“Lush Retreat Outside of the City”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

The grounds of this hotel are stunningly gorgeous, exactly what a place with the word mandarine in its name should look like. Interior courtyard is very lush and green, does not feel like you are in a hotel at all. We had a nice outdoor patio with our ground floor room, citrus trees all around us. And loved the peacocks walking around in the gardens.

As we were soon to experience throughout Morocco, the service was fantastic, we felt very taken care of. We had dinner at the hotel and it was very good. My first real tagine did not disappoint.-

I would say only con (a slight con) is that you are in the suburbs of Rabat, so unless you have a car you are confined to the hotel. We were there only 1 night and our guide picked us up the next morning so it was no big deal, but if you plan to see Rabat for more than a day then better to find a place in/near the main city area.

“For a relaxing weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

The hotel, surrounded by gardens and an orange grove, is perfect for a weekend away. The rooms are large, well decorated, and very comfortable. With its spa, fitness room, pool, restaurant and bar, the hotel has everything anyone could need to refresh and relax. The breakfast was very good with cooked to order eggs and a wonderful variety of breads. Lunch and dinner were fine though not outstanding. The only caution I would have about the hotel is the distance from any other Rabat attractions. Without a car, visiting Rabat is time-consuming as the hotel has to call a taxi and the wait may be as long as half an hour. For anyone wanting a respite from the hustle and bustle of normal tourism, the hotel is fantastic and shouldn't be missed.

Room Tip: Ground floor rooms have wonderful private terraces and give on to the inner courtyard with its fount...

“Villa Mandarine - a garden oasis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

Thsi hotel is located in the suburbs of rabat, a very bustling modern city. The hotel rooms are all different and comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by lush landscaped gardens and has beautiful comfortable community areas. The restaurant is overpriced.

“Very nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The rooms were very large with lovely private balconies. The property is in a beautiful garden setting with a lovely pool and built around a nice courtyard. We had lunch and breakfast in the restaurant and the food was nice and the service was decent.

“First stop in a 2 week vacation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012 via mobile

The accommodations are very nice, roomy with nice bathrooms. We had a great view of the jungle like garden.
The included breakfast was good. The omelette was not made to order but they had a huge selection of pastry breads. The only reason I have rated this as average is the bar. The red wine was served cold and the bartender spoke absolutely no English. I tried to order Whisky straight up and it came with ice. He never smiled and it wasn't busy. We were offered hot peanuts which were delicious.
