“
The staff at reception and the waiters etc are lovely friendly people. We were half board and the food was adequate but there was not much variety.
The room was basic although functional and whilst having rustic charm in its apparent Morrocan style, it was not entirely comfortable. It was cold and drafty but having said that we picked a bad week for the weather and that needs to be taken into account. There is little in the way of entertainment and certainly nothing for children. the pool is small but looked clean - sadly not very inviting in November in the rain!
Marrakech is an interesting and vibrant place and well worth a visit. I would recommend a hotel in the centre rather than outside in the Palmeraie district though.
“ Top Tip: Within walking distance is Palmeraie Golf Club which has various restaurants and cuisines to chose from - at a price.

“ Dar Shama is truely a beautiful place, however it is away from the Medina. The gardens are beautiful. I would recommend going if in summer so you can sit by the pool and enjoy the tranquillity. It is not for everyone. The food is not great for a 5* rated hotel, I expected better quality, better food, more flavoursome moroccan dishes. Alcohol is also expensive and can be hard to come by.

“ We enjoyed all the facilities of the hotel but the food was less than three stars. The staff were more than excellent.
“ Top Tip: Marrakesh is not near a beach so we took the hotel car into the city and enjoyed the ambiance hugely.
