TUI BLUE Medina Gardens

We spent a week here in October having been here 2 years ago when it clearly needed some TLC. Wow what a change! Clearly a TUI concept well executed by the hotel management and now offering much improved facilities.The room was up to date and modern with a large bed and good air-conditioning and had a decent size balcony to enjoy in an evening with a drink as the sun went down. The lobby bar was a new area in the hotel from when were last here and was a welcome change as it was easy to get a seat and there was no long queue at the bar plus waitress service if you wanted. There is also a nice garden area at the rear of the bar to sit and enjoy a drink or two before going into dinner. We had a wonderful meal in the a la carte restaurant and a good variety of food both international and Moroccan in the main restaurant. The previous time we stayed we ate outside as the restaurant was very dark and unappealing but now it is much lighter helped by the large full height glazed windows which make it feel like you are outside but with air-conditioning! Everything about it helped make for a relaxing time especially the friendly staff throught the hotel who could not be faulted in my opinion. Special mention of Widad Sidqui who was our wonderful waitress in the restaurant bringing us pots of hot water for our cups or tea before we had to ask (could not locate any decaf tea though throughout the hotel). We can only agree with all the positives already mentioned in other reviews (although poor reviews would have meant we could keep this wonderful hotel all to ourselves!!). Special mention also to Nick our TUI representative and Sonia in guest relations. Little touches are good in this hotel and we received a letter welcoming us back again which was appreciated. We missed out on the new roof top bar which was not completed at the time so would welcome any feedback on this as we believe it to be premium drinks and with access to outsiders which gave us some concern. The best recommendation we can make is that we intend going back again this year!!

We booked this as a winter break and could not fault it for the money. The food was fantastic with a wide range of local and international cuisine. The staff where very attentive and the hotel itself is very clean and well kept. They have created a really relaxed environment at the adult only hotel and we felt at home and welcome the entire stay. We both had a treatment from the Blue Spa at the hotel and it was one of the highlights of the whole trip. We had a traditional Hammam treatment from Hamane and a massage each from Hayat and Menyeu. All the girls where very professional and we both recieved great treatments. I would definitely recommend get a treatment if you stay here. The also have a Hookah cafe in the evenings called the Moorish Cafe. We tried this on the second night for 150MAD. We really enjoyed it and the waiter was great. He kept us supplied with drinks and the hookah topped up all evening. We did a few of the trips through the Tui rep and these where really well put together. The guided tour around the souks was worth its money as we would definitely of got lost walking around there on our own. All in all the trip was amazing. We have a bit of a rule about going to the same place twice as theres so much to see in the world but I think with this hotel will likely be an exception.

Checked into hotel with a lovely welcome. Hotel immaculate, this is our second visit. We were very pleased with our room as we were upgraded to a swim up pool room. The room is very spacious and would definitely pay the extra for this room. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. We love this hotel. Currently sat on our private terrace with a glass of Prosecco Book this hotel you will be very impressed x
