The property was isolated so only eating options were on-site. Restaurant staff were lovely. The venue charged in euro, converted to local currency which used multiple exchange rates which to me, seemed to only favour the property. Didn't like that aspect

Our Best Stay in Morocco - a True Oasis.
We absolutely loved our stay at Sawadi. It is a ways outside Skoura, 10 minutes or more on a small back road, which puts it in a remote but very lovely, very quiet area surrounded by olive groves and fields, with a view of the distant snow covered mountains (for our April stay). The rooms are nicely sized, with great bathrooms and ours had a spacious roof terrace as well (I think most do). The architecture and decor are incredibly well done and interesting, not only in the bedrooms but also in the dining room and other common rooms - at once elegant and relaxed and comfortable and full of charm. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The pool was closed during our April visit but looks very nice and well maintained. Every one of the small staff was friendly, helpful and competent. A big unexpected plus was the food. The included breakfast has many options and everything we tasted was home made and delicious. Dinner is not included, but the price is reasonable and is NOT to be missed. It was easily the best meal we had during our entire time in Morocco. The owners of this place have tried hard to make it a special haven, and for us, they completely succeeded. They are friendly, quickly stepped in to help us with travel issues we had, and couldn't have been nicer. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to any traveler. After a staying in Marrakech for a week, this hotel was a welcome oasis of quietude, beauty and friendliness.

It was only one night we spent there on our trip to Merzouga, but it was very nice place, with very tasty food and wonderful, beautiful desert houses built in a traditional way. The sleep was great in the quiet environment, after a swim in a nice swimming pool. It really came nice after a day of driving and walking. The hosts were very professional and pleasant.

Un havre de paix au coeur de la palmeraie
Au cœur de la palmeraie se trouve un petit paradis. L'hébergement est de qualité, les produits de soin sont fait maison, tout comme le contenu des assiettes. La gentillesse des propriétaires et des employés n'est que la cerise sur le gâteaux. A recommander sans hésitation.

Nous avons vraiment adoré notre passage au Sawadi. Au milieu de la palmeraie, on se sent loin de la maison. Le personnel est extraordinaire, vraiment sympathique et super avenant. Un endroit idéal pour se reposer. Très bon repas, magnifique piscine. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.

Nous avons passé 2 nuits vraiment extraordinaires à Sawadi. C'est un endroit magnifique et serein dans la palmeraie de Skoura. Les chambres sont décorées et aménagées avec beaucoup de goût. Les repas préparés avec les produits de la ferme du domaine sont délicieux. Outre la piscine et la terrasse qui constituent d'agréables lieux de détente, le Sawadi propose de nombreuses activités de loisir, de relaxation et des excursions. Les propriétaires et personnel sont accueillants et attentionnés. Une adresse précieuse.

Eine Oase der Ruhe und des guten Lebens
Dieses Hotel liegt wunderschön in der Oase von Skoura. Es bietet Fahrräder an, mit denen die Gäste die Oase erkunden können. Das ist sehr empfehlenswert! Die französischen und marokkanischen Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und helfen gerne bei der Planung von Ausflügen. Das Hotel baut selbst Lebensmittel an. Das Hotel wird ökologisch und organisch geführt. Das Essen ist gesund und lecker. Es ist wunderschön, morgens und abends auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und zu essen. Zur Abkühlung an heißen Tagen steht der Pool zur Verfügung. Auf der erhöhten Sonnenterrasse kann man bis in die Dunkelheit liegen und die Sterne beobachten. Außerdem sieht man tagsüber das Atlasgebirge in der Ferne. Das Hotel ist also selbst eine Oase der Ruhe und des guten, gesunden Lebens. In der Nähe gibt es viel zu sehen. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

Fantastisk øko-hotel i ørkenen
Det ligger for enden af 7km grusveje forbi små husklynger og palmeplantager. Men det byder på fantastiske udsigter til Atlas bjergene, værelser i små borge anlagt i blomster-, grønsags- og duftende frugthaver med børnevenligt dyrehold 100 meter nede for enden af marken. Maden de serverer er med egne råvarer uden sprøjtemidler. Det serveres i smuk spisesal eller ude på terassen der ligger ved siden af pool og beduinertelt. De frnske værter har været igang på stedet i 10 år og har skabt et smukt sted på jorden. De er tilknyttet den franske økologibevægelse Colibri.
