RIAD AL KSAR & SPA ^{* * * *}

Superbe petit weekend detente dans ce riad avec mon amie.

Personnel gentil et professionnel , superbe acceuil avec explications d une carte et de nombreuses autres informations.
Riad tres calme, tres propre dans les chambres - nous y avons bien dormi.
Y a un Spa dans l hotel, nous avons fait le hammam ( nettoyage de la peau dans une piece en marbre chaud ) et des massages a l huile d argan chaude - bon rapport qualite prix.
Y a aussi un restaurant sur commande, et aussi un menu snack rapide - on peut manger soit dans le patio central ou sur la grande terrasse au soleil ou a l ombre - meme les petits dejeuners copieux peuvent se prendre en terrasse.

Je recommande ce joli petit riad pour les couples, et meme les familles et les gens celibataires aussi.

Excellent acceuil, bonne localisation dans la medina a cote des principaux sites a visiter, petit dej et repas excellent.
Spa a decouvrir
Petit conseil, reserver votre transfert aeroport aupres de la reception par email, moins complique qu a l aeroport ( on galere a negocier les prix et a trouver l hotel ), tarif interessant de 15-20eur par trajet.

Have spent Christmas time with my wife Janette at Al ksar & Spa - moreover, it was her birthday.

Damien and Olivier, the two guys running this stunning hotel, were fabulous hosts - very cool, very helpful and charming - the team was very professional in overall.

The building itself is a beautifull Riad with a lovely patio ( lots of differents flowers/ bushes and a big palm tree ), a massive roof terrace with lots big trees - there is a lounge and a solarium to take the sun.

Rooms are beautifully fitted and decorated, moroccan bathroom will all local decorated amenities.
Moroccan dinner available by request before 4pm or Maroccan/Internation Snack available till quiet late - a good deal for late arrival as we arrived after 10pm ( you can pre-ordered in advance by mail if needed ).We pre-arranged an airport transfer directly with the hotel (in order to avoid the bargaining with taxi man ) - a driver welcomed and guided us up to the hotel patio ( 17eur per way if i am correct ).
Christmas Party was perfect with great food ( a great mixt of french and moroccan ) and lovely music band - all the others guests did enjoyed the show as well.
Meals during our week stay were excellent ( best one is the lamb tagine with appel and the sweet couscous ) - best tagine are made in the riads according my search online - i do confirm, very tasty tagine.
The morning of Janette`s birthday, Olivier treated her with a special birthday cake breakfast (with candle on top ) on the roof terrace with the team singing the arabic version of Happy Birthday, Olivier offerred her on behalf of the whole team a free hot oil massage . She was very surprised and more than happy - she has been deeply touched.
The Riad do have a Spa area including Moroccan Hamman, Massage and Aesthetic rooms - we ordered a package hamman and massage 60min - was so good and relaxing - a experience to try , a must to do absolutely. According my search online, it is better to use hamman/massage in the riads as they do provide good value and professional treatments, towels bathrobe are cleaned and they use only pure products ( lots of fake argan oil and dirty towels in the famous public establishement registered online and overpriced as in Les bains de Marrakech, les Bains de l Alhambra.... ).
Have been told that 2 swimming pool ( pool or plunge ) will be built shortly - downstair and on the terrace - keep us posted for the opening.
Overall, the Riad Al Ksar & Spa was a a perfect place to stay for a week break.
Hopefully we will come back in the near future,but for sure we will sent relatives and friends and we do recommend a stay at this stunning Riad.
