Scene
Kid-friendly property features manicured lawns, outdoor lagoon pools, and leisure facilities
Marrakech Ryads Parc & Spa is on a large
property with 13 riads that includes manicured lawns, fountain-filled
courtyards, and paved pathways. The location is slightly isolated from the
Marrakech attractions, but the hotel offers a shuttle (for a fee) that drops
guests off outside the city center. The sprawling property, expansive sports
facilities, and outdoor pools appeal to both couples and families. There are wide
open areas for kids to play and the two lagoon pools -- lined with palm trees
-- feel like a beach with a faux sandy shore. The deck is furnished with lots
of white plastic lounge chairs and umbrellas, with a children's pool and shower nearby.
Gazebos on the lawns are outfitted with patio furniture.The hotel’s sports
facilities are well-equipped with three covered pétanque courts, a slightly weathered basketball
court, a sandy volleyball court, and a terrace with table tennis. The gym
features wood flooring and modern equipment.
Location
On the outskirts of Marrakech, though a short drive to many attractions
The hotel is situated on the fringes of
Marrakech in rural surroundings somewhat removed from the area’s medina, which
is about 14 minutes south by car. (A shuttle provided by the property takes guests to the city center for a fee.) Palmeraie Golf Palace is a mere three-minute drive
east, while other attractions like the Jemaa el Fna, Souk Kafé, Palais
de la Bahia, Marrakech Museum, and Saadiens Tombs are all less than 20 minutes
away by car. It's a 20-minute drive south to Marrakech Menara Airport.
