Nice enough
Nice place but thie listing needs updating as only 1 restaurant is operating and the one currently operating is a help yourself buffet of not great quality. The outside pool and pool bar are great The hotel is quite dark with movement activated lighting although much of this does not appear to work and the aircon is not great, we reported this twice but it was not dealt with It a good place to stay out of hectic Marrakech but the description needs updating

Good place if you don't want to spend a lot of money. a little out of the way. My curtain fell down in my room window facing the street. I reported it and it was never fixed, so I just had a room with an open view window. Also the hallways are dark. really dark. Their motion sensors for lighting their hallways are like (literally) on a 20 second timer so while you're walking the hallway, the lights will turn off on you. The carpets were also somewhat dirty.

What can I say? The place looks nicer in the photos than it truly is. The walls are really thin. Heard everyone next door and in the hallway. Also, I saw a small roach scurry away from the dessert section of dinner last night, and ants all over my breakfast table this morning. I don't get grossed out easily, so it doesn't bother me much. But I can see it grossing others out. It's just not as opulent as the photos would suggest.

The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are spacious. The decor is dated and the rooms could use an update. The spa is basic but the treatments are good. Breakfast has lots of options but the overall quality of the experience is just ok. The hotel may be rated as 5 star but it is closer to a 3*. If you are looking for a safe place that will meet your basic needs, this hotel will fit the bill.

Lovely pool, very large and peaceful. Room was spacious and comfortable, staff were very welcoming. Location is ok, however not a lot to see or do within walking distance, however cabs always available and cheap to the old and new town. Great hotel if you are looking for a nice quiet space away from busy main centre. Breakfast good with lots of options. Had a very lovely break and will certainly be recommending this hotel to people in future.

Good, but not 5 star.
Comfortable stay, but not a 5 star hotel. More like a 3 star compared to western standards. Especially areas the food, room/ hotel amenities, and hotel services lack 5 star standards.

This place was lovely, the pool area was immaculate. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the breakfast, I felt it wasn't worth the price tag due to the options. I think that might be a personal preference. The hotel had reasonable currency exchange rate unlike the airport, taxis were always available on demand at anytime. The neighborhood has a mall right next to it with supermarket, shops and restaurants. There's even a barber/salon in the mall. Just so you know the hotel doesn't allow outside food or drinks. However as long as it's in a bag and not exposed as you pass by them in the lobby you should be fine. The only minor incident we had in the area was a guy on a scooter trying to snatch a friend's phone while we were walking to the mall. I think the incident was very rare and isolated so please do not be too alarmed. However be cautious and aware of your surroundings, especially when someone is riding near you on a scooter.

Pleasant and good value.
Pros: -Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Try and get a room overlooking the pool/gardens, rather than the front which overlook the road. -Pool area is large and spacious - it was reasonably empty while we were there and we never struggled to get loungers or anything. -10 minute drive from Medina with free shuttle available (hourly, subject to availability - book in the morning if hotel is busy) -Free wifi available in all areas - this is useful when you don't want to use data (it did mean everyone by the pool was on their phone the whole time!) -Breakfast has good selection, but same every day so after a week it was getting a bit tedious. Cons: -The food choices for lunch were not good - the poolside bar was pretty awful. The hotels location means it is a bit limited in terms of lunch options (we ate in the Medina every evening). -Agdal is adjacent to the runway, so the aircraft are loud and fly right overhead. However this isn't Heathrow, and there were large periods in the day with no noise, with flights typically every few minutes in the morning and evening. No problem at night. -The staff were friendly but generally a bit clueless. Don't bother asking for any practical tips - even simple things such as taxi rates etc as they really don't seem to know. -For security (?) you aren't allowed outside food in the hotel. This is fine, but they tried to stop us taking drinking water in. If you put it in your backpack they dont seem to care.

