Riad Rihana Tamlalte

Ideally situated luxury across from the Monkey Fingers (the Tamlalt cliffs). We stayed for two nights. Our room was very comfortable, with an excellent bed and pillows. The view from our balcony couldn’t be beat. It was onto the Monkey Fingers and the nearby kasbah. Décor in the lobby and dining area was beautiful. We were even treated one night to a trio of musicians. The manager was very helpful and accommodating. One of us had traveller’s tummy, and he arranged to make food that was especially digestible. The manager also set us up with an excellent guide (Zakaria) for a 5-hour hike in and about the Monkey Fingers. We would definitely recommend this Riad to anyone staying in Boumaine Dades.

GOOD: The road leading to Riad Rihanna following the Dades Valley is absolutely stunning! Upon arrival we were offered a traditional mint tea by the friendly staff. The riad is beautiful, well maintained and well situated within walking distance to one of the greatest trails of the Dades gorge – Monkey Fingers. Our stroll by the river was like walking through the garden of Eden, the locals are really welcoming too. The rooftop pool is magnificent, if not a little cold at the time of year we went; but this did mean we had it to ourselves. The staff bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and saw that we had everything we needed. They exceeded our expectations by planning live music, arranged a special cake; even the kitchen staff sang for my wife’s 40th birthday! BAD: If you are hoping to eat traditional Moroccan food you will be disapointed - which was the case for us. However, our kids were happy with the bolognese. Other than this I would have given Riad Rihanna 10/10.

We stopped here as a layover between Marrakech and Merzouga, but we really should have stayed two nights instead of one. The area is amazing. Beautiful rock formations, great guided walks, and the riad itself is so friendly and comfortable. The room was great with a lovely balcony and view. The food was delicious; breakfast and dinner. The staff were formerly and helpful, and the Moroccan wine, very drinkable! Highly recommend Dades Gorge, and would not want to stay anywhere else but here!

Beautiful views, they are super friendly and welcoming, it was great to sleep before the excursion to the mountains they have amazingh food .the breakfast so nice also the Room IS confortable they have a nice vieux from the balkony Thank you for everthing Rihanna and i Hope to see you soon

Group of us stayed here on our way to Sahara. It was part of our 3 Day Tour. Very unique spot that’s almost like a movie set. Gorgeous view of the rocks. Killer sunset over the mountains It’s occupied almost exclusively by tourists heading to the desert. So the noise level maybe different by the guests. The food was decent. They had live music. They said as soon as the first guest goes to bed they stop. I thought that was really good. The only thing I wasn’t too keen on was door locks were weird. They use padlocks for when you leave (since there are no door handles) But when you are in the room someone can lock your door from out side ( for what it’s worth : this idea doesn’t even seem to enter into anyone’s mind but mine) Very helpful and super friendly staff. They certainly make you feel at home . Rooms were clean, warm (we visited in January) and there were no issues at all. Felt safe, welcomed and enjoyed our stay I would stay here again
