Valeria Dar Atlas Resort All Inclusive

If you're considering a family trip or a relaxing getaway, don't let the negative reviews hold you back—this place is a gem! We had a fantastic time from start to finish. The resort offers great value for money with a wide variety of tasty food options and drinks always flowing (yes, even if the wine isn't top-shelf, there's plenty of it!). The staff truly go above and beyond—they work incredibly hard and play a huge role in making the experience special. If I could tip every one of them, I would! The entertainment was delightful, and the pools were a big hit—perfect for both kids and adults. As for comments about it not being “English-friendly,” we found that to be complete nonsense. We had no issues at all. We’re a well-traveled family of five with three girls, and this trip made Morocco feel extra memorable. If you find a good deal—go for it! Chances are, you’ll love it just as much as we did.

Recommend this hotel…It’s outside of Marrakesh (however transfers into the city are available from the hotel - see photo). Rooms are basic, but clean & beds were comfortable. Each room as a small outside area/balcony. The rooms are called ‘raids’ & have an open space in the centre. The food is fresh & varied - bottled water is available. There are outside ovens also so be sure to look outside for your meals too! The entertainment team are welcoming & friendly. The hotel has 2 pools, one for adults only. There is no ATM at this hotel, but they will exchange money. (We’d recommend using the ATM just before you leave the airport as you do not pay a fee) - there is also a ATM at the sister hotel a short walk away. At the sister hotel you can also use their pool & waterpark. (See photo). Excursions are available, including the Atlas Mountains/sand buggies/camel rides etc. Spa is recommended - go to the actual building to book as they have more offers - the main building only offers spa packages. Single massages can be booked.

Did not enjoy our stay at all. We booked the hotel based off the pictures and the 4 star rating it had. However, when you get there it’s nothing like it. Rooms dated, not clean just for context my bedside lamp was hanging off the wall. The shower was old and basic and the toilet leaked the whole time and the food in general was terrible. The staff down in the bar near reception were all rude and seemed like they couldn’t be bothered serving us. There are a few occasions but there was one guy who always just chucked the water bottles on the bar instead of giving it me and they never actually acknowledged I was even there. They also tell you there’s a snack bar but that just doesn’t exist. They also have a sign where you can only grab 2 drinks per person however they allowed some to grab 4 or more at once. We went to try and use the water park but the water wasn’t running on the slide and there were not staff there to tell us what was going on. My partners dad complained about the AC not working (bearing in mind it was 40 degrees) and they did nothing to fix it and they completely ignored his complaint. By the end of the holiday all of us got food poisoning and couldn’t wait to leave.
