    The bathroom had no door and was separated by a curtain, which was inconvenient. And the water didn't come out properly and water came out of the bathroom and I had to clean it up.

    The hearty breakfast made us very happy. The baguette bread and eggs were great.

    It’s a long way to Marrakech. About 25-30 minutes by car. It was perfect for us since we had allready been in the city, in another hotell for three nights. But if you want to see anything else Tham the hotell you shouldn’t stay here.

    Very nice and beautiful. We loved the pool area and the garden. Very relaxing! The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was great! We stayed here one night after been in central Marrakesh for three nights. That was perfect and relaxing after the noise and very bussieness in the city.

    The only slight negative is that the on-site restaurant only offered a set 2 or 3 course menu. The food was very good quality and tasty but it would have been nice to have a light meal or snack as an option.

    The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good and plentiful with a nice garden seating area near the pool. The pool and gardens were really well maintained and the whole place had a great relaxed vibe. Our room was spacious and clean and the beds comfortable.

    Outside Basket chars outside the room were tired. Garden wall was not private, had a woman jump over the wall and wanted to grab my husbands swimmers, which was of. Did not like that there was no alternative then to get the set menu for dinner. No alternatives, (if there are not alternative food options… kiosk or local restaurants I would expect all inclusive option recommended. To get there and to go away without a private car is difficult and texpensive

    The style, pool, rooms and food was great, including staff

    A paradise garden.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    We'd have liked to stay longer but ran out of time.

    The breakfast was lovely, fresh fruit, yoghurt, eggs whichever way you wanted, lots of coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, French and Moroccan pastries, honey and preserves, but all the food here is very good, lunch and dinner too, along with a good choice of cocktails and wine. The pool is wonderful, and there are fun things like a mini golf course, with two dastardly bunkers, and a pétanque ground. A masseuse comes every day, who also does beauty treatments etc. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with real fossils in the walls. As far as getting there - once we'd booked a transfer was arranged from an easy to find location near the Medina in an air-conditioned car, it took just thirty minutes from Dar El Bacha to Manzil. It's laid back, welcoming, understated and far enough away from the city so that once the lights are out you can see galaxies. We had both a room and a tent - but a super luxury tent with showers, sinks and aircon, all decorated in muted tones, natural fabrics, lovely crisp cotton sheets, and beautifully lit. Bravo to all involved in this little paradise.

    Difficult to find, you have to drive through a barren patch of ground, but don’t let that put you off - it’s worth it!

    Beautiful pool, terrace and lovely rooms. Best breakfast we’ve had in Morocco. Attentive and happy staff A very chilled place to stay, feels like a little oasis outside the bustle of Marrakesh.

    Of course not the hotel's fault: There is many dogs in the neighbourhood barking throughout the night. If you are a light sleeper like me, bring some ear plugs.

    A unique place - we enjoyed every single minute. Great staff, great food, wonderful pool and personal service.

    Since taxis are crazy in Marocco, prepare to have to pay to get there if you don’t have a car. Ask the manager to help you out with prices, and keep negotiating until a cab takes you, otherwise they will ask for a fortune. this has nothing to do with the property but with local attitude towards tourists

    Wonderful place, far away from the busy / crazy feel of Marrakech. Great staff, helpful and awesome all the way. The pool area is very nice, you can get cocktails and a great dinner. Our room was fantastic, the bathtub was huge, everything was clean so it was a fantastic experience. Just make sure you understand where it is, it’s not place from where you go visit the Medina of Marrakech, this place is far out, in a calm zone, it’s a little oasis away from it all! I recommend at any time, you will enjoy your time here for sure!

    Nothing that we have experienced. we understand that during the day, the resort is more busy and no active with external visitors coming over to enjoy the pool - business-music etc are less our cup of tea because we were never there during the day. I feel the resort offers different things for people looking for different energies. Fine with us. We got what we were looking for there - peace and kindness.

    We liked the large swimming pool, the garden, dinner and breakfast by the pool and above all, the quietness in the evenings.

    The room and particularly the bathroom could have been cleaner. We also had insects/cockroaches in the room.

    The amazing pool and jacuzzi were perfect to relax after a long day of travel. Our tent was huge and nicely decorated, not sure I have ever had as much space before, and there was a large bathtub in the middle of the room. Great breakfast.

    The alcohol price was so expensive😅

    Without doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed during my time in Marrakech ! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and general manager, The staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and the restaurant supervisor deserves a special thanks. We had a wonderful night which obviously also added up to the experience.
