My stay at Riad Dar Zouar was mixed. While the charm of the riad and the attentive staff made for a pleasant experience, the location was quite difficult to navigate, and I felt a bit uneasy at times. The value for money was reasonable, but some aspects like dining variety left room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at Riad Dar Zouar & Spa, where the serene atmosphere beautifully contrasted the hustle of Marrakech right outside. My suite was both spacious and charming, though I found the location a bit tricky to navigate initially. The rooftop terrace was perfect for unwinding, and the staff were attentive and welcoming. However, I did experience some challenges with the wifi and the common area temperatures during my winter visit, which detracted slightly from the experience.
