Very comfortable and lovely self catering units which are serviced daily. Beautiful gardens with lots of orange trees. In season you can have a feast with oranges. Serviced daily, but strangely, they do do not do the dishes for you. There is also a restaurant where you can enjoy traditional Moroccan food. Very friendly staff. The downside, it is out of the way. About thirty minutes drive to the city centre, with no public transport and no shops nearby to buy basic amenities. The shuttle service charges 30 euros per trip.

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.

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

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.

We (4) stayed here for one week. Very nice place, beautiful garden and friendly people. Only negative is that you need to take a car to Marrakech. However this is well organized by the reception. They will drop you of and pick you up as desired. It will cost you about $20 per day per car but a place like this would cost much more directly in Marrakech. You are really not losing any money on transportation. You can have a breakfast or dinner at this hotel but since the apartment comes with an equipped kitchen we made our breakfast most of the time. and had it poolside. Importantly, hotel sells water, wine and beer. Kitchen does not have a dishwasher or a drying rack for dishes which is a disadvantage. Staff cleans the apartment daily but not the dishes. In general, if you do not mind the drive, this place is a winner.

I cannot praise this hotel enough - we had a brilliant long weekend.We were 5 girls, having our first girls holiday and chose Les Jardins de Zyriab because we wanted to somewhere safe and secure.The hotel's communication before arrival was excellent, they advised on everything from transfers to currency. Our flight was late but the hotel organised a taxi from us, and the driver, Abdul, waited for us the whole time. We arrived late into the night, but they still made dinner and served it in our villa. Perfect start to the trip.Really comfortable villas with kitchenette, living room area, comfy bedrooms, good bathrooms, everything is clean. Beautiful (albeit cold!) swimming pool - we spent our Saturday having breakfast poolside and sunbathing. Food is good, perhaps a little limited, but we enjoyed it during our 3 night stay. There is no restaurant as such, tables are made up in the reception area. But it didn't bother us as the dining table in the villa meant we could eat in our PJs at night time!We organised a trip through the hotel to into the city centre - we were given the most lovely guide called Mohammed, who was full of information, advice, stories and jokes. We felt so safe in his company and he went the extra mile - buying me a Moroccan blanket when I was out of money, and trusting me to repay him when I got back to the hotel, and helping us haggle for tagine pots. Once again, Abdul drove us around, and waited for us while we went sightseeing.We LOVED IT.

We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The staff were superb and seemed committed to our satisfaction and always willing to help. The apartment was large and clean, with a kitchenette and satellite TV. The property is about a 15-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of the Medina, and a quiet and welcome relief after a day exploring all the wonders of Marrakech.
