Beautiful Riad
We had a fabulous week at this property. It is beautifully and tastefully designed and decorated. The staff were discreet and helpful, they cooked all our meals and did a very good job, the Pastilla is definately worth a try. The pool is a great size and the family spent many fun hours in it. We used the bikes to cycle round Taroudant and enjoyed a drive up the Atlas mountinas Tizi and Test pass as well as visiting Tiout Oasis where they filmed Ali Ba Ba and the 40 theives. The staff also booked us massages, Morroccan style- much appreciated. The views to the mountains are epic. We did have a very stressful hour on arrival, having travelled from Scotland to find the Riad had people in and had been doubled booked! However the staff were very good in mananging this situation and sent the others to a local hotel while we checked in! It would be great to have some information in English as the staff and welcome literature is a french only affair. We muddled through with google translate and school level french! We loved exploring the area, so totally different from anything we have seen, very unspoilt and not really a 'normal' tourist destination. Everyone we meet was super friendly and warm towards us. Beware there is much poverty in this region and whilst everyone is very kind there is not a tourist framework. As one guide book said, if you reach Tarourdant you know you have really travelled.

Séjour au Palais des Sables
Loger au Riad le Palais des sables avec une délégation officielle d’élus; demandait calme, élégance, professionnalisme. Nous avons tout eu avec en plus, la gentillesse et la simplicité de nos hôtes. Taraudant est une ville authentique, qui saura enchanter les vrais découvreurs du monde. J’aimerai y revenir avec mes amis.

Oasis dans Taroudant la brulante
Un style remarquable lié à la fabrication en pisé, un beau jardin où se nichent les oiseaux. Une grande piscine. Service en tout point remarquable. Une forme de vrai luxe, mélange d'authenticité discrète et de vrai confort

Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable au Palais des sables. Cet endroit est absolument exceptionnel, tout y est calme, luxe et volupté. La décoration est d’un goût exquis, les chambres sont très grandes, la literie parfaite. Et que dire du personnel, de Touria qui gère la maison et qui est toujours là pour anticiper et répondre à chaque besoin ! Elle et son équipe mitonnent de délicieux repas tout au long de la journée, nous nous sommes régalés !! Merci à Olivia et tout le personnel du Palais des sables pour ce sublime séjour !! Nous espérons avoir l’occasion de revenir !!

Un havre de paix en pleine ville
Magnifique séjour dans ce véritable havre de paix. L'endroit est magique avec son jardin et sa piscine en pleine ville. Les chambres sont spacieuses et celles aux étages bénéficient de vues splendides sur les montagne de l'anti Atlas. Service très attentionné et cuisine locale authentique et de qualité. Beaucoup de belles choses à voir dans les alentours. Une adresse à recommender sans l'ombre d'une hésitation!
