Las Palmeras

We are currently staying at this wonderful family run guesthouse as a couple. The architecture, rooms and gardens are exquisite! The hosts are fantastic and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as they can and are always ready to advise and answer questions about the area. We are staying on a bed & breakfast option. The breakfast is lovely and consists of croissants, breads and crepes with a choice of conserves and soft cheese. These are deliciously fresh and the service is impeccable. Coffee, teas, fresh juice and mineral water is available at breakfast. Cold drinks such as mineral water, pop and juice are available to purchase at the guest house along with hot beverages. The bedrooms are lovely and our room consisted of a large comfortable bed along with plenty of storage for your clothes and personal belongings in the beautiful wooden storage cupboards. There is a magnificent dressing table with a mirror. The furniture is traditionally beautiful! The floor is tiled which is cool under your feet during the hot weather. The bathroom consisted of toilet, bath with shower and biday. Two double towels and shower/bath cream were provided. The bedroom has an air conditioning unit which works perfectly! The outside porch was a wonderful surprise! There is a lovely sized pool which is cleaned daily and also a jacuzzi which is fabulous! There is always a member of staff cleaning and maintaining the property. In the large garden there are shaded seating areas and comfortable sun loungers protected by sun umbrellas. The garden also has several table and chairs, again with sun umbrellas. The garden has a large marquee which is wonderfully coloured in deep purple and green colours. Traditional coffee tables in the marquee makes it a lovely place to relax. We have seen couples and families with children enjoying the facilities. There is an area for children in the garden which has a playhouse, swings and small slide. All in a safe environment. The garden is truly wonderful with beautiful plants and trees and the flowers are amazingly colourful. We wake up to the sound of birds and retire to the sounds of bird song. Absolutely beautiful. We have seen tortoise and a peacock come and go to the garden. We used a bus from outside the property gates which took us in to Marrakech town priced at 10 dirham per person each way which is incredibly inexpensive! The driver was great and had someone else with him who was at hand to make sure that everyone was seated or standing comfortably and safely and that the bus was not over crowded. The journey in to the centre of Marrakech takes approximately 25mins depending on how many drop offs and pick ups there are. The bus runs every twenty minutes and the return pick up is a little further up from the Souk. Las Palmeras is indeed a hidden gem! The perfect place to retreat, relax and rejuvenate. I have been able to meditate in the property and in the garden. The owners and staff work incredibly hard and are truly dedicated hosts that ensure that each guest has a tranquil stay. We have fallen in love with Las Palmeras and feel so humbled that we have found this little piece of Paradise. Thank you everyone at Las Palmeras for making our stay an unforgettable experience!
