            "Simply "The Best Riad" in Marrakech”
I cannot speak highly enough of this riad and it staff. The riad is in an excellent location, a couple of minutes walk away from Jemma el fna square and in the heart of the medina (the real Marrakech). The staff will pamper to your every needs and then leave to you in peace to enjoy yourself. The staff were multi-lingual and spoke fluent English, French and Arabic. There was a complimentry orange juice or mint tea when ever I wanted it.

From the moment I arrived at this riad I felt at home, the smell of fresh flowers and the burning oils took my senses to another level. There were places that I could sit and relax all over this riad, I could mingle with other guest or just "vanish" into my own space if I wanted to.

In my room I found a complementry chilled bottle of water and air con that was ice cold (you have your own temperature control). The bed was perfect (not too hard and not too soft), the same could be said for the pillows and the towels. There were ipod speakers in the room if you wanted to listen to your own music. In fact there was nothing in the room that I could fault, it was perfect.

The ensuite bathroom was also very nice, it was very clean and came with all of the usual complementry toiletries, the shower was very powerful and there was constant hot water 24/7.

The riad is decorated very tastefully and makes you feel at home. There are 2 terraces, the first terrace level has various shaded areas were you can sit and relax, there are also tables where you can sit and eat. There is a music room where you can sit and enjoy your own music or listen to the tastefully relaxing music being played. There is also a massive jacuzzi on this level which is so nice on a hot summers day.

On the second terrace level there is another "chillout room" were you can sit and relax. There are also a lot of sunloungers here were you can sit and take the sun in. There is also a shaded area on this level with a large sofa/bed where I could just lay down in the night and look at the stars (a fantastic experience in Marrakech).

There is free WIFI access (which was fast) and if you dont have your own computer the riad will provide you with a laptop (free of charge) so that you can check your emails and surf the net.

The breakfast was an experience in itself, it was fantastic. It was a mix of fresh pancakes, waffles, omlettes, pastries, jams, honey, breads, the best "freshly squeezed" orange juice, tea and coffee. The staff really look after your every needs and treat you like royalty.

This riad is a real gem, a testiment to its owners and the staff, I had the pleasure of meeting some lovely people at this riad (there were a couple from the USA, Canada, Italy, Spain, Belgium and British staying here, 3 of the couples had stayed before and I could see why they had returned to the same riad. 

Next time I am in Marrakech I will definitely be staying at this riad, if you are thinking of booking this riad then I would say stop thinking and start booking as you will have an experience of a lifetime here.
