Jnane Tamsna

This is a fabulous hotel a short taxi ride from Marrakesh. Wonderful, helpful staff, really good family villas, good food, lovely gardens and several swimming pools. The owner is charming and everyone goes out of their way to be as helpful as possible. A really authentic Moroccan experience, ideal for families with children. You’d be hard pushed to find fault with it. Highly recommended.

I spent four wonderful nights at Jnane Tamsna and was completely enchanted. Tucked away in the Palmeraie, the hotel blends peaceful gardens, elegant design, and warm Moroccan hospitality. My room was stylish and serene, meals were fresh and flavorful, and the staff made me feel truly at home. It’s more than a hotel—it’s a soulful retreat that invites rest, reflection, and inspiration. I can’t wait to return. If you are planning a visit to Marrakech, Morroco don't let this Tranquil Oasis pass you by!

The photographs are indeed accurate—the place is undeniably beautiful and tastefully decorated. However, it falls far short of what one would reasonably expect from a luxury hotel. We leave with the distinct impression that the primary aim is to capitalise on the tourist rather than to offer a truly refined experience. Drawbacks: The location is remarkably inconvenient—30 minutes from virtually anywhere. We ended up spending €100 per day on taxis (€25 per ride into town, €45 to the airport), not to mention the added hassle of pre-arranging transport and constantly watching the clock. As for the much-promoted notion of 'simple luxury' Regrettably, what we experienced leaned The hotel claims to offer “simple luxury,” yet the experience feels more sparse than elegant: In room amenities were minimal to the point of being perfunctory: merely shampoo and shower gel, no body lotion, conditioner, or any additional touches one would reasonably expect. Breakfast was particularly underwhelming while the fresh orange juice was indeed a delight, the rest of the offering was surprisingly spartan. There is no fresh fruit, only a basic fruit salad (apple, kiwi, banana). The jam is industrial, the salads are pre-packaged (à la Florette), and only accompanied by tomato and cucumber. No charcuterie, merely a rather unpleasant ham and a mediocre cheese. Pastry selection is limited to four types of Moroccan bread, croissants, and pancakes. Eggs are offered only upon request—fried or scrambled. We dined at the hotel on our first evening and were thoroughly disappointed, particularly considering the €50 per person price tag. In summary, if one is to charge premium rates, a certain level of quality must be delivered. The intent to remain modest due to the surrounding socioeconomic context is understandable, but it does not justify neglecting basic standards of comfort and service. Luxury need not be ostentatious, but it must, at the very least, be thoughtful and complete.

We spent our last day of 6 in Marrakesh here, enjoying the excellent pool and lunch package before our evening flight. 400 MAD gets you access to this beautiful place, a bed by the pool, a wonderful warm welcome, attentive service and a first class lunch. Ouelid was incredibly accommodating and organised our shuttle back to the airport. The best possible end to an incredible stay in Marrakesh

Stayed at Jnane Tamsna during a Moroccan vacation. I wish I stayed longer. Beautiful room, more like an apartment. The food was plentiful and delicious. The dining room during dinner felt like an upscale restaurant with it decor, lighting and service. I will return with my SO for a nice romantic vacation. The owners are onsite and met with the guests, great conversations. A writer's retreat was ending while I was there. I spoke with one of the writers who raved about the retreat. If there are aspiring writers thinking of a great retreat it sounded like Jnane Tamsna is a must. Beautiful, blissful and worth it.

An amazing oasis of peace and relaxation. We went for a day visit and ended up staying for a few nights at the end of our week in Marrakesh. It was the perfect way to end a lively week. The rooms pools food staff hosts guests and grounds were amazing. And just 15 minutes from the centre. Will never forget the rooftop dinner we enjoyed with all the other guests nor the amazing room we stayed in. So much more to see and do in Morocco and next time we visit we will come back and stay at this special place.
