Guest reviews for El Manzar
"compfy beds with an electric blanket, splendid view, nice food, nicely decent decoration, very pleasent atmosphere"
"Aucun."
"The views of the ocean were absolutely amazing. The property is very beautiful with a lot of attention to aesthetics. There are many pretty nooks and balconies to hang out in. The bed and linens were comfy. The only issue was that the bathroom smelled a little and the toilet got clogged."
"Aucun."
"Beautifully located, well equipped and with a minimalist esthetic. While very decent, not too posh. Restaurants around the corner, lagoon 10 mins by foot. Good breakfast served in the common (living) room. Accessible terrace with breathtaking sun set view to the lagoon and ocean."
"Cat lovers who are not allergic will love them: The house cats are around all the time. Our room was smelling a bit humid which made us decide to not stay another night."
"Featuring exceptional views to the lagoon. The staff is very helpful and breakfast was great. We loved the decoration mixing simplicity with tradition giving it a peaceful feel. 5 min walk to shops, restaurants and cafes. There is a 15 min walk to the beach/little hoping port to take to the other side of the lagoon."

"The minimalist design is beautiful and the room is very clean. A magnificent view of the lagoon with a beautiful garden in the back."

"This place was the perfect spot to relax into holiday mode. The staff were lovely and very accommodating and fellow guests were friendly when using the share lounge, balcony etc. I felt safe walking around this area as a solo female traveller."
"The bed was firm for my liking but still among the better ones during my time in Morocco."
"The view and the architecture and the bed warmers the staff was nice too."
"We stayed in the room that is the closest to the front gate. And the neighbors dog was very loud. That’s really the only down side. We will definitely spend more next time and get the room upstairs with the view."
"The view from the bedroom was excellent looking out over the south Atlantic from my bed"
"There were not many restuarants available as it was out of season"
"Great place to stay, very comfortable bed, great breakfast and nice people. We decided to stay a second night!"
"Just the shower can be fixed so the water can flow better. That’s it!"
"We had the garden room that was very nice and clean. It had a very comfortable bed and even a heating blanket, so it was not cold at all! Breakfast was super tasty and the people are very nice and welcoming. Great place to stay with a nice view over the lagoon!"
"The shower can be better, that’s all!"

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

Paul Hotel Palace Zaida
"Quiet location, garbage to store the bicycles. Shared bathroom was clean and close to the room, which had its own sink. Good hot shower. Friendly owners."
Casey Hotel Imilchil
"We had a lovely stay with my wife and our two kids. The place is peaceful and perfect for relaxing as a family. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfast was delicious – fresh, generous, and the best way to start the day with that amazing view and the old village. Highly recommended!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at “Kasbah du Bout”. The host was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. The Kasbah was very clean and well kept. We experienced a relaxing atmosphere and stay. We recommend staying here when visiting Zagora. Fred K. United States."
"Amazing camp accessible by car. We only had front-wheel drive Dacia, so it was a bit difficult to get there. If you go, lease a 4x4 for sure. We only wanted a day trip on camels, so we arrived by car. There are many camps that you can visit on a multi-day trip on camels deeper in the desert, however, if you only want a day trip on camels and have car, this is a must-visit. Personnel superb, food superb Bathroom facilities better than most hotels, in the tent (available outside of tent as well - they have public bathrooms) They booked a day trip on camels. We wanted to try this limited version before going on a multiple day trip on camels. I suggest telling them that you don't want to spend 4h on the lunch break. It's too long. 2h of break is enough. You go about 2h on camels' backs and then back after lunch. This camp was top 2 experiences we had in morocco. If you want larger and more iconic sand dunes, visit Merzouga. The dunes here are small, yet beautiful"
