We stayed at the Kasbah Tiwaline in June 2010 and would like to share our experience with you.
The Kasbah, per se, is a beautiful place to stay at, far away from the maddening Medina. Far far away from the noisy Marrakech and, above all, far far far away from all the smog.
The whole complex consists of three separate Kasbahs, each with a pool and a garden area. Anyhow, not all the pools were working and we had to demand to have our room changed. The rooms are rather dark and there are some amenities missing that the web sites and Jeremy, the owner, promised the room would be equipped with. There is no proper light, which is not a big problem after all, but a safe was promised and was not there. Unless they use big ceramic pots for safes. The rooms are also quite shabby. The bed I was sleeping in hardly held together and the first room we were offered smelled as if someone just switched off a big 100 years old generator in there and one look in the shower corner would make a fine stomach turn around.
The restaurant that promised a choice of local and international dishes was nothing but a communal kitchen, where food was served three times a day under the motto: you eat what the staff eat. No choice whatsoever, breakfast was always the same, bread, pancakes and jam every single morning. dinner was served at €16 per person and, what is interesting, you only get soup, one plate with the starter and one plate with the main dish to share. Being so far from Marrakech we did not have much choice but have dinners there. The food was nice, though the price was quite steep for what you were actually getting. The same with the overall service. Not being French, as we noticed, we were ignored every time we came to the restaurant. We always had to wait at the table for at least 15 minutes, while the owners were comfortably sitting and browsing internet and eventually we had to order ourselves from the absolutely lovely local staff, Mustafa, Fatima and Aziz right through the kitchen window. Whenever, though French guests came in, the owners, also French, were jumping with joy and attending to them within seconds. The music in the restaurant started playing as soon the French guests arrived, the same with the fountain. One can simply not overlook this, especially being the only non-French couple there...
Also, be careful with the final bill, better keep a record of everything you eat and drink as we were overcharged for wine we never had. On one bill we were charged a special tax which somehow never applied on the other bill. So better double check your bills.
Overall, although a very nice place to stay, the very disturbing service from the owners sometimes made us feel unwelcome and regret the choice. For the money you end up paying, you can easily afford a 5-star hotel in the new town of Marrakech, as we later found out from fellow travellers.

At first we were a bit hesitant to stay 13 km from the center of Marrakech. In hindsight, we are very glad we did! The Kasbah was the perfect place to relax and unwind after experiencing the chaos of Marrakech. The room we had was beautifully decorated and very spacious, as well as clean and comfortable! A short distance from our room was a well-maintained pool with lounge chairs, pool towels and hats. It was heaven lying under the shade of the umbrella with occasional dips into the pool to cool off (in the 40C heat). The grounds were gorgeous...we were amazed at how they were able to keep all the plants alive in such extreme heat. The food (lunch and dinner) was probably the best we had in Marrakech. Of the 5 days we spent there, 3 of them we ate at the Kasbah. Hats of to the cook! Finally, the staff (particularly Aziz) were incrediblly kind and helpful. We highly recommend the Kasbah. Don't let the distance from center prevent you from booking here. First of all, they offer very affordable transfer service (10 Euros/room/day). Secondly, you wouldn't regret having such a beautiful, relaxing place to go back to after spending time in the chaos of Marrakech.

4 of us stayed in one of the Kasbahs for 3 nights at the end of May 2010, before we ventured into the medina for 4 nights. There are 3 separate kasbahs (fortified houses) each with a terrace (upper) suite, a garden suite and a double room. We had both suites in Kasbah 'Ayour'. This place is set in the Palmeriae area on the outskirts of Marrakech and is away from the hustle and bustle. Great for a relaxing trip before the madness of the medina! The staff were friendly and helpful - I think they are in the process of changing ownership as Jeremy and his brother seemed to be taking over.

The whole kasbah complex is visually stunning, although rustic - and the suites were large and full of traditional furniture and architecture. Each kasbah has a pool and ours was the better of the three (one seemed to be shut at the time we were there and we got a few couples turning up at our pool). Lovely quiet rural setting with a view of the Atlas mountains and many birds in the gardens (three owls were a regular feature at the back of the kasbah!)

The restaurant was lovely with a big open air centre with a pond and huge fireplace (not lit when we were there!). Food good- but no choice- you just ask for lunch or dinner and enjoy the surprise! We ate very well with four courses for 10 Euro for lunch and 16 Euro for dinner. Alcohol is served and is about 4 Euro for a Casablanca beer and 10-14 Euro for a bottle of wine.

There is a minibus service which we didn't use, to the medina for 10 Euro per day per room with about 5 trips during the day and up to about 11 at night. We did one trip while we where there which Aziz organised- a camel trip to a berber house. The trip is done from a place about 5 minutes car ride and cost 25 Euro each. It was well worth it - we were on the camels for about 2 hours with a stop at a fantastic berber house for snacks and mint tea- didn't feel like a tourist trap at all and our guide (Eddie Murphy) really made the trip for us.

The only slight negative I would say about this place is that the rooms were dark and there was no place to hang clothes or any drawers to unpack in. Not a major problem. Also - check your bill as we didn't and found out later that we had been charged for a lunch that we didn't have! (Oh well, live and learn)!

We stayed in April 2007. A wonderful stay for two nights away from the bustle of Marrakech. Host was wonderful. Dinner was very intimate in the tent style dining room. The kasbhs were very cool and comfortable and what you would envision when you thing of Morocco. The bathrooms - very nice. A great place - would love to return for a week.
