Marrakech Hammam & massage packages

1) problems with communications and scheduling time. Hamman was awesome, but there was NO MASSAGE!!!!!

I really enjoyed my experience today!! From the moment my driver (I'm sorry I have forgotten his name) picked me up at my hotel to the minute he,dropped me back off at my hotel! He wakes into the 'facility' with me and made sure I was checked in properly! The ladies who helped me with Hammam and also the massage we amazing. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire visit. I left feeling calm and at peace! Thank you for the opportunity to experience the practice of hamam in such a beautiful place!!

If you are after the real Morrocco then this is for you but if you do not speak Arabic and are not comfortable with non-westernised spa facilities than this is not for you. Pick up and transfer were great, quick and direct. On arrival we were taken upstairs and told in very very broken English (the advert says English speakers) to remove all of our clothing, including briefs. We were taken to a private room with a slab and although private please make sure that you are comfortable with the people you’re with - there is nothing left to the imagination. The first staff member that ‘scrubbed us down’ had no eye contact and no English - she did not attempt to inform us of what she was about to do, and just ‘got on with the job’. After what felt like a lifetime of watching your friends being scrubbed and exfoliated on a slab in front of you, and then taking your own turn we were ‘washed down’ with buckets of water being thrown at us. As mentioned, nothing is left to the imagination, if you are at all uncomfortable being undressed this is not for you as the lack of communication left us shocked when briefs etc were removed without warning to be washed. We then went through for the ‘massage’ although this was pleasant it was not what you would describe as a western ‘massage’. The masseurs simply rub oil into your skin. As this had all taken so long the driver was eager to go and we did not receive our tea/coffee - though at this point we were really glad to be going. So in brief ... if you are after a traditional Moroccan hammam then this is what you will get but you could certainly get something much much cheaper elsewhere. If you are looking for something a bit more ‘spa like’ and ‘westernised’ then this is definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!!
