Hotel Warning: Kasbah Tizzarouine, Boulmane de Dades
In Boulmane de Dades we stayed in what at first glance seemed to be a marvellous hotel. Nevertheless, despite having a walled compound and guard, we found that during the night someone had carved a cross into the bonnet of our hired Land Cruiser. This came as somewhat of a surprise as we had not upset or provoked anyone. The management’s response was complete denial. The manager’s words were "That’s an old scratch!" despite the still flaky paint work. He even took out his key and scratched his own battered Toyota pickup to show the "difference" – of which there wasn’t really much of one. The local Gendarmerie were a total waste of space too and didn’t want to fill in any forms for the insurance company. The tracksuit wearing chief of police at the station just off the Merzouga road slapped me on the shoulder and left us with the parting comment, "It’s not like in your country here…….!" No it wasn’t, then again that’s why we were there in the first place. Fortunately another officer who was visibly embarrassed by his conduct apologised on his behalf.
Sadly we also both contracted food poisoning in the Kasbah Tizzarouine and, to make matters worse, one of the employees named M******d took a rather unhealthy interest in us – if you catch my drift.
So what promised to be a very nice hotel stay turned into total disaster. Avoid this hotel at all costs.
