If the Royal Mansour is the place the Royals keep, then El Fenn is the place the cool youngsters, the artists, the designers, the we’re cool however you may sit with us crowd go.
Situated even nearer to the medina, it feels very a lot part of it. Blink and also you’ll nearly miss the doorway by the boutique. Whereas not the primary entrance, it’s the extra handy entrance and the one we used for essentially the most half.
The Boutique and its colours provide you with a way of what to anticipate, wealthy colours, intricate design, and world artwork (not simply Moroccan artwork, however SubSaharan artwork). I’ve to say, I used to be pleasantly stunned by how a lot Black African artwork there was at El Fenn. The boutique even featured beaded masks from a Cameroonian artist.
Now, you may go for a shock or you may cherry choose your room. Each room at El Fenn is so uniquely completely different. Completely different in measurement (from teeny to tremendous expansive), completely different in colour schemes, completely different in decor however all stunning. You’ll end up each completely in love along with your area but in addition envious of the opposite rooms. If I had on a regular basis and choices, I’d attempt to expertise 2 completely different room varieties right here.
We selected a 3 bed room suite for just a few causes. One we wished as many various room decor choices, we wished area for the boys to run round, we wished extra privateness as our suite was utterly set aside and never as near the opposite rooms.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
Service was impeccable and quick, everybody was sort and the meals from the restaurant was scrumptious. They’re actually good at sharing the place to go and issues to do, and their resort issued journal gave us so many nice concepts, so be certain to learn it.
We had just a few cleansing hiccups (want the rug was vacuumed or swept higher) and one time they didn’t clear our meals after we requested them. I even have a factor about resort towels and I actually want theirs had been slightly higher. There are not any TV’s right here, so if that’s a factor for you, you’ve been warned, however that was high-quality for us. The occasions we wanted a distraction, we had our telephones and tablets.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Stairs are largely unavoidable in riads, that’s simply the way it goes. When you’ve got little ones that aren’t stair prepared then be certain to test that you simply’re on the bottom flooring and much more importantly that your room itself doesn’t have stairs. There may be an elevator on the property however so far as we may inform that was actually for attending to the rooftop pool and restaurant. It is usually fairly teeny, so in case you’re with a stroller, it could not work.
VERDICT
We’d return and I’d select the room Madonna stayed in, not simply because Madonna stayed there, however as a result of it actually has the most effective outdoors seating areas and it’s so pretty. I stored strolling backwards and forwards to test it out. Curiously sufficient, it isn’t one of many costlier rooms, so don’t be deterred by who’s been there earlier than.
Rooms from 300 euros and up. (costs rely on season and room measurement)
