Friendly staff and a good place to relax in the sun for a few days, nice pool for the grownups - separate to the family pool - was a nice touch. Food is very good and varied, but very expensive compared to local rates. Way cheaper, and more interesting, to get a taxi into Marrakesh and eat there. Drinks also super expensive compared to local rates - think London prices, but for watery cocktails. Room was so, so - clean enough but AC unit smelt of drains so slept with the doors open instead; also to note the 'two double beds' option is actually one bed and one sofa bed - not that comfy if you're there for more than a few days and need both beds. Basically it's a 4 star hotel with 5 star prices, but we'd not rule out going again as you could certainly do a lot worse.…Friendly staff and a good place to relax in the sun for a few days, nice pool for the grownups - separate to the family pool - was a nice touch.

Fantastic villa with friendly helpful staff!…

5 de 5

We were 2 families who stayed at the villa over the New Year - on the first day we were greeted by the lovely housekeeper who had prepared a delicious Moroccan meal for us. Throughout the stay we were looked after by her and the cleaning lady. The security guard was also available to help whenever we needed anything and we felt very safe even though the villa is in a quiet and remote place. Food was prepared according to our wishes and we felt very pampered. The villa was kept clean every day and our children enjoyed exploring the beautiful garden with its numerous fruit trees, cacti and rose bushes. Taxi services were readily available (though more expensive than we had anticipated) and the main sights were less than 30 mins drive away. Airport pick up was arranged by the owner (€25) and we were very grateful for the services provided. The pool was very clean and a fantastic size for a large party. Fresh towels were provided daily. The only down side was not having the pool heated- which meant we used it less than we would otherwise have in the cold season. Having said that, the villa and poolside are stunning and it was a real pleasure to have such luxurious surroundings for our stay. The owner was always available to answer any questions and replies were always courteous and prompt. We cannot thank him and his staff enough for a very enjoyable and memorable stay in Marrakesh! We would highly recommend this lovely place. :))…We were 2 families who stayed at the villa over the New Year - on the first day we were greeted by the lovely housekeeper who had prepared a delicious Moroccan meal for us.
