Pro: nice facility, you can get grapes and pomegranates off of the tries, facility has lots of potentials.
Con: expensive ($230 / night), when we got to the breakfast buffet next morning the food was gone, the staff in the dining room blamed a large tourist group that came late night before for eating everything, they did not offer us any replacement, we ended up eating olives and some pieces of cheese , very poor experience considering the $230 per night price
The hotel room was not clean. So much dust and the food at the buffet was cold with limited choices. There is no heat/ flame beneath the food. The coffee was cold. The pool was dirty. We had to stay one night while driving from Tangier to Fes and wanted to see Chefchaouen.
Refrigerator not working. Air conditioner had issues.
No curtain for shower
Phone in room not working. We had to personally walk and go to the office to communicate.
Every day same menu with lot of left overs.
We were given the bungalow, which had no lights outside and was remote and dark
Beautiful quiet property, good service and the pool area is amazing.
What would take Dar Ba Sidi to the next level would be better upkeep of the grounds (mowing/weeding), and touch ups on some of the typical expectations of excellent accommodations such as working internal telephones (so you dont need to go to reception when you need anything), water bottles every day of your stay (not just on the first day), etc.
We did enjoy our stay though :)
Uitzonderlijk vriendelijk personeel, mooi uitzicht op Chefchaouen, rustig, mooie kamer met goed bed. We hebben er ook lekker gegeten. Kortom een aanrader om van hieruit Chefchaouen te bezoeken. De uitbaatster regelt een taxi voor 75 Mad.
Minder positief: de tuin mag opgefrist worden en de muziekinstallatie in jet restaurant is aan vernieuwing toe.
I cannot comment on the property since I actually did not stay at it but I will comment on how the reservation was handled. I made an honest mistake and neglected to changed the default dates. I had several pages open while planning our trip to Morocco in 2020 and missed changing the dates to our actual dates when I submitted our booking (at 6:14pm EST - which is 11:15pm in Morocco) for the Chefhaouen region at the Dar Ba Sidi Spa. I contacted Expedia immediately. The next day I received a request from Expedia suggesting I resubmit a new reservation for the hotels consideration in the claim. So I did. Now both payments were committed. This puts me in a being held ransom position and now at the mercy of two commitments for the same hotel and no ability to change our plans should such happen. I sent a message to the hotel and they advised "we confirm we did not charge the credit card for the reservation yesterday and we confirm that the refilling will be the day of your arrival". I waited a couple days and the charges were processed for both dates on my credit card. Given how this has been handled I will absorb the loss of the first mistake I made but rest assured, I cannot recommend this resort. Fortunately I had a cancellation option for the second submission I sent. As a result of how this all handled I cannot recommend this resort.
Nothing was unique. Its not 5 star property as mentioned on the website. If you remove 5 star feom there and put 2 star rating. Then its fine with what they offer.
