Jaal Riad Resort

服務不錯，對人友好，位置離機場，火車站，老城都不算太選，適合高務，度假。

We come to Marrakech each year for my birthday for some winter sun, and this has to have been the most disappointing and frustrating trip. I think it's the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I have never left a bad review for a hotel, but that's how strongly I feel after paying so much money for this. I'd strongly recommend staying elsewhere. The hotel itself is beautiful and well decorated, but everything else is terrible. Although rated 5 stars on Love Holidays, this hotel is definitely not 5 star. I would give it 2 stars at a push. Unless you're a French speaking guest, who seem to be given more prefential treatment in all aspects. Room: The room decor is lovely and we opted for a garden view room which had a little terrace on the ground floor. However, looking more closely it's dated. The toilet and bathroom are separate, and the toilet could use an update. The walls were stained and toilet seat broken. The bathroom was dusty and always left the room smelling of damp even though we kept it ventilated. The rooms and doors are not soundproof in any way. You can hear everything from a bang and scrape from the room next door to the crickets outside. We even had the pleasure of listening to the lady across the hall vomiting repeatedly in her toilet from the comfort of our beds. Being close to the airport, the hotel is under various flight paths, so be prepared for planes passing overhead during the day and also during the night. Food: All meals were more or less the same, every day. With some food even being re-served at the next meal. For breakfast, I opted for an omelette each day, not to be greeted by a 'Good Morning' or 'Hello' by the chef, but a 'yes?' with a miserable face. Not a great start to the day. Hot drinks are not served at the table or from a self-serve machine, but instead by having to queue in the dining area. And there was never a teaspoon in sight. I had to stir the sugar in my coffee every morning with my fork. Food, although under hot lamps or sitting on electric hobs, was always cold with little variety. The wait staff were always very nice and polite, but there aren't enough of them in the dining area, meaning they are rushing around or you are kept waiting. It felt like guests sitting outside were given priority over guests sitting indoors. Sometimes, we waited 10 mins to be offered water or receive our drinks. The food in the outer bar area was okay, hot and served fast, however only available to all inclusive guests between 3 and 5pm and other guests complained of chicken being served raw. Although we booked into the Moroccan and Italian restaurants during our stay, we cancelled these after hearing terrible reviews about supplementary costs and poor service from other guests. Room Service: Arriving late on the first night, we ordered room service. It took over an hour and although it tasted good, was ice cold. We had room service again to get a break from the repetitive dinner service and ordered the same dishes again

Pros: The hotel’s decor is absolutely stunning, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere that initially sets high expectations. The design and ambiance are impressive, with attention to detail that adds a lot of charm to the place. Housekeeping was also a bright spot—staff were thorough and attentive, ensuring our room was always well-kept and clean. Additionally, the fixed-rate taxis at 50 DHM right outside the hotel were a convenient feature. Cons: Unfortunately, despite being advertised as a 5-star resort, this hotel is far from deserving of such a rating. Based on our experience, it would be generous to give it a 2-star rating at best. Having worked in retail and hospitality for over 20 years and traveled widely both at home and abroad, I can honestly say this was the worst stay I’ve ever had. Service quality was severely lacking, and the clear bias toward French-speaking guests was troubling. Not for light sleepers as there is no sound proofing and the doors don’t block much sound. I didn’t mind the planes taking off but other guests was more of a disturbance. Customer Service Interactions with staff were consistently disappointing. On multiple occasions, we overheard them discussing us in French and Arabic, which felt uncomfortable and highly unprofessional. During check-out, while we were held to the standard 12 PM deadline, we saw a guest next to us allowed a 1 PM check-out without hesitation. When we tried to call reception for assistance, we found the phone line had been muted, and our calls went unanswered for nearly an hour. If the hotel wishes to address these concerns, I’m open to them reaching out directly. Communal Facilities Basic upkeep seemed neglected. Communal bathrooms frequently had blocked toilets, broken locks, and were missing essentials like hand soap. Although comfortable, the loungers by the pool were often broken, giving the impression that the hotel doesn’t prioritize maintenance. Spa The spa was a letdown. Despite using Google Translate to communicate, our appointment was booked for the wrong day, leading us to cancel out of frustration. Additionally, access to the indoor pool came at an extra cost of £25 per hour, which seemed unreasonable for a supposed 5-star hotel. Dining Experience We didn’t dine in the resort’s Italian or Moroccan restaurants, which were supposedly fully booked most nights, though they appeared empty each evening. Guests we spoke with also had little positive to say about their meals. Additionally, the in-room menu was misleading; it offered only a limited selection of dishes included in our stay, with many items carrying extra charges. The main restaurant was a consistent letdown, with food that was repetitive, largely unlabeled, and served cold despite the presence of heating lamps that went unused. Breakfast was especially disappointing—though a sign advertised shakshuka, it was never available, and the omelette chef was openly rude and disengaged. Basic items like spoons were

I booked this hotel for 4 nights for me and my daughter to celebrate her 22nd birthday. Our stay was very nice, hotel is beautiful and clean, room was spacious, typical Moroccan style decor, also clean. We got 2 bottles of water each day, and room was also serviced. We haven’t encountered any rudeness from staff, quite opposite. Breakfast was ok, we opted for omelettes every morning and some pastries. Dinners we had outside of the hotel, apart from one evening when we ate at The Cat. It was delicious meal and service was good too. Taxi is the worst part, make sure you don’t let them drivers to rip you off. As the hotel is a short drive from the airport, you might see some planes departing, it depends what direction is runway set. It has changed twice during our stay, however if takes off are towards the hotel, you might hear a plane as early as 6am. It didn’t bothered us. All in all - very good stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Super Hotel which exceeded expectations. Following a number of hectic days prior to our stay - when it eventually came to being at the Jaal it certainly didn't disappoint. Loved the fact the team listened and acted on what some may seem trivial things, but for others - including ourselves were important - such as toning down any bright direct lights over the external patio dining area .... (Vibe is everything !!!) Ensuring the Gym is open early - (Some love to train early in the morning!!!) all was acted upon and applause to all the team for effort and professionalism. Loved the melodic tunes which induced a Wonderfull 'Vibe' around the pool. Pls. Do Keep It Up as we will, and have - recommended !
