Les Jardins de Zyriab

We've visited Marrakech several times but always stayed withing the city. This place is a bit removed, and you'll need a car to get to and from the city. This is an excellent value. Great pool, and the small restaurant serves up a good meal. This is especially a place for families with young kids, as there's a playground, even small soccer field. The rooms are very well appointed, and the kitchen has all you need for dining in, which is what many do here. Idea for an extended stay. Only thing lacking was a gym. That said, highly recommeded.

Place was beautiful…it was sketchy in the beginning when we were looking for the place…once we found it’s it opened into an oasis…. Pool was relaxing and the food scrumptious… beds were comfy… keep windows close … bugs fly in.. no screens

I cannot praise this hotel enough - we had a brilliant long weekend. We were 5 girls, having our first girls holiday and chose Les Jardins de Zyriab because we wanted to somewhere safe and secure. The hotel's communication before arrival was excellent, they advised on everything from transfers to currency. Our flight was late but the hotel organised a taxi from us, and the driver, Abdul, waited for us the whole time. We arrived late into the night, but they still made dinner and served it in our villa. Perfect start to the trip. Really comfortable villas with kitchenette, living room area, comfy bedrooms, good bathrooms, everything is clean. Beautiful (albeit cold!) swimming pool - we spent our Saturday having breakfast poolside and sunbathing. Food is good, perhaps a little limited, but we enjoyed it during our 3 night stay. There is no restaurant as such, tables are made up in the reception area. But it didn't bother us as the dining table in the villa meant we could eat in our PJs at night time! We organised a trip through the hotel to into the city centre - we were given the most lovely guide called Mohammed, who was full of information, advice, stories and jokes. We felt so safe in his company and he went the extra mile - buying me a Moroccan blanket when I was out of money, and trusting me to repay him when I got back to the hotel, and helping us haggle for tagine pots. Once again, Abdul drove us around, and waited for us while we went sightseeing. We LOVED IT.

Very nice and quiet retreat. Highly recommended.
