We have just returned from an 11 day holiday in Morocco with our 2 children aged 8 & 6, and our stay here was one of the highlights. Rashid (the owner) made us all so welcome and his extended friends and family made sure our stay was exceptionally warm, welcoming and interesting.

The Hotel is simple and clean, with hot running water and lots of space to relax (and play football!) the food good and suitable for children and adults. the things that made our stay really memorable was the hospitality - Rashid showed us round his family home and was happy to talk and help us, as we wanted.

We took the children on a donkey ride around the village (at a small charge)- which sounds quite a touristy thing to do, but the fun was in picking dates and pomegranites from the trees to eat and crossing the river on the donkeys (not the type you get in Weston Super Mare!!), the children loved it and we saw alot of the oasis.

The girls were also invited into the kitchen to see how the couscous was made and also to make bread with Rashid's sisters. Experiences like this added so much depth to the visit as well as being fun.

The ultimate host - Rashid changed our punctured tyre for us in the neighbouring town..what more could you ask!

If you want to experience the feel and hospitality of Morocco I really would recommend a couple of days stay here.

Wonderful small family run inn – very peaceful (no TV’s or phone signal) and a welcome glass of mint tea on arrival, the meals are good. The family will get their instruments out after dinner and play local music – which was excellent. To get to the inn we had to cross two rivers, now we know why a 4 wheel drive was needed. In the morning we walked along the river to see women doing their laundry in the river, and people on donkeys.

I spent two nights in the auberge with my wife and our 10 months old son. We chose La Terrasse des Delices because of the very positive feedback we read on Tripadvisor.

How to get there by car
We rented a car in Marrakech and drove to Ouarzazate ourselves. In Marrakech we were told that Oasis de Fint, where the auberge is actually located, is a bit hard to find. Confirmed! Arriving at Ouarzazate you reach a roundabout just before entering the city, in front of the entrance of the film studios. Leave the roundabout at the first exit. The road gets smaller and seems to turn into a dirt road, but after a while it widens into a seemingly newly asphalted road. After 8.6 km there's a small asphalt road on your right and a very small, white roadsign indicating 'Oasis de Fint'. Take the road, which leads through a newly built urban development. At the first T-junction you either turn left or right, since the road has an ellipse-form, and follow the road, leaving Ouarzazate behind you. After roughly 1km you reach a crossroad at 'the end' of the ellipse. Take this road until you reach a roundabout at the end. Leave the roundabout at the first exit. This is a dirt road roughly in line with the asphalt road. Follow the dirt road for 5.3 km and keep left at the crossroad. A roadsign indicates you're heading for Auberge La Terrasse des Delices.
Finally you reach a village, where you first have to cross the river by bridge and later on you just ride through it to get to the other side... Luckily the water level was low, so we managed to reach the other side in our Renault Megane, but if water levels are higher you have to cross the river by donkeys.

Service and hospitality
The staff is very hospitable and our little boy was spoiled with attention. A baby cot was arranged free of cost, and when needed they warmed up his milk or prepared a baby meal for our son. Great!

Comfort and atmosphere
The auberge is cozy, but basic. Rooms are quite small with simple beds and an outdated bathroom, but there was hot water (boiler) and an airconditioning!
Food was good en plenty, but again: basic.

Like many places in Morocco, some children and adults were also here begging for sweets, soap, pencils or money. And don't be surprised if they try to change Euro coins for dirhams. Maybe they were real, I didn't do it.

Overall the auberge is very relaxing, with a splendid view over the valley and the mountains. The area is good for walking, but apart from that there's not much to do.
Food and rooms are basic and with 50 euros per night (2 persons) well payed for, but the staff is very nice.

This was a wonderful place and we highly recomand it to peoply who want to see something special. Wonderful people and a beautiful outstanding place on earth. Rachid was really nice, friendly and helpful. The family made us tasty local food and a typical berber breakfast. My children was traveling up river with a donkey and they was swimming in the river together with turtles. The woman was washing the clothes in the river like they did in old times. It was a fantastic experience. We will come back soon!!!

We will not go back in july, it was far to hot for us (45-47 degrees).
