Terrible Experience — Avoid Lodge K!
I visited Lodge K recently, my last visit was back in 2021, and I was shocked at how much the quality of service and facilities has gone downhill.
First, we paid 1500dh for a couple, which only included two dishes (main + starter or main + dessert), not even a soft drink included! In Marrakesh, almost everyone offers a 3-course meal (salad, main, dessert) for the same or even lower price.
The towels were disgusting, we couldn’t even use them to dry ourselves, and the sunbeds were old, dirty, and completely worn out.
After a swim, we decided to have lunch. The starters (salmon salad and roast veg pesto) were actually good, but then we waited 40 minutes for the mains. When I asked what was happening, they told me the morning staff left without handing over to the evening staff, and none of the waiters even noticed we were waiting so long! I didn’t make a scene, I just asked nicely for our food because we were starving.
After another 15 minutes, the mains finally arrived: a basic, bland chicken tagine and the worst risotto I’ve ever tasted milky, flavourless, and topped with deep-fried prawns. Who even cooks risotto like that? It was disgusting. Imagine rice pudding topped with prawn tempuras.
They tried to offer us something else but by then we were tired, hungry, and just wanted to swim a bit and leave. The owner tried to offer me a drink or fruit salad, as if that would make up for charging 1500dh for this mess.
Overall: awful experience. I will never go back. They just want your money and don’t care at all about quality or service. Avoid this place!
