Lovely holiday Club Med style
As seniors we returned to Club Med after a gap of more than 30 years since our regular winter holidays in many Clubs in France and Switzerland, when our family was young. This was a joyful and uplifting experience. We were impressed by how hard the GOs worked to make this happen. In a resort this large that’s amazing. Club Med’s unique values and offerings live on! Hooray!

Magnificent club with great service!
I stayed with my mum for 5 nights.
Very pleasant and personal welcoming from the staff.
All the GO's were super friendly and helpful. Special reach out to Victoria from the boutique who helped me 3 times chosing some 45 branded garments and joining us during dinners and parties!🍸🙏
Will come back fo sure!

A fab place for a week of rest, recuperation, activities and excellent food!
What a wonderful place for a holiday! Ticked all my boxes, thank you, as the GOs were so friendly and upbeat, the food and service throughout was excellent.

The Riad is the place to be
We were somewhat anxious as our previous Christmas holidays at Club Med Samoens (see my previous ) were somewhat of a nightmare and our last stay in the Riad part was also not that good.
FYI, The Riad is part of the Luxury Collection of Club Med but the rest of the village is a standard Club Med village.
Is it worth to stay at the Riad? Our answer is yes.
The rooms (as the rest of the Riad) have received a make-over and remain spacious and are brighter than before. They have all you need, dispose of a nice terrace or garden and everything is functioning properly. This being said, I would not qualify them as luxuruous. Try also to get a room which is located somewhat away from the rest of the village (numbers 40 and 50) so you avoid the noise at night from the rest of the village (please note that as in all muslim countries you will have noise from the minarets early in the morning but that applies for the whole of Marrakech).
The food is the biggest change in the Riad. Although you can go and eat in the main restaurant of the village, you can also have breakfast and lunch in the Riad and it is so much better than it used to be a few years ago. The Riad now has its own chefs (thank you so much Debi and El Mehdi) and that shows in the quality of the food and snacks as proven by the fact that most of the Riad residents stay and eat in the Riad which was not the case in the past. In principle, for dinner you need to go to the main restaurant but a few times a week the kitchen organizes special evenings with a number of bites which also allows you to stay in the Riad.
In general the staff at the Riad (thanks Rachid for the milk and the hot water for the tea) is also much more friendly and efficient than they used to be. For example, in the past tea time was always late and just had a few cookies, now everything is ready at 4.00 pm and you have a huge variety of healthy and ‘less healthy’ snacks.
A good thing is also that the pool of the Riad is now heated which was not the case in the past and which meant that I had to bring my wetsuit to be able to swim.
It should be noted that the public in the Riad is somewhat of an older public of golfers; which means that if you are looking for noise and partying you better opt for the standard village part.
One final but important note. It is clear that all of these improvements could not have taken place without the presence and management of the new head of the Riad. I forgot to ask his name but he is present day and night and clearly has control over his staff. You can also ask him anything and will do his utmost to get it done (according to us that was the big difference with Samoens where the head of the chalets clearly had no clue of what was expected from her)
Is it heaven on earth then? Here I might get into a touchy subject. Club Med has introduced some time ago the Luxury Collection which are basically their 5star resorts. Some of these resorts are Luxury resorts only (e.g Cefalu where we stayed in the summer of 2024 and which was perfect) and some of them are part of a ‘normal’ Club Med village (e.g. Samoens and Marrakech) which means that for part of your meals and activities you need to go to the village. For the activities it does not make a difference. Marrakech has a decent fitness room, good tennis courts, a nice golfing practice, a nice spa,… But we feel that there is a difference in the food. We felt that the food in the main restaurant of Samoens and Marrakech is not up to the level of the food in, for instance, Cefalu which makes sense as not everyone is paying the same price. One other downside in Marrakech is the fact that in the main restaurant a huge number of tables are reserved. It is clear that this is due to the fact that people pay tips to the staff of the restaurant to get these tables reserved because when I asked in the Riad to get a table reserved, they told me that was not possible. This means that in some cases you have to wait for a table to be freed up. In the end we gave up and did not respect the reservation sign on the table which lead to some discussions with the waiters but when we told them to get the restaurant manager, by miracle there was no more issue. We also heard the same complaint from other people in the Riad.
One final recommendation, the horse back riding. Our sons are experienced riders but they confirmed that the rides that are being organized in the desert next to the Village are absolutely worth the money.
Overall if you want peace and quitness in an actual oasis, get treated in a nice way the Riad is a recommendation, just try to get as much of your meals also in the Riad.
