Great video. Going here in July for a week. Its the kids first big holiday. Suoer excited after watching this. Thanks for posting.

[@Mikes_Travels]

My pleasure and glad it helped you. I'm sure you'll have a great time. If you have any questions, just ask. I've posted a video as well of the Medina and Souks (you can get transport from the hotel). Might be of some help as well if you are thinking of visiting. All the best and thanks for watching

[@SiLENCERCHRiZ]

​@@Mikes_Travelswich is the best for food

[@Mikes_Travels]

Thanks for watching. To be honest, we preferred the buffet restaurant as really good choice and quality but the Morrocon restuarant food quality was also very good but not such a good choice. I've done a seperate video re the food in the Morroco playlist re this hotel if you want to check it out. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[@SiLENCERCHRiZ]

@@Mikes_Travels Mike wich one in Marrakech is in your eyes best hotel and why?

[@Mikes_Travels]

@SiLENCERCHRiZ I can only comment on the Riu hotel I stayed at I'm afraid, as that's the only one I've stayed at so far in Morocco

[@samihafellah9054]

Thanks for the great video xx Is there a video of the medina ?

[@Mikes_Travels]

Thank you very much. I've also done a video of the Medina on my channel. There is a Morroco playlist. Let me know if you can't find it

Hi Mike, this tour was very helpful in choosing this hotel. Can I ask if I need a travel adaptor for charging phones for this hotel? Thank you. I'm from the UK.

[@Mikes_Travels]

Hi thanks for watching and for your comment. Please can I ask you to give the video a like if it's been useful as it helps the KZbin algorithm to push it out to others who may fund it useful. You will need an adapter from the UK (that's where I'm from). I believe it's type C and E for Morocco. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions Thanks again

[@jamesparry5928]

Hi, thanks for the video. We’re visiting here in August with our two children. Although we want a nice relax / quiet break, just wondering is there entertainment at night etc? Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Mikes_Travels]

Hi James I'm sure you'll have a lovely time. Yes there is evening entertainment. It's posted what it is for the week outside of the main buffet restaurant and usually starts between 8pm and 9pm. If you were thinking of visiting the medina and Souks, I've also done a video of that in my Marrakech playlist. All the best

Do you know if the pool is heated in December, we’re thinking of going 26th dec

[@Mikes_Travels]

Thank you for watching. I think the pool may be naturally heated and I haven't been there in December, so can't answer that one I'm afraid. Perhaps you could e mail the hotel. I'm sure they will help you.

[@jasonswife001]

Watched your video on Tue last week (23rd April 2024), booked it on Wed, went on Fri- Mon This week. Your video was really accurate! Thank you for this. Here is my review if any wants it....... Cons: Pool was too cold for me to go in, which was disappointing as i'm a big Swimmer and that's a key part of my holiday. Food, was not nice, was only ok. There was a Cockroach in my bathroom and it was massive! There was a Cockroach in the lobby toilet (also massive). My daughter got ill ( we believe it was from the food as we only ate at the hotel) . I also over heard someone else in the lobby saying they also got ill. The drinks were disgusting ......Now, I know that reading this it looks like the holiday was awful and the hotel was not nice, but aside from the above it was actual nice and we did enjoy our weekend. Pros: Staff very very friendly and want to please, hotel grounds/Garden, beautiful, lovely plants, lovely to walk around ( as pictures in this video), room was nice and clean, hotel was very clean, lobby had nice decor and was clean. pool was nice to sit around even though I couldn't get in..... Some braved it and went in..... I would recommend this hotel. I would take some v&d sickness tablets ( but I don't think that it specific to this hotel, I think its prob the while country).

[@Mikes_Travels]

Thanks very much for watching and for your comments. I will always be honest and review places I visit as I see it, as I think that's most helpful for people. My videos are not sponsored and I don't really want them to be so I'm not beholding to anyone I'm sorry you encountered the issues you did. Really unfortunate, but good on you for not letting those issues spoil your time there. Thanks again

[@Thailand-mt9op]

I was there in October 2022, food was awful, pool freezing it was not good

[@Mikes_Travels]

​@@Thailand-mt9op Sorry to hear that. Perhaps they were still trying to sort things after the earthquake the previous few weeks? Have to say as per the video, that I enjoyed my time there. Thanks fkr watching the video

[@Thailand-mt9op]

@@Mikes_Travels or earth quake. Lovely hotel just the food and the ice cold pool

[@lucasfamily6917]

Hi thanks for sharing your video. I am going there with my parents in July and it doesn’t mention fridges in the rooms. My father is a diabetic and needs a fridge, so I was wondering do the have fridges in the rooms please? If not how did you manage for drinks because my understanding is you have to drink bottle water. I appreciate a feed back please. Kind regards

[@Mikes_Travels]

Hi I hope you have a lovely time. We had a fridge in our room. Thanks very much for watching

[@lucasfamily6917]

Thank you for your reply. Your video helped us choose this hotel, can’t wait to get there 👍🏼

[@Mikes_Travels]

@lucasfamily6917 Glad I helped and thanks very much again for watching

[@royhays3382]

Hi. Is there entertainment on an evening? If so, what’s it like? Thanks in advance.

[@Mikes_Travels]

Hi Thanks for watching the video. There is entertainment for an hour or so in the evening usually about 9pm such as male and female singers, local dancers and occasionally during the week, quizes such as Mr and Mrs / male v female if that's your thing. From what we saw, the entertainment was of a decent standard, but we only went in there a couple of times. Hope that helps

[@JimmyTheSinz]

Do they show live sport in the hotel?

[@Mikes_Travels]

Yes they do in the bar area just inside reception that I show. I can't say for definite if they show all sports in there though

[@danielleandrews7965]

Was their a currency exchange in the hotel?

[@Mikes_Travels]

Hi Yes there was. If you go to reception, they can change money there for you. As you've probably seen in the video, there is also an ATM where you can cash money for a small transaction fee. You probably know this already, but just in case you don't, always accept local currency to avoid crazy exchange fees. If the video was helpful, please can you give it a like as it helps me, helps my channel and encourages KZbin to push it to others who may get benefit from it. Thanks for watching
