Best holiday in years!
Every aspect of this trip was amazing. We were group of 18, arriving and leaving on various different flights on different days. Before we travelled, Saâdia and Jean-Marc were easy to contact and we pre-arranged all the airport collections. The holiday was to celebrate my 40th birthday and my friends also liaised directly with Saâdia and Jean-Marc to arrange my birthday lunch.
The riad itself is spectacular - rooms were a good size, all with ensuite and there's so much room for relaxing, whether it's by the pool, in the house or in the gardens. We were a lot of people but it never felt crowded. All the bedrooms open onto the pool which made for a great vibe as we all came and went, crossing paths while doing our own thing.
Bouchra was AMAZING! I highly recommend paying for her cooking services - it's an absolute bargain for the quality she provides. Her food was delicious and she managed to house to an exceptional standard. The whole stay was so relaxing because she was on top of everything. Before we'd even thought about lunch or dinner, she was setting up and calling us to the table. Bouchra arranged taxis on several days with our regular driver Rascid and he in turn booked additional drivers when there was a larger group travelling and also arranged for the hammam to be available for us and several of us had a body scrub and massage.
I've given location 3 stars simply because this riad is outside Marrakech centre. It's a 25 minute drive into town which is no problem at all and with a large group was very affordable to take taxis. If you want to be walking distance to the medina, this isn't the riad for you but if you want to relax by the pool, be treated to delicious cooking and looked after by an incredible group of staff, you won't find anywhere better than Riad Souiguia.
