A little funky at first viewing but the follow-through was wonderful, comfortable clean beautiful rooms, pool/hot tub/firepit and outdoor bar, completely charming hosts who did everything for us, best breakfast spread we've ever had, even the other guests are worth commenting on, congenial, and quiet! Our experience here was far superior to stays at more expensive hotels.

Every once in a while in your travels, you hit the Home Run. My wife and I did just this by staying at the El Morocco Inn for 4 nights as part of our trip to the Palm Springs area to celebrate our anniversary. The Inn is an enchanting, romantic place that is truly an oasis. Bruce and Steve, who are brothers, and John own the place, and are very hospitable and generous. They have created quite a place. It is EASY to relax here. When Bruce and Steve found out it was our anniversary, they acknowledged it with a nice surprise. They enjoyed engaging us and other guests in conversation and storytelling. Everything about the inn is great. To mention a few: the expansive continental breakfast; the exotic flavor and comfort of our room; the library, which has a fireplace and a large screen TV where the movies "Casablanca" and the "Road To Morocco" play 24 hours a day; the hot springs-fed pool and large spa; and the daily Happy Hour where Morocco-tinis are served. Also, my wife and I each took in a massage at the Inn that was terrific! El Morocco has a couple of spa treatment rooms on the premises, and are in the process of expanding the spa capability with a "Spa Garden". This place is the most unique place that we have ever stayed. If you like the thrill of hitting a Home Run, the El Morocco Inn is it. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I spent our 2 year wedding anniversary here and it was perfect. The owners poured their hearts and souls into this retreat and it shows! They make you feel welcome the minute that you walk in and give you a friendly, personal tour of their beautiful grounds. Almost everything here is authentic and imported from Morocco, so be prepared to leave California for a few days when you enter this resort.
The owners host an intimate happy hour with free Martini's. They also are more than happy to give you a heads up on the local fare and their locations. Breakfast was a wonderful "more than continental" meal, and they set up everything that you could possible need (bagels, pastries, granola, tea, Starbuck's Coffee to Moroccan figs, pistachios and fresh fruit) and everything was yummy!
We stayed in the Sultan's Playpen and loved every minute of it. The bathroom was beautifully done and the sitting area was cozy and comfortable, but the best part was our round, yes round, King size bed draped with sheer fabrics so that you feel encased in this little Moroccan haven.
This little retreat is perfect for anyone's getaway (minus the children... it's 21 and over here... but we think that's one of the best parts!) whether it be a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, or just an escspe.... and don't forget to get one of their spa treatments.... we had 2 massages each during our stay and they were fantastic!!! My husband and I will definitly be coming back!

They have not missed a single detail in making this a totally relaxing place to detach from everyday life. But I also found the authentic decor and cultural touches very stimulating. Our hosts created an atmosphere that was calming yet fun! I can't wait to go back......
