Who says that small on size means small on facilities? Les Jardins d'Ines has just 26 suites, but is by no means a shy wallflower, thanks in part to its sister hotel, the Palmeraie Golf Palace, which sits pretty next door. This Moorish-inspired fantasy of a boutique resort is lavishly decorated, and has proved a great hit with romancing couples (those aforementioned suites: heavenly) who fancy five-star frills without that big-resort feel.

The facilities

The hotel shares all of its facilities with its sister hotel, meaning that the 18-hole golf course, equestrian centre and not-notch sporting activities are merely minutes away. There's also a full-scale health spa with steam room, sauna, gym and multiple treatment rooms. The restaurant is a formal gourmet affair, that fuses traditional Moroccan cuisine with a lighter, Mediterranean touch. There's also a chic bar area and a great room service menu that runs 24 hours.

The rooms

Each of the suites at Les Jardins d'Ines is elegant and refined. The better ones have private Jacuzzis and even gardens,but all enjoy flat screen televisions, DVD players, wifi and palacial bathrooms.
