The hotel is beautiful…I love how the interior was traditional Moroccan theme but also very contemporary in the execution of the design. The pool is definitely a highlight. It is right alongside the sand.
We really love the ambiance especially the pool with the saharas was just in the front.
We love the amenities and were our room is located
Some of the staff are nice but we noticed while we are relaxing outside at eating breakfast they kept on looking on us like we are not allowed to be free..
The room was spacious and unique but not enough light. The toilet set is moving when we are urinating and doing no 2.
We are disappointed with the dinner. Was too expensive for just a basic appetizer and the dessert was plane banan, apple and dry orange juice with no presentation at all that why all the guest who had the dinner with us didn’t touch the fruits they served.

Great option for a short stay. Right on the edge of the desert with easy access.
We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Kanz Erremal!
The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
The location is its biggest highlight , right by the dunes and truly beyond expectations. My room was at the rooftop, it gave me a luxury to watch the sunrise in the dunes privately! I also danced under the stars!
If you wanna make the instagram famous pool video you can do it from rooftop or you can take room number 24. Only this room has the best view.
The drawback, the washroom smell was quite disturbing.
And the breakfast was so so!

Room was nice, the location is great, but they can do so much more with the space, better sunbeds, put some sun shades / parasols (when I asked why they didn’t have sun shades the receptionist was surprised and said I’m the first guest asking. Which is weird in the dessert!) Nice music at the pool area and in the restaurant would be nice. The general toilet was very dirty. We had only 2 towels for 4 persons.
The dinner was delicious and more than enough!
We loved our stay it is much better than the pictures show, staff was so friendly and accommodating that we extended our stay for two more nights. We also took a camel excursion over night and they let us keep our bags in our room for free one night while away. I would recommend this to my family and friends to visit.
What a view of the Dunes from the pools and roof top deck!!

The pool is a a delight and for that reason we would return to stay here. It was wonderful to be able to swim and relax whilst looking over the desert. The hotel itself is fine but needs some TLC in the rooms although this wasn't a deal-breaker. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast wasn't great compared to everywhere else we stayed.
Property was beautiful. Staff weren’t really very helpful. Would have liked some info on tours as I had previously asked about on WhatsApp. Ended up booking stuff with someone else
Fabulous few nights. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The meals were custom ordered and excellent quality. The location cannot be beat – the pool is beautiful albeit too cold to enjoy. They tried hard to make us feel comfortable and feel welcomed. Covid has taken a huge chunk out of the gem that this place could be, but I am glad we visited. I would recommend it to anyone.
We were 4 friends and had 2 nights stay, literally they are charging you +-200$ per night for their Swimming pool, everything else is bad. The staff is not supportive and very negative people, Sahara Desert and they don't offer any water at all. The charged us 20dh/2€ for water bottle many times because we had no option in the desert . THE AC was on for 24 hour straight and it wasn’t cooling so we had to clean the filters by ourselves.
It was a really bad experience! The owner of the hotel is rude and aggressive. We were charged for the breakfast even though it was included.
Staff cannot speak English which makes communication difficult.
However, the owner is the worst and rudest of them all. We wanted to spend the afternoon on the hotel facilities after having checked out. We were nearly screamed at that we have to leave the property as we have already checked out. The hotel has not been full, nor were a lot of people inside of the hotel. It was a really uncomfortable and unprofessional situation. We will definitely never stay at this property again.

Lo mejor de este hotel es, sin duda, su ubicación y la zona de la piscina, que resulta idílica y está integrada en un entorno desértico espectacular.
Sin embargo, las habitaciones necesitan una reforma. En nuestro caso, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y tuvimos que pasar una noche muy calurosa, con temperaturas cercanas a los 40 °C. Informamos de la incidencia al personal, aunque la respuesta no fue todo lo resolutiva que esperábamos.
El personal es amable y, en general, intenta que la estancia sea lo más cómoda posible.
La cena fue muy satisfactoria, pero el desayuno buffet nos pareció algo escaso para la categoría y el nivel que el hotel pretende ofrecer.
En conjunto, es un hotel con mucho encanto y una ubicación privilegiada, aunque necesita mejorar algunos aspectos relacionados con el mantenimiento de las habitaciones y la calidad del desayuno.
Je tiens à partager mon expérience pour prévenir les autres voyageurs, et en particulier les femmes.
Le séjour avait très bien commencé : accueil chaleureux, disponibilité, gentillesse… jusqu’à ce qu’un incident grave se produise.
Une personne liée à l’établissement, en qui j’avais accordé ma confiance et qui nous avait accompagnées durant notre séjour, a eu un comportement totalement inapproprié et a dépassé les limites sans mon consentement, dans un contexte isolé en soirée.
J’ai dû réagir fermement et quitter immédiatement la situation avec ma fille. Ce moment a été extrêmement choquant et m’a mise dans un profond malaise.
Je tiens à être très claire : peu importe la gentillesse ou les services rendus auparavant, rien ne justifie un tel comportement.
Je recommande donc aux femmes voyageant seules ou avec des enfants d’être particulièrement vigilantes et de ne jamais ignorer leur instinct.
C’est dommage, car le lieu est beau et le séjour avait bien commencé, mais la sécurité et le respect doivent passer avant tout.
Je ne peux pas recommander cet établisseme
Abbiamo soggiornato per una sola notte e l’esperienza è stata nel complesso positiva. La camera era ampia, molto pulita e dotata di ogni confort (condizionatore, ecc). Vista eccezionale sul deserto.
La cena è stata gradevole ma il menu fisso è stato limitante. Mentre la colazione è stata una pecca in quanto il cibo era completamente freddo.
Nel complesso, un soggiorno piacevole con qualche aspetto migliorabile.
