We had an absolutely amazing experience at TUl Blue Medina Gardens! The food was fantastic, the taff were super professional and friendly, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. A special mention to the entertainment team, especially Black, who truly made our stay unforgettable! Without him, it wouldn' have been the same. We came here for our honeymoon and had the best time ever. We'll definitely be coming back, and honestly, more young people should visit this resort because it's such a great place to relax and have fun!

Our time at TUI Blue Medina Gardens was truly unforgettable. Everything from the meals to the service exceeded our expectations. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. I especially want to highlight the entertainment team, Black stood out in the best possible way and added something really special to our trip. We chose this place for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. We enjoyed every moment and would love to return. It’s a fantastic destination for younger travelers as well and ideal for both relaxation and fun!

First trip to Morocco, had the most amazing 10 days. The hotel was beautiful and the house keeping was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was great. The bar staff especially Hanna, who was always making sure we had drinks and loved a chat! Okey-dokey is a great asset to the team as well :)

First impressions of the hotel were really good and the staff are all very polite and lovely. As we arrived after the restaurant had closed they kept it open for us with a small selection available to be able to eat after a long journey, which was nice. The sunbeds are a bone of contention. The hotel states that you cannot reserve beds and anyone that does will have their towels removed. This doesn't happen, so if you want a bed by the pool be prepared to get up early or wait for something to become available. Having said that, as long as you don't mind not being by the pool there are beautiful gardens that have lots of loungers dotted around the place. The food was disappointing there was no cohesion to the dishes being put together and on themed nights, the food was quite bizarre. We had a seafood night but there were only 3 dishes on offer! Fried fish (which was there every day anyway), salmon and a seafood stew, which was only luke warm. The chefs dish of the day was braised beef and mash potatoes, on seafood night....! They say the sheets are changed once per week but ours weren't, so we had to request they be changed after 9 days. I personally wouldn't go back to this hotel, and even people that had been going there for years said this is the worst it's been.

I don’t usually write long reviews, but after my experience here I feel people deserve an honest picture of what’s been happening. My partner and I stayed at the end of October, and like so many other guests we became unwell shortly after arrival. Every day there were more and more people with the same symptoms. Despite this, both the hotel and TUI kept saying there was “no issue,” which was honestly the most upsetting and frustrating part. When you’re sick in a foreign country, you just want honesty and reassurance — not denial. There were also quite a few hygiene concerns that I couldn’t ignore. Hand sanitiser stations left empty for days even after reporting them, people entering the kitchen area without any PPE or gloves, and tables being “cleaned” by brushing crumbs off the same linen instead of replacing it. When you’re unwell and unsure what’s causing it, seeing things like that really knocks your confidence. I do want to mention that some staff were genuinely lovely. A couple of the chefs went out of their way to cook plain food for me when I couldn’t eat anything else, and housekeeping were so kind bringing extra toilet roll and clean towels when I needed them. Their kindness really stood out during a very stressful week. It’s a real shame because the hotel itself is lovely. The grounds are beautiful, the location is great for getting into Marrakech, and it’s very handy for the airport. But between the lack of transparency, the ongoing sickness, and the hygiene issues I witnessed, our holiday ended up being more about managing symptoms, eating extremely plain food, and trying not to get worse — rather than actually relaxing or enjoying any of the amenities we went there for. I truly hope TUI and the hotel take this seriously, because what’s happening here is not normal and guests deserve better. This place has potential to be amazing, but the issues we experienced were impossible to ignore.