Close enough to everything
Originally was placed in a room facing the street, which I didn’t mind. But there was no WiFi. When I approached the staff about my issue, they immediately switched me to a room facing the pool, which apparently costs 30% more per night. But WiFi was 100x better. Breakfast was VERY good. I took the full board which included breakfast lunch and dinner. Unfortunately I wasted money because Besides the first night, I only ever ate breakfast. I was always out for the other meals smh. Lesson learned. But you definitely want to take the breakfast. It will fill you for the day and there’s great variety, from the omelette tower outside to the crepe maker as well.... if I had to complain, it was hard to get ice and tuebfridges BARELY keep anything cold.

Shocking service and poor rooms
Items went missing from my room during cleans, reported to manager who just apologised, rooms were sub standard and everything seemed to be falling apart, sink was blocked as was the bidet, said they would fix- I'm back home now thankfully! U can't bring a water bottle into the hotel as you have to buy from the hotel for £10! Small bottle price btw - AVOID!!!

Dear guest, We are sorry to read your review about the Palm Plaza Hotel & Spa. Please, excuse us for the inconvenience you had with the bathroom facilities. However, conerning the bottle of water, you'll face the problem in every hotel as selling food and beverage is part of the raison d'etre of a hotel. Kind regards.

Decent Experience
If you like a cheap stay and don't care about customer service this is the place for you. Overall my stay was decent. I traveled to Morocco with a friend to attend another friend's wedding. After hearing our other friends complain about staying in the Medina, I was happy that we stayed outside the city. The location is convenient and we felt safe. There is also a free shuttle to the Medina. The pool was by far the best part. It was beautiful, quiet, and they provided towels. The staff were close to incompetent. The most helpful person was Slim - the food and beverage manager. He was friendly, attentive, and helped translate for our taxi driver. At check-in the desk gave us room keys to a room that was already occupied. So unfortunately for an elderly woman we walked in and scared her not knowing the room was already occupied. On one occasion I asked the excursion desk what beach tourists usually travel to and she said she didn't know. Then the next day, when booking our camel ride, she showed us brochures for Agadir beach.She went from not knowing to trying to up-sell us. I was given Euros for change in the bar but then the front desk would not exchange them from dirhams. Apparently the hotel bar works separately from the hotel. The room itself was okay although it smelled old. The cleaning services were good. The buffet breakfast was alright.

Nice hotel, close to town
I must say overall it was quite a disappointing stay and i will not be staying here again. the only thing that made the stay great was Slim the most helpful and friendly staff. Speak thank you to Slim for the surprise birthday cake and for making out stay enjoyable. the hotel was a bit run down and there were ant fest in our room and it took staff almost 2 hrs to come sort it out. check was very frustrating as well as the cards were not working, when we went to complain the staff were not very sympathizing even though they did sort another room out. we had to keep going downstairs 4 times in total before a room finally worked for us (room 1281). i avoid this room if possible as there is a water ingress int he bathroom. the Only good thing is that the pool is massive and not at all busy. the breakfast was awful, and no bake beans, no variety and no species in the food. i found this quite disappointing given that the country is known for their species. The chef look baffled when i ask for salt to be added while making the omelet and everyday is the same food. you can tell this hotel is below average because the place was never busy throughout my for nights here. If you just want to place to sleep while exploring Morocco ten this hotel is for you. but if you are looking to actually enjoy the hotel and its facilities then don't bother. Don't even bother with hotel restaurants, you are better walking 2 mins and not 10 mins down the street to almaar's market and buying fast foods.
The pool is always empty

Good bargain for a mystery deal on Expedia
We got a good deal on mystery hotels via Expedia, if not for which we would not have selected the hotel. Check in took a while - booking through Expedia was not immediately recognised immediately at the counter. Room was alright, not much character and the toilet had not been flushed! In so many years of travelling never seen a toilet that had not been flushed from previous use. Pool was nice and pretty, pity we did not have the time to dip in. Buffet was nice and extensive over all apart from the unflushed toilet - not too bad. No hotels or things to do in the vicinity, you will have to catch a taxi and head to the center.
