The hype
Kids think it's paradise; parents think it's a bit tired and the food is repetitive.
Eden Andalou Suites, Aquapark & Spa
$140-220/ nat
Bestil hvis You have energetic kids, a moderate budget, and prioritize water slides over white-glove service.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Massive aquapark with 19 slides (a rarity for the price)
- Spacious suites (44m²+) that actually fit families of 5
- Free shuttle to the Medina saves you the $15 taxi fare
Hurtig oversigt: A chaotic, fun, all-inclusive factory that feels more like a budget theme park than a 5-star Moroccan palace.
Anmeldt af @bodyprism_: My husband booked this blindly, so I was panicked! But honestly? We loved it. The food is average, but the entertainment team is incredible—my son even met 'Michael Jackson'. If you need a stress-free family trip where the kids are constantly entertained, this is it.

Reality check
The '5-star' rating is a technicality based on amenities, not quality—expect 3.5-star service and maintenance.
- Your kids need constant entertainment and water slides
- You want an all-inclusive deal that won't break the bank
- You need a single room that sleeps 2 adults and 3 kids comfortably
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
5.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily service happens, but floors often remain dusty and corners are missed.
- Bathroom hygiene: The weakest link. Grout often looks gray/moldy, and drains can smell musty. Fixtures are dated.
- Maintenance: High wear and tear. Chipped tiles, peeling laminate, and flickering lights are common.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often described as 'crunchy' or graying. Bedding is clean but worn.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of jasmine/cleaning product; hallways can smell of damp or food; rooms sometimes have a stale AC smell.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the aquapark actually heated?
Partially. In winter (Nov-March), usually one slide pool and one main pool are heated, but guests often complain it's barely lukewarm.
Can I walk to restaurants nearby?
No. You are on a highway (Route d'Amezmiz). The nearest civilization is the Noria Golf Club, which is a drive, not a walk.
Is the WiFi good enough for work?
Risky. It's free but spotty. Good for WhatsApp, frustrating for video calls. Buy a local eSIM at the airport.
How much is a taxi to the Medina if I miss the shuttle?
Expect to pay 150-200 MAD ($15-$20) one way. Negotiate hard before getting in.
Is alcohol included?
Yes, if you book the All-Inclusive package, but it's local spirits and beer only. Don't expect top-shelf brands.
Are there bed bugs?
Isolated reports exist (e.g., July 2025 review). It's not an infestation, but inspect your mattress seams immediately upon entry.
Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Le Fes' a la carte restaurant is included once per stay—book it immediately upon arrival or you won't get a table.
- ✨
Breakfast coffee is instant machine grade; go to the lobby bar for a slightly better espresso (might cost extra depending on your band).
- ✨
The 'Snack Bar' by the pool has pizza/paninis if you miss the main buffet lunch hours.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The '6 Riads' layout is confusing; you might walk 10 minutes just to get from your room to the pool.
💡The indoor pool is often dominated by paid swimming lessons or spa guests, making it less 'family free-for-all'.
💡You have to wear a wristband the entire stay, and they are strict about checking it.
💡The 'Animation Team' is relentless—if you lie by the main pool, you will be asked to join water aerobics.
💡There are no kettles/coffee makers in standard rooms, only in the higher-tier suites.
