Riad Infinity Sea

My wife and I spent two nights at this riad during our two week tour of Morocco and are at a loss as to why 17 reviewers (out of 388) did not rate it "Excellent". Marco, the host and owner (originally from southeren Switzerland), could not have been more welcoming and is a delightful conversationalist. He has a very interesting background which we'll leave him to tell you about. When we departed, we felt like we were leaving an old friend. The riad is a far cry from the "traditional" riads we'd stayed at elsewhere. I can't imagine the cost and effort involved in the renovation into a modern facility. The central courtyard has a motorized cover to allow in fresh air on fine days and keep out the rain. The spa includes and indoor lap pool. Marco offers a full line of mixed drinks and wine if desired. Our room had a huge king bed with very effective air conditioning and a modern bathroom. The shower was superb. (Although at 6'1" I found the toilet area a bit cramped, but.....) The breakfasts were substantial, with great service. Eggs cooked to order if desired. We also had one dinner there and the food was excellent as was, again, the service. Like most riads in a medina, you can't drive to the front door and must be dropped in a parking lot nearby. But it's only about 100m of walking and Marco's staff is happy to handle the luggage. We really liked this place and would absolutely stay there again when again in Marrakech.
