L'OLIVERAIE DE L'ATLAS

I chose L' Oliveraie de atlas due to the location of the hotel being outside of Marrakesh ( 30 mins outside of Marrakesh by car ). Located among olive and orange trees and amazing gardens, L' Oliveraie de atlas consists of one main building with the restaurant with a handful of rooms. Within the grounds there are three amazing riads that house bedrooms and suites with various pools . Due to travelling around Morocco, I ended up staying in four different rooms, all absolutely stunning with no issues. I found this a very quiet and relaxing environment to be in . The hotel was ideal to also come back to after several days away touring in Morocco. The food was outstanding, the breakfast buffet was typical continental moroccan, better than what I had while I was away in other hotels across Morocco. The coffee is Nespresso , so not bad coffee at all for a serious coffee drinker! They supply a taxi service to and from the centre of Marrakesh twice a day should you need it , however I did not need this at the time. The hotel also provides taxis to the city centre or the airport at discount. Having got a quote for £ 60.00 from the airport to L'Oliveraie de atlas , they provided a taxi for €25.00 The hotel provides a spa which I took advantage of, this I fully recommend, one of the best massage for several years. ( If you do have spa , this is located in Riad jardin). The staff were friendly and could not do enough to help you. It was very friendly , family atmosphere and i'm looking forward to going back soon .

Lunch and dinner food , location, views , service . We had a heatwave so extra bonus . The pools although cold but it is March one was dirty . Gardens are beautiful, waitors are so good but seem to work long hours and run off there feet . Jacuzzi outside wasn't on but there is a drought! Small fridge in room , bonus . We were in Z9 . They sell alcohol even in Ramadan but alot cheaper in Marrakesh. Carfour didn't sell alcohol but Champion market had large selection and lovely whites for under £5 . We like the bottle La Cuvee du Terroir . You must show him your passport and you can buy as much as you want . Car is essential, once you are out of Marrakesh it's a doddle but not for the faint hearted in Marrakesh. Jezzz . !!

Outstanding dance teacher for kids mini disco, a real asset to the hotel Food is very good quality, varied selection Hotel is very nicely designed

If you are looking for a place out of the city where you can relax and enjoy the nature, this is a hotel I totally recommend. It’s just 15 min away from the city center of Marrakech and there is a shuttle that brings you there. Furthermore the staff were friendly and nice to us. We also appreciated the flexibility. We travelled with a baby and the hotel staff provided us dinner at 5:30 instead of 8 pm which is the normal time. Overal good experience!

The room was big and had great views of the pool. The bathroom was also spacious and had a bath tub. You need to let the water run for some time to get warm but then it works great. The breakfast had good choice of different breads and pancakes, fruit and cereal, some olives and eggs. Some yogurts would be nice as a healthier option. Coffee machine was also very appreciated. The staff was very nice and I think this is what made our stay. Everyone was nice and willing to help. They were arranging taxis for us daily and helped us with things we needed. The pools were nice to look at but quite cold to swim in and the jacuzzi is also a cold water jacuzzi. We didn't try the spa offered at the hotel, partially because we didn't have time but also because the prices are very similar to those in the UK so it did not feel as if we were missing out. The location is great if you are looking to be out of town, the hotel also offers free shuttles to town in the morning. Taxis to town cost 150 dir or roughly 15 euros one way. We didn't mind paying for taxis, but we had an issue with one of the tours we had booked to do, they wouldn't pick us up because of how far the place was. However, another tour did so I guess depends on the activity. Might be worth checking that out before.
