Okay - this property is out of town, but you would not find a small, personal 21 room resort with such a huge pool, such glorious gardens and such tranquillity in town. For us, it worked out well. To walk through the entry and see the snow-topped High Atlas Mountains as a backdrop to the lush gardens is amazing. Fruit trees and trimmed rosemary hedges feature, along with a one-legged peacock that flies in each day to partake of an al fresco breakfast with you. We were upgraded to a two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms simply because during our week, the place was not full. Staff are attentive and engaging. While the breakfast is quite stunning, dinners were a disappointment for us. Being out of town, we had booked private guided tours, so the distance from the Medina didn't really matter. Think about what type of accommodation and holiday you are after before booking, but, equally, if you have not looked beyond the city itself, have a good look at this property - it may be exactly what you need.

What a great place to stay . Fantastic rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Food is great too. Would definitely go back. Convenient to downtown Marrakesh.Love...

We chose this hotel for being just outside Marrakech to escape to a lovely pool and spa. We were very well received by the owner. Our apartment was wonderful and so close to the stunning pool area. We had arranged by email daily outings to Marrakech and The 3 Valleys and camel rides. The staff were very helpful. We had a very good driver and guide - also arranged through the reception. We had delicious food which was served by the pool area. The table was beautifully prepared with rose petals on it. All the staff were so helpful. The garden is stunning. There was a marvellous smell of roses and rosemary as you walk to the main reception. Wifi is only in the reception area - but it really isn't a problem. We enjoyed sitting just outside with the view to the pool or inside in air conditioned reception.We had a wonderful massage and Hamman at the spa.We wanted to experience Marrakech but retreat to a lovely hotel (20 minute drive away) ... we had exactly what we wanted. Lovely owners, welcoming and an excellent standard of hotel. Perfect.

We stayed in this lovely property for 2 weeks in August and we couldn’t be more pleased with our choice. The staff and the owners did their very best to make us feel so welcomed and making sure we felt like being in our second home. We could always rely on a good and useful advice, big smiles any time of the day and any requests were promptly attended to. The property is located a few kilometres away from a busy Médina which was nice and works to your advantage, especially when visiting in the summer or during bank holidays or religious events in Morocco. There is well organised taxi transport at a cost of around £25 for a return trip so you are easily linked with the centre. Apartments provide all the basics you need and the food accompanied by tasty Moroccan wine offered by the restaurant, which you can have it served nearly anywhere you wish within the property is fantastic! Having traveled the world and staying in various hotels, often very luxurious I really appreciate hospitality of les jardins de zyriab, organising a beautiful surprise for our wedding anniversary and making sure our stay in Morocco was unforgettable and wanting us to go back. Big thank you to Sofiya, very generous Idris and lovely Fatma!

Warmly welcomed by the owners Sofia and Driss, the moment we stepped inside the doors. It was clearly important to everyone there that we felt 'at home'. Excellent Senior Suite on the ground floor with its own outside area and great views of the gardens and the pool. Everything is arranged to allow maximum benefit no matter which Suite you are in. Everything was as promised on the website and any additional requests were promptly fulfilled. Averaged 38C to 40C during our fortnight and the Suite was cool, with the addition of air conditioning if required. Everything was very clean and well looked after, from equipment to towels and bed linen. Suite was plenty big enough for four people and those in the 'second' room had the same facilities including private bathroom, as those in the master bedroom. Located about 20 minute taxi/car ride from the centre of Marrakech, the location was perfect and we looked forward to returning each time we left the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and its wonderfully colourful, buzzing Medina. Tranquil surroundings, both garden and pool, with a great view of the Atlas Mountains. The gardens are exceptionally well looked after and walking amongst the rosemary hedges was wonderful.Whilst no formal restaurant on site, the kitchen has a good menu and we enjoyed meals in both our Suite and by the pool. Excellent food and attention to detail made for a good dining experience, usually in the quite of the warm evening but also as recommended elsewhere, by the pool for a Moroccan breakfast. We did a lot of self catering and there is a good Carrefour within about 10 minutes drive, conveniently situated on the main road out of the town back to hotel.Everyone we encountered made us feel valued and were only too willing to do all they could for us, from groundsmen to cleaners Special mention must be made of Hakima, Imame and Ismail who did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and who were always willing to listen to our daily adventures, as well as helping when we needed advice about places, or bookings for things. There is no doubt they added to our overall experience.Although wifi was only available in the reception and seating area, this was never a problem and we found that our early morning cup of tea could be enjoyed in comfy chairs while we surfed the net when necessary. Hotel website is only in French which with our lack of other languages, made it a little more difficult to check everything out before we booked, but a good translator program dealt with that along with the reviews and photos from other travellers on TripAdvisor and another well known website. We also found the hotel staff were very good at answering emails and dealing with any early enquiries we had.Thank you to each and everyone who made our visit so enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

Best kept secret in Morocco, nice place to relax and enjoy the swimming pool and quietness However the highlight of this place it's the amazing staff and owners, never seen a service as such, from the moment we arrived, they made us feel very special, can't see myself skipping this resort while in Marrakech, this should be an example to all hotels and resorts that aspire to provide the best possible stay to their guests

My husband and I spent 8 days here and found it extremely pleasant. He was working on book-writing with colleagues, and I was vacationing. The physical surroundings are lovely and comfortable. The warm, multilingual staff all bent over backwards to accommodate our every need. This included arranging (at additional cost) two personalized excursions for me with a driver and private guide, both of which I enjoyed immensely. As we visited off-season, we found the property serene. I loved the decor, gardens, chance for a little outdoor sport, and plenty of cozy nooks in which to read. From an American perspective, this hotel is a fantastic value for the price.
