Le Jardin des Douars

Tout était parfait, merci nous reviendrons.

RAS

L’endroit est magnifique, les piscines et la chambre

La nourriture n’est pas à la hauteur dé l’établissement, mauvaise expérience au spa

Juste parfait

Abtuel hat sich wirklich Mühe gegeben und das Hotel zu zeigen!

Es war eine interessante Erfahrung. Es gibt noch viel Raum für Verbesserungen besonders in der Kommunikation und im Angebot des Wochen-Programms fand während unseres Aufenthalts nicht statt. Es liegt ein wenig ab von jeglicher Zivilisation direkt in der Anflugschneise des Flughafens.

Mooie oase

Alles was perfect

Amazing experience! Hotel is unbelievably charming with Moroccan design, beautiful garden and nicest staff that make you feel very welcome. We experienced a minor issue that was handled with highest professionalism and understanding. Recommend to anyone seeking tranquility and tasteful environment.

Bel endroit / Personnel agréable et serviable / décoration

Musique trop forte / salle sans enfant trop petite

Le site et les jardins magnifiques. La chambre gazelle superbe. L’hospitalite du personnel toujours souriant. Un grand plus pour les serveurs Yacine et Zizou. À recommander par Bernard et Martine

Le cadre, le confort, le Hammam

Les petits déjeuners et le côté impersonnel

L’ambiance, le calme, les installations, la décoration & la restauration

¡Es absolutamente perfecto!

La tranquilidad y el ambiente

No hay televisión en la habitación

Le jardin et les équipements (piscine, restaurants) sont magnifiques. Les prestations sont de très haut niveau dans une ambiance paisible. Les employés ont le sourire en permanence, on sent qu’ils aiment prendre soin des clients et du site.

One of the most beautiful resorts we have ever been, and we've traveled a lot. The architecture and vibe of the place are stunning. Truly amazing. White Lotus vibes ;) When I come back to Marocco I would certainly stay here again The Paddel court is a super cool addition to the resort! The Gym (which was under construction during our stay) will also be a welcome inclusion. We'd stay longer next time :) (our current stay was 3 nights)

These are details, as our stay was terrific: - The restaurant could use a few more vegetarian (or, ideally, vegan options). Especially the rotating menu was meat / fish focussed - the shuttle to Essaouira could probably benefit from fixed times. It's currently on demand, but not instant, which makes it a bit inefficient. As a tourist it's difficult to plan your day so this didn't really work well. Also, at fixed times, it could be free of charge. I think that would make for a better experience - The cocktails could be better. I realize alcohol is not part of Marrocan culture, but as you're spending quite some time on the resort itself, having better cocktails would be an improvement (they were all quite watery) - Offer free bottles of water on the room, as you can't drink tap

Just wow! Wonderful location. The best one we’ve stayed in Morocco. Great food and staff. We loved the “adults only pool.”

A bit noisy. I recommend asking for a room at the top floor

L’hôtel est très esthétique, décoré avec goût et conforme aux photos. Le cadre est agréable et le personnel accueillant. En revanche, il faut savoir que l’environnement autour ne reflète pas du tout cette image : la ville d’Essaouira est malheureusement très pauvre, ce qui crée un contraste frappant entre l’hôtel et la réalité locale. Cela peut surprendre si l’on ne s’y attend pas.

Aucune remarque

Fantastic venue, very clean. Excellent food, and great amenities. One swimming pool for the kids/families and one for the adults only. Very friendly staff, always available to help

Need to pay €12-15 for the shuttle/taxi every time you want to go to Essaouira and the sea, as the venue is 15 minutes away from the sea

Absolument parfait

Everything about this hotel is amazing, from the rooms, to the pool to the restaurant. Everything is high quality and you’re well looked after by the staff.

Nothing.

De kamers zijn heel ruim en heel smaakvol ingericht, met goede en stille airco. De bedden zijn groot en heel erg comfortabel (eindelijk een lekker zacht bed in Marokko). Het complex is heel goed onderhouden met een mooie bloementuin. Het zwembad is met zijn groene kleur fantastisch, je kan er echt baantjes trekken.

De sfeer is nogal commercieel. De inrichting van het gehele complex was een beetje 'net niet'. Net iets te nieuw en niet authentiek. Het was ook best duur. Het is een stukje rijden naar Oualidia, maar dat is juist prima omdat het daar erg druk is.

La douceur des lieux, la gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel.

Rien. Petit bémol néanmoins sur la literie un peu dure ( mais ressenti très personnel)

Everything.

Everything

More choice for breakfast

The place is beautiful. Very calm. Very green with a lot of trees. I would say is the only hotel around Essaouira at Marrakech level.

