Hotel & Ryads Barriére Le Naoura

We had an absolutely incredible time here! The location was great amd super close to the souks but not loud and the hotel so beautiful. Lots of fruit trees and sun loungers to enjoy the winter sun. The best thing about the hotel has to be the restaurant staff. So friendly, so helpful and such a joy to be around. This hotel definitely deserves more awards! The only thing to improve would be to allow heating in the rooms as they can get a bit cold, but nothing that wearing a hoodie can’t fix. Absolutely will be coming back here!

First impressions of the hotel were really good and the staff are all very polite and lovely. As we arrived after the restaurant had closed they kept it open for us with a small selection available to be able to eat after a long journey, which was nice. The sunbeds are a bone of contention. The hotel states that you cannot reserve beds and anyone that does will have their towels removed. This doesn't happen, so if you want a bed by the pool be prepared to get up early or wait for something to become available. Having said that, as long as you don't mind not being by the pool there are beautiful gardens that have lots of loungers dotted around the place. The food was disappointing there was no cohesion to the dishes being put together and on themed nights, the food was quite bizarre. We had a seafood night but there were only 3 dishes on offer! Fried fish (which was there every day anyway), salmon and a seafood stew, which was only luke warm. The chefs dish of the day was braised beef and mash potatoes, on seafood night....! They say the sheets are changed once per week but ours weren't, so we had to request they be changed after 9 days. I personally wouldn't go back to this hotel, and even people that had been going there for years said this is the worst it's been.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at TUl Blue Medina Gardens! The food was fantastic, the taff were super professional and friendly, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. A special mention to the entertainment team, especially Black, who truly made our stay unforgettable! Without him, it wouldn' have been the same. We came here for our honeymoon and had the best time ever. We'll definitely be coming back, and honestly, more young people should visit this resort because it's such a great place to relax and have fun!

We stayed here from 17/10 to 24/10 and became poorly after 2 days, having not left the hotel at all for the first 48 hours. We asked at reception whether anyone else had reported sickness or diarrhoea and were told they hadn’t - but the latest reviews suggest otherwise! And we overheard other guests towards the end of our stay, who we believe were also struggling. We had to leave the hotel on our third day in order to seek medical advice and although this did help, it didn’t resolve the issue or discomfort. From the 3rd day onwards we only drank bottled water, didn’t drink water from the water machine, asked for no ice in our drinks and ate pretty blandly from the restaurant - not what you want on your holiday! Aside from the sickness and diarrhoea, the hotel itself is lovely and is in a great location - not far from the airport or the Medina, yet you can barely hear the hustle and bustle in the tranquil gardens. The large pool is cold, with the quiet pool slightly warmer, but both have plenty of sunbeds around them and lots of sun beds in the gardens too which are lovely. The hotel does not have enough pool towels for every guest to have a clean towel every day, which we found out the hard way and had to wait until after 2pm for a new towel after handing a dirty one in the previous day. As with most all inclusives, the food becomes repetitive but there was always choice and a different theme every night. The room was of a good standard, although a couple of basics are missing (eg there is only one hook in the whole room, so not enough to hang your towels or jackets, yet they’d like you to reuse your shower towels?). The housekeeping team did keep everything pretty spotless.

First trip to Morocco, had the most amazing 10 days. The hotel was beautiful and the house keeping was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was great. The bar staff especially Hanna, who was always making sure we had drinks and loved a chat! Okey-dokey is a great asset to the team as well :)
