THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER.IT TURNS OUT INT
CAREFUL! !!
Stay away from this place
If you are lucky enough and blessed you won't stay there.
Customer service sucks!!
This property is in the middle of nowhere the taxi ride will cost you an arm and a leg to bring you from the airport or to take you to down town Kech. ..
Avoid the tents, No Internet at all, only by the poolside next to the restaurant while you re checking your emails you ll be ordering the most expensive coke, water , tea coffee and food
Their prices are much higher than 5 stars resorts
That's how they get the guests
Stuck there and far away from everything. ...
The tents are full of bugs
Plz check the attached pix
I was in shock a lizard showed up inside the tent
When you complain for the managers it 's not a big deal
If you have dust allergies don't book your stay at this property..
Ppl should be honest abt their reviews....
Beside the beauty of the pool I don't see anything positive or anything like that
Check out the pix and judge for yourselves
Hotel's. Com there is no way the property will still charge me for my night of horror, nightmare ect....

This was our perfect Moroccan escape. We came away as a couple for a relaxing few days from the city and this is exactly what we got.
The service was excellent from all the staff and we were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. The food is excellent and our room was lovely and peaceful.
The only downside was no kettle in our room.
We will definitely be returning!

Personne pour nous accueillir à la réception ... à 19h toutes les lumières étaient éteintes comme si l’etablissement Était désert .... la chambre ne correspondait pas à ce que j’avais vu en ligne au moment de la réservation !!! La chambre sentait l’humidite, la salle de bain était salle, du poil trainait encore dans le lavabo !!! Il y avait des insectes dans la chambre ... et devant tous ses éléments on a décidait de partir et de ne pas passer la nuit dans cet établissement !!! Déception totale.
Préparez vous à rouler sur une piste cahoteuse pendant 15 mn tout en traversant un quartier Pas rassurant du tout ...je ne recommande pas cet établissement ... je me suis fais avoir.

Un petit paradis
Nous avons réservé un peu sur un coup de tête à Manzil la tortue et le moins que l'on puisse dire est que nous n'avons pas été déçus !
Le personnel est très accueillant, la cuisine est délicieuse et les chambres très propres et bien tenues.
Pour tous ceux qui cherchent une experience reposante loin du tumulte du centre de Marrakech et des hôtels clinquants, nous recommandons vivement !

Un belle endroit pour un bon moment.
L'excellente surprise de notre séjour. Les tentes et chambres sont de très bonne qualité. Un soin tout particulier a été apporté au niveau de la décoration. Le personnel est à l'écoute et anticipe les besoins. Les 3 gérants associés parlent français. Ce qui facilite grandement la communication. Les repas sont dignes d'un grand restaurant (cuisine marocaine et occidentale) pour un prix abordable. L'ambiance est calme et apaisante. La piscine est un réel plus (l'entretien est fait tous les jours). Idéal pour une escapade en amoureux ou en famille.
Un grand merci à Joachim, Vincent et Greg pour leur accueil et leur professionnalisme.

Paix et sérénité
Très belle endroit calme et magnifique piscine XXL
Les espaces de verdures très bien entretenu par les équipes d'entretien
Les chambres sont bien propres seul désagrément la climatisation qui nous a fait défaut et pas de frigo à l'intérieur malgré une chaleur accablante qui avoisinait les 46 degré la journee et 30 en soirée
Les repas sont bons mais léger en quantité pour le prix
Et le détail qui nous a fait défaut le transport si vous venez dans cet havres de paix qui est situé à 11 km de la grande ville ,il vous faut un véhicule pour circuler car il n'y a pas de navette pour vous y emmener par contre on vous proposera un transfert (un chauffeur) qui vous emmene et vous ramène à tt heure à un prix très chere 40€ aller et retour ce qui nous partait très chere par rapport au niveau de vie de ce pays.
Sinon apres cela nous avons du louer un véhicule et nous avons pu voir du pays tout en profitant du calme de ce belle endroit avec sa piscine magnifique.
Cordialement.

