track of time staying in our Berber tent (which was large and well appointed with a private balcony and garden area). Food is very high quality and the dining restaurant very intimate. Highlights included watching ‘Casablanca’ by starlight and visiting a local Berber village. The pool is amazing and the Spa massage one of the best that I have had. We could have happily stayed longer.
