It’s important to appreciate that a riad is not a hotel - so expectations should be different, and might not suit everyone. That said - we loved it. We perhaps weren’t the normal hiking/walking guests that wanted to soak up the trails and climbing, instead we loved to just sit on the terrace high above the town of Imlil and listen to the sounds of the town and enjoy the ample sunshine from dawn to dusk. Time passed quickly between a wonderful breakfast each morning, reading and chatting through to an excellent evening meal of salad/soup, meatball/beef/chicken tagine, with a big bowl of fruit to finish. We were well fed and didn’t feel the need for lunch on the 3 days that we were there. Water was freely available through a filter tap in the main dining room. There were good comms with the riad before the visit to organise transit from the airport. The leanings that I would pass on are; Think about having a night or two in Marrakesh before or after the visit to Imlil, the hotel were very able in organising the local taxis to both collect and drop at the airport or city. We weren’t there for any tours or experiences - but these can be easily arranged with the riad direct. I think I would probably ask what was available before arriving if I visit again. The transit arranged through the riad was local and so knew to drop us off on the road above the property - so it was only a few steps down to the riad, as opposed to lugging any luggage up from the town of Imlil. The staff were all very pleasant and easy to chat with. Lastly we booked through BA holidays.
