Diar Illi

DIAR ILLI is a paradise. We travelled with 3 young kids (two 4 yr olds and a 7 yr old) and they still talk about how wonderful it was and about how kind Dada is - they speak constantly of going back 😊 If you are in the Marrakesh area this is a must - it is truly an oasis of peace and calm and beauty. Everything was perfect - the amenities, the pool. DIAR ILLI is Moroccan hospitality at its best! The views, the food, the people. We highly recommend!!

Amazing gardens, huge pool (unheated) and perfectly situated with far ranging views. We were impressed by the attentive staff and good food. Some of the interiors in the main hotel, are somewhat dated, and the WiFi was patchy. This did not detract from our stay.

Please don’t make the same mistake that we did!!! We booked for just one night at this Mountain Oasis - you should have at least 2 nights here to relax and enjoy the wonderful setting with tranquil views and exceptional food. The owner Zineb is really a very special lady and she can’t do enough to ensure your stay is perfect. Like others have mentioned, the food is exceptional. We let the hotel know in advance that we are vegetarian and Zineb checked with us on arrival what we would like to eat for dinner. We asked for pasta / spaghetti - cooked a little firm (‘al dente’) as we had some terribly overcooked pasta in Marrakesh a few days earlier and weren’t sure if this was the Moroccan way of cooking it. I know - this is really an over- fussy request, no? At dinner my wife and I were presented with around 6 small plates of deliciously fresh and perfectly dressed salads and 2 large plates of absolutely perfect spaghetti with a fresh tomato sauce and sprinkling of cheese. Everything was absolutely outstanding! For breakfast - let’s not even go there!!!…you’ll think this is a fake review if I keep this up!! The room was spacious and equally well-decorated in very tasteful character as is the rest of the hotel with attention paid to all the fine details. Excellent powerful shower with plenty of hot water. Very good air conditioning in the room too and a large comfy bed. Plenty of wardrobe storage. So, there must be some criticism, no? The only thing that I can think of is the patchy Wi-Fi - it didn’t really work in our room nor from the upper sun decks. This wasn’t a problem at all for us as we switched to 10Gb Moroccan SIM cards (€10) when we arrived in the country for our 2-week trip to use for Google Maps and social media! Once again Zineb, Mell and I thank you and your excellent staff for making our stay so super special. XX

Plus qu’excellent. Tout était plus que parfait. l’endroit est juste magique. Les chambres sont décorées avec goût. La propreté est irréprochable. Le service est discret, efficace et tout le monde est souriant. Les repas sont magiques et la présentation des plats est juste magique. Tous les endroits de détente sont plus apaisants les uns que les autres et ce romarin … just wow. Merci pour tout. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter une seule seconde !

Je recommande vivement cet endroit. Situé à moins d'une heure de Marrakech, Diar Illi permet de s'évader dans un décor idyllique. La vue est superbe, la piscine impeccable et le repas délicieux. Nous avons été accueilli par Zineb (la propriétaire), qui nous a réservé un accueil chaleureux et sincère. Par la suite, Zineb qui nous a cuisiné des plats typiques d'une extrême finesse! Le reste du personnel est également professionnel et disponible au moindre souci ou à la moindre question. J'y retournerai certainement dans le future.

Un lieu à couper le souffle, nous avons été hyper bien accueillis et vite mis à l’aise. « Comme à la maison ». La propriétaire des lieux et des employés ont tout fait pour que l’on passe un moment magique. Les plats sont très bons et surtout frais et copiiiiiiieux!!
