We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful property in Dakhla. First of all it was great value for money vs other resorts - the rooms were very spacious and clean. The decor and views were super, and service was excellent. The front desk has a WhatsApp chat and Mahfouz + Khalil (and Hussein the night guard) were always super helpful whenever we needed anything. The restaurant was excellent: you don't get one of these mass buffets but rather an a la carte full-board experience with delicious dishes and juices. Bravo chef! Important: we are kitesurfers. The school is very well equipped with a great team. They have Naish gear and the beach is just a short walk but the guys always drove us in their car and helped us setup our kites + launch (even though we did not rent and had our own gear). Samy + Omar + Sarah and Oussama you guys are the best, thank you! Some people can get put off by the fact that there is a road crossing, but it's honestly so minor. Like I said, you are driven there and back. You just need to be organized about when you want to go so the school can help you. The school has storage facilities and areas for kite gear - FYI.

The location on Booking.com is inaccurate, it's a much better location if you look at the hotel on Google Maps! I suspect this is costing the hotel and we asked them to change it to reflect this positive fact, so for those looking do check out the Google Maps location which is more accurate. It's a great location and right on the top of the lagoon for those who kite!

Habitas Caravan is perfectly positioned on the shore of the Dakhla Lagoon, making it easy to split your day into two kiting sessions—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—with just a quick crossing of the main road to reach the beach. We stayed in the ‘Desert Riad’ rooms, which were more than sufficient for our needs. Kite spot:From day one, Fatah and the entire crew went above and beyond to ensure we had everything needed to enjoy our kiting experience to the fullest and made us feel completely at home. Whether it was helping me properly mount the fins on my board, driving us close to the shore while carrying all our gear, their attention to detail was remarkable. We rented some of their equipment, brought some of our own, and also used their storage facilities. The school offers beginner courses and always prioritize safety. For instance, they chose to cancel our lessons on a day when the wind was too strong for our level. On our last day, they even helped us clean and dry our kites to prepare them for the journey home. Staff:From the reception team to the restaurant staff, the pool bar crew, the cleaning lady, everyone consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Their recommendations for activities outside the hotel (Le Ranch des Dunes is a must-see), truly made a difference. I especially want to mention Mahfoud and Zineb, who were extremely helpful even after we left. When one of our luggage pieces didn’t arrive home with us, we reached out to the hotel staff for assistance since we couldn’t get in touch with anyone at Dakhla Airport. Restaurant:Finally, the food definitely deserves a mention. We opted for the full board option, which included à la carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the quality and flavor of the meals were exceptional. The calm and soothing music in the restaurant area enhanced the serene atmosphere We’ll definitely return soon and will always cherish the wonderful memories of this holliday!

None, I hope to come back.

Upscale place with very professional staff. I enjoyed the free yoga class - and the teacher was great. I enjoyed the breakfast/lunch/dinner - the main differentiator to the other two places I stayed at is the 'a la carte' option, which was nice.

Room is a bit expensive for solo travelers, but still good value considering it is full board (and food is great). My room only had small windows and no view and little with regards to ventilation (but there are more other, more expensive rooms, with presumably a nicer view). Did not care too much about the 15 Euro (?) per day storage fee (and they apparently frown upon keeping your gear in your room).

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Caravan Hotel in Dakhla, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations! The food was a highlight, the flexibility with meal times (breakfast until 11am, lunch until 5pm) allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the leisurely pace of our vacation, savoring every moment without worrying about the clock. The complimentary morning yoga sessions were an absolute delight, providing the perfect start to our days. Not only were they rejuvenating for the body and mind, but they also helped us connect with the serene beauty of Dakhla in a deeply meaningful way. Thank you Laura! Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning the impeccable service provided by the staff. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction was evident in every interaction, making us feel truly valued as guests. As for the hotel itself, it exuded an air of luxury that enhanced our experience at every turn. From the elegant decor to the thoughtful amenities, every detail was carefully curated to create a sense of indulgence and relaxation. Overall, our stay at the Caravan Hotel was nothing short of magical. We left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and already planning our next visit. In fact, we're seriously considering staying at another location in the Caravan Hotel chain for our next holiday – that's how much we loved it! If you're looking for a truly exceptional experience in Dakhla, look no further than the Caravan by Habitas hotel. You won't be disappointed!

Nothing. Room for improvement: we thought there could be tea and coffee available throughout the day.

Everything was great from the guest services, food, and room and facilities. Mahfoud and Khalil at reception were great hosts along with Khalil and his team at F&B and Khalid and his crew at the Kite school. They all immediately made us feel like it was our home.

Nothing that I didn’t like, however, having windows in the room (We stayed in the Oasis room) that we could open would be beneficial to improve air circulation and improve cooling in case it gets too warm and stuff in the room. The fresh juices on the menu were not available during our stay.

The staff make the place! It feels like a home away from home. Bilal and the rest of the team were warm, friendly, helpful and funny. We had a very nice time because they made sure everything was perfect! Samy and his kite team are incredible and really pushed this above ⬆️ our expectations! When you break up your day between lessons, meals and pool time time just flies when you’re having a good time! The chef and his kitchen staff create magic! As a foodie the idea of full board hotel scares me — but do not worry. The food is a la carte and you can choose from a variety of incredible meals. The chef build an amazing menu with daily additions depending on what fish was caught! The fresh oysters and ceviche were unparalleled!! Lots of activities keep the days / evenings fun like family dinners, Pétanque tournament, movie night, card games really made it feel much more like a community than “a hotel stay”!

It was really a excellent experience stay over there, bueatiful location, the room is big, clean and super chic, well styled and charming, very nice and delicious food, the staff are super warm, friendly.

The music in the public area sometimes are too load, will be nice if keep clam in some moments. A bit too much flys in the restaurant. The management lever should be improved, English communication is a bit difficult over there, in the last day I leave, it was very early in the morning, I asked for a breakfast take away the day before, seems it’s prepared, but in the morning I leave, no one can find the take away breakfast.

A classy, yet understated, venue. Very helpful and friendly team, surprisingly good food, and a great kite school. Special mentions to Mahfouz and Khaled for their welcome, Nabeel for the bar, and Mohammed Zakharia for his elegant management. But particularly for Abdo Fatah for his superb teaching at the kite school.

No complaints.

Great menu and food. Beautiful design like all Habitas hotels/rooms and very warm welcome on arrival. On lagoon and you can overland to the surf beach.

Items missing from drinks and food menu. Pool was very cold (too cold to swim). Just an fyi - restaurant is predominantly French-speaking. Service is good but not as slick as 5-star Habitas offering. No surf rental on site.

- amazing management team - very kind, friendly and sweet staff that really want you to enjoy your time - great view on the lagoon - food is really delicious !!!! food was truly incredible - music and vibe very chill and easy loved it

- wifi connection can be improved however desert condition make it difficult
