The Riyad is in the outskirts of Marakesh, it is self contained, with ornate gardens, pine, olive, mango and lemon trees and excellent decor.

It has outdoor swimming pool and Jaccuzi; spa facilities are available on request.

The hosts are very hospitable and served us very good quality food.The rooms are nice, comfortable and well serviced.

It is ideal for prople who want a few days out of the bustle of the city and relax.

The manager was very kind to organise transportation for all the outdoor activitiies we needed to do.

If you are happy to pay the extra bit for the transportation, this is the ideal place to be in.

We really enjoyed the stay.

The hotel and room were absolutely beautiful, and the staff were very patient and accommodating. Every corner of the Riad was so picturesque! You get to enjoy the quiet of Marrakesh, which is super serene and calm.

The hotel also connected us with a taxi/driver who drove us for all 5 days and this made the trip so seamless.

Brilliant property just outside of Marrakesh, nice clear with great pool and Hammam facilities.
Things i like: Properly in general, top notch. Clean and immaculate. Rooms are great.

Its not a Resort or a hotel but a Riyad. Some things i missed was a tea kettle in room, i wish i had one.
Also if you are planning to make frequent trips to Marrakesh town then its an additional expense.

Despite that i would stay on this on ky next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Catherine and Alain were perfect hosts.
We were half board but also often opted for lunch served by the pool.
Meals were fixed menu but simple and delicious. Each day something completely different.
Out of town location was just what we wanted. Fabulous vies of the Atlas mountains from our balcony overlooking the gardens and pool.
We hope to return next time we need some R&R.

Peaceful retreat but very remote

Lovey setting with very nice rooms. Great pool and gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Two downsides from our perspective - miles from anywhere - u have to call taxi to go out. Food was not very good - we had to complain a couple of times about the quality and portion size. If u spend the day relaxing there u have no other options for lunch.

Great hotel would definitely go back. It's a great place if you are looking for a mixture of relaxation and activity as you are in between the city and Atlas Mountains. The staff and owners are very helpful and friendly, they even organised great excursions on request. The rooms are lovely and you can walk straight out from the ground floor rooms to the pool area which was fantastic. The food was great as well. You also get great views from the roof terrace of the mountains and sunset while having dinner. Overall an excellent hotel combines old school charm and hospitality with all the advantages and modern conveniences of a great hotel.

Fantastic week away!!

Just come back from Riad Al Mendili and already wish I was back there. What a little gem in Marrakech. My husband and I stayed here for a week, leaving our elder children at home, wanting a quiet stress free time, and that is exactly what we got.

I must say how fantastic the staff are here and attend your every need. Catherine & Alain are the perfect hosts.

The setting, surroundings, room, pool, food, spa, were all first class. We went into the Medina during the day and during the night and what an experience.

Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away for a break and we will definitely be returning.

Wonderful relaxing break.

We chose the Riad Al Mendili from previous reviews & were not disappointed. You will get warm welcome from the french owners, the staff are courteous & helpful, our room was very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. There are plenty of places to sit and relax. Lots of comfortable seating areas in the Riad, a lovely roof terrace, well kept gardens. There is a good size swimming pool which is unheated. Half is shallow so I imagine it heats up quickly in warmer weather. There is also an outdoor Jacuzzi. We both had massages in the Spa which were excellent & reasonably priced. The Al Mendili is in an isolated location so we were glad to have pre-booked a taxi from the airport & half board. There is no menu but the cook did her very best to accommodate our dietary needs - 1 veggie, 1 gluten free. The food was fresh & tasty.

A tranquil idyll and a real \"find\"

We were met with mint tea and a very friendly welcome by the charming proprietors and from the very first moments began to talk of how soon we could come back. In addition to the marvellous setting and gardens, the attention to detail in the décor, the staffs' attitudes and cleanliness made this small hotel an absolute delight.
With so many sweet little seating areas and terraces it was always possible to find a private, luxurious corner to relax and enjoy the views of the Atlas mountains.
We ate each night on the roof terrace, watching palm trees silhouetted in the sunset and enjoying the French influenced Moroccan food/ Moroccan influenced French food. There was no menu, no choice of dish but that was absolutely fine by both of us: we had been asked upon arrival, even before we knew if we would eat there, if we had any allergies or dislikes. The food was excellent, although more akin to UK hotel prices than our meals in the city.
We each had 2 spa treatments & the spa which was clean, discreet and with very high calibre staff and products. Very enjoyable.

