El Hara Vacations

The first room we had was in the 4000 building on the upper level, and the bathroom floor filled with water everytime we took a shower. Maintenance came three times in 2 days, but we could not deal with the sewage smell everytime we entered the room. After telling the receptionist we didn't want maintenance again she moved us to the 3000 building. The room was considered an "upgraded room," but it looked exactly like our previous room, just without the leaks and smell. All of the restaurants served the same breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner every single day. The food tasted okay, but were tired of eating the same stuff day in and day out. The lobby bathroom often had huge waterbugs/roaches running around and flying. The staff and entertainment was enjoyable, but what we liked most about the hotel was the free shuttle that took us to the "big square" and back. Overall, I've stayed at much better Riu hotels. This one thus far is my least favorite. Oh... Bring your own bottle of alcohol, because everything except the wine snd beer are watered down.

Wonderful traditional Riad, very clean and a great location. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, it felt like they couldn’t do enough for you. The staff will recommend places to eat and make your reservations for you. I’d highly recommend the excursion into the Atlas Mountains which the staff book for you. Our guide Hassan was also friendly and knowledgeable and made the day more enjoyable. I’d also recommend getting a Hammam in the Riad. The only negative is the Riad is quite noisy at night, but I think that is the nature of all Riad’s so I don’t hold that against Dar Anika. Can’t rate this Riad highly enough!!

A tranquil oasis in the midst of the medina. Beautiful room, great food and the staff were amazing. The hammam is worth experiencing.

This hotel is an old fashioned Riad, which is quiet, comfortable and relaxing. The staff were all attentive and helpful. It has a slightly unusual arrangement in that the swimming pool formed part of the dining room, which meant that diners and swimmers were only a few feet apart. Hotel reception were very helpful in organising taxis where necessary. All in all, a good insight into old style Marrakech living.

The hotel staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient, particularly in the bars and dining room. Food choices were varied and always fresh options and the a la carte was lovely. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a blend of poolside relaxation and easy access to the centre of Marrakech.
