Riad Soleil du Monde

Stayed with Intrepid tour. They did anything and everything for us. Very kind staff, clean rooms, softer beds than usual and soft pillows. Very beautiful riad. All the details and colors. The family put a lot of time and money into it. WiFi good too.

The staff were all very friendly and professional. The rooms were clean and had pleasant decor and were very comfortable. The food was very good and prices reasonable. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

We had a lovely stay at the riad. The owner Yassin is very welcoming and created a beautiful hotel from his historic family house. The riad is located outside Zagora which makes the riad quiet and peaceful. Last but not least: the beds were very comfortable and the pool is lovely. Very much recommended!

I think we booked the cheapest room (it was in the basement), the ones on the 1st/2st floor might be more comfortable (?). Our room was good enough for sleeping but not a place to spend any time, there wasn‘t even enough light to read. The low quality of the room didn‘t bother me, as I was there for the hotel facility, which I found extraordinary for a hotel in this price range: A very nice lobby aka dining room and a very beautiful green garden with a pool (the water of the pool was however freezing cold when I was there in November as it is not heated) - Dinner (salad or soup, tajine, fruits) was with 10 euro per person quite expensive regarding the just ok/normal quality of the food. - Breakfast: If you like sweet bastries in the morning, you are well served as they provide you with a variety of that, which was special. If you don‘t like sweets however, you end up with a rather meager breakfast, as it lacked some standards. Not much (non-sweet) bread, they didn‘t even provide juice (most hotels in morocco do). After asking they served us some milk, but were very frugal with it. To sum it up, it‘s a quite beautiful place with a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. They however know just too-well how to get their money and seemed a bit too business-like for my taste. The junior manager sold us a 1day-1night trip to the sahara (which indeed was the reason why we came to zagora in the first place) for about 200 euro for two persons organized by his uncle. To go for a night to a berber camp in the desert was a great experience we wouldn‘t want to miss, but it seemed rather overpriced and I wouldn’t pay more than max. 120 euro (for 2) next time (better less). If you want to go with their package, I suggest to bargain hard for the price. Don‘t let them confuse you with all those „extra stops on the way“, the only noticeable stop we got was a visit to a pottery, which was interesting, but shouldn‘t effect the over-all price as it was a shill (they try to sell their pottery to you). A visit to an old library was also on the list, but they just skipped that during the tour for unknown reason. What you basically get (and need) is a driver with a 4x4 car who get you to the dunes and the berber camp, where the actual service you are longing for will be provided by those berbers (overnight in a simple hut/tend in the camp, camel ride, dinner and breakfast in the camp). Do yourself a favor and look up the stand-alone price range of those „desert berber camps“, some of them have direct offers on the usual platforms. The salary of the employed driver we‘ve got was about 8-10 euro per day (at least that’s what he told us). Fuel/gasoline, car maintenance, insurance, ... do your math.
