"What an absolute heaven of peace and tranquility! My husband and I treated ourselves to five days of complete bliss after a busy itinerary travelling around Morocco. We had stayed in beautiful riads right in the medina in other cities so decided that a quiet place outside Marrakesh with beautiful gardens, a pool and views of the Atlas mountains would fit the bill. Not only did Palais Amador fit those criteria it surpassed them many times over!
We enjoyed breakfast and four dinners in the restaurant and found the menu varied and catering for all tastes as it included all the Moroccan favourites as well as international dishes (pastas, paella) if you fancied a change.
As for chilling, we enjoyed lovely after-breakfast walks in the extensive beautiful gardens (watch out for the turtles!), swimming and all-day sunbathing by the stunning pool (still a bit refreshing in April but lovely once you were in!), lots of sun-loungers to choose from, and a wonderful couple’s massage in the spa. Unfortunately we never got around to trying the beautiful hammam. And if you feel like retail therapy, you can even browse a reasonably priced selection of lovely souvenirs in the little boutique!
Last but definitely not least, there are the owners and staff. While Palais Amador is beautiful in every way, it is them that make the place the blissful, luxurious haven it is. Amira, Zach and his mum Maria are one in a million – lovely, kind, multi-lingual and the perfect hosts - we will be back!"
