Amazing Marrakech!
The first night we stayed at the four star Es Saadi Resort and Gardens. The pool area was nice and the pool was heated perfectly but the inside of the hotel was quite dated however and I'd say would only suit a family on a tight budget. We visited the Palace on the first afternoon and had a private tour, this was really worth it as we wouldn't have had a clue about what we were looking at otherwise. The architecture was wonderful and the flowers and trees were lovely. It's only about £2 to pay to get in, then you can hire a guide for a few extra pounds.
The following day we visited the Medina in the main square which is called "Djamaa El Fna ". I'd really recommend going in the day for the first time as it can be quite daunting, again we were lucky enough to have a guide with us as quite frankly it's a maze of alleyways with all the stalls, and you could easily get lost. Haggling is the name of the game here and it's so much fun. The locals are very friendly and you should not be worried about going in and getting some bargains. We visited the following evening too and again the atmosphere was amazing, all the sights and sounds, the places was a buzz. We weren't daunted as we'd been in the previous day so felt quite at ease.
We didn't really get to sample any nightlife as there doesn't seem to be a wealth of bars or clubs, but some of the major hotels do have some nice bars and a couple of clubs.
For the last 2 nights we stayed in a lovely Riad called "la Sultana", this was a lovely property and so quirky, unlike anything you’re likely to find anywhere else except in Morocco.
My highlight of the trip however by far was going into the Atlas Mountains and having lunch at Richard Branson's property the "Kasbah Tamadot" wow what a stunning location. The service and food was impeccable and the setting just wonderful. I will return on my own holiday one day!
