A tranquil stay turned into discrimination and unpleasant treatment. Marrakech is known for their relaxing resorts that cater to solo to family travelers. Comfort in the resorts make one feel at ease and happy they chose the right location for vacation. Unfortunately, this wasn’t our experience at Oasis Logdes.
During our most recent visit we were treated as criminals and not valued as a guest by management. Oasis lodges does not cater to practicing covered Muslims, which is ironic in a Muslim country. Swimming pools are available for use along with secluded women only swimming time. However, this resort doesn’t allow burkinis (modest swimwear) to been worn, the prefer women to uncover completely showing all of their bodies to be a display to other women and men. Practicing covered Muslim women are not allowed to remain modest at this resort, in order to fully utilize the pools one must wear a one piece or bikini bathing suit. The women choice to stay modest is ripped away and she is shamed for not being modest.
During our visit we try to utilize the swimming pools during the secluded women only time and was turned away and told our modest swim wear was not acceptable. We were escorted out of the pool area as we were criminals. Management didn’t compensate us for the inconvenience and was rude. At the time of check in at the hotel and on hotel.com website, there is no mention of burkinis not being allowed.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESORT!
