There are 2 restaurants - a Moroccan and an international. You have to book a couple of days in advance.
We had drinks beforehand in a small bar with great atmosphere. Once they had a jazz pianist, the other just piped music. The food in the Moroccan was good, but we could have ordered one meal between the two of us. The atmosphere was good and it was pleasant.
Another day we went to the International restaurant. You could choose between Moroccan and international style. We felt the food in this restaurant was better. The atmosphere, too was better. It was outside and more vibrant.
Both were enjoyable, but the international has, in our opinion, the edge.

I cannot say enough good things about this establishment. It is absolutely stunning, service impeccable, food and beverages excellent. One of the finest boutique hotel in which I have stayed. We spent a lot of time in the bar, dined in the poolside restaurant, took the shuttle to their country club, and used the spa. We booked late and got the last room available at the time. It was super small, so we inquired if there might be something bigger. They moved us twice, so each night we slept in a different room, which was actually kind of fun and we were able to experience a range of rooms. Bigger is better but all three rooms were immaculate and the staff moved our belongings each day, so we just collected a new key upon our return from a day exploring the awesome city of Marrakech. Thank you for a stand out experience!
