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.

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.

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

For our three generation family (12 to 80 years' old), Zyriab was heavenly. The staff couldn't have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating; the food was great with wide variety (salads, tagines etc) and we found eating by the pool quite magical. Eating in the lobby was a bit odd but fine for us, especially on cooler evenings; however the hotel offers flexibility and are happy to serve you in your room as well which we can also recommend. The lack of a specific restaurant is off-set by generous, apartment-style bedrooms with fully equipped kitchens if self catering is your thing. The owners are very personable and want your experience to be home from home, but this isn't like home because its much nicer! The atmosphere is tranquil and relaxing and the beautifully designed gardens are delightful with roses,rosemary-scented hedges, orange, lemon and olive trees, trickling water and a tame resident peacock. There is a stunning pool, a 5-a-side football pitch and a boule court as well as climbing frames for toddlers. A welcome respite from the mayhem of the souk and the dusty Atlas Mountains, a private taxi to Marrakech costs around £30 return and takes 25 minutes - taxi service was very reliable. The rooms are artisan in design (a little rustic) but beds are really comfortable with luxurious linen and there's plenty of hot water. Speaking of water, the spa is a must and you have to try the Hammam treatment - provided you don't mind a bit of physical contact! Grandparents said there massage was the best they've ever had. No wifi in the rooms or by the pool but we loved this as as a break from technology certainly helped us feel revitalised by the end of the week. We are already thinking of rebooking - there is something magical about this place and Morocco - perfect for us.

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!
