Palm Groves Spa hotels in Marrakech, Morocco

From our arrival to our departure every detail was taken care of professionally. A true romantic escape 20 minutes away from the busy city.

We stayed a week and were trying to keep to a budget. We booked last minute with no problems at all and the Expedia staff were helpful in the circumstances. We got stung as soon as we landed and played twice as much as we should have for a taxi, book a pick up on with Les doux tours to avoid this! It will cost around 150MAD. The riad itself was beautiful, a real luxury, and the staff were always welcoming and extremely helpful. Make sure to visit the artisan centre on Mohammed V Ave before going to the sooks to get an idea of prices beforehand. The riad offered a free shuttle bus which allowed us to explore the Medina without the hastle of bartering with a taxi driver and saved us a lot of money too. Food was fantastic, we are vegetarians and the cous cous legumes was delicious, relatively limited choices for veggies but tasty nonetheless.great experience and would certainly stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Terre. There were a couple of minor glitches, but these were dealt with efficiently and generously by the hotel's management, which seems intent on improving what's perceived as wrong and truly offering a good experience to guests. The room was comfortable and roomy, the hotel's food was decent, the pools are clean and inviting, and the gardens/grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept. we had an issue with transfers and shuttles to town, but these were addressed by the hotel and, whilst I've rated the "convenience" of the hotel's location and the surrounding neighbourhood as only middle rankings, we much, much preferred to be out of the true hustle and bustle of Marrakech, which would have tired and irritated us quickly. The location is superb for peace, quiet, and relaxation with good service.

We had a beautiful suite with characterful Morrocan furniture. Very comfortable and lovely detail. Lovely paintings in the suite and in the halls. The breakfasts are taken in a beatiful annex by the pool with views over the golf course, and the pastries were to die for. This is also the only restaurant in the hotel and while it is very stylish and has fabulous designer chairs and decor,was not up to the price. The chef was trying too hard to be different, and my sole while fabulous was ruined by the coriander and chic pea covering. Yuk! There are however several excellent restaurants in the Palmerie hotel which is part of the same complex and five minutes walk away through the gardens. We were a little annoyed on the last day to find that on the roof two floors above our room there was a terrace with loungers, settees and an open air jaccussi which no one had told us about. There is a small stylish pool at the hotel but we found the huge swimming complex (and I mean huge)at the Palmerie nicer. There are also good and cheap spa treatments available at both hotels which we can recomend.

I definitely recommend this hotel, lovely staff, good and quality food, many entertainments. Suits to families, couples and singles.

We loved the hotel, it was very peaceful, away from the City Centre, but in beautiful surroundings. We were very pleased with our room, which was very quiet and beautifully decorated in a Moroccan style. Our view was stunning!

This hotel was a nice surprise because it had the personalized attention of a B&B with the quality of a luxury hotel. Spa and Hammam were very relaxing and the pool and "tent" were welcome additions to the retreat. The food was home-cooked and deliciously authentic.

We decided to have "a get away from it all" Christmas this year. We had been to Marrakech before at Christmas 2004 and stayed in a large hotel close to the city centre. This time we chose the Riad Dar Ilham about 7 miles outside the city, what a wise choice. We had a relaxing, peaceful break far from the hustle & bustle of the Medina. The Riad was staffed with wonderful helpful people who made everything perfect. Everyone associated with this Riad deserves praise. We shall definitely return.
