“couldn't ask for more!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just returned from a lovely 5 night stay. We were travelling with our 18 month old daughter and it couldn't have been easier. We booked the Jaipur Suite and we were very pleased with the room. We had a downstairs living area and bathroom, where we could have a travel cot (provided) and our bedroom area was above on a mezzanine level. The hotel staff were very accomodating and friendly.
The location could not have been better and gave us great walking access to the whole area.
The food was plentiful and very good. We ate a number of evening meals in the hotel and the staff were happy to cook anything we requested even if it was not on the menu (which does at first glance appear a little limited).
For parents with children our baby monitor worked throughout the hotel, so we could leave our daughter in bed asleep and sit down stairs in the bar or library area in the evenings and not be confined to the suite.
I only have two small complaints, first, it is advertised as having a heated pool but I am not convinced. Secondly, the bathroom was lovely but the shower over the bath was very poor so we ended up having a bath rather than shower most days. Neither of these small points would stop me recommending this hotel.

“quiet hideaway hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2010

A Smiling Staff waiting for us as we arrived off the bus. Mint tea and tiny tasty pastries and fruit served in fireplace area. Shown to our comfortable if not palatial room (we were on a budget) with sea views. Super polished limestone bathroom. Excellent high quality bathroom products supplied and topped up daily. Delicious breakfasts. The hotel was very quiet but this suited us well. it is just outside the hustle of the medina - a bit of a haven.
I was poorly while I was there and a very pleasant and efficient doctor was sent for. He appeared in 40 minutes! and prescribed medicines which the porter collected. The doctor charged 400 dirhams for his visit [about £32] - not enough to bother claiming insurance for and the prescription was about £4.
The staff were all a delight and helped out with all our needs.
Lunch at the hotel was plentiful and fresh.
We did not eat there in the evenings.
Only 500 m from where Marrakesh bus comes in - perfect when arriving late on.
My only gripe would be the low lighting levels in the rooms - both of us liked to read but lighting was fashionably dim and the bedside lightshades could have done with renewal.
all in all tho, highly recommended.

“Perfectly located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010

Ocean Vagabond is a stylish hotel with a lovely pool.
it is perfectly located just a short walk from the medina but as it is outside you can be dropped off by taxi right outside rather than have to be shown to the riads inside the medina by a chap with a cart. This is because no cars are allowed inside the medina and some of the riads are up very narrow side streets well in the medina.
The hotel provides towels for the pool and will supply beach towels if you can brave the wind and go to the beach.
The staff are very friendly.

“excellent B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2010

Spent 2 nights there after a 4 fab night stay in Marrakech. Very nice B&B, conveniently located a fews steps outside the old town and very close to the beach. Staff were great. Rooms were spacious and spotless clean. Excellent address if you don't mind staying outside the medina.
