TUI BLUE Medina Gardens - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Rooms and general hotel were lovely and well maintained, as were the lush gardens. The hotel teams were fab throughout - happy, polite, friendly and helpful. Location was brill for visiting the main sights of the city and made it a nice spot to return to after visiting the city. Easy to navigate from the hotel and in walking distance of most things.

Very good hotel. Staff all very good. Restaurant staff and chefs all working very hard. Everybody at the hotel has been well trained. We stayed for 2 nights, went on a trip and came back for another 2 nights. Enjoyed the food. Enjoyed our lunch in the snack bar where meals are cooked to order. Enjoyed everything on the menu. Main pool to cold in March but smaller heated pool is at the back. Nice temperature. Lots of sunbeds around the gardens. Very nice with no children running around. Shame guests still think it is ok to leave towels on beds for hours when they are not using them. Very selfish. Location is excellent. The hotel gives you the best of both worlds. First class hotel and food but just an easy 10 - 15 min walk from the Medina. Much better than having to catch shuttle buses or taxis back and forth. There is a gate into the Medina closer to the hotel. No need to go to Jemaa el-Fnaa square but if you have not been before it might be best going to the center first. Yes it is mad, yes it is all overwhelming but thats why we visit Marrakesh. I recommend a guide (private is best) for one of the first mornings. It will help you enjoy the experience. Tips for the Medina:- walk on the right side. Dont let the scooters bother you. You keep walking in a straight line and they will avoid you. Ignore them (even though there are 100's of them. We were told most houses and flats in Marrakesh have at least 1 or 2 mopeds!!). Also if you are approached by anyone just ignore them. I think they have all been told if the tourist is not interested or ignores you leave them alone. They do not pester or persist. FYI we used Booking.com for our airport transfers. All went very well. We were contacted by SMS / email and whatsapp re driver details, pick up time, location, etc. If the cost is reasonable they offer a good service. All in all we enjoyed our holiday. The hotel is expensive but I suppose you get what you pay for.

The two pools and the gardens The food was fantastic lots to choose from and the dessarts where delicious - drinks was included which was great - everything was catered for and the hotel was very near to the Medina - we walked twice.

Rooms were spacious, enjoyed the jacuzzi everyday. Most importantly the staff, especially Maud at reception and 2 daytime bartenders in the Tea Room/bar were absolutely brilliant. The food was buffet style like most other resorts, but the food was really good, they had different selections everynight. Location is absolutely perfect, a 10 minute walk to Al Fnaa and Koutoubia. If I was to visit Marrakech again, I'd only stay here.

Room was spotless with great views and facilities. Heated pools. Food was absolutely superb and provided Gluten Free menu. Staff were brilliant, nothing too much trouble, extremely friendly and helpful.
