Es Saadi Resort Hotel, Marrakech
Expert reviews
“The white-on-white lobby at retro retreat Es Saadi feels opulent rather than minimal; it’s both a little kitschy and throwback glamorous. Think of it as a primer for the rest of this swank and storied complex, set just beyond the medina.”

The rooms have air conditioners, furnished lavishly and are carefully brightened. They provide a gallery with either the poolside view or the surrounding area. All the rooms include a minibar, a television and free Wi-Fi. Suites and bungalows at the poolside are also included.
A buffet breakfast is served every day and guests can even request it to be served in the room. The four restaurants offer French and Moroccan gourmet food which is prepared using all-natural and local ingredients.

The spa offers many facilities such as hammam, massages and sauna. Besides this, a tennis court and gym are also available for the visitors. They can even request for a shuttle service. Other facilities include a bar, a club, an on-site shop and The TheatrO.

Questionable 5 star property.
the pool was great. big enough to swim a few lengths.
For some reason some guests were treated like royalty and when they wanted the service of the staff you can forget about your needs as it was like you are invisible. happened a couple of times during breakfast. The room service waiter was very rude to us all because we didn’t want to get conned into buying something that his friend would have to leave the hotel to get for us and we said no. For a 5 star hotel I felt there are areas in the property that could do with a freshen up. The room and en-suite looked very tired . The room cleaner was lovely and we left a large tip for her as it was deserved.

The swimming pool and outdoor area is bigger than expected and the international breakfast has a large variety of dishes.
WiFi wasn't working properly everywhere, check in was very slow, difficult to pay by card.

lovely hotel, that was great value for money but slow service for food/drinks
the room was excellent- we had a corner suite with an extra lounge room, amazing views, and a large balcony with great views
the service was very slow in the bars and restaurants. the staff were friendly and helpful…it just took a long time to get their attention

A really good trip for my family of 5/
Service was exceptional across the resort - great guidance on where to visit, booking dinner. Breakfast area was great every morning, lunch by the pool was great. The location is easy to get into town and they made a great effort to find taxi's for us that helped us get to new areas.
No comments from me.

Great Location, value for money, service, staff and their attentiveness. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a cake and flowers in the room. In my 5 days stay they all knew my name. Breakfast had good options, mustafa is amazing and made sure everyone not only me is happy and well frd. and room service menu is good too. Everyone is helpful and everyone smiles, you can even hear the room service lady, salima, smile through the phone.
The rooms are a bit "tired", if your room is facing the street all you can hear is horse carriages and speeding cars.
