Hotel Review
Hôtel & Ryads Barrière Le Naoura
Marrakech

Great place to end our trip! Suite gave us room to spread out and organize our stuff, amenities included in room coffee and tea, minibar and large closet with iron. Huge bathroom suite provided bathrobes and slippers, plus there was a half bath. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed spending time on the double balcony overlooking the pool. Included breakfast buffet had wide variety of sweet and savory items, lunch and dinner menus were also extensive and all items were delicious. There is also a bar which also provides service to the pool.

Authenticity & Character
Decor is chrome, black, white, red and tan. Not especially Moroccon but very nice.
Location
Right next to Craft complex which had a great variety of items that were also found in the souk. Ten minute walk to medina entrance and short drive or longer walk to Majorelle Garden.
Staff
Restaurant staff were great, also concierge staff.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Beds were great, daily housekeeping, nice towels.

Very interesting place, local guide Hatima (sp?) was born there and took me to her former home! She knew a lot of the ancient and more recent history, and took me to great photo opportunity sites, even took some photos of me.

Fes

Guide was good but felt I didn't get a sense of the Medina other than the 2 shops (clothing & leather/tannery - which was interesting) where we went. Granted it was raining and maybe there weren't open air stalls there but would have liked to have seen more. The clothing shop, Maison du Kaftan, was wildly overpriced - a shirt I was originally quoted for at MAD 1600 and for which I paid 800 MAD I later saw in Marrakech for 200 MAD. I understand I didn't have to buy it but want to put out a buyer beware warning as this was early in our trip, we were tired, not familiar with currency conversion nor what things cost. Good think I like the shirt!

We wanted a trip where we could see much of the country side of Morocco as well as the cities and medinas. We decided to have a driver for our whole trip who knew the country and the roads. Over ten days, we travelled with Hamza who was a personable young man who knew instinctively what we needed to see. We also took private tours of the Mosque and the Medinas. Highlights for us were dinners in the Medina in Essouira, riding camels in the Agafay, and hiking in the Atlas Mountains. Hamza stopped whenever we had a photo op or whenever we needed a roadside coffee. We travel a lot and this trip will rank right up there as a special one. Thanks to Hamza and to Original Travels and Kim Kim.
