Palm Groves Pet-friendly hotels in Marrakech, Morocco

We (2 adults & a 12 year old) stayed at Residence Dar Lamia over the 2014/15 New Year. We found the owners, Celine & Hugo both charming & very helpful - they did everything to make our stay memorable. n The NYE party was one to remember. The hotel itself is out of town & all the better for it - Marrakech itself is only a 10 minute cab ride away.

This is the first time we have been to Marrakech & we had the best time! I cannot praise this hotel enough-the staff were outstanding & the attention to detail in looking after all the guests was 110% spot on! The Morroccan people are so warm & friendly & always polite-although it can be a little overwhelming when you first go to the Medina & they approach you-be firm but respectful & polite! They are happy to point you in the right direction should you lose your way & we found them very welcoming to visitors, either in the shops, markets, or in the streets-they also like to banter with tourists! The leather is an excellent buy-as are the scarves-always haggle-it is expected!! You will get some real bargains in the medina & there are also designer shops in the European quarter if that's what you prefer-take a trip there by horse & carriage-agree the price before you get in though! Evening entertainment in the medina includes real snake charmers, acrobats & traditional Morrocan bands-you can also get a Henna tattoo from one of the Berber women! Visit the Jardin majorelle & the Yves Saint Laurent memorian & museum-it is beautiful & very colourful! Loads to so & see in Morrocco-you will be spoiled for choice!

Absolutely beautiful hotel situated away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. We had a perfect week at Les Deux Tours. All the staff are lovely and the architecture/design is stunning. The hotel is just a 15 minute taxi from the city centre. Only positive things to say!

Was a lovely retreat. Very friendly staff, always attentive. Could have been more toiletries and items you would expect in a 5* hotel.

We are a Family of five (kids 13,16,18) who stayed five nights at Terra Mia Marrakech during October half term. We stayed in one of their private fully furnished two bedroom Houses that had a private pool. Even in October the pool was such a welcome relief after a hot dusty day in Marrakech. The Riad is about 15 minutes from the centre of Marrakech and offers free transport three times a day to/from the Riad as well as Airport collection/drop off. This took the hassle away from using private Taxis. That suited us fine as we spent all day in Marrakech, then ate dinner outside the main Riad on a lovely patio. The food was excellent and authentic. Our holiday was the perfect mixture of adventure and sight seeing during the day, and chilling out by the pool in the evening. Highly recommend.

I took my very ill mother to the Jardin D'Ines for two nights in November. The weather was glorious, the staff were attentive and the food was delicious.

Ok, so the journey there was a bit of a worry as we hadn't prebooked a lift from the airport, and the final mile of riad is a bit on the bumpy side. But when we got there and were led through to the reception it was instantly clear that this is certainly a place you can chill out. Free shuttles into Marrakech every day, fantastic 4 course dinners and really lovely and helpful staff made this a great stay.

Amazing hotel with brilliant facilities. Kids club is excellent and the staff are all so welcoming and ever ready to assist. Beautiful grounds covered with palm trees and is actually way better than it looks in the images. Breakfast is also good. Cant wait to go back! The Medina is about 20 mins away but a free shuttle is provided every 30 mins by the hotel. Great place for a relaxing getaway and definitely family friendly. The kids villiage have activities for children all day long and the staff entertain the kids brilliantly. There was also a morrocan show on one of the evenings with acrobats, snake charmers and morrocan music. The kids villiage has go karts, slides, trampolines etc and also some animals on site. Would reccommend 100%

I will certainly go back

I was there in July 2012. I booked, based on Expedia customer reviews, here is what I experienced from my stay: 1. Bad customer service - When I phoned reception from my room (after struggling to find the correct number, as they wrote the wrong number on the phone), the lady in reception hung the phone up on me, when I tried to call again she wouldn't answer or would put me on hold. In the end I had to walk there from my room to request for help. 2. No Wi-Fi in the rooms - I now realise it does say on expedia that 'available in some public areas', but I booked the hotel last minute and really needed access to stay in contact with family back home. Internet access is only available near the pool area, and when its dark at night with all the lights out there, it's not very welcoming. 3. Unclean room - Although the room was very tidy, the tiled floor in my room was not clean, I did not feel comfortable walking bare foot in the room. There was also a dead spider on my bed when I first arrived and the kitchen cupboards in my room were full of grease marks, making me very uncomfortable to use the kitchen area at all. The toothbrush holder in the bathroom had a dirty cotton bud inside it, so I never put my toothbrush inside it. 4. The Pool area lights go out at night - as mentioned in point 2, the communal area lights are turned off, not as the photo shown on Expedia, leaving you in darkness. Good luck and have a wonderful stay in Marrakech, it is a wonderful city!
