What else the research turned up

Things to know before you book

  • Royal Mansour is not an all-inclusive beach resort; it belongs in the database as an ultra-luxury city resort and riad compound.
  • The strongest reasons to book are privacy, craftsmanship, service, spa and access to Marrakech rather than resort-style beach amenities.
  • Pricing is extremely high, so it is best suited to travelers who specifically value the private-riad concept.

What guests say

Most loved

  • Private riads and craftsmanship
  • Service and privacy
  • Spa and wellness facilities
  • Gardens, design and sense of place

Most common complaints

  • Dining value can be subjective at ultra-luxury pricing

Things people wish they had known

From Reddit