Staff are very nice but you have the feeling of missing management. We drank an aperitive at the swimming pool, I had to go back to the bar to ask for olives and peanuts. For breakfast a good number of waiters but acting weirdly. For example for getting eggs , you must go to a counter , where there is a nice person who gets your order and tells it to a cook who is a meter far. You cannot order sitting at your table. Breakfast is overall reasonable but for the level of the hotel it could be better.

Charming staff. Superb facilities.

Breakfast ok location fair

Breakfast was okay not great

A beautiful hotel- perfect for our family. Stunning pool, awesome hammam & the best riding on the beach! We’ll be back!

Peaceful and fun weekend with girls in a beautiful oasis. Very mixed clientele; lots of couples, girl groups, families, all ages. Having adults Vs family pool areas also worked very well.

It was all fantastic. Echoing other reviews. This place is luxurious and the food is fantastic. We highly recommend.

Not much. We had some difficulty with many things being in French but this is minor.

Great food. Fabulous drinks. Rooms were very comfortable. Pool heated enough to swim comfortably in December. Great place to stay with kids. Would recommend to anyone.

The hotel is beautiful, the gardens are impeccably maintained, the housekeeping service is flawless, the pools are delightful, and the quality of the cuisine is outstanding.

Restaurant service: While the food is excellent, the service could be more prompt and attentive.

Most beautiful location. Very friendly people. Very good foid and drinks. We will come back

the room , the pool , the staff , food was great . We really liked the Lunch with all the fresh fish and wished they had a similar menu in the evening too.

a gym would have been perfect and would have given the place a 10 . Also we wanted to do the yoga but it was cancelled because not enough people they said . Definetely they should offer more excersize classes every day considering it was really busy . if they had these we would be back every year for certain.

The staff were amazing, really attentive and helpful. The setting was beautiful, very relaxing with lots of different areas. we ate at the hotel every evening as the food especially the specials were great

Nothing

The staff are incredibly kind and helpful and so welcominmg

the pillows are flat and the bed very stiff

Beautiful hotel! We had the BEST stay here and completely fell in love with the hotel. The grounds are stunning and everything is so calming. The spa was brilliant and the food was also out of this world. Honestly, it was flawless! As a couple on their honeymoon, our favourite thing was the separate pools for families and adults as it made for a calm, adult environment. We’ll be back!

Staff super friendly , beautiful gardens , excellent food

Not enough activities such as yoga, Pilates, gym.. on the site itself Huge number of padel courts but this is great if you are interested in padel

Amazing place. Tasteful, immaculate, well-run. Like a little Soho House out in the wilderness. Lovely pools (one family, one adult), great restaurant, excellent breakfast. 10/10.

It was all good.

Every corner of the hotel was perfection, so picturesque and well curated. The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The food was exceptional, super fresh and thoughtfully presented. All the staff were a joy and always helpful. The hammam experience in the spa was magical.

Some vegan lunch options on the menu would be appreciated and a few more vegan options on the dinner menu as 1/2 options were unavailable during our stay.

Lovely pool and facilities . Room spacious and detached from the main buildings

Cleaners a bit noisy and waiting outside chatting for us to get up at 9am but they did a fantastic job.

Everything. It is a beautiful little oasis. I hope it stays the same and doesn’t get bigger. Small but perfectly formed. The staff make the place very special

Nothing

The two pools, the restaurant and the spa were amazing despite the place being very classy and lowkey.

Nothing, it was all amazing.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very accommodating.

The food did not match the exceptional quality or the hotel. The traditional food was not as spiced and flavourful as anticipated and meats were dry. When staying for 5 days a few changes in the menu might have been helpful.

Everything… the most beautiful planting of its grounds,laid back spaces and music, absolutely fantastic staff attitudes (even during Ramadan when they were thirsty and hungry).

I’ve been coming here for over 8 years with a recent gap over pandemic, and have now noticed prices increasing quite a lot. Whilst the facilities and service here are top notch it may be getting towards the top end of what the market can achieve in Morocco. Eg 75ml water = 25 Mad which currently works out at 2.29 euros.

Everything: little paradise, do not hesitate and book your room!

Magical, very zen & beautiful

No teen area...only kids pool & adult

Excellent pool, all the staff were great - friendly, professional & fun. Superb gardens & accommodation & delicious food. Perfect for a few days relaxation.

Loved the staff

The spa was average. We had an exfoliation and it was very average. The lady just left us for 15 min, didn’t explain what was happening. I have been to spas all over the world and it was disappointing. Needs to be improved

Well designed, beautiful flowers. Swimming pools for adults versus kids a great idea.

Nothing!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille ! Le cadre est luxueux, calme mais aussi chaleureux et accueillant. Rien à redire! J'espère avoir l'occasion d'y revenir !

Top ! The best boutique hôtel/ riad we had in Maroc. Wonderfull place!

Le Jardin des Duars is an oasis of calm & beauty 15minutes from Essouira. The staff are wonderful & very professional, the rooms charming, spacious & beautifully appointed, the food excellent & the facilities: spa & pool, complete atmosphere.

