Excellent, a honeymoon location
Pros: A beautifull accommodation and an excellent service. We were here in early febuary and it was very quiet. Dinner in the restaurant was the best we had in Marocco so far. Fresh made bread and a chocolatemousse to come back for. We had an beautifull room and the staff prepared the fireplace for us. This place felt like our second honeymoon.

Comfortable, friendly and very beautiful.
Pros: The staff were exceptional. They were really helpful when I needed suggestions for day trips and were able to organise guides and taxis. Staff also went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. As a solo woman traveller, the hotel offered support and advice for my trips. I am a vegetarian and the cook served me an excellent variety throughout the week. It’s also worth trying Moroccan wine which is delicious. The hotel is very individual. As the name suggests it is around a garden which is even green in the cold months and also full of birds. I stayed over Christmas and there was a welcoming fire in the main dining room which we were free to use in the day. Staff put up Christmas decorations and we had a local musician to entertain us over dinner in the evenings. It was very festive.
Cons: There was nothing negative about my stay. It IS very cold at this time of year but there are heaters in the rooms. Maybe take your own hot water bottle as you can fill it using the kettles in the rooms.

Beautiful garden and pool designed for hanging out and relaxing.
Pros: This place is super special. The garden is lovely, set amongst olive and pomegranate trees, there are multiples places to sit and relax. The pool area is gorgeous with plenty of towels and daybeds. Basketball, boules, table tennis and badminton kept us entertained. Great Kasbah just up the road for a wee visit. The staff are super lovely and helpful. We loved our stay and wished we had more time.
Cons: Nothing.

A wonderful end to our Morocco trip

A beautiful oasis in an oasis.
Pros: The hotel and the garden are beautiful, such a lovely and peaceful place to stay. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, they helped arrange a taxi back to Ouzarzate. The dinner in the garden by candlelight was also spectacular, the food was delicious, the best I’ve had so far in Morocco. I would not hesitate to stay again.
Cons: That I didn’t stay longer - 2 nights was not enough!

An absolutely lovely peaceful oasis, calm and beautiful, with exceptionally friendly staff
Pros: The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and servings are generous. The property is exceedingly beautiful, with tastefully decorated rooms, a large garden filled with spots to sit and relax, multiple beautiful terraces and a clear respect for traditional building styles and techniques. The most relaxing stay we've had in Morocco so far, set against the stunning backdrop of an arid landscape studded with palm and olive trees, with the snow-capped Atlas mountains looming in the distance.
Cons: If there is one, very minor, point we can make it is that the property doesn’t offer unlimited drinking water to guests, unlike most of the (often cheaper) other riads and hotels we've stayed at. A 1,5l bottle of mineral water is pretty cheap, but it feels generous when it's offered.
