Riad Lila

From the moment we arrived, Mariam warmly welcomed us, despite our late arrival after dinner. She graciously prepared a meal for us, and along with her two colleagues, ensured our comfort throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate, and the meals, from breakfast to dinner, were excellent. We look forward to visiting again next year.

We stayed here for 4 nights. Whilst I agree that it’s a little hard to find, the Google maps location is pretty accurate to be fair as it’s actually on the little alley behind Derb Debachi. Go along Derb Debachi and you come to a quite nice ‘spa’ shop selling herbal products on your left. Go past that and the next alley (has a bit of an arch) turn left down that. The first right where you pass the bakery. Keep following that alley way and you will eventually come to it on your left hand side (has number 21 on the door). The lady who ran the place was lovely. (Sadly we never got her name) Doesn’t speak any English which confused me as I had a call after there was an issue with our transfer and that lady spoke perfect English. However, we got by with google translate and hand gestures haha. The home cooked food was amazing. Maybe could offer say some yoghurt or fruit with breakfast as there was a lot of bread based products however the fresh juice was fab and the lamb tagline with almonds and prunes we had one night for dinner was superb. Dinner was always 3 courses with a bottle of water and we were always offered Moroccan Tea with our breakfast. The host couldn’t do enough for us and checked if we wanted lunch before we went out for the day. On the day we left she gave us both a big hug and it was like we’d be staying with a relative. We were supposed to have a King room but I’m not sure we got one. It stated a kettle in the room which we didn’t have and private access to the pool. Whilst I did use the pool a couple of times, it wasn’t private access. No issue though but just to make you aware. The room was big enough, clean and bed was comfy. Only issue was sometimes the aircon had a rotten egg smell when turned on. Maybe just needs a service. The shower was hot and powerful and toiletries were provided and towels changed daily. The decoration is beautiful and the hand painted ceilings are stunning We booked via *********** and upgraded to ‘all inclusive’. It was however more like full board (which I think it has now been changed on the site) but we only ever had breakfast and dinner as we were out during the day. Ultimately we would happily stay here if we ever ventured to Marrakesh again.
