Kasbah Tamadot

The resort itself is breathtaking, and the staff are wonderful. However, they are not taking good care of the animals on the property. One of the mules had a terrible infection on both front legs. When I reported it to the front desk, I was told it was dust. The next day, I returned with photos, and the same man who had brushed me off followed me outside and told me that a doctor comes to treat the mule weekly. But it was obvious the mule hadn’t received any care—his front legs were covered in scabs and open wounds, and flies were biting at them. Better care and hygiene would make this preventable. If you have the chance to visit, please check on the mules in the paddock at the very back of the property. They are lovely and deserve better treatment.

My partner and I have visited this hotel many times pre earthquake and after. We like to go at least twice a year. We love the excellent service and have got to know all the staff whose service is always above and beyond Before the renovations we always had our favourite tent which we loved. On our last stay here in January we stayed in one of the new rooms and the experience was wonderful. This time we stayed in room 51 which is a tent room opposite the duck pond and has its own hot tub. We were welcomed by Hussain for this sat as always. It is nice to be greeted by a familiar face and the other members of staff at the front desk. That is Kasbah Tamadot. It is like coming home. The new build restaurant where we have breakfast and dinner is stunning and the service is exceptional. On our many stays here in the morning and at lunch time there is Ibrahim who is one of the longest serving waiters and he always greets us with a smile and knows exactly what my partner wants to drink. Expresso Martini with 5 beans:), made by our favourite mixologist Hajid (may have spelt his name wrong but he knows who he is), as he has never forgotten the very first time he was instructed how to make it by my partner. In the evening we have Rabbi (Colombo). We tell him he looks and walks like the actor who played Colombo :). Colombo is always helpful and ready to assist. We love at the end of our dinner in the main dining room to sit by the fire and have drinks. It is our favourite place and Colombo will add another log to the fire when directed as soon as we see the fire is ebbing away. We also recognised a staff member who used to be in a different location and that is Mohammed who used to work by the pool. He is now in the dining room and we were happy to see him and he did an excellent job working alongside Colombo. They wait patiently until we finish our drinks and we walk back to our room with the frogs croaking away. Kasbah Tamadot we waited a year for you to reopen after the earthquake and it was worth it. We missed you and you are back better than ever. See you soon.

Our stay at Kasbah Tamadot was nothing short of extraordinary. The views of the Atlas Mountains are simply breathtaking and create a sense of calm and perspective that is hard to put into words. The staff is exceptional and kind, which is no surprise as they are lead by Hosni, the Guest Service Manager, who sees that everyone’s stay is magical. Our riad was absolutely beautiful, with its own private pool overlooking the Atlas Mountains. It felt incredibly special and private, and was truly one of those spaces you never want to leave. Our kids luxury tent was also outstanding with ample space for them to lounge. Traveling with our kids, it struck the perfect balance of luxury and livability. They loved the ability to be active and independent during their down time- working out (with the most incredible views) playing tennis, kicking a soccer ball around, and swimming in the pool. The food was exceptional across the board, and the live music in the evenings added such a beautiful, authentic touch. We loved that there was a pool table so we could enjoy a cocktail while kids entertained themselves. We also visited the nearby craft village, where we were able to see woodworking and weaving firsthand. It was incredibly beautiful to watch, and we were so happy to support the local crafts people by bringing home several pieces. What truly stayed with us was an experience was hiking up to, then making and having lunch in a local family’s home high in the Atlas Mountains (Armed). It was deeply moving. It was the first time our kids had ever seen a family living without heat, hot running water, or even doors. It gave all of us a powerful sense of perspective and gratitude and created a memory that will stay with our family forever. We cannot wait to return.

This is my and my husband second time here , we came back to bring our two adult children to see this piece of paradise . When I’m there I can stop feeling that in am in heaven it’s perfect , the people and service plus food is perfect . We travel a lot but this place is a standout place and if you can afford it don’t miss it and stay at least two days to get the whole experience .This is where you come to turn off those phones and just enjoy life

We spent several nights on our own at Kasbah Tamadot recuperating from a very active 12 day tour of Morocco. It is well located only an hour’s drive from Marrakech, but feels much further removed from city life. It’s rustic luxury. There are several hikes available but the weather was cold and wet, and as I said we were there to relax. We did take a guided visit to the weekly souk market in the Berber village which was a highlight of our 3 week trip. There are so many tourists in Morocco that it can be a challenge to know how the people live outside of that influence. We were the only tourists at this very busy market and it was fascinating. The staff at the Kasbah are warm and friendly, and our meals were delicious. Beautiful decor and inviting public spaces. Would love to visit again!