Magnifique
Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable. Nous avons été chouchouté par toute l'équipe. Nous tenons à remercier spécialement les patrons Joaquim pour sa gentillesse, son sourire et sa disponibilité et aussi Vincent pour son humour à toute épreuve et Greg pour sa gentillesse.
Cet endroit est magnifique, la piscine est époustouflante, c'est un plaisir d'y séjourner. Nous avions choisi de dormir dans une tente et très franchement on a pas regretté, ça change et c'est très agréable, on y retrouve tout le confort d'une chambre classique.
Manzil la Tortue est idéalement situé, c'est un véritable havre de paix, c'est beau, calme on y mange bien et surtout le personnel chouchoute ses clients. Nous avons bien profité de la piscine, du jaccuzi et du mini golf.
Je conseille à tout le monde d'y séjourner.

"Rustic" get-away from Marrakech
We dropped into The Turtle out of the blue and were very nicely received, getting an upgrade because Expedia had somehow not locked down out booking. Thus, in terms of bang-for-the-buck we certainly got our share! The restaurant was very tasty--a mixture of French and Moroccan; the pool was large enough to do laps in. The one 'downside' was what The Turtle unabashedly is: a retreat from the hustle & bustle of Marrakech. Thus, rather than stay for the four nights we booked and the prospect of shuttling back and forth from the city/medina, we took the dive into town on day three, staying in a lovely intra-urban hostel, thus having our cake and eating it, too. It was a nice split.

"Un séjour au Top"
Le Manzil La tortue est un petit paradis tenu par 3 copains Greg, Vincent et Joaquim aussi pétillants que sympathiques. Nous avons adorés nos 2 semaines de mars dans cette chaleureuse maison d'hôtes où la douceur de vivre est au rendez-vous. Tout est charmant: les tentes sous les orangers parfumés, les lapins, chats et poules au milieu du potager, la piscine de 40m face à l'Atlas enneigé, la playlist de Greg et les massages à l'huile d'argan bio de Nabyl. La carte soigneusement sélectionnée par Greg est délicieuse. Les déjeuners de briouates, tajine maison du jour accompagnés par un petit Gazelle Noire ou blanche, le chapeau de paille sur la tête, la petite chatte baghera sur les genoux et les accents toulousains de nos compères ne font qu'ajouter du bonheur au bonheur. Nous reviendrons vite dans ce havre de paix.

Lovely hotel very relaxing.
Great hotel..... great setting with the atlas mountains as a back drop. It is a good distance out of marrakesh so if you intend to visit then be aware it's a 20-25 minute cab ride away. The hotel is literally miles from anything. ... fine for us that's what we wanted but there is not even a shop or resturant you can walk to so can be a bit restrictive on menu choice etc as you end up having lunch and dinner from the same menu.... like I say no problem for us its exactly what we wanted.

Great hotel
A great relaxing stay. January was a perfect time to visit as there were few others guests. I hadn't appreciated how far it was from the airport and the city centre. The transfers to and from the airport and one return trip into the city by taxi costs us nearly £100. an unavoidable cost st this location. I cannot fault the hotel though it was everything it says it is.

Gorgeous, tranquil, boutique oasis. Bliss!
My sister and I (aged ~30) stayed for three nights over New Year's Eve in one of the 'tents': the reality is that they're lovely, charismatic rooms with a tented roof. Given the time of year, it gets cool at night but we were perfectly cosy. The hotel itself is like an oasis: about 25 minutes outside the city, it's a haven to retreat to. Fresh air, beautiful grounds to wander around, immaculate and enormous swimming pool framed by the Atlas Mountains... paradise. The staff couldn't have been warmer or more helpful and the place lends itself to meeting other guests (or keeping yourself separate) as you choose. If you're looking for somewhere boutique to relax and unwind, I can't recommend it highly enough.
