Nice quiet location in the middle of the mountains. Food super good both for breakfast and dinner.

Simple but delicious breakfast in absolutely stunning setting, sunny terrace overlooking spectacular scenery. Also great for dinner with a menu featuring authentic Moroccan fare. Our room was more like a suite with a separate lounge area, roof terrace and outdoor seating as well as comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Everywhere was spotless and fresh, literally fragrant with orange blossom from the garden outside. Exceptionally good value and our favourite stop this trip.

Caiat Lounge Refuge is a hidden gem in the mountains, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. One of its most remarkable features is its location, which is blissfully free from light pollution. This makes it a perfect destination for stargazers and photography enthusiasts who want to capture the Milky Way in all its glory. The refuge itself is a cozy, welcoming space where you can unwind after a day of exploration. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the surrounding natural beauty providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. At night, the clear skies offer a stunning view of the stars, and the absence of artificial light allows the Milky Way to shine brightly overhead. It's an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves the night sky.

Nicely lost in the middle of the mountains, great view and surrounded by nature. Even if we were the only customers, we could still order food on our arrival. Really nice room with a living room included and all the outdoor areas. Was a bit quiet on a weekday in April, but at a better time and with more customers, the place must have a great lively feeling.

The Caiat Refuge is the perfect place to explore nature and hike in the nearby nature park. Waking up to the mountain silhouette never ceases to amaze. Daniel is a fantastic host and introduces you to the reservoir. I thoroughly enjoyed hiking with Fdel and Mohammed, the tours with them are a must! Breakfast and diner is also great. A perfect place for nature lovers, can only recommend.

Everything was just perfect

If you're searching for a spot to unwind and relax, Caiat Lounge Refuge is definitely worth the visit. The ambience is so peaceful and welcoming, with a beautiful landscape view and plenty of seating options to choose from. What's more, the staff - especially Brahim - are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The owner, Daniel, was very nice and provided us with useful information about the options for trekking around. Now, let's talk about the food. Trust me when I say that you won't want to skip out on ordering from the restaurant within the lounge. The menu has a wide variety of food options, all of which are super tasty, affordable, and well prepared. I can't recommend the food enough; it's really good. Overall, Caiat Lounge Refuge is an excellent choice for anyone looking to escape the hustle of everyday life and the noise of the city and indulge in some fantastic food in a very calming and beautiful atmosphere, breath fresh air and enjoy the nature and the walking in the nearby mountains.

Nothing, it was perfect

Our room had a large sitting area with fabulous views over the mountains. The bed was comfy and the hammock on our balcony was a lovely touch. The food at supper and breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and helpful

I had tried to book direct, and told that they had no rooms. I found a room on Booking.com I booked it and got confirmation that my booking was confirmed. Please note Le Caiat is 6-7km from the start of the walk for waterfalls. I didn't think they made that clear and I had to get a taxi instead of being able to walk from Le Caiat. When I arrived, I was struggling with my case up the stairs to it, when a member of staff just walked right by me. I was ignored at reception (it's in the middle of nowhere and it was clear I was arriving to stay) and as I'd arrived 30 mins before check in, I took a seat but no-one approached me. Eventually I went to them and they indicated that they didn't have my booking, with no sense of apology or reassurance. I just waited and after a while I was beckoned and they'd found a room. There was no information in the room about the restaurant for dinner (again it's the middle of nowhere) or breakfast (which was included) or any helpful information written or spoken. I speak English, French and Spanish and I just had to keep asking questions non-stop, it was hard work! There isn't meaningful wifi in the rooms (and some have none at all), all the facilities advertised next to the rooms, where not necessarily the room, but the property (views etc..). I had a bath in my room but no plug and when I finally managed to get one from reception is was pointless, the shower feeds the bath and the bath is huge so it would be impossible to fill whilst still being hot. I was on my own, and I just felt zero care and hospitality from the staff. It's a shame because it's a beautiful place and the organisation, communication and staff really let it down.

The stunning view, the room, the mountain breeze and decor. The breakfast was good and the outdoor terrace to the restaurant lovely.
