Caravan Agafay by Our Habitas

A magical place in the midst of the Agafay Desert, our tent had a magnificent view, at night stargazing without need of any instrument. Amin and Mohammed made us feel as family. Our favorite moment of the day was breakfast, amazing food. Amin, thank you for being such a great host, will definitely come back!! Romi

We usually travel to destinations based in their hotels and after a few family days in a Riad in Marrakesh, we decided to visit Caravan Agafay, as the pictures online are breathtaking and we like remote and unique hotels. Said that, it is important to understand that you are going to a glamping hotel, we have stayed at other glamping hotels like Under Canvas, so if you are looking to a place with all the amenities of a 5 star hotel, this is not the place for you. We found the scenery beautiful, the tents were quite comfortable and yes, this is a glamping experience, the tents are not heated/cooled, so you have to research information about the weather in Agafay. We traveled in March and during the day was already quite hot, but at night is was cold. We didn't have a problem at night but if you travel in the middle of the winter, the tents most likely will be cold, if you travel in the middle of summer, cannot imagine how hot the tents can get. So, I would avoid during late spring/summer. There was hibiscus juice in the front lobby, however in all my stay never saw any cups to drink, not sure if it is just decoration. In general, I didn't find the staff very friendly, some exceptions. The manager didn't seem to have any patience and had a rude attitude. The same with the server at the restaurant, we were a large group and had no patience or friendliness, it could be cultural, but you would think that staff at a luxury hotel would have minimal customer service skills. We found prices high for what you get and recommend getting activities from near by places as they offer them overpriced. There are very few lounges or chairs around the pool, most days we had nowhere to sit. The camel ride was sad, short and not worth it. We rented ATV in an outside facility and we did love the experience.
