Rebali Riads

My partner (a wheelchair user) and I stayed in Dar Jamila and honestly cannot fault it. We had the most amazing time. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. The bed super comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt like royalty. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because I don't want anyone else to know about it so that we can go back whenever we like!

We stayed for 10 days at the end of July. Beautiful villa with pool, tennis court and spa building. The service is second to none we have experienced in Morocco - Mohammed and Fatima and the team are just wonderful. The villa is clean and the kindness and care shown to us was exemplary. The beach is unspoiled by hundreds of tourists. It does need a clean as so many horses, camels etc but if you walk further up it is better, quieter and cleaner. Overall a lovely holiday

I’d usually write fairly short reviews for places we’ve stayed as a family, but Rebali and the amazing team are well deserving of a longer review. Short summary - If you’d like to experience Morocco in a welcoming, relaxing and beautiful environment, book straight away. Longer review - we traveled here as a family during February half term. We have two teenagers, age 17 and 14. It was their first trip to Morocco. Mohammed and Fatima (and their amazing team) are the absolute cornerstone of what Rebali offers. They have entirely mastered how to provide amazing holiday service, without being overbearing. Their quiet, considerate and friendly approach perfectly matches the laid back and relaxing atmosphere of the whole place. I can’t commend the team highly enough. We stayed in one of the three bedroom villas with private pool. There’s a lot more space in the Riads than you’d imagine. The breakfasts and evening meals (if you choose to stay in to eat) are amongst the best food we’ve had in Morocco. You can have meals served in your accommodation, or at the shared outdoor dining area. The gardens and Rebali surroundings are beautiful. The three resident tortoises set the pace of life! If you want a break in the sun and a chance to kick back and do very little, Rebali is ideal. There are also plenty of choices of things to do. Mohamed can arrange everything for you. We did quad biking on the dunes (10/10), on site Hammam (10/10) and a highlight for the whole family was spending the afternoon and evening with a local Moroccan family, cooking in their home after buying ingredients in the market. Both the kids were a bit skeptical about doing that at first - and it is probably as close as you’ll get to real Moroccan life - but they both said it was the highlight of the trip. The beach is huge and the waves are amazing for surfing. It’s about a 30 minute (100 Durham) taxi ride into Essouaria. Taxis to and from Rebali can be pre-arranged and they were always at the pick up spot to bring us back I the evening. We’ve had a lovely trip. Thank you so much to Mohamed and Fatima. This is the 17th country we’ve visited as a family and they are far and away the best hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Such kind and generous people. Tip 1: agree with the other reviews - shove your own tennis racket in your luggage if you want a game. Tip 2: spend more time here than you think you’ll need. It’s the antidote to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech.
