Its amazing the difference good service can make to your experience. My wife booked a trip to Marrakech for us both. The Riad she picked was beautiful, the location could not have been much better and the suite we had was great but what made it really special were the owners, Grant and Michele.

My husband and myself and our best friends stayed with Grant and Michele for our wedding anniversary.

Could not fault Riad Assakina. It is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the Medina, a chance to lock yourself away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech life. It is run by an English couple, Michelle and Grant, who treat you as friends and are always on hand to help or advise and the staff they employ are... More
