Ourika Anima Garden Hotels

"A lovely hotel, well maintained with lots of history and some stunning decor. Nadia and her husband (Geward?), are brilliant hosts and, together with the other staff, make it a relaxing, fun and most enjoyable place to stay. Clean hotel, with lovely gardens, with loads of secret/secluded places to have lunch or just retreat from the sun for a bit and the food is amazing. We will definitely be coming back, even if it is just for a long weekend. Me and my partner wanted a weeks break away, where we could relax and destress, and we got that and more at this hotel. We had a jacuzzi bath in our room, which was wonderful, but note that there is no steam room, gym or full service spa (Expedia - please update your information) - although you can go for a run in the area around the hotel and Nadia will be very happy to organise and book treatments at her favourite spa, which the Hammam and zen massage she arranged for us was amazing!"

"The villa is beautiful, well equipped and spacious, with some lovely traditional design and decor features. After visits to nearby sites around Ourika, the villa pool offered a welcoming cool down from the heat. The kids enjoyed splashing around in the pool, while the adults were able to fully relax in our home away from home. The views from the roof of the surrounding countryside and mountains were particularly memorable, both during the day and under the stars at night. A huge thanks to Kawthar and Anis who were so kind, welcoming and readily available to respond to any queries we had during our stay - shukran jazilan. "

"I came with my husband for honey moon, the staff were amazing they made up the room for us with flowers and nice decoration for our arrival, Sana was really nice and helpful, and all staff without exception. The hotel was so clean the food amazing and it’s like home made. It’s more advisable for romantic stay, very quiet and nice scenery from the balcony especially at night. Also I would advise people to have their own car to be able to commute to Marakesh or go to nearby places as it’s a bit in the middle of nowhere. Very much recommended, you won’t be disappointed ."
