Dar el Janoub — Hotel in Caïdat de Taouz

Accommodation en location: Beautiful! |But watch out, if you make a deal with manager Mohammed... ||644752149||First: Tip to the real (Italian?) owner: make the guy from the reception the manager! He is the smart one! Really nice guy. |The manager you have now, (Mohammed) doesn't speak English very well and when convineent for him, he misunderstands you. . |With the right manager (and right cook...) Dar El Janoub would be great! The Kasbah and the location is beautiful! |My girlfriend and I (46 jr) are used to travelling around the world. Sometimes sober, sometimes sjiek. I found that the staff from Dar El Janoub was very friendly. (Really nice people!) The guy behind the bar (and also the host in the restaurant) was a funny and a nice person. |The guy at the reception was a smart en relaxt person. He spoke véry good English. If I was the owner, I would make him the Manager! |(I would not make Omar manager. My girlfriend was affraid off him, because of his behavior and words.)||Long story short: We agreed a price for a room. My girlfriend wife and I stayed at Janoub for 4 nights. Al good. |And now why I am so pissed: when I wanted to pay, the price was suddenly dubbeld: twice as much as we -CLEARLY-agreed. |The hole conversation about this ruïnd my good mood for a while. The manager act like he didn't understand any logic. He repeated his own words and that was it.|This is not a discussion/situation you want to have in Marokko. (I meen: never!)|Also: The information about the rooms on Booking.com is NOT correct. ||Free advise for the owner: (Rico? The Italian architect?) |* Get a manager who understands Englisch, better then Mohammed. | (Your guy at the reception would be a great manager!)|* ALWAYS let the manager (and booking.com) be CLEAR and HONNEST!||Then your Dar El Janoub- paradise would really be a paradise! The place is...

I have not rated Dar El Janoub 5-stars because it is an over-the-top luxurious hotel. I have given the rating based on its overall combination of location, room quality, amenities, service and food.||||First is the location. It is immediately beside the dunes. You can sit on the shaded patio and enjoy a cold beer (yes, they serve alcohol) staring out at the dunes, you can arrange a camel ride from the doorstep, or you can hike up into the dunes at sunset and sunrise, as we did.||||The rooms are actually self-contained cabins. There is an immense sense of privacy. The rooms themselves are larger than the norm in Morocco, with fairly basic furnishings.||||There is a modest-sized pool, more for cooling off than getting a strenuous swim workout. The rooftop deck is nice for star-watching at night.||||The dining room is very nice. Dinner was a set menu. The food was very good. I saw another review saying it was their best meal in Morocco. I wouldn't go that far, but it was all we could ask for.||||Breakfast is a fairly basic buffet set out in the dining room, mostly a selection of Moroccan and European-style pastries along with a few hot dishes.||||One drawback is the wifi. The signal really only works near the reception area. It is free though and you're on vacation so quit checking your work emails. (As I frequently...

A very nice place with all the conforts!the breakfast was really delicious with traditional maroccan food like "obs melewi" (arab bread) and "wisky berber" ( traditional thè).Omar,the menager,has been very nice and always ask about our desires and he really cared about our conforts! We have been in Sahara with the hotel's staff:they were not really organized; they have not informed us that there was not water at all to drink or to wash ourselves,fortunately we had some bottles of water,at less, we have been able to drink! toilette was a kind of chemical bath...really bad...so we have peed in the desert; because of the precedents accords, by mail, we waited for a best place, but experience has repaid these errors.By the way,before to go,ask clearly all details to be able to organize the night...
