Hotels With Swimming Pools in Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

When arrived at the reception the booking number was not registered on the their system, they asked me to fill in a paper form with my details and I had to wait for 15 minutes to check in.

This is the second time and I'm very happy, I am a terribly manic person And in this hotel I was very satisfied with all the services From arrival to departure. If there is something to say!!! For me it would be the top quality distinction.

Lovely would recommend. Cheap and cheerful. Don’t know why people are so negative about this place, I would stay here again. Clean, beds made everyday, clean towels, friendly staff. Located twenty minute walk from the square, and the souks. Off licence around the corner, which sells plenty of beer, wine and spirits. £11.00, for a bottle of wine and six beers. Highly recommended!!!

We checked in to our deluxe room, and it was a horrible stay. First off, the deluxe room building is the furthest building away from the hotel, and by the time we get to our room, the view from our balcony is of a construction site and parking lot. Our room had a particularly strong vinegar smell to it, and we asked to move rooms. We were told that every deluxe room was sold out and we would be able to move rooms the next day. Next day comes around and we didn’t hear from the hotel. Every call to guest services took at least 3-5 minutes until someone answered or called back. We also came back to our hotel room unlocked, and it seemed housekeeping didn’t truly close our door when they cleaned it. On our last night, the A/C didn’t seem to work. We called guest services and the lady I spoke to told me that it was turned off for the whole hotel. When asked why or when will it be turned back on, she abruptly interrupts me and says I’m transferring you to the front desk. I waited for at least 2 minutes on the phone before someone from the front desk to answer my call, and he informs me that someone will come check our A/C. We love staying at different hotels in different countries and had no issues with other hotels in Marrakech, however, our stay at Movenpick was very underwhelming and staff didn’t seem to care at all. This has been a very awful experience, and hope that the hotel management can make a much better experience and improvement for others.

Nice trip with mostly good service.. we had a very nice time in this Riad ( our first experience of a Riad). I will list the negative points first. We booked this holiday through Easyjet after our original hotel booking had to be changed. We did not realise the room was budget room no 13 ..1st floor. The room was dark, the Tv did not work as there was an issue with the Satellite for the whole of our trip.. the beds were very hard and the room was very small with little storage for clothes. We pre ordered an evening meal however we did not receive our tea/coffee and the waiter ignored us and went to sit and chat with his friends on another table. The lack of English by the staff was an problem. The breakfast tea ( mint) was not nice it was over stewed. We booked treatments in the SPA and the booking was incorrectly taken. Thus the result was a foot massage instead of a head massage, although this was still charged for. The booking times were also altered from 90 minutes to 60 minutes without consulting with me.. The matter was brought to the attention of the manager but he did not seem interested. Issue with currency and use of card. This initially was a problem as the hotel did not offer a conversion service and seemed reluctant to accept card. We had to walk into the center to find a conversion shop and queue for 30 minutes. One final issue,, we were concerned for the welfare of the street cats some of whom had eye issues possibly cat flu. While we did not see any cruelty directly towards these beautiful creatures we were upset at how they seem to be ignored and barely tolerated.... it is worth noting that we are all deserving of kindness and medical treatment. Positive points. The air con was excellent, there was little noise at night only the call to prayers at 5.25 in the mornings. The night manager did provide us with blankets to improve the quality of the beds. We could pay the bill using Credit card. We received a nice mint tea and biscuits when we arrived with a detailed map. The Berber evening meal was interesting as was the lunch. The Riad settling was very pretty and cool. There were sunbeds to sit out on to catch some sun if needed. We had a fantastic 3 hour walking guide around the old city which was amazing. There was plenty of water for showers and the Riad was very clean. there were also 2 very friendly puss cats in the hotel.

