Reviews for Le Jardin des Douars
Review 1:the whole ambiance is an experience! It's nice to have the choice between adult/children area. They do everything to please/help! I'm recommending it to everyone (which is probably not a good idea...if we want to come back)
Review 2:The massage was quite disappointing compared to others I had in the country. I was restricted by timings of the shuttle bus and had to come back to the hotel from Essaouira earlier than I had wanted to.
Review 3:Lovely staff, wonderful swimming pool, perfectly calm and peaceful place. Food was good, and the bedrooms were large, comfortable and private. Bathrooms excellent too, with enormous baths!
Review 4:While the breakfast was excellent (including great Moroccan pancakes), the lunch and dinner were (just) ok (not bad). We would have liked to see a bit more presence of authentic Moroccan dishes in the lunch and dinner menu's, also served that way and cooked a bit better. Further, at lunch, the option to order a sandwich or so instead of a (whole) dish would have been nice. But this is definitely no reason not to come to this lovely hotel. Also, the wifi (only available at reception or in restaurant) is very slow, but that may actually be a relaxing blessing in disguise.
Review 5:Very charming hotel in Moroccan style (lovely setting) with all amenities you need to really relax. Great pool, good pool beds, hammam, restaurant, large cosy communal sitting corner with fireplace, beautiful garden with trees, flowers, herbs and birds. Staff very friendly and professional. Rooms are very charming and original. This hotel is very suitable for ultimate relaxing in a charming environment. Would definitely recommend.
Review 6:Sadly although I booked a spa treatment at reception and it was confirmed by telephone with the Spa it was later cancelled and I was unable to take another slot. This was frustrating as I had taken the time to organise it to fit in with the schedule we had with a group of friends we were meeting.
Review 7:Very attractive hotel with excellent food in a quiet inland setting just 20 mins by car from Essouria. Wonderful and clean pool for adults only as they also have a family pool which is quiet for reading and relaxing.
Review 8:We did not like the fact that they accepted a very large number of external people each day to use the pool. It led to us not having seats at the pool as well as dirty and noisy poolside conditions. It meant that we had to go out during the day as staying at the hotel was unbearable akin to staying in a camping site.
Review 9:The wifi connection was horrendous, rarely could I receive or send an email. The administration office has a stronger connection indicating that it is possible - more routers are needed. Vegetarian food very disappointing. No minibar or fridge in room meaning that as the hotel is remote one is compelled to buy their overpriced drinks. This becomes very expensive with kids
Review 10:Stunning gardens and comfortable room and bathroom. Gorgeous pools
Review 11:Very poor wifi and phone access, but that's not a bad thing if you want to escape! Some days the pool could be very busy depending on how many external guests were visiting.
Review 12:It was like a little piece of paradise. The adult pool was very tranquil with young families enjoying their own pool. Staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble.
Review 13:The mature lush gardens around the beautiful buildings gave a real feel of an oasis. The spa was amazing and the pools were a good size and had stunning views. The food was delicious and all the staff were really friendly and attentive.
Review 14:Everything was really lovely but we felt that allowing the birds to peck at the foods at the breakfast buffet was not a good or hygienic idea. Simple measures could be employed to remedy this.
Review 15:The peacefulness of the hotel and it's stunning gardens especially after a day in the bustle of Essaouria. A sanctuary in which to relax, unwind,meditate.and reflect.
Review 16:Julian and his young fellow Brahim are just perfect hosts. The cuisine of the house is by far the best that we tried during our 12 day stay in South Maroc. Highly recommended.
Review 17:The food was great they had a kids special every day. Heated pool was a must for April. Kids only pool was a good idea, loved every Moment. Will be back.
Review 18:Several little details could have been improved to make this better value for money
Review 19:Beautiful gardens, ability to walk/jog outside the hotel, friendly staff, warmer than Essaouira proper, segregation of children by provision of a Quiet Pool and a Family Pool, space to chill out
Review 20:we would appreciate a bit larger selection of non-morrocan dishes on the menu
Review 21:very beautiful gardens and interiors nice and comfortable rooms helpful staff good food
Review 22:The Moroccan food in the restaurant could be more Moroccan... But breakfast is great Wifi doesn't function that well....
Review 23:This place is just really well thought through. Beautiful gardens and a soft touch for the buildings and rooms Staff very attentive
Review 24:Important to be aware that the venue is outside a town or village so it requires a taxi ride or car to go anywhere. Hotel has a minibus which can be booked but requires a bit of advance planning.
Review 25:This hotel is in a beautiful setting with excellent food and facilities. The staff are what make it an exceptional place to spend time; nothing is too much trouble for them and all is done with unfailing courtesy and friendliness.
