Le Relais de Marrakech

Vreedzaam en rustig hotel

Goede locatie om als uitvalsbasis te gebruiken als je over eigen vervoer beschikt. Het is vrij ver van het centrum of eventuele restaurants/attracties. We verbleven in de deluxe tent voor 6 personen, het was erg basic, maar werkte om gewoon in te slapen (we hebben niet op de camping gegeten of gebruik gemaakt van de faciliteiten). Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en was 24 uur per dag beschikbaar, wat nuttig was. De camping is ruim en rustig - het was een beetje stoffig en gedateerd, maar had voldoende zitplaatsen, een mooi zwembad en een speeltuin voor kinderen. Het was een grote schande om te zien dat boerkini's verboden zijn in het zwembad.

Slechtste hotel waar ik ooit heb verbleven. De eerste dag vond ik een insect op mijn kussen en er waren geen kussenslopen. Het kussen was echt vies. De kledingkast was kapot en zat vol spinnenwebben en op de vloeren zaten haren. De douche was kapot, er was geen shampoo, conditioner of zeep. Ook de oplaadstekker was kapot. Ik werd wakker met een bedwantsvlek op mijn arm en een gezwollen lip. De buitenkant is het enige leuke. Zou het niet aanbevelen.

I absolutely loved it here, really good for what price you pay, me and my partner stayed in a teepee type room which looked amazing, definitely a couples get away- there’s a nice little restaurant with amazing food on site, coffee machine and a few alcoholic drink options (which is sometimes hard to find in Marrakesh due to Muslim faith) few other mentions that they don’t accept cash and it is a little off the beaten track from the centre of Marrakesh, this is understandable though as it’s an RV/Campervan yard too… but it’s definitely worth a visit, the showers are nice and hot and the pool nice and cold on a hot day … we will definitely be back sometime soon!

Very good value for money, great facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. The only minor point is the taxi ride back was difficult on the occasions we took them as the taxi drivers did not know the place at all.....this was only a minor hiccup though. The accommodation was fabulous and the bar, food and surrounding areas including the pool were lovely. I will be coming back to this lovely resort. Thank you Bob

We upgraded from a delux tent to an aironditioned room given the high temperatures and this was arranged well over email. The rooms are very basic (not really like the pics which were obviously dressed for the photoshoot). Aircon works well and was a godsend. The bathroom is terrible - contortion yourself around the basin and sit on the loo with your nose almost touching the wall. No soaps or shampoos provided. The pool is lovely, and there were enough sun loungers. The reception and cafe/restaurant only takes cash, and you need a taxi to get to the nearest ATM, 10 mins away by car. We sat for 3 hours one morning waiting for food because the staff member on duty did not offer us an alternative to the 1 traditional breakfast which was not an experience I wanted to repeat, and she said that was all that we could order. Despite this we saw plates of scrambled egg and toast going out to other diners. We were told that the kitchen opened at 11am for anything else so by that time we thought we'd just a little longer for what we wanted. By the time food arrived it was 12 noon, and I'd called the manager over twice to complain and apparently it was because she only spoke French and didn't understand, and everything was made fresh from scratch - we'd only ordered a pani and chips - hardly an hours worth of prep. In a site that does not allow you to bring food in, the choice of breakfast needs a serious overhaul. Had there been another option on the menu I could have pointed to it. Lunch menu's; we had 2 out of 4 meals that were good. The manager, Amenina, spoke English and French and she was very good. We called her at midnight one night to arrange a taxi for us from the main square since we wanted reassurance that we would get to our destination safely, and she made sure she sent someone reputable. So, it's a cheap stay - great if you have kids. Pity there is not much grass and just sand around the site, and no campsite shop. A few more conveniences would not go amiss.

Burkini isn’t allowed in the pool, a lady was escorted of the pool when she was playing with her two children just because of her bathing suit of her choice. Insane. Other than that, good place, food

Positives: nice pool and restaurant with good food although drinks very expensive. Negatives:location is about 20 minutes from old city, no bus so have to use taxi at around £10 each way, £15 at night so cheap accomodation becomes rather expensive. Nothing in local area to see just scrubland and stray dogs. Mainly a site for camper vans but there are rooms and tents. We had a room: reasonable size but most uncomfortable lumpy double bed - terrible back ache. The worst part was our "en-suite bathroom" - corner of the room curtained off, with a shower that in 3 days never gave us hot water, despite reporting it, a sink that was constantly blocked and never cleared (I wont go into details), 1 tiny threadbare towel. So close to our bed that on getting the inevitable dicky tummy, to save our embarrassment i had to send my poor partner outside in the middle of the night. You have to use the restaurant as the site "shop" sells barely more than water and bread and no where to prepare your own food anyway and there are no other shops nearby within walking distance. So pleased we had 3 days in a beautiful riad in the medina otherwise would have left with a very negative view on marrakech.
