Dakhla Kitesurf World

Having come to Dakhla to kitesurf among others, I soon found out that most of the hotels catering to this audience is located 20 km or so from the city center, close to where most of the kitesurfing is done. Many hotels include an all-inclusive deal (food and accomodation) which is quite neat given the remote location and since you are there to kitesurf and not for fine dining. Please however note that the hotel does not offer an opportunity to buy wine or beer like nearby hotels. That said, food is good. When there is no wind the hotel offers trips to various attractions nearby and, if you are a solo traveller like me, helps you group up with other people when going to these sights. Please note that these trips include little or no guidance as to what you see (in particular if you do not speak Arabic or French), so you have to read about these place beforehand by yourself. Also, please, if there is a delay or misunderstanding (such as having to wait one hour for your guide to pick you up!), you have to pay for the full tour anyhow. No mercy on that one! Lastly, on their webpage it is indicated that you can buy different packages (eg including sunset walk, oyster tasting…), however none of this will happen if you do not pay for it. So as such it is not really a package deal. Therefore, you might as well buy your stay through ********** og similar. If coming back to Dakhla again, I will find another hotel.

I had a wonderful kite trip at this place. Food is really good and the staff is very friendly & helpful.

From collection at the airport to return at the end of the stay this was a great trip. The team were lovely, helpful, spoke excellent English, welcoming. We took 2 trips with them which they tailored to our requirements, and which were very good value for money. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Just be aware that in order to be eco-friendly they turn off the generators at 3 points in the day which means a cold shower during those times and no phone charging. Wifi (which was actually one of the best i have had in Morocco!) does still work though ;-) All inclusive food was plentiful, if a little carb-heavy for my tastes, but perfectly good. Overall good value for money and a lovely stay, would come back for sure.
