Olinto Atlas Mountain Retreat

Wonderful new property and staff. Only nine pavilions in total. Large beautifully landscaped property with two pools and great restaurant. Rooftop area allows for sunsets with a 360° view of the High Atlas mountains. The staff go out of their way to help. We found this out when my brother in law fell on our second hiking day. He sustained a painful pelvic fracture. He was safe to walk but it was painful. When we came back to the Olinto with him on the mule, the staff assisted us physically, onto the golf cart, and into his pavilion and bed. Then back to the car to take him to the private hospital in Marrakech. When we came back at one AM, three staff were ready to help us back to the room. Service above and beyond! Thanks Olinto!

My wife and I did our honeymoon in Morocco and had an amazing trip, one of the highlights of which was our stay at Olinto. 90 minutes away from Marrakech, the property is perfectly positioned as a retreat for a quick stay, or in our case a retreat towards the end of a long trip with lots of driving between Moroccan locations. We spent 3 nights at Olinto are and so glad we did - it's a peaceful Oasis in the High Atlas mountains. We're both in our late 30s and enjoy both adventure and for our honeymoon, a touch of luxury and relaxtion, and Olinto provided both. The front desk staff was super helpful, booking us awesome hiking trips with local guides (highly recommend the one to Ouirgane Valley), a horse riding experience for my wife, and also a cooking class on-site. Each residence is spacious and meticulously designed - we loved the small details of the room, and really loved the private rooftop. Beds were comfy, bathroom was huge, and there were nice touches throughout. A lot of care and love has been put into the overall design of the property, with indoor and outdoor dining options, a beautiful bar with a stunning terrace, and a clean/modern gym and spa facility nearby. The food was fresh and breakfast was delicious (loved the berber eggs). The staff were great at balancing great service without being too overbearing - we found everyone to be friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Olinto and look forward to going back there again in the future!!

This is a lovely property with extensive gardens and private, large accommodations. Our main disappointment was in dining. One night there was a group tour seated at one large table. As we were expecting an intimate setting, we found this unpleasant. But our biggest issue was the food. We had been in Morocco for 12 days and with one exception found the cuisine to be unvaried. The same was true at Olinto. Too many tagines. We resorted to ordering just appetizers to inject some variety. Visitors to a high end property such as this expect the dining to be on a par with the property.