Beautiful gardens & very chilled/ relaxed atmosphere. Daily menu delicious & good value- the chef's are excellent. Loved the hamman treatments & spa too. Stay was so relaxing & setting perfect. Bus into Essaouira very efficient. Just a wonderful few days..thank you!

The pillows on the beds are a bit flat & uncomfy. My friend also found this. We tried the larger square pillows but even these were not helpful. Please change the bed pillows for more supportive, softer ones as it will benefit all guests. Breakfast really good, but after a few days, more variety would be appreciated.ie different juices, more cooked food offered, croissants, pastries added etc.

Pretty grounds. Adult-only pool was nice. Excellent personnel. A tight ship is definitely run. Rooms were nice, nothing particularly to write home about; pretty much the wonted, top-notch Moroccan design and general tidiness you find just about everywhere else in the area, but at a different price point. Big breakfast buffet until 10:30 (!). Checkout at noon (!). Bliss. We gave three rooms and a cluster of meals and spa treatments a burl here on two different visits.

On both occasions all three of us agreed that the best aspects were the Moroccan personnel and the pool and architecture and that the biggest letdown was the gastronomy, which left something to be desired (and the prices really stick it to you). But! This latter could improve. We asked for a full bed and were given two mattresses pushed together, so there was a cavern in the middle—just FYI in case you want to actually sleep together … maybe some couples prefer not to. 🤷‍♀️ The personnel seemed peppy enough, but poked around a bit and seems there’s a bit of a stiff upper lip afoot. That is to say, no complaints from the guest side of things, just felt a touch sheepish. And not all travelers even give a hoot about this, though we do. All in all a decent place to hang your hat for a few days in the Essaouira area, if you’re not on a shoestring and willing to dish out for the European prices. Note that we didn’t snoop about the large villas, which could very well be the reason this place gets the hype.

Our favourite stay in Morocco! Oasis of peace with beautiful gardens, great restaurant and adults only pool. definitely worth a stay if you’re around Essaouira.

I wish we could stay for longer - low availability on rooms!

I am not normally a fan of hotels and tend to stay in villas when travelling, but Le jardin is so special and a few days here was a real treat and the perfect place to unwind. The hotel is small but perfectly formed! The decor and landscaping are beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff are wonderful. Already booked my next stay and can’t wait to return in October!

nothing

Charging for tea and coffee in the room - beware!

Just incredible. Amazing staff. Beautiful heated pool. Two pools (one for families and the other adults only). Tea and cake served at 5PM made you feel taken care of. The food is incredible. room and bed were extremely comfortable.

Only improvement I could see is adding a space for fitness. That could be a gym, tennis or something along those lines.

The facilities and location were excellent and not too far from Essaouira. Food at dinner and breakfast were very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved the birdlife.

Nothing springs to mind.

beautiful garden and rooms, polite accommodating staff, good food - a charming little paradise

nothing!!

Breakfast is amazing, a lot of options and very well organized.

Some lack of privacy on my room

amabilité du staff très belle chambre...............

Excellent de À à Z

Nous avons séjourné avec notre bébé de 9mois et tout s’est très bien passé. Les hôtes et le personnel sont à l’écoute, les équipements du jardin sont très bien et les deux piscines permettent d’avoir deux atmosphères différentes :-) À réserver sans hésiter.

So peaceful and beautiful. Staff were amazing and so friendly. Had such a homely atmosphere. Food was delicious. Would 100% go again

room was comfortable, food was excellent, loved the adult/family pools. beautiful setting.

Beautiful Moroccan style country hotel, ideal for a relaxing break. Efficient and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant serving both local and European dishes.

The hotel is very comfortable with amazing views of the hills and river. The heated pools were a blessing and staff were super friendly. We loved the food and special menus for the little one. Hoping to go back again next year!

We've now stayed at Les Jardins three times and it's one of our favourite hotels anywhere in the world. We have a two- and five year old and have always been struck by how welcoming the staff are, and what a family-friendly place it is. There's two pools, one for families and one for adults only, so there's no need to feel self-conscious about noisy kids, likewise there's an adult-only dining room for the evenings too. From Greg & Nannie (management / owners) down, there are some lovely staff, with particular shout-outs being needed for Said, Francois, Salah, and the two Omars, along with one or two more whose names I've forgotten. There is good variety on offer on the menu, with daily specials and a separate lunch/dinner menu, as well as stuff for kids. They also have a good wine list, although it's not the cheapest place to buy alcohol in Morocco. All of the rooms are decorated to a high standard, with lovely levels of warmth and nice touches to make travellers feel welcome. The location is a little isolated, but we've always hired a car and have enjoyed the solitude. Essaouira is about a 10 minute drive away and it's always nice to come back to the hotel at the end of a busy day out. All in all a wonderful place to stay & we'll be back!
