Having now stayed at Riad Villa Blanche, I would first like to address some previous guests negative comments: 1. Could have been closer to the beach/was a long way from the centre - I find this incredulous in the internet era. When you are searching for your destination hotel/riad there is always a map location tab, use it to avoid disappointment. It’s a 5 min walk to beach and 10 min taxi to the Souk!! However, once at the riad, I did not want or need to leave. (I'm a frequent Morocco visitor anyway) 2. The food and drink is expensive/ the menu is only in French - You are staying in a 4* hotel in a French speaking, non drinking country. All the staff speak English. Why not find it exotic and sexy and use your AI phone to translate the menu or ask a waiter, the staff are superb. ( I didn’t think it was expensive, about right) Now for my review. This place is pure escapism if you are, dare I say, of the more well travelled and cultured fraternity. For those of you that are, you will understand when I say it has a perfect blend of faded grandeur and elegance, with modern functioning facilities. There is even a very discrete modern touch button elevator. Sure the paint is peeling a bit. This makes it just right. We gladly pay money to buy this look as ornaments and furniture, why criticise it in its rightful place. If you want sharp, go to Dubai (and then see what they charge you for food and cocktails) The staff are so attentive, polite and always smiling, and the facilities and environment are some of the best I’ve experienced. It's super clean everywhere and there is a lot to clean. You get robes, slippers, chocolates on your pillow every night and candles lit at turndown. There are so many nooks and seating areas to find and enjoy a different perspective from. I loved chilling on the day bed after a hard day in the sun around the pool. The spa was lovely, with its low lighting and muted mantra melodies.

My only comment from the Deluxe room I was in 312 compared to other Riads, is this room was functionally furnished and did not have the true exotic feel of riad once inside (bedroom only) bathroom is typical. Some of the other room photos, look more culturally furnished. I am going to return with my wife and I would want it to feel more romantic, but I have others to compare it to on this aspect. The black out curtains worked really well

Amazing , luxurious and as good as photos . Good food and friendly staff .

There was no kettle in the room and only black and mint tea available at the bar . We weee staying in the suite and I would expect Nespresso machine and kettle with choice of various teas as standard. Also there was no an English translates menu in the restaurant , only French .

The staff were extremely helpful. The room comfortable with the perfect balcony to watch the amazing sunsets. We loved both pools, the outdoor pool was refreshing and the indoor pool like a warm bath. Short walk to the beautiful beach. Couldn’t of been better, we highly recommend Le Riad Villa Blanche.

Absolutely stunning Riad, has everything you could possibly want and need and you really never would need to leave to hotel other than to goto the beach if you so pleased.

Although the staff were friendly they didn’t seem as accommodating or welcoming as some of the other Riads or places I have been. The bed although being very large is not all that comfortable and the location is relatively speaking far away from “tourist activities”. I think the property should be around the $100 a night mark instead of $150 but I’m nitpicking.

The decor was exceptional. The hotel was tastefully decorated and beautifully traditionally. Incredible smell throughout. Entire hotel alight with candles at night time. Secluded pool. We had a huge room with balcony overlooking the pool and out to sea. We ate in the restaurant twice and the food was excellent. Turndown of bedrooms was accompanied by candles in the bedroom and bathroom and flower petals around the bath.

The water wasn't so hot in the late afternoon/early evening.

Gorgeous property, pool and restaurant facilities were exceptional. Great food at the restaurant and staff there super helpful and friendly. Everything seemed clean and well maintained, our room was big and comfortable, and quiet. Felt like a luxury riad.

Front desk wasn’t super helpful with local recommendations, and the services at the spa felt rushed and a bit weird. Not a super comfortable experience.

beautiful peaceful fragrant and calm

spa was having work done so limited availability but lovely staff & Eid to consider, wasn’t an issue as such

Absolutely stunning place very relaxing, small touches , we arrived to cake in the room, xmas eve a small special gift and candles lit, small chocolates on our pillow every evening with curtains drawn room spruced up just perfect !!

Loved it all to be honest the pictures do not do the place justice.

It is an absolute beaut of a place, gorgeous, elegant, yet relaxed and low key. Everywhere you look, there is something gorgeous, it’s a feast for the eyes. It smells divine throughout, fresh roses everywhere. The staff are all impeccable, I don’t have a single complaint. The food is amazing.

Nothing.

Ambience,staff,decor, food.

Perhaps restaurant and bar can get very busy but that is a sign of success so not a big deal. I think that if a resident asks to book in for dinner at a set time it might be best to write their names in to the booking system so as to avoid risk if being unable to cope with too many bookings .
