I recently had the pleasure of staying at Palais Medina Riad Resort, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking architecture, which beautifully blends traditional Moroccan elegance with modern luxury. The atmosphere is serene, making it the perfect getaway for relaxation.
One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of my visit was perfect. They were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile.

Staff is professional and very attentive to serve, although the Hotel amenities and rooms need a fresh up. No iron, no small towels in the room, beside that hotel is quiet and pleasant to stay. Special thanks to the tea-man at the lobby, his smile and the taste of the tea made our day :)

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Far from 5-Star
When you think of a 5-star hotel, you expect quality and good service, but this stay was a huge disappointment. It started well when the male receptionist offered us an upgrade to a larger room, but it only had one “king-size” bed instead of the two doubles we booked. The bed was more like a queen, and we barely slept the first night. He promised to fix it the next day but never did. The second night we had to use the sofa as a bed, and my travel companion slept terribly. We only got a new room on the third night of our four-night stay. The same receptionist was rude and unhelpful throughout.
The hotel is old and worn, especially the bathroom. The bathtub plug didn’t work, the drain was clogged, and water filled up while showering. The hairdryer and safe didn’t work in both rooms. Every night our key cards stopped working, forcing us to go down to the rude night receptionist who acted annoyed to help. He even lied about arranging a new room.
The hotel felt empty and soulless, and the food was mediocre and overpriced. Breakfast was the biggest letdown – I can make a better omelet at home. Overall, nothing about this place felt close to 5 stars. Poor service, broken facilities, bad food, and zero hospitality. Not worth the money – feels more like a 1-star hotel.

It was supposed to be five star but it seems that they are about to sell or have been sold to another company as not much happening in this hotel. The room is old and dated there are coffee cups there but no kettle nor tea bags. The sitting area in the room has lots of brown stains. Bathroom was nice. Pool is great its huge and nice design. What we did not like is the service. We went 30 mins before they close (they closed so early 6pm in Summer time) and wanted to order food but they no longer serve and told us to order in the restaurant. Went there only to be told that they dont serve dinner until another hour. So I thought we will just order room service but they dont want to bring the food at the pool side. Only allowed to eat in the room. Suffice to say we did not enjoy the stay in this hotel.

I was placed in a room with a nonfunctional hvac system, then after showering and getting into bed, called the front desk and learned that they had made a mistake and that I needed to dress and repack my suitcase to be moved at 10:45 pm.
After a meal of salad and shrimp in the hotel restaurant, I became violently ill with severe food poisoning. The manager came to my room and they were were about to take me to an area hospital.
Once I recovered, I asked to speak with the manager in the lobby and was told that he was unavailable and that he would call me. He never did.

Don’t Recommend
Not so good. Pool closed. Confused restaurant staff. Spa dark and pungent. Most frustrating was the concierge desk. We asked them to book a taxi to the station- we were quoted 300 MHD pay in advance. We protested and eventually got the desk to call a cab from the street. Actual cost 20MHD (yes twenty)

we extended our stay due to itinerary changes, overall experience with that process was great. however, despite upgraded room, some essentials features were not up to par: many non functioning outlets and weird light switch placement. pool ceramic and hallway carpets require make over. only one out four restaurants opened during Ramadan and No Alcohol policy should have been communicated earlier.

Previously stayed here before but declined since in standard. Check in took over an hour due to inability to process a CC from another country. Rooms required daily asks for items such as towels. Shower leaked whenever used causing dangerous conditions. Sink basin fell hitting foot one morning. 5star maybe once, but not anymore!
