Hotel & Ryads Barriere Le Naoura Marrakech

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and cannot recommend it enough. The staff are all amazing – every single one of them went above and beyond to make our visit special. The breakfast team were attentive, polite, and always ensured we had everything we needed to start the day right. The pool staff were consistently friendly, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. A special mention must go to the reception team, particularly Nadia and Aya, who were absolutely fantastic. They not only made check-in and our overall stay smooth and easy, but also took the time to play with my daughter, which meant so much to us. Their kindness and warmth truly stood out. This hotel has a wonderful team, and their genuine care for guests makes it a place we would happily return to. The kids room is also helpful for kids to have somewhere to play especially with hot weather. The staff are kind there too. In all the 3/4 days we were there, I never once had a bad experience so this is something amazing!

This is a great hotel which is very well located a short walk from the main square and souks, whilst feeling like a resort. A week before our stay I was called by the hotel asking about special requests, a first for me after about 1000 hotel stays over my career. Check in experience outstanding: we arrived 40 minutes early and were shown to a sofa where staff competed formalities whilst we were given cold water. We were then told the room wouldn't be available until the advertised 3pm and they provided Moroccan tea and some pastries. At 2.40 the same staff member came with the keys to say the room was ready, took us to it and showed us round. Room 24 was lovely, with twin beds, separate bath and shower and a good area for luggage. The space was well used. Room was soundproof and had a wonderful fragrance. It had a terrace from which, with a bit of a squeeze past some scratchy plants, you could access the pool area directly. There was a quick turndown service in the evening, which would have been improved by offering to replace the towels. Pool and surrounds were exceptional. Pool was large and of variable depth, lots of sunbeds which were very comfortable and a large number of large sun shades meant you could choose a sunbed in the shade - as almost everyone did - or the sun. We made extensive use of the area. Staff were only present intermittently in the area and noone ever checked if we needed anything or offered us a drink, which we would happily have bought. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice, fresh juice and good coffee in a relaxing environment with excellent service. Poolside restaurant was lovely with excellent food. Hotel bar also very pleasant with live music. This was an almost perfect stay for us and we would love to return. This hotel is highly recommended.

I was there with my husband, who was participating in a conference. I liked the journey, especially the breakfast, it was great!

Perfect stay The reception and service staff [pool/rooms and reception] were professional and extremely courteous [impeccable] and friendly.

This hotel was a wonderful find, perfectly located in the Medina and just steps from the souks. Luxurious yet sophisticated, it felt like the ideal oasis during Marrakech’s summer heat wave. The pool was a highlight — refreshing and relaxing, with attentive poolside service that made afternoons easy and comfortable. The lunch menu was decent — nothing extraordinary, but paired with the poolside setting and genuinely friendly service, it made for an enjoyable experience. A tip for families: bring inflatables for the kids, as they’ll make pool time even more fun. Our room was spacious, beautifully comfortable, and incredibly quiet at night. Service was outstanding — from the welcome tea and dessert on arrival (such a lovely touch to start our stay) to the thoughtful attention throughout. We especially loved having two balconies, even though they didn’t face sunrise or sunset. Overall, this was a relaxing and luxurious stay, and we’d happily return.
