Hi Susie,
We wanted to write anyway to say what a lovely stay we had at the Riad. The staff were really helpful and friendly (and rather amusing at times!) and is was a fantastic base to retreat back to when the mopeds got too much. So, just to say thanks for that and we'd definitely come to you and recommend you to anyone we know visiting Marrakech.

Just writing to say we had a lovely time in your RIAD. Brahim and the staff were lovely ,nice and relaxed and really seemed to be enjoying their work. We ended up having three meals in , all of which were lovely and the breakfasts were outstanding. Its always one of our measures on how we judge a country by the nature of the breakfast and its always really nice to eat things like the honey pancakes which we've never had anywhere else in the world. Marrakech was interesting, to say the least, and overall we loved it , albeit with a few reservations about some of the 'realistic' street life. We only let our guard down once however and at least did get to see the tanneries at close quarters even though we didn't know that we wanted to. Second time it happened we were 'once bitten' and managed to give our new Berber best friend the slip. All in all an unique and startling place and just what we were looking for.

> My time at Riad El Arsa was magical. You made everything so easy from booking accommodation, to transport to arranging dinner, not to mention the belly dancer for my birthday dinner.
I would like to pass on a special thank you to the staff who made my birthday, and my stay in Marrakech, a memorable one. They were all so kind, friendly and more than willing to assist us. Without a doubt, the food deserves a special mention. It was so yummy, tasty and in short, to die for.
thanks you all for making me feel special and fall in love with Morocco.
Actually we loved the Riad so much that we recommended it to our friend Andy who is staying there as I type.
Thanks again and you can be sure that if I return to Marrakech I'll be staying here and if any of my friends decide to visit, I'll recommend Riad el Arsa.