A beautiful oasis of tranquility

A long weekend in a beautiful setting. The Riad was stunning in it's decor and design and Claire, the niece of the French owners, was in charge this summer and could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with air conditioning, balcony and shutters. The pool was clean and the gardens are beautifully tended. The double sunbeds are excellent with deep cushions and clean towels and umbrella. Plenty of room so you do not have to sit close to the handful of guests staying at one time. The breakfast was Moroccan in style, a perfect amount and good! Lunch and dinner were also tasty and personalised according to what we wanted. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Amazing place for relaxation

This hotel is based just outside of Marrakech, a reasonable distance, to enable you to completely relax away from the craziness that is the Medina and main square. This is a beautify hotel, the team working there, from Claire the manager to the ladies that serve breakfast to Mossin who waits the tables at lunch and dinner, to the young lad that dutifully tends the gardens every morning, can not do enough to make your stay as relaxed and amazing as you want. The food breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all amazing and some of the best food we ate in Morocco whilst we were there. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would defiantly return for a short break. The Riad is beautifully set in its oasis of green, and don't be afraid of the dirt track to get there, you will not be disappointed, the pictures do not do it justice.

Outstanding destination for a relaxing break

My partner and I had a truly wonderful six day break at Al Mendili, who's facilities and staff were outstanding. The Riad is set in a beautiful area roughly 30 minutes from the old town of Marrakech. On our first night we were treated to a personal room for dinner in a very romantic private room which felt like we were in our own Arabic Palace. The food throughout our stay was of excellent quality and the staff were of similar standard.

The owners were very attentive without being intrusive which has obviously been passed on to the staff as well.

On the whole we both had a fantastic, relaxing break in a beautiful location whilst being taken care of by highly trained exceptional staff which not least of all includes the chef!!

This hotel has got everything you need for a great holiday. The moment you walk through the door you are greeted by Vanessa and Manu (the owners) with some mint tea and a hot flannel. The hotel is very intimate and beautifully decorated. All rooms face the pool and have a view of the Atlas mountains. Breakfast is superb and different every morning. If you have dinner at the hotel you can eat where ever you like, e.g. beside the pool, on the roof terrace or in the \"Snug\". The staff are all very friendly and really look after you. Manu can arrange anything you want, taxis, trips, book restaurants etc. If you want to relax and be pampered then is the place to visit.

Morroccan Paradise

This boutique hotel is a small coner of paradise in Marrakech. Situated approx. 40 mins drive from the airport, once you have entered the calm and serene walls of the beautiflly tended garden, you will not want to leave... I certainly didn't and I love to barter in the bazzars with the best of them. Vanessa, her husband all the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home while at the same time not being intrusive if you just want to relax quietly. They have sucessfully managed to keep the balance between luxury and personality here. In terms of what the hotel looks like....wow! the attention to detail is exquisite. From the spa to the bedrooms, bathrooms and my favourite moroccan knook where I had most of my dinners,it all has to be seen to be believed. Traditional morroccan food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and olive oil from the trees that surround the kasbah. I could go on and on.. Believe the hype it is fantastic........

A very memorable beautiful stay

We had a terrible time in Marrakech and found this Riad to stay in immediately. It was perfect! We stayed for 3 nights. The property is simply wonderful. It made our next couple of days very memorable. The staff were extremely accommodating and the owner of the property was always present to welcome guests everyday; even during breakfast and dinners. Food was great and so were the wines.

We were recommended by the owner to visit the mountains, to see the berbere villages which added such a great impression for us. He helped organize the visit with his contact on the day itself.

I will highly recommend this property as it has a homely feeling and alot of comfort.

Etant seul, nous avons mangé a coté de la cheminée ce qui était très romantique.
Cuisine parfaite et très variée avec beaucoup de légumes et un tajine merveilleux.
Bon conseil du propriétaire pour un guide + chauffeur pour visiter Marrakech une après-midi qui fut très agréable avec une visite du souk en profondeur.
Seule ombre au tableau, notre suite insuffisamment chauffée à notre arrivée et un lit glacé, dommage, mais à ce niveau de standing anormal
