Hotel Review

Sunshine luxury desert camp is a polished desert stay in Merzouga, and the strongest impression is how much it leans into a full camp experience without losing comfort. Guests describe memorable sunset camel rides, evenings by the fire, and a setting that feels built for watching the desert settle down at night.

Accommodation is offered in tents and a Deluxe Double Room with Bath, which gives the property useful range for different travelers. Reviews consistently point to a smooth, well-organized stay, with solo travelers and couples both leaving top marks. The tented setup suits experience seekers who want atmosphere, while the bathroom-equipped room should appeal to guests who prefer a little more privacy and convenience.

Dining is a clear part of the appeal. Breakfast is included, and the hotel serves Moroccan cuisine with halal options for lunch and dinner in a traditional, romantic setting. The menu is supported by details such as fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese, and fruit at breakfast, plus live music and a bar in the evenings.

Facilities are practical as well as atmospheric: free WiFi, private check-in and check-out, a shared kitchen, outdoor fireplace, seating areas, picnic spots, a play area, family rooms, child-friendly buffet, and free on-site parking. The property also supports active stays with skiing, cycling, and ski equipment hire, which is unusual and memorable for a Merzouga hotel.

Sunshine luxury desert camp is best for couples, families, and travelers who want a desert stay with strong guest feedback and a highly rated setting. The location in Takojt, Merzouga, and the 9.9/10 score make it an easy pick for guests prioritizing experience, hospitality, and atmosphere over a standard hotel format.
