We found a place called Caravan Serai just outside Marrakech with a heated pool. We took a taxi (about £10 return) and arrived in a very quiet, lovely place. It is a hotel with a couple of rooms and a decent size swimming pool. We had to pay to use the swimming pool for the day (£15), but this included a very nice lunch. Worth a visit if you want to chill out a day in hectic Marrakech.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18221 Dar Tassa guesthouse http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17066
Mohammed guided us through the mountains. He spoke English very well and was very kind and told us everything we would like to know

The food was a highlight: they made us some of the best veggie tagines we've had in Morocco and only wish we'd had longer to savour the peace and tranquility of the place.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17066 Grand Tazi Hotel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10573 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10573 Les Bains des Marrakech http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10482 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10482 Restaurant Argana http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10424 Also, if you're in Marrakech for more than a few days, escape to the coast to Essaouira. It's a few hours drive away but well worth it, fabulously laid back, with a European hippyish feel to it, this is the place to chill with a beer and watch the sunset over the Atlantic.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10424 Kasbah du Toubkal http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6745
Fantastic walks in the mountains - including Mt Toubkal and great to soak in the hamman afterwards. Has upmarket rooms, but the cheaper dorms were good enough for me and four others.

Best time to go apparently is October or November, though was great at New Year.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6745 Les Bains de Marrakech http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6531 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6531
