El Olivar Palace Marrakech

This hotel is definitely not a palace , nor a 5 stars. Even if the staff is welcoming (one of the women who was serving eggs for breakfast was not at all) the building is old, the carpets are dirty, some parts of the buildings are not clean at all. The inside pool was not open and it was not mentioned when I book the stay. The snacks and a large part of the buffet is made only was very simple ingredients and dishes. The dessert part offer is only small bits of cake and ice cream are not quality. The best moment was the breakfast with the omelette side. The donut/ sfeng side for snack was good.

We absolutely loved our stay at El Olivar Palace in Marrakesh! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the grandeur and beauty of the resort. The rooms are incredibly spacious—truly fit for a palace—and immaculately clean. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure comfort and relaxation. It’s a very kid-friendly place, which made our stay stress-free and enjoyable as a family. The water slides are a huge hit with the children—they were entertained for hours! There’s also plenty of open space for kids to run around safely. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay—extremely polite, warm, and always eager to help. Their friendly nature made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The food options were excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious dishes to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for local Moroccan flavors or international cuisine, there’s something for everyone. Another big plus is the resort’s location—just a short drive from the airport, which is perfect after a long journey. The gardens and outdoor areas are beautifully maintained, creating a peaceful and relaxing environment. The pool area is also stunning, with plenty of loungers and shaded spots to unwind. Altogether, El Olivar Palace exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already looking forward to coming back again. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Marrakesh!

I never usually write reviews, but I felt I had to share how wonderful our experience was at this hotel in Marrakech. From the moment we arrived, the service was prompt and welcoming. Reception staff were polite and made us feel at home straight away. Sara from customer relations was especially accommodating and made sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and truly gives you those relaxing holiday vibes — from the stunning pool area to the stylish surroundings. Our room was spacious, cleaned every day, and absolutely spotless — we had no issues at all with cleanliness or comfort. Overall, the whole experience was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Very good option for families who are looking for an all inclusive hotel

Very good hotel for families

Lovely hotel. Clean extremely comfortable room with AC and streaming services on the TV for times when you need to get out of the heat. The pool is glorious. I had the best massage of my life in the wonderful spa. If I'd had the funds I'd have gone to the spa every day!! The staff are really helpful. It's a really chilled and peaceful vibe. I'd highly recommend. If I had one suggestion it would be around accommodating plant based/vegan/vegetarian guests. If there had been houmous on the breakfast buffet I'd probably never have left! Disregard the negative reviews. This is a stunning sanctuary slightly out of the hussle and bustle of Marrakech. It seems to attract really mellow guests so it was great not being surrounded by noisy drunk holiday makers. I can't thank the staff enough for making our stay so glorious.

Just come back yesterday from El Olivar and what I can tell........it's absolutely amazing 😍😍 First bar staff 5 ⭐ Animation team 5 ⭐ Restaurant food 5 ⭐ Cleaning service 5 ⭐ Everything nice and swimming pool is very clean is well...about location can't tell anything because for myself if I want completely chill out I stay in hotel. Thanks again for everything definitely comeback 😎👍🥂🥂🥂💯

The stay was nice. It was especially made better with the hard work and attention to detail of Youssef S. who works at the snack bar at the hotel. We thank him very much for doing everything to make us feel welcomed and tended to. He was not the only one but he was the one who stood out most with his excellent service.

Amazing hotel absolutely beautiful, the staff members are friendly, very helpful and will make sure you’re happy with your stay. The swimming pool is very clean and rooms beautiful and clean. MUSTAFA the receptionist amazing thank you so much for your help The food is amazing I would highly recommend doing all inclusive. 10/10 I will be coming back on the future inshallah

Before coming here I had read a few reviews previously that made me a little anxious as what to expect. However, it was the complete opposite and as someone quite rightly said the “Karen reviews”. We were greeted warmly at the reception by Sara who identified herself as the point of contact for any issues or customer liaison. The friendly reception with another member of staff taking our belongings and showing us to our room was a great start after a long day of travel. We were given an itinerary of meal times, etc. The food throughout my stay was really good, my special highlight was the BBQ at lunch and dinner. My wife, who by her own admission is a fussy eater, managed to eat every day and enjoyed it. Our service by Acharaf who was there for most of our meal times was nothing short of exceptional, especially when he knew my fondness of the BBQ, bringing over a full plate of the best bits. We found the hotel to have a very relaxing atmosphere by the pool with a good mix of nationalities, the main being French, Moroccan and British. The snack bar was always fully stocked with refreshments and we had zero issues getting a drink (the beer “Stork” was really good and my wife enjoyed the white wine) and we were also brought meats, cheese and olives as little light bites while we were relaxing by the pool. Youssef, Mehdi and a lady (whose name I didn’t catch but she worked in the lounge bar as well) ensured we never went without. The evening entertainment was a huge highlight with Mehdi (a second mehdi but not sure of the spelling). This guy is probably one of the most talented linguists I have ever come across. He spoke fluent Arabic, French and English which helped the different nationalities mingle while we played games in the evening. On one of the nights, an Italian family had just arrived and he managed to get them to join in, in perfect Italian. Is there a language this man doesn’t know!? He was an absolute credit to the hotel. The hotel entertainment team were always about during the day getting us to play games by the pool such as darts, bowls, table tennis, etc. They were all great guys as well and were there in the evening to help with the entertainment. We did the free shuttle bus to Marrakech one on of the days and it was extremely straight forward and spent a few hours at Jemma el-Fnaa markets which was an experience in itself to say the least. We did however manage to buy some lovely things but when it got too much we retired to the sky bar to get away from the crowds which had some breathtaking views. There are so many positive things I could say about this hotel and after talking to other holiday makers there, they were all made up with the hotel and having a really good time. Oh, and at the end while we were waiting for our transfer to the airport, nobody cut off our all-inclusive wristbands and we were allowed to continue enjoying the bar until we left. We were even able to take some water with us which was needed in the heat. I would like to thank El Olivar Palace for a wonderful stay and those whose names I have mentioned above. I can’t wait to come back!
