  Detailed review-worth the read before booking.

  Overview We are a couple in our 20s who stayed at Valeria Dar Atlas for 10 nights in late march 2026. With the hotel being given 4 stars-we were disappointed on the whole and would like to provide a fair, detailed review for people considering a holiday here. Accommodation The accommodation is split in to groups of rooms in Rhiad buildings. Originally we were placed in a ground floor room, but asked to change due to the lack of privacy, and the lack of a balcony with being on the ground floor. The accommodation was fairly clean but dated, the lights in the room were very weak (once it was dark we had to use phone torches to pick our clothes at times.) Unfortunately, our room was shared with a colony of ants-who ended up (amongst other places) in my girlfriend’s makeup brushes, and my toothbrush. Bizarrely, the doors also didn’t fit the frames-meaning to shut them you had to put your full weight into it-and my girlfriend genuinely struggled-this was with both the toilet door & hotel room door (which the maid came in unannounced 3 times at 0930…). Food The food itself was fairly good, but lacked the variety you’d expect from a 4* all inclusive. My girlfriend & I are very open to trying new things, but if you happen to have a picky relative-this is NOT the place for them. Unfortunately on one evening I put some fish on my plate that was so undercooked it was raw in the middle, but I understand that accidents can happen. The main issue with the food aspect of the holiday was how busy the dining area was and the lack of organisation-the cleaning of tables was very slow, including it being difficult to find clean plates & it was rare that we could find a table that was empty & clear if you went down at any point after the doors for food opened. (even in March!). Poolside/Day time The pool was great & we enjoyed lounging around it for 7/10 days of our holiday, the outdoor bar staff were tentative & very friendly, as were the entertainment or ‘animation’ team (although they were quite pushy at times). There were just enough sun loungers if you were out early & the gardeners worked extremely hard to keep the place looking tidy! Gym If you’re hoping to use a gym, this hotel isn’t for you. The ‘gym’ consists of 2 (broken) treadmills, an elliptical machine & 2 static bikes. There are no weights, racks or even pull up bars here-which for many isn’t an issue, but was disappointing for us who enjoy the gym on holiday. Entertainment We’re not in the best place to comment about the entertainment on site, as we only stayed for 2 nights of it. The animation team seem to host all of the entertainment, and whilst they put a lot of effort into it, and I don’t want to tarnish them in any way, it is basic, and different to other hotels we’ve been to in the past where it has been a magician/singer etc each night. Value for money We payed around £1500 for the package holiday for 2 people (including flights and transfer) and wouldn’t recommend the 10 nights for this money, knowing what’s available for similar. The hotel itself is dated & it’s one of the lesser holidays we’ve been on. Conclusion Whilst the staff were mostly very friendly & obviously work very hard-there are flaws in this hotel that would mean we wouldn’t return & regrettably, we wouldn’t recommend to anyone else either, without knowing exactly what you’re getting.

  Amazing food and staff here.

  This resort, whilst not the most modern in some aspects, has the most amazing staff who go the extra mile all the time. The entertainment staff are friendly and so welcoming. The food is superb and the variety of dishes is good. The mini dessert cakes are fabulous and the Moroccan cuisine is so good. Fresh fruit, salads, Berber mint tea are also great. Things that could be improved is a small tray with some mini toiletries and a kettle in each room. However this does not detract from the fabulous holiday that I had there.

  The best pizza chef! It's the most delicious ever, and this is my first time having pizza this good. The taste is amazing! Or maybe it's Valerie Dar Atlas. This chef is wonderful!

  A tranquil haven with amazing staff. Don't believe the moaners!

  We stayed here for a girls' weekend and had a brilliant time. I honestly don't understand some of the negative reviews; the hotel is advertised accurately, and for the price, it’s excellent value. Some people seem to expect "the moon on a stick," but if you travel with realistic expectations, you’ll love it. The Staff & Culture A little research goes a long way. You are in Morocco, so learning a few basic words of Arabic or French is highly appreciated. I found the comments about staff being "unfriendly" or "lacking English" totally unfair. They work incredibly hard and weren't rude in the slightest. A massive shout-out to the Animation Team. They were all amazing, (including Sam & MoMo) full of banter, and worked so hard to keep everyone entertained. Activities were fun and clearly advertised in reception. Food & Drink The food was exactly what you’d expect from a good all-inclusive: tasty, plentiful, and plenty of variety. The drinks were readily available, and even in the evening, we only waited a few minutes at the bar. That was absolutely no hardship! Surprisingly, the wine was actually very nice, which isn't always the case at all-inclusives. Facilities & Room The Spa: We had a Hammam, and the service was excellent and very reasonably priced. The Room: Clean, spacious, and adequate for what we needed. The bed was comfy, the balcony was a nice touch, and it was cleaned daily. The Grounds: The hotel is a bit outside the city, but that’s a plus! It’s a tranquil haven away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. The grounds are lovely and well-maintained. The Pool: Lovely and clean. We had no issues getting sunbeds, though it was slightly out of peak season. Getting Around Taxis are available right outside, or you can ask at reception. They also provide a shuttle bus into the city, so being "out of town" is not an issue at all. Overall, it’s a welcoming, clean, and happy space. I’d go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Moroccan getaway.

  Absolutely Disgraceful Hotel - Avoid Do Not Book

  DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL We booked this hotel as we needed 12 rooms, and they had rooms available. Hotel is advertised as a 4 star and this needs to be a 2 star and remove the all-inclusive as they don’t provide an all-inclusive food service. Hotel is very dirty and ant infestation. Hotel swimming towels require a £10 deposit per towels, it goes missing after you leave it on your seat whilst swimming and its your duty to make sure you return it or you don’t get a refund. The Hotel staff are racist towards people with non-white skin. They don’t like people from South Asian background. The staff are very rude and aggressive towards guest. We had many incidents of staff refusing to give us water and if a white skin person asks for water they will be given water. If you don’t want us then don’t take our money and make it clear that we are not welcome. Room Basic room and not clean. We had the room for 10 days and used the same towels and bedsheets. We had a problem with the Ants on the 1st day and the hotel changed our room. Bathroom door had no lock and no Muslim bottom wash considering it’s a Muslim country this should have been necessity. No Lock on door is fine for couples but if you have a family this is a problem with the children / teenagers . Shower facilities was unclean, and sinks was always blocked. During our 10 days stay we did not have our bedsheets changed or new towels. It was disappointing. When we reported this to the hotel manager, and they said that was a problem with the supplier not being able to deliver. Staff Nothing positive to say as they don’t make you feel welcome. Staff wants tips for everything. Food Food is poor quality and runs out very quickly. For Breakfast they have only 1 person on the egg stand for all the hotel guests, you have to wait a long time if you want eggs. Also, on the waffle / pancake stand you have one person and lots of parents upset because they have to wait a long time. Swimming Pool Swimming Pool are overcrowded and they should have a larger pool of the size of the hotel. Relax Pool was good for adults Indoor pool you must pay extra per visit so if you exit indoor pool you have to pay again to re-enter which is a con. I didn’t mind paying for indoor pool if the £5 was for all day pass. Recommendations I do not recommend this hotel as this hotel is not fit for purpose. It’s a waste of money and you will be displeased.
