Palais Tara & Spa

The Riad was in an excellent location, very clean and nicely decorated. The staff were so wonderful especially Nawel and Aya. The gentleman who served breakfast was also on the desk some evenings and was so hard working. The breakfast food was delicious and was all home made (bread, cakes, pancakes, jams etc) by a very good cook. We also had fruit and yogurt, eggs and peanut butter to die for. We loved the place.

We had a very enjoyable four night stay at Palais Tara & Spa. All the staff we met were really friendly and couldn't do enough to help, special thanks to Nouhaila for her hospitality. The whole place was spotlessly clean and felt very new. We had a hammam there, which was a great experience. The staff arranged our airport transfers and collected us from the taxi drop off point and walked us back to the hotel which was really helpful as it was our first time in Marrakech and very disorientating when you first arrive. We arrived quite late in the evening and they recommended us a nearby restaurant for dinner. The staff walked us there and then asked the restaurant staff to walk us back to the hotel, which was very kind and we would have been totally lost otherwise! It was too cold to swim but the pool area looked nice also. It's in a really good location and we walked to almost all the places we wanted to get to.

We could not have been happier with our stay here. We travel a lot, and the hospitality here was one of the very best we’ve ever had. The two woman at the front desk ( so sorry I can’t remember the names, both began with an M!) were not just very helpful, they were open and genuinely friendly and personable, and nothing was ever any trouble for them. Abdul, who worked the desk and served us breakfast, was also attentive , friendly, and looked out for our comfort . We were welcomed with mint tea and delicious cookies while we waited for our room. The place is beautiful clean and comfortable, with attention to detail that makes a difference. The roof top terrace was a great place to enjoy the sunset, and the massages there were convenient and revitalizing after all the walking around. it also is a quiet, welcome respite after the chaotic city streets. The breakfasts were lovely , with different breads served each day, fresh squeezed juice, fruit cups, various accompaniments, yogurt, and eggs to order. one day there was the most delicious yogurt, flavored with orange blossom water . The location is also perfect too. As others have mentioned, on arrival someone will meet you outside the city walls and walk you to their place, and this was a relief! You will get lost for sure , but I found that when I got over my anxiety the first time, it was an adventure and we loved it. And for us, unlike Fez, there are enough landmarks in Marrakech that you’ll eventually find your way to somewhere you recognize. They arranged a half day tour for us, and we were so glad we did that. The tour guide was wonderful, and full of information about the history, culture, traditions, etc, and it really made our time there much more meaningful. Our time in Marrakech was definitely enhanced by the hospitality and comfort and beauty of the Palais Tara, don’t hesitate to book. Thanks so much, Palais Tara!

Staff treated us more like honoured guests or family rather than paying guests. The rooms are small but the roof top areas are spacious and relaxing. We would sit there and relax with a Moroccan tea, which was always offered free. Then the roof top itself offered lovely views over the Medina and the local mosque and Atlas Mountains.

Our experience at Palais Tara & Spa was magical, and its outstanding hosts made our stay in Marrakesh a truly exceptional one that we’ll never forget! A few of the reasons why we would give Palais Tara & Spa a 1000/10 rating (I wish it were possible because they fully deserve it!). •Since the very first moment we arrived, we were greeted by Sana and Najat with the warmest welcome, and they reassured us that even though check-in was at 2pm (we arrived at 9am) they would have our room ready in record time and even offered us a complimentary breakfast •Sana and Sumaya at the front desk were so lovely, sweet, and incredibly helpful – they managed to book tours and reservations on the spot for some of Marrakesh’s best restaurants and experiences (shout out to our amazing driver Hicham and our outstanding tour-guide Asis!) •Abdul and Abdell greeted us every morning with a huge smile, offering a traditional and delicious breakfast with unlimited Moroccan Mint tea (the best one we had in Marrakesh!) •The property is absolutely stunning, it looks like it could be on the cover of a magazine – with the traditional Moroccan style coupled with state-of-the-art appliances (modern bathroom, strong shower pressure). The rooms are spacious, with A/C, a comfortable bed, and fast wifi (perfect for streaming/taking video calls). •The property has a private Hammam which is so easy to book and an incredible experience I'll never forget! •The location is perfect and so safe at all hours of the day/night, right at the heart of Marrakesh, but close enough (2 minute walk) to the taxis for easy access Wamidh and Najat have the most spectacular oasis in Marrakesh. I couldn’t help but tear up when were leaving because it felt like we were reunited with family that we had not seen in a very long time- and that level of hospitality is something we had never encountered before in our many years of traveling.
