Riad Emberiza Sahari

The location is perfect. If you want to be on the edge of the Medina chaos (ie: close to everything) but want to feel a world away when you walk through the doors, this is the place for you. The hotel and rooms are AMAZINGLY beautiful. The staff is world class. The breakfasts by the pool were to die for. I cannot say enough about the staff (Younes/Mgr., Oussama, Hamouda, Ilham, and Ahmed). They go above and beyond. I travel a lot and have a high bar when it comes to Customer Service. This team knows what great customer service means. Now some details: -Let them arrange to/from airport transportation. -Let them arrange your special day trips/tours. -If you want beer/alcohol they will take you to Carrefour to get what you need. they will store your beverages in the kitchen fridge. (most restaurants do not offer alcohol). -They will make recommendations on restaurants, and make your reservations for you, based on what you are looking for. The hotel dinners are fabulous too. -Marrakech is a casual city. If you are a westerner, you don't have to worry about your clothes and covering up (unless you are going to a holy site) but be respectful. i.e., Don't wear short shorts. -There are tons of things to do (you can do your own research). Just know that some things need to be arranged ahead of time. The staff can guide you. -The airport is a nightmare. VERY SLOW so plan extra time to get through customs. This is not an understatement. -The call to prayer in the Medina is early - 5:30ish am. You will get used to it, and you will go back to sleep. I sort of liked it. Most importantly, please tip the staff, (Chef, Driver, Mgr., House Keeping). Combined they will ensure that you have an amazing time at their Riad.