The hotel is amazing the staff the food the services… everything is wonderful. Essadi hotel located in te city center where everything is closed: restaurants, drug stores, coffee shops and supermarkets. I recommend it strongly and hope you will enjoy it as we did 😌

What a gem of a property in the Accor catalog of accommodation and hospitality! I am a senior, solo, single traveler, and Ibis rooms are just fine with me! The Wi-Fi could be a little bit better, but that's the problem with the vendor and the Internet service Provider, not the Ibis. Although this Ibis would be within their rights to demand better service- in 2023, with 100+ rooms. I came directly from an Ibis in Lisbon, which had fewer items for breakfast, and no Chef for evening dinner! The breakfast is a wonderful mix of Moroccan, Arabic, French foods, but also American/English. Scrambled eggs are made without dairy, and I brought my own gluten-free bread from Carrefour to be sure. While they do have a container of Honey, I bring my own, as I don't like touching containers and spoons touched by other customers... another customer absconded with my honey yesterday, and one of the wait staff had to retrieve it! Three languages are spoken here: Moroccan, Arabic, French, and plenty of English. Any word that is too specific can be translated on any of the web translation sources. Like when I needed to explain that DHL was bringing a package with my gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that Carrefour does not stock! There's been some shuffling of the wait staff in the last few days, but besides being new, quiet, and shy, they are all talented and all understand hospitality. The evening dinner is attended to by the top echelon of the hotel staff and everything is more than fine – which in my case means a very plain and simple American taste. Since I don't carry currency, the evening food bill goes on my room tab. Breakfast was part of the booking in the first place, but I don't fully understand what ”half-board” means, if that means evening dinner, so I will be inquiring about that. Being next-door to the train station means it's a three minute walk to excellent sight seeing and people watching. And McDonald's of you so care, and at least two mobile phone SIM shops. Carrefour is a 10 minute walk, and there is a shopping mall which is about a 20 minute walk which I will be visiting for recreation purposes and window shopping, to get a feel for the retail culture of this city. And people watching! I did read about the potable water situation on a Moroccan tourism page. This Ibis has plenty of bottled water, so just ask- at Reception and of course in the Restaurant.  I also read about cash versus credit card. The three places that I have spent money at have all accepted cards. It is currently Ramadan, but this Ibis respects International tourists' needs and wants. No disruption of service- and the staff seem to be very happy to be celebrating the holiday. My room had two minor maintenance issues, which were resolved quickly. The garden is beautiful and peaceful, and well manicured. I have stayed with other brand name chain hotels in the US and Europe. There is nothing in this historic building that is outdated, or in need of renovation. The most important

We checked in in the morning, which we were very grateful to them for allowing us to do. Everyone was so kind and helpful even after we realized there was a problem with our reservation. They worked with us and never tried to charge us for the mistake even though they certainly could have (especially when it took a few days for our travel agent to fix it). The food was delicious, every single person was friendly and helpful. We also got massages at the spa and were so happy and relaxed. They even held our luggage for free for a few days while we went on an excursion. The rooms they gave us for the second half of our stay were even nicer than the first. They were in the process of filing the pool and we really enjoyed sitting out by it even though they were laying even more pretty tile (the hotel is very beautiful as it is, even nicer than the pictures). I will say the internet passwords kept expiring which was annoying, but they always gave us a new code without any issue except the minor inconvenience. We will definitely be back.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a disappointing experience with the front desk staff, specifically the two girls on duty during my check-in at 9 PM. Despite my reservation, I had to wait over 30 minutes for a room, which turned out to be different from the one I booked. Despite informing them of our anniversary, the staff's response was unhelpful. The initial room's view was changed without acknowledgment, and the alternative offered was worse. Only after speaking to the manager ( it's worth noting that the manager I spoke to was exceptionally friendly and understanding) did we receive a better room, but it still wasn't the one we booked. The lack of consideration for our special occasion made it a frustrating experience overall.

Stayed for three nights whilst in Marrakech for business; Relax are a chain of budget friendly hotels similar to Ibis in style and concept. The hotel is located in a modern part of Marrakech some distance away from the old centre, making it easy to get to by car. The room was a good size and very clean with a powerful shower, and comfortable bed. WIFI was available in the room and worked well for me. The room had air con, which worked fairly well (given that the temperature outside was up to 50˚C). The hotel has a nice small pool behind it that also helped to keep cool. The bar / restaurant didn’t seem to open much during my stay; however there is a large Marjane hypermarket across the road which has a number of cafes to choose from. Overall, I recommend this for anyone looking for inexpensive accommodation away from the old city.

