Atlas Prestige

It was for me a wonderful stay for 2 days at Atlas prestige I’ll come back again

Riad Atlas Prestige offers stunning and breathtaking views of the mountains. I had a wonderful and peaceful stay with my wife at this guesthouse in Imlil. The bedroom was clean with colourful Moroccan rugs and bed covers. The bed was firm but comfortable and there was air conditioning, which provided heating at night when it gets a little chilly. The bathroom was adequate with an open shower. The drive from Menara airport to Riad Atlas was about 90 minutes. The walk from the guesthouse to the nearest village is about 15 minutes down a rocky path. I enjoyed the walking but some may find it exhausting especially returning uphill.

We stayed at the Atlas-Prestige for 3 nights celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. Our party was made up of our 30 year old son, 28 year old daughter and my husband and me. The Riad arranged transport from the airport to Imlil at a very competitive cost of Euro50 for a 90 Km trip. This went smoothly as we were met by the driver with a sign with our name on. On arrival we were taken to the Riad’s terrace, with its spectacular views of the mountains, and served with L mint tea and Moroccan biscuits. Our rooms were decorated with Moroccan rugs and had tea and coffee making facilities. There was also an air conditioner that worked by cooling or heating the room. This was necessary as it was cold up in the mountains so was a very welcome feature. The bathroom had a restroom type shower and shampoo and shower gel was provided. The beds were firm and comfortable. We opted for the breakfast and dinner option and we were very well fed. Homemade soups, delicious rustic Moroccan Tagines, olives on the table, hot flatbreads and local fruit. Breakfasts were omelettes or boiled eggs, pancakes, hot bread and a selection of local preserves (almond nut butter, honey, apricot jam etc) , yoghurts, cereal and the most delicious homemade orange juice. There was also coffee, hot chocolate, mint tea and other teas on tap. Our daughter does not eat meat and the staff were happy to make her vegetarian dishes. Alcohol is not available but you are welcome to bring your own. We tended to have our G&Ts in our room before supper while playing cards and the staff were happy to chill out tonic in their fridge. The staff were very helpful in showing you various walks and arranging guides to take you on specific walks. They even arranged mules for my husband and me as we were not as fit as our children. All prices were very reasonable. It was a magical few days for us spent in the most spectacular scenery. I wish all the staff at the Riad much success for their future. They work very hard at making your time spent with them special for you.
