Aqua Mirage Club & Aqua Parc - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"Pros: Delicious, fresh, & very varied food with plenty of options every and all day. The hotel itself is huge, clean, and well maintained, with nice and comfortable rooms. The facilities are excellent, offering lots of activities including tennis courts, mini golf, beach volleyball, yoga, swimming, a big aqua park & more. The housekeeping and restaurant staff were especially friendly and provided great hospitality throughout our stay.
Cons: You have to pay a 200 dirham (£20) deposit per person just to borrow a single piece of sports equipment like a racket or ball, which felt unnecessary and excessive. The gym is extremely outdated, with most of the machines out of service. There was also no WiFi in the restaurant or gym, making it difficult to contact each other or even listen to music.
The entertainment on the first night was disappointing, mainly hotel staff dancing, although the shows improved on later nights when outside performers were brought in.
While most staff were friendly, some of the reception and shuttle staff came across as arrogant and unhelpful at times, especially when trying to push paid shuttle services.
The free shuttle service was also poorly organised. There were only two free shuttles available and they filled up very quickly. The timings were inconvenient as well, with one at 12:30 PM during extreme heat and the other at 11:30 PM, which was far too late for most guests. It often felt more focused on selling paid shuttles than guest convenience.

"My friends and I recently stayed at this riad during our trip to Marrakech, and we had an amazing experience. The location was perfect as it was right in the middle of the Medina and only a short walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa. The area was always lively with beautiful souks, markets, and so much to explore right outside the riad.
The riad itself was stunning, traditional, cozy, and beautifully designed. We especially loved the pool area and seating spaces, which had a relaxing vibe. The rooms were comfortable, breakfast every morning was delicious with different options each day, and the breakfast area was beautiful as well.
What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. During the trip, I injured my leg, and the staff were so caring and supportive. Some even refused tips, which showed how genuine they were.
A special thank you to Ali, Abdulghani, and Majid, as well as the taxi drivers and all the workers who made our stay so memorable.
The riad and location were amazing, but the people truly made the experience special. We would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting Marrakech!"
"This riad was a complete gem within the Medina! The staff was over the top wonderful (shoutout to Said who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome). The included breakfast is wonderful, the location is great because it is slightly more quiet while still being right in the middle of things. Highly recommend."
"Wonderful stay. Hotel was amazing very modern the staff couldn’t do enough for you. The hotel manager Youseff was fantastic booking us restaurant reservations when we ourselves couldn’t get one. The bell boys were very attentive and the breakfast was fabulous: lovely rooftop pool.
Would come back here in a heart beat"
"Nothing we could fault about this place - incredible experience from start to finish, the staff were some of the loveliest people we met and really made our experience of marrakesh"
