Preamble

While we did not stay as it was a busy week for hotels , GM Marcel T , offered to show us suites during our 2 visits . Availability opened up during the latter part of our Marrakech stay but was too complicated to make switches with the situation we were facing then .

We eventually stayed at FS the whole time .

( Am doing a TR on MORAK as the error message was not making editing FS Marrakech Part 3 possible yet )

 

Will write , hopefully within the next couple of days , about the beautiful suites we viewed during our 2 visits including 2 dinners , one indoors as it was during the heatwave and the second al fresco when there was actually a decent gentle breeze .

Stand alone 2 bed room suite / pavilion

As MORAK was running about full occupancy , we were given a short ride to the only one ( we were able to view ) while it was readied for a very late arrival ( or possibly early predawn ) .

This was the Oriental Pool Villa ( unable to edit the heading )

Indoor dinner SHIRVAN - while jet lagging ;)

We had 2 dinners in MORAK , both at Shirvan . The first was on our first night in Marrakech during the heatwave , naturally we chose to dine indoors . Took photos , the 3 others with me too , so that we could remember the numerous dishes we enjoyed . Below are a few  ..

Our desserts spread included Chocolate mille feuille , frozen baklava , Paris Marrakech ( MORAK ' s french iconic with oriental touch ) , pistachio ice cream .. 

Al fresco dinner , Shirvan

After most of our celebration group left for Germany , we returned to Shirvan with 2 others who also extended their stay .

Al fresco was an excellent decision that evening as theer was a gentle breeze which made dining in fresh air even more pleasurable

We were glad we returned and tried even more of the wide repertoire 

Lovely grounds

We enjoyed strolling around parts of the seemingly vast grounds , were on the buggy too for some of our exploring the villas
