August 11, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

Nice hotel, but sickness and diarrhoea staying here

Reviewed By Cloudblue

Hotel is lovely, but the chemist at the top of the road must be doing great business due to the number of people getting sick while staying here. Several of our party suffered vomiting and diarrhoea. The food hygenine is not great. I personally saw guests take pizza and then put it back, children putting their hand into the olive bowl because there was no serving spoons, and one child taking a croissant and then putting it back. There wasn't enough staff in the buffet to stop this happening. I also spoke to several other people who were also sick while we were there. Sickness seemed to be a problem. Apart from going on holiday and becoming sick, which somewhat defeats the purpose of a holiday, the other aspects of the hotel are OK. The grounds are well kept. The water park is good. The lifeguards do their job, I saw them pull 2 kids out of the pools on separate occasions. The rooms are OK. It's just a shame that they haven't quite got the food hygenine up to standard. There was also urine smell on occasion in the main pool. If the good hygenine was better, then I would have given a rating of 4 star.

Movenpick is a very modern hotel, with imponent architecture, fancy and luxurious, bot not stuck up. The breakfast is formidable, infinite options, from typical morrocan delicacies to french pastries. Noteworthy the very kind staff that measure no efforts to satisfy guests, like the cheff who promptly squeezed grapefruits when I mentioned I liked the juice and the concierge, Monsieur Said, who was absolutely fantastic, with great suggestions and finding ways to make reservations at busy restaurants last minute and always asking about my experience.

Lovely stay

Reviewed By Lots66

Lovely stay and highly enjoyable. I spent five nights at La Maison Arabe. Very close to the souks and the main square. The setting with the pool surrounded by the restaurant was idyllic. Food in les Trois Saveurs for dinner excellent in particular the fish tagine which was divine and the chicken with lemon and olives running it a close second. The salads need more variety as it did get a little boring. The service was fantastic and the staff were brilliant throughout the hotel. The rooms were well looked after just a little tired and in need of a refresh and I utterly loved the country club. I am a keen cook so admittedly I did think the cookery school a little pedestrian although I felt the staff were warm and friendly there. Spa treatments excellent

Perfect half term get away

Reviewed By NosandNoo

Oasis perfectly describes this hotel. The surrounding area is dry and dusty, but the moment you walk through the huge doors you are greeted by a calm, tropical oasis. Our room was just right for a family of 4 (room 2621). The pool and the amount of activities on offer from tennis, archery, pickle ball, aqua aerobics - there is enough to keep everyone or all ages entertained. The gym is state of the art, free weights, running machines and even a TRX room and yoga classes. The food was amazing, the salads to die for, it was very easy to eat really healthily on this holiday. The highlight for us though was the staff, whether it was the bar staff with their friendly greetings, the waiters and waitresses with their attention to detail, they kept topping up our wine, or the outstanding entertaining staff who managed to remember your name, include you in lots of activities, but still allow you to enjoy relaxing around the pool. A special shout out goes to Sam, Russ, Sousou, Niako (Archery expert, I dare you to beat him!) and recently arrived Abdel. The waiters Abdul, Hishel, Jalal and Rudaoun were exceptional. My only criticism would be the website does not adequately reflect the amazingness of the hotel!

Good points: - Very clean rooms and communal areas - Swimming pool is amazing - Swimming slides are incredible, kids absolutely loved them. - Good selection of activities such as aqua-aerobics, zumba, water polo etc Bad points: - Usually in a 5 star hotel, the staff will go above and beyond. Here, they did not, there were a handful of lovely staff including waiters and the animation team but opart from this, anything we asked seemed too much trouble, especially at the bar. - Great hotel if you are french - they speak very limited english and everything is in french. - AC in the rooms not great, we were quite hot most nights. - Beds are awfully uncomfortable - so hard! - Cocktails very limited and alcohol definitely watered down. - No allergens highlighted so basically no gluten free choices and nothing labelled, if it was it was in french only so was unable to understand what meats we were eating. - Food quality as expected for an all inclusive but was disappointed with all the cold food as there were flies landing on it all constantly so didn't want to risk eating it. - Had to queue for food and drinks most of the time and guests have no concept of queuing which was rather frustrating. - Dinner starts late - 7pm which is late if you have young children that need feeding. Kids disco doesnt start til 8:30pm.

Very beautiful Riad. Everything looked really authentic. The room we had was goregous and very clean. All the staff members were really great and helpfull. The staff was also extremely polite and helped with every request (Booking a taxi or planning a day trip). The food we had for breakfast and dinner was always good. The moment you set foot in the Riad you’re holiday starts. I will never forget this holiday, because I also proposed to my girlfriend in the Riad. I couldn’t think of a more beautifull setting to propose.
