What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Guests consistently praise El Morocco Inn & Day Spa for its tranquil, adults-only atmosphere and unique Moroccan charm. The 24-hour mineral hot springs pools and attentive staff are major highlights, creating a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. Some visitors note it's not ideal for those seeking a lively party scene, but perfect for quiet rejuvenation.
"This is a small motel with a central courtyard built on a mineral hot spring. The rooms are charmingly decorated. Sheets and bed and pillows are very comfortable. The amenities include robes, WiFi, TV with streaming services, 24 hr pools, pool towel service, several small saunas with red light, a covered outdoor kitchen area, breakfast, make-your-own French pot coffee anytime, in-room microwave and mini-fridge, AC, a lounge room playing the movie Casablanca on loop, dozens of DVD movies to borrow for viewing in your room, and a several areas out back with chairs and lounges. It’s quiet and relaxing. Probably not the best place for kids - it’s mostly quiet folks seeking relaxation. There is one 93 degree outdoor pool and a 103 degree covered hot pool area. Plenty of poolside sitting areas, with two fireplaces. The grounds are very clean. The staff are all outstanding - friendly, helpful, eager to please. The owner Justin is often onsite working and doing maintenance tasks among other things. He’s full of helpful information about the area. Massage services can be reserved in advance, provided by local area massage therapists. If you want a modern place, a party place, or to make loud poolside phone calls, this isn’t it. Low key and relaxing."

"My wife and I booked this place somewhat random. I wanted to be near Joshua tree. We were impressed and surprised when we got here. Beautiful sitting areas, outdoor fireplace, huge hot tub with several saunas. Warm swimming pool and excellent service all with a middle eastern flavor with a Casablanca playing on a large screen TV in a beautiful sitting area
The breakfast is simple but tasty withplenty of coffee. Overall, this was a very pleasant place to stay and close to Joshua tree which was just what we wanted."
Ron Sloan
"Beautiful and unique resort, highly recommend. Tranquil, peaceful, lovely. Warm pool and hot pool available 24 hours. Casablanca quietly on loop 24 hours in a cozy side room. Adults only haven. Decor is charming and transportive."
