The hotel is a bit "isolated", which is not a bad thing itself. However found some issues : room not very clean, staff not trained (very "family style"), food ok but limited, pool and beach dirty, spa not open, etc... Dakhla is a very small town, with not much to do apart fishing and water sport activities (kite surfing and... More

We stayed at Calipau in August 2012 for 3 nights. The good: the building is very nice, with large rooms, comfortable beds and great bathrooms. The beach is small but great for swimming. The view could be great if it were not for the military base that occupies the cliff. The bad: the beach and rocks at the hotel were... More

Having stayed at this idyllic location before, I could not wait to take friends back there. The first impression (from the road) is always "we're not staying there, are we?" as the approach is as if to a shed. Thats because the hotel is built down the side of rocks onto the beach. Once inside, the location overlooking the lagoon... More

Very charming and friendly atmosphere in this easygoing and relaxing hotel. I was impressed by the kindness and availability of the whole staff in trying to fulfill each wish, what reflects perfectly the kind character of monsieur Bernard, the owner, a very pleasant Frenchman who claims in his modesty to speak only a few words in English, but is able...

Spent 4 nights here in mid-January. French is the language of choice here, but one of the staff spoke English. Balmy but not warm weather there so couldn't use the pool or the lagoon. Beautiful room number 214 with balcony and view of sea. Room was spacious and romantic with a large and comfy bed and tasteful Moroccan furnishing. Good... More
