Riad Madu

The was a great first camping experience. We took a camel ride (about an hour) into the desert and stayed overnight at this luxury camp. They also have a premium camp option. The tent was beautifully decorated and include a sink, shower and toilet. The staff is also the entertainment and made the evening fun with a fire, music and dancing. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. I highly recommend this camp if you want a desert camping experience.

This is a very nice boutique hotel located at the edge of the desert. The rooms are clean and spacious. Probably the biggest bed I've ever seen (may be the fact that it was on a platform), but clean and comfy. Our only disappointment was there was absolutely nothing to do in the evening. Wish they had organized some entertainment (as other places had) for the guests. The food was good (not great).

This truly is an oasis in the desert. Beautifully appointed, comfortable rooms with a king size bed and a well stocked bathroom. Delightful gardens, a swimming pool overlooking the desert, and multiple places where you can just sit and relax.

Wonderful service and beautiful hotel. Terrific food for dinner and breakfast. Nice rooms Great shower and nice rooms. Definitely the best hotel at the edge of the desert. Only warning- beds are very very very firm. If you don’t mind that there is nothing bad about this place

Rough around the edges and unenthusiastic, mostly bored staff. Food was very average. There was no menu, so we we got what we got. The mattress, pillows and “linens” were terrible. Frayed, small old towels. Pool is nice, but was unheated so too cold to swim. Not a vacation hotel.

Riad Madu must be a desirable name as a few properties share it. Be careful that you get the right one. Our stay here was booked as part of a tour we did through Morocco. The accommodation was pleasant, we especially enjoyed the large fireplace in the common area. WiFi was good in there as well. The bedrooms were spacious and temperature could be controlled quite well. We were there in December and it got cold at night. Showers were easy with reliable hot/cold water and water pressure. The beds were FIRM. Given the cold temps we did not enjoy the courtyard or pool. The least favorite part of the stay was the food. You don't have many options so eating on site is the easiest. What you lose is variety and quality. Nothing about the dinner, breakfast or lunch was notable. The food was utilitarian at best. It wasn't bad but given the location I expected more variety and local flavor than what is offered. There is also limited beverage options and no alcohol. I did see a couple bring their own wine so they allow that if you choose. The organized quad bike excursion was a lot of fun, definitely worthwhile if that's your thing. Everyone was pleasant and helpful on staff and responsive to any requests. Overall not a bad place to stay for a rest, just know that food will not be a highlight.