We had a great stay at this hotel! The children were able to fully enjoy it. Thanks to Sarah, Najib and Fatiha Thanks to Said du colombus Thanks to Osama for the entertainment And without forgetting Mourad, Abdelatif and Ayoub always caring We will come back for sure!

Very peaceful surroundings with many beautiful friendly peacocks freely walking around. Owner pleasant and lives in the riad. Staff friendly. It’s around twenty minutes out of the city but free transport is laid on if you have booked the through Bookings.com. We did not but it’s easy to get to the city by just walking 5 minutes to the main road….plenty of shared taxis vans and even locals will take you…..1 euro 60p. Nice pool and another large pool ready in a few weeks. Massive gardens with olive and lemon trees. Great stay and will certainly return in the future. Enjoy! We certainly did.

Nice welcome with tea and cakes, fairly lively room service, the two swimming pools are very good, one of which is natural without chlorine, breakfast there is really a choice and a waiter at the top. Advantage burkini ok shuttle that brings you back to town every hour, with family or friends, a nice place.

After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!

It’s okay soon, the hotel in Morocco is basically the same, and there is a small episode in the middle. We waited for the kung fu waiter in the downstairs to think that we checked out and left the things in the room, but it’s all right. Looking back, everything else is ok

I spent a couple of nights with my wife after doing a country tour. So, the trip was to relax. The place itself and owner were very polite, breakfast was great. But there is always a but. When I booked, the main thing was parking. The description showed parking and that is incorrect. You have to park outside the medina and pay for it (US$5-7/night), then you need to hire a cart person to take your luggage into the hotel (unless you don't kind carrying yourself) About US$2. Since the place was to sleep and relax for a couple night, unfortunately the open floor design spread any sound from the bottom floor to the entire bldg, so if someone wakes up at 6am, for sure you will wake up as well. The site shows handicap accessible. I am not sure if there are rooms on the bottom floor, but you need to climb stairs for the other rooms, no elevator, so, not sure about accessibility. So, again, great location, wife (decorator) loved the decoration, but in my case, I just wanted to sleep in and rests after 2 weeks driving and the noise in the AM unfortunately did not help much. It is a small place so, if you have a family gathering and can occupy the 7-8 rooms, you will love it.

Well... Where to Start ... I ve been taking group of 22 dancers to Morocco for more than 22 years ... This year we planned Essaouira ... As I worked in collaboration with Hotel des Iles before... I just expected the same welcome we used to get ... But it looks like they have a New Manager who seem to know all and nothing at all ... Our Food during the week was appalling and a mediocre Tasteless with tiny portions and Dry ( Hardly any sauces served) .. That s such a shame as we re in one the best countries of the world when it comes to Food and welcoming ... Plus we had consistent comments on the dancing elements.. why were people dancing ( even in our initial emails it states the purpose of the visit ?????? ( what this got to do with him .... ff..... knows) But I ll have to give credit to the Friendly staff who never fail to please the group.. I don t usually leave Reviews But I feel this needs to reach the main Boss of the Hotel ...

Large groups of students aren't the easiest customers, but La Perle de Mogador provided a top-notch experience for everyone. During our stay, it was very rainy and they still were incredibly welcoming as we trudged water and dirt through their lobby. The hotel was incredibly clean and hospitable, 10/10 experience, would stay here again.

You know when you walk into a room and think 'oh yes!' ? That's this hotel. It's about the view, but not just about the view. That view though: right up and down the beach, perfect for sunset. Going to sleep and walking up listening to the waves roll in. The hotel is 5 minutes' walk to the Medina and close to both CTM and Supratours bus stops. Just across from the entrance is a beach bar and sun loungers. The breakfast spread is well worth getting up for with a wide selection of Moroccan and French options. The best thing though: Imane on the reception desk. She could not have been more friendly and helpful and made a great stay even better. Shkran Imane!
