“A must visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

My partner and I visited Kasbah Igoudar January 2013. We wanted a few days away for my 58th birthday preferably where neither of us had been. Morocco fitted the bill just perfect. We then got an offer via Living Social for the Kasbah Igoudar. Looking at Tripadvisor it was a no brainer. It lived up to its billing in every way. Even the weather was gorgeous although the gang that worked there all wore coats when we were in shorts. Don't go expecting to loose weight the portions are large but the food is superb. Simple breakfasts and no menu makes an interesting change. Not knowing what you will be eating for lunch or dinner is a strange thing to get used too. If you want the hustle and bustle of Marrakech then this probably isn't the place for you as it is a 45 minute taxi ride there. This is the perfect place for relaxing. Having said that we did a bit of travelling. We did the ballooning trip (up at 04:30) to see the sunrise over the High Atlas mountains. What a fantastic experience. Plus the trip up the Ourika Valley. The driver couldn't have been more helpful although communication was mostly sign language he was on time every time we needed him. Great guy. All the staff where very helpful nothing was too much trouble for them. Having Happy Birthday sung to you by three Moroccan waiters while a huge sparkler fizzes in the cake they have prepared for me was a great surprise and is something I won't forget for a long time. This is a wonderful place to stay you really ought to check it out.

“Relaxing in every way! Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

Ok the showers are not the best. They are even poor. And the location is a bit far out from Marrakech but we loved it. Better than we accpected. The rooms are very nice and the beds good. The common rooms with the open fire are really nice. The pool area is lovely (to cold to swim in the winter) and the food is fantastic!
The lady cooking the food is really good. We had full board and even though we they only had a set menu we loved almost every single dish. She is great value for the hotel.
The rest of the staff was impressive. They tryed so hard to make our holiday perfect and they made it. What about arranging baby sitter on new years eve!? Or just entertain our daughter so we could have a quite meal alone!?
We didnt attend any excursions but we heard other people who did and where very pleased.
The spa was not opened when we where there but we want to go back when it is.
This place is like a destionation itself. The view was wonderful and it was so peaceful. We loved the music the played in the pool area and we liked to local beer. And yes... the showers are bad.

Room Tip: All rooms are quiet and nice. We had the brown/beige room and where very pleased.

“Encounter with Nature!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

Kasbah Igoudar is the kind of place that takes you away from the craziness in Marrakesh. It is 30 minutes away, but the location is perfect if you want to be on the Atlas experiencing solitude and peace in a very relaxing and safe environment with pristine views of the sunset and pleasant mornings by the pool listening to the sounds of nature. The rooms are a good size with a nice décor and comfortable beds. The only electronics in the room is the TV.

The bathroom is a nice size but the hot water at times could be an inconvenience if you are in a rush or visiting in September when it’s cold in the mornings. It’s better to advise reception the night before so the staff has time to turn on the water heater. Please keep in mind that these are very small glitches compared to what you experience on a personal level at this place.

At the time we went, the spa wasn’t finished since this is a brand new place so we decided to take a spa day at Kasbah Tamadot. I will absolutely recommend doing this, instead of a tour on the Atlas, since the road is the same route.

Their food is organic, good and simple, prepared by the ladies that live in the village of Amizmiz. The Kasbah provides you with transportation if needed. We got Abdout, the best taxi driver. He took us to the bazaar and was the perfect guide to find exactly the stores we needed for the exact items we were looking for in just two hours.
We want to thank Jasine, Mounir, and Avdul for making the best of our stay and the ladies in the kitchen Khadija, Aarika and Abderazzak for their lovely meals!

One more tip -- you don’t need a guide to the Ouzod waterfalls just hire a car to take you.

Have fun Morocco, it’s a beautiful country and its people are even more beautiful!
