Pentagoet
10.0Impeccable, Authentic Moroccan Escape with Personable Hospitality
Piaciuto di piùMorocco has a certain magic to it, and Riad Kaiss by Anika has no shortage of this enchanting character. The riad arranged our pick-up from the Marrakech airport and a bellhop met us out on the street to show us the way through the winding streets. Down an unassuming alleyway, a door opened to the gorgeous world of Kaiss. Gorgeous tilework, burbling fountains, painted doors and ceilings, hidden passageways. We were greeted by the lovely Naoual who not only gave us some refreshing mint tea and cookies but proceeded to give us a very thorough map tour of the medina and to help us plan out our week. She was our go-to person for the week we stayed at Kaiss. We arrived early, so we were shown to our room after a brief wait. The room (number 6) was immaculate. Authentic and stunning Moroccan design details, fabulous views of the interior courtyard, excellent linens and comfortable beds (necessary after busy walking days), and wonderful bath amenities. Daily housekeeping ensures that the room stays fresh during the whole stay. Breakfasts were a great way to start the day with little tastes of Morocco—msemen, harira, fruit, fresh juices, eggs, and excellent coffee. Set in the courtyard with birdsong, it was just the way to start the day. The rooftop also features wonderful qubbas and expansive views. The sense of hospitality is impeccable, and we only wish we could've stayed longer!
