Villa Jardins D'Isa

We had a villa it was very spacious, Clean and quiet, pool was great restaurant was also very good. The staff were excellent even let our friends who were staying at another resort come in and have a group dinner, there were 8 of us, this was great.

The safe you could just pick up and walk out with, the 2 back bedroom sliding doors did not lock the staff assured us that it was safe, but it was just us two girls on our own and we wanted the door fixed so it could lock. This did happen after 2 nights and it felt a lot better once it was done. The water I don’t know why but was turned off most mid-mornings for some time which was annoying if you had a swim then wanted a shower through the day before going to the old town.

A beautiful pool, the setting, the tagines (delicious!), the fact it offers an exclusive experience of pure calm. A modern oasis, great for families, couples… the owners are very friendly and helpful.

Confirmation on arrival about what our booking included meal wise (there are 2 and 3 courses for dinner, and it is unclear what you could or could not have at breakfast). It’s assumed you know. We were half board. Perhaps lost in translation as our French isn’t great!

The property is lovely, clean with well maintained gardens and pool. Breakfast was always delicious, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The owners are a delightful couple.

Sadly there was building work going on during our stay, both on the property next door and on the roof of the villa, so it wasn't as peaceful as we had hoped. They finished mid afternoon, so it wasn't too bad. We misunderstood (as did another couple) and thought that there was a free shuttle into Marrakech each day. There is a shuttle, but it is not free. The property is not too far out, but it is a taxi drive each way, and there is not anything to see near the property if you are walking. Both the taxis we had were rather dirty inside, but of course that is no reflection on Villa Jardin D'Isa. There is nothing to do in the vicinity on foot, but we were happy to lounge around and read and had a trip out to Ouarzazate, Ait Ben Hadou and one of the film studios, booked through a different company and in a very comfortable SUV, plus two taxi trips into Marrakech. Only other thing was portion size at dinner - my husband is an ex rugby player and still eats as if he is playing full back, but it was fine for me.

Property was clean, staff was welcoming
