Travellers’ Choice Awards
Best of the Best Hotels

Top - Africa

When you think of a hotel that checks all the boxes (outstanding service, comfy rooms, the works) it’s probably one of these winning spots.

The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.


Sol Oasis Marrakech - All Inclusive is a fab spot to unwind and soak in Moroccan charm. Lounge all day at the resort's huge main pool or heated outdoor pool, while the splash park offers a fun kid zone. Take advantage of the well-equipped sports facilities, yoga room, and tennis court, or simply relax at the spa and steam room. Dine on a variety of local and international dishes at the on-site restaurant or sip a cocktail at the Café Maure. The resort's beautifully kept grounds and reddish sunsets complete the serene atmosphere.

    My Wife and I have just returned from Sol Oasis, We had a fantastic stay. All staff are wonderful and a credit to the hotel. Food was wonderful. So much choice. Only niggle was some of the food was warm and not hot. Although there is a microwave if you want to heat it up a little. We are a quiet couple and shy away from joining in with the entertainment programme ,we were never got at to join in and were left alone to enjoy the entertainment which was great. The room was small but adequate, a shout out to our cleaner who was lovely and kept our room clean and tidy everyday.One thing I would say about the room is there is limited storage space as you have to take warmer clothing as well as your normal holiday clothes. but the storage could easily be rectified if a hanging rail was put up above the suitcase storage recess.( Room 2315.) We Tipped as many of the staff as we could but all the staff deserve reward. We Hope to return to Sol Oasis next year . We highly reccomend The Sol.

    Just returned from our 3rd visit to Sol Oasis and can’t wait for our next one! Everything about this place is fantastic, from accommodation, food, staff and amenities. There is such a laid back vibe during the day, perfect for that relax in the sun. Was a pleasure to see Sam and Mike again, they are a great part of the entertainment team who work so hard! Will be booking our return very soon 😊

    Amazing stay. We are here at the minute and have enjoyed every minute and will definitely return. The rooms are clean and functional but could do with more hanging space but we’ve managed. The food is very good and varied, you’ll definitely not go hungry. The entertainment team are on another level. We’ve never stayed anywhere where the staff feel more like friends than staff. A special shout out to Oussama who was amazing, Zak, Sam, Noula, Fati, Mike, Chico and all the staff, sorry if I forgot anyone as you’re all amazing. The lifeguards were the best, thanks to Khalid and Ahmed who kept the pool area tidy and clean, provided towels and always made everyone feel welcome. The entertainment is great, including yoga, Zumba, pottery, archery, dance (Zak, lots of laughs) darts etc, all good fun. The evening dance shows were brilliant and “Michael Jackson” was amazing. The waiters are also lovely, the lovely Soufiane always welcomed us and looked after us every day and evening. The mixologists are fab and provide lovely cocktails and drinks. All the staff are a credit to the hotel and we would definitely return. The entertainment team do an amazing job with extremely long hours and work so hard. You are all a credit to the hotel.
