Morocco Yoga Vacations

I am so glad we chose Dar les Cigognes for our four night stay in Marakech. We loved everything about it. The riad itself is so beautiful; peaceful, restful and cool. The roof terasse is a wonderful place to relax and take coffee and meals. The rooms are very well equipped with lovely big, comfy beds. The locationis perfect, just outside the city walls, with every attraction within easy walking distance. Special mention goes to the staff:Hayst, the Manager, and Hajiba the Concierge are so warm and welcoming and genuinely enjoy making sure that your stay in Marakech is a delightful as possible. They are supremely knowledgable about all thr local attractions and will arrange cars or taxis for any and all necessary transfers or excursions. Our waiter was Abdo and he was soattentive and caring and sweet. Which brings me to the food: it really is the best we found in Marakech - honestly I would recommend esting exclusively at the riad, as the quality and setting is unsurpassed in the city. My wife and I also enjoyed a vigorous and rejuvenating hammam bath, expertly applied by Amina, who was as lovely as all the team in the riad. I have travelled very extensively over decades and can honestly say I have never enjoyed a property and hospitality so much as I have here - if you are planning a stsy in Marakech you MUST stay at Dar les Cigognes.

excellent hotel (clean , class et excellent service ) . the only and i would say the big glitch is the parking of the hotel resident is shared the casino customer and night club ... the audience are in party mood and drunk .. we had a surprise : Our car was wrecked by a guest of another guest who was likely intoxicated. Our first night was disrupted; we were woken up at 4:30 a.m. and asked to come down to the parking area... we didn't get back to sleep until a few hours later. The way the parking is managed is shocking—especially for a luxury hotel costing $800 a night. We ended up with a sleepless night and thousands of dollars in damages... truly disappointing. The worst part is that they are aware of this and it happens often...

Extremely disappointing and stressful experience. We travelled from London with our 3 young children aged 3, 5 and 6. Our Expedia booking was incorrectly generated showing only 2 adults, with all 3 children missing. We only discovered this on arrival. Reception initially told us it would cost around £1,200 extra to add the children. I reluctantly agreed, but was then suddenly told we had to pay around £2,500 extra because 5 people required 2 rooms. We had already paid around £2,100, so our 7-night stay ended up costing approximately £4,500. Our youngest is only 3 and sleeps in a cot, so a second room was of little practical use to our family. I explained that I couldn't immediately arrange such a large unexpected payment and asked to pay the next day. I also asked if my wife and exhausted children could go to the room while I arranged the money, but this was refused. I felt extremely vulnerable and had little practical choice but to find the money immediately. For around £4,500, the hotel was nowhere near the standard we expected. The food was very disappointing and tasted horrible, to the point that we regularly ate outside despite having already paid for the hotel. We also found hair in the food, experienced ants, unpleasant bathroom/toilet smells and cleanliness issues. What should have been an enjoyable family holiday became extremely expensive, stressful and upsetting. I have formally disputed the booking error and additional charges.

Stayed in better all inclusive hotels

Great hotel and the experience was excellent. I highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay! Great location, super friendly staff and beautifully designed interior. Comfortable bedding too. Hope to be back!
