Les Jardins d’Issil is a true oasis of tranquility just outside the vibrant city of Marrakech. Surrounded by nature, this beautiful place offers peace, comfort, and a genuinely relaxing atmosphere. The setting is simply stunning — beautiful gardens, charming tents, and a serene pool area that invites you to unwind. The staff were very kind and welcoming, always ready to make our stay as pleasant as possible. It’s the perfect escape for those looking to recharge and enjoy the calm side of Morocco. We loved every moment and would warmly recommend it to anyone seeking beauty and serenity near Marrakech.

Les Jardins D’Issil is an oasis of calm and tranquility in the desert just beyond Marakesh.  It is a family run  hotel and spa with caring staff who go out of their way to accommodate your every need. The rooms/tents are stunning with extremely comfortable beds, the pool is just the right temperature and large enough to swim a few lengths.  The grounds and facilities are clean and well kept although there are some signs of age.  Despite this you will not be disappointed.  The hotel is utterly charming. Breakfasts are usually a Moroccan feast which kept us going all day.  Evening meals are available, again Moroccan dishes which are tasty, generous in size and presented well  for a reasonable cost. For those who like to drink alcohol there is a draft beer facility and local Moroccan wine is available.  The hotel is situated off a main road out of Marakesh and is not easy to find so if you’re hiring a car make sure you download the Waze satnav app and have plenty of data.  Without these two things I can guarantee you’ll get lost! Google maps gets very confused in this area!  All in all this hotel provided us with a wonderful place to stay and tour from and we will certainly return.

It is in the middle of no where, guests must rent a car otherwise taxis would scams you and difficult to arrange taxis. Breakfast is very basic and same every day( no fixed timetable), we tried to have lunch and dinner, food is ok, but at least 6 cats is in the dining place and jump on table to grabs food from plate. They accept only cash or transfer to European bank account ( no credit card accepted) i hardly see any other guests while staying 5days there.( early June). We went to attend a marriage, and had hard time paying a lots to taxis because of the location is very remote.

Staff are friendly, and tried their best to help guests.

Communal areas a bit dilapidated in areas (chair cushions frayed, floor surrounding pool cracked and shedding paint). In room shower head fixture broken so you had to hold it in hand. In any case small things which didn't really impact our holiday feeling or enjoyment.

Friendly staff, great room (loved the tent), food was OK (some of it made with too much sugar, but they adjusted that for us the days after.

The property needs A LOT of attention. It's very run down. The outdoor furniture is old, torn, and in poor condition. The walkways are chipped and crumbling. The Jardins (Gardens) d'Issil are not green flowery gardens like the pictures, but instead dirt gardens. The majority of the vegetation is dead. The greenery was a main reason we chose this property.  The cost of food and drink onsite is outrageous: be prepared to pay 150dh (~$15)  for 1 oz (30ml) of alcohol. This is the small side of a shot pourer "pony shot," and not the normal pour.  There's no potable water provided, even during meals - each bottle of water is 30dh ($3); with the average daily temp at  37c (98 F) hydration is a requirement. It's unacceptable not to offer potable water at least at mealtimes.  The site says there is a Hammam; it's an extra charge and there isn't anyone to man it.  There isn't a single TV onsite that works; they don't have a service contract in place. The AC in the room is not reliable. It works fine on occasion, but shuts off and will not turn on again on others.  The site says they accept credit cards - they DO NOT. This was communicated via text the night before we were to check in. Be prepared to bring cash or to do a wire transfer at check out. The owner of this establishment has clearly either run into financial troubles or decided not to maintain this property.

Our room was nice. It was clean; it was spacious yet cozy. The traditional Moroccan salads and dishes were delicious and generous albeit limited and quite often repeated in choice. The personnel are very pleasant. The GM, David, and the Concierge,(Reynald), are treasures. They are very attentive to the guests; all requests are quickly addressed, they are both warm individuals who clearly care about their guests' experiences.

The food. The property needed some money spent on it to tidy it up cushions were old and it was all a little shabby this hotel needs modernising and a lick of paint. Sadly we also had some local cats urinate in our room so we were moved twice.

The pool was wonderful

a very lovely & peaceful place... With beautiful gardens and the idea about rooms designed as tents/caves makes it even more special! Our room was very pretty , the bed was large and comfortable, there was even a seating area. Visited with my little daughter it was her birthday trip. The staff were absolutely amazing, attentive, helpful and friendly. They even made a surprise for my daughter, left a present, sweets and a letter in our room🩷 every single one was so nice and made our holiday perfect. Definitely highly recommend to everyone and wish we could return. Thank you from Cindy and Lea

It would be good to have tea/coffee and a kettle in the tents [really lovely accommodation].

The whole resort is so beautiful. All I could hear during the day was bird song and the palms rustling in the breeze. At night the bull frogs croaked and the sky was full of stars. An absolutely delightful place to relax. I highly recommend Les Jardins D'issil!

"Absolutely unacceptable dining experience at this hotel. The food was mediocre at best and the prices were exorbitant. On top of that, they only accepted cash which added to the frustration. I am extremely unhappy with the service and do not recommend it to anyone."
