The hotel has a lovely pool area and the service was very attentive and friendly. While the rooms were clean and well-maintained, they did show some signs of wear and tear. The location is beautiful, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine, but it's a bit far from the center of Marrakech. Overall, it's a good value for the money, but there are a few areas for improvement, especially with the hot water supply.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the spacious grounds and the friendly staff who were always ready to help. The rooms, while modern and well-equipped, turned out to be smaller than I expected. The location was a bit far from Marrakech, but that was okay for the peace and quiet. Dining options were pretty good, and I felt it was worth the money, especially for the buffet nights, but I would have loved a wider variety for breakfast.

The hotel provided a comfortable stay with a cozy and immaculate room, although there were a few annoying issues like the constant stream of ants in the bathroom. The location was surrounded by beautiful greenery, and the adult-only pool was a peaceful retreat. The dining options were excellent, especially the freshly made dishes. However, the issue with the unpleasant smell in the room and the need for a better management of the service made the experience a bit less than perfect.
