Kenzi Club Agdal Medina All Inclusive

This is a far cry from a 5* hotel - ants in the rooms (which also smell of drains), terrible food/drink and threadbare towels. If you are a couple, don’t book here.. hundreds of children, very loud entertainment and not relaxing at all. It’s cheap, but spend the extra £200 and stay elsewhere!

We stayed in Riad Rosarrie with a beautiful apartment and secluded pool. The staff were very helpful and hospitable, something that comes as part of Moroccan culture. There are 2 other, larger pools. One designed for families and children. The food caters for European cuisine but was pleased to find some Moroccan based dishes too. The chefs and service team work hard to produce good quality food. We didn’t do many activities - but visited the spa for a massage and a Brahman Bath. Both were lovely and reasonably priced. There is an on-site golf pro I visited one day and he really did help with an hour 1on1 lesson. And it was free! In the evening we stayed around the Bar area next to the restaurant. There was music, mini disco for kids and then a show or some local entertainment. The best evening was the special guests drumline. Was brilliant to watch! Overall we loved it. Spent 7 nights. As far as all inclusive, affordable hotels go this has to be up with the best. Special shout out to Ayisha (our bar attendant at the pool), Mohammed (server in the bar who kept the drinks coming and taught me a little Arabic)!

What can I say? We didn’t really need to leave the hotel as everything we needed was present. From the warm welcome on arrival (after missing our initial flight) and being served delicious Morocco’s tea, to being taken to our room on a caddy with our luggage, to having our room upgraded, every member of staff we came in contact with greeted us with a smile, the list is endless! Our 9 month old baby got most of the love of I’m honest from everyone stopping to play and talk to her at every opportunity. The restaurant where all meals were served felt like we had gone to a fancy dinner each time, food selection was awesome too, even as a picky eater that I am. Staff in the restaurant were polite, pleasant and always on hand for any assistance- you never needed to wait at all to be waited on! Ayman my guy ready supplying the drinks with smiles! Then there’s the O-Spa…. Amazing! Did the Hamman and Massage with Vushe (hope I spelt it right) and I slept like a baby afterwards, with the best glowing skin! The Animation crew at the bar by the swimming pools were very fun and entertaining, got us involved in a Masterchef competition on best Tangine lol Make use of the hotel shuttle service to the market square which is also a bonus. I will not hesitate to rebook here on my return to Marrakech- Thank You to the entire team!

Communication with staff is terrible. Asked to have two rooms together or on the same floor due to having young babies and a pregnant wife. Had us well away from our family. Changed room the next day and told us the room will be ready at 3pm. Gave them til 4pm. Chased it up - nothing. Didn’t get the room until 6pm after going to reception and being told it will be 5 mins/10mins/15mins continuously for 2 hours. Poor start to holiday. Wine/spirits seem very watered down/weak. Had numerous drinks/cocktails and didn’t feel a thing until I drank some of my own duty free spirits. Beer is the safest option as it’s from tap or bottled.

Spend your money elsewhere. This is not a 5-star property by any stretch of the imagination. We had to change rooms 3 times due to A/C not working as well as a cockroach situation. Property is run down. Protocols for running the place seem completely absent. We spent a week eating all meals in their restaurant without working A/C at 40c temperatures. Their shuttle to the Medina was run down and had no A/C. Routinely ran out of food during meals. Long lines to wait for it to be made. Never enough glasses or spoons. Kids using their fingers to grab buffet food without being addressed by the property. Pools have major deferred maintenance. Pool bar was dirty with bees all around the sweet mixers and dead flies in the Sangria on the countertop. Spoke to GM requesting a refund. He promised to get back to me after speaking to his boss, and of course that never happened, which pretty much sums up the approach to customer concerns at this property. He tried to gaslight me by claiming that all-inclusive clubs are not hotels. Wow! Needless to say, I have extensive experience with all-inclusives and this one is in trouble. My sister and her family also stayed and their bathroom flooded the first night, they were never able to get housekeeping to leave towels for everyone in their party, their door malfunctioned twice where it wouldn’t lock and each time they had to wait for hours for maintenance to show up. Working with hotels.com to address this as I find it completely unacceptable.

Really nice stay. Great pool. Not too deep so great for the kids. Great entertainment. Nice slides. Food was good. They did mix spoons and knifes etc between veg and non veg food but overall no issues.

Excellent facilities! The staff were very kind and hospitable. Food was amazing, various options for the whole family.

The facilities were great, 3 pools, kids club, baby club (chargeable and expensive), courts for sports (even though a bit worn), pool bar, towel changing facilities at the pool, activities all day. The rooms, dependent on the room, were from OK to disappointing. There were a lot of broken items and stains that required fixing for a 5 star hotel. In one of the rooms, the air con was not working and the maintenance guy just changed the setting on the thermostat and he said it's fixed. Clearly it was not! We had to change 4 rooms throughout our stay there, the 1st one was facing the restaurant and all the cooking fumes were coming in, the second one was not meant to have guests, everything was broken, the 3rd one had the air con issue with 33 degrees celcius, the 4th one was 4 out of 5 at least. The reception staff and the porters were super nice, the cleaning staff were bad, they were not replacing used items in the room like shampoos, coffees, water, etc, they were super slow, relaxing outside to come and clean the rooms at 2 or 3pm, at the time you wanted to get some mid-day rest after lunch. The spa had some good facilities and it was nice. We did a massage twice, however, it was very strange; we had a couples massage and we were not given privacy to take off our clothes and put them on again and we were not given disposable underwear. We had to use ours or the swim suits and they, of course, became oily. The kids club was very good and the staff, super nice!

Positives: Spacious grounds. Lots of greenery and choice of pools. Activities for adults and children. Cleanliness. Staff. Plenty of places to relax. Quality of food. Negatives: Children's pool unheated. Repetitive food choices. Night-time entertainment was only children's disco and dance. More comfortable seating needed by snack bar near pool. Lack of nearby amenities. Everything a taxi ride away. TV picture.

We had a lovely few days here this week. The staff are very friendly and work hard. The food was good - especially the grilled meat and salads at lunch and the Moroccan themed night - loads of choice and all delicious. The pools are brilliant and kept clean, one is heated. The grounds are well tended - the rooms are laid out in riads which are spread out and surrounded by olive trees, which made it feel less like a big hotel and was a positive for us. The room itself was a little tired. There was a wall tile missing off the side of the bath and worn out fabric on a chair, which is a shame as it gave a disappointing first impression, but everything worked as it should, the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was hot and powerful. We stayed in a family room which had two day beds for the children in a separate living area so we had loads of space for a family of 4. We had an upstairs room overlooking the tennis courts and olive groves which felt private and quiet. The free shuttle into town was great. We totally relaxed here and would return.
