"Great ambience, nice setting."

"The hotel is beautiful…I love how the interior was traditional Moroccan theme but also very contemporary in the execution of the design. The pool is definitely a highlight. It is right alongside the sand. "

"Room was clean and staff was courteous"

"I have to say the resort experience turned out to be truly magical! I reached out to 3 different desert camps, and Hassan was the only one who was incredibly prompt and responsive, When you’re overseas and unsure of what to expect, clear communication makes all the difference. He even arranged our transport from the hotel to the camp, which made everything stress-free. We loved our driver, Imad, so much that we ended up booking our entire 7-day trip with him. He was amazing—patient, reliable and so friendly that he soon became a part of our family—making our entire journey seamless and enjoyable. A huge shout out to Mustafa, our fantastic guide who clicked tons of pics for us making it truly memorable. From the camel rides to the ATV adventures and the Berber tour, every moment was special. Mohammad, the warmest person ever served us exquisite food and made us fall in love with Moroccan cuisine. The Berber songs by the campfire were truly ethereal. We sang, shared stories, and quickly became friends with everyone around us. By the end of the evening, we were no longer strangers but a family gathered around one table. It’s a memory we will always cherish. Hassan also offers transportation services, which made everything immensely convenient. If you have any specific dietary restrictions, let him know in advance — they were thoughtful enough to prepare our meals accordingly, which we truly appreciate. All in all, we returned home with some magical tales !!"

"Tout était charmand, l’accueil, l’espace disponible et la propreté des lieux. Le déjeuner qui était servi le matin était aussi excellent. "

"An Arabian Nights Dream at the Edge of the Dunes If you are traveling to Merzouga, skip the generic resorts and stay at Nasser Palace. This isn't just a hotel; it’s an authentic gateway to the Sahara. Located in Hassilabied, right at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes, it offers an experience that feels like stepping into a movie set. The Vibe: The architecture is stunning—a traditional artisanal kasbah with beautiful carvings and a sprawling central patio. Whether you’re lounging by the emerald-green pool or sitting on the terrace watching the sunrise over the sand, the "Arabian Nights" atmosphere is everywhere. The Desert Experience: They are experts at desert logistics. We did the camel trek into the dunes for sunset, and it was seamless. They also offer 4x4 adventures and sandboarding. Being only a 1-minute walk from the dunes means you can wander out to see the stars whenever you like. The Food: The kitchen here is incredible. Breakfast was amazing, they also serve lunch and dinner. Authentic Wellness: After a dusty day in the desert, the Beldi Spa and Hammam were a godsend. They even offer traditional sand therapy (Sablothérapie) during the summer months, which is a unique local experience you won't find at many other places. Exceptional Hospitality: The staff, led by Lehsen and El Bashir the manager, go above and beyond."

"Cleaning "

"It’s situated within the medina which is ideal although you will need to walk a little way from the Main Street to access it. It was down a dirty alleyway with some cats and poo which wasn’t nice. It’s not their area but perhaps they may need to consider how to make that first area more appealing to guests as it looks awful. Inside it was a very nicely decorated Riad. Breakfast was good and useful. I would say if visiting in winter months that this Riad was very cold. The air con didn’t seem to work in heating up the room. This was the one place where I could see my breath so that was a bit of a drawback. I’m sure in the warmer months it’s very comfortable. "
