The famously strong appetite of Ronaldo is well-known, and visitors can eat just as much as he does.

The menu at the pool is “focused on healthy foods and beverages.”

Ronaldo, 37, stated, “When I opened my first hotel with the Pestana Group in 2016, our goal was to establish a global brand.”

“Since that first landmark in Madeira, our birthplace, followed by the hotel in Lisbon, we have expanded to Madrid and New York.

“With the opening of this hotel in Marrakech, we enter our fifth city.

“But more than just a number, it represents my connection to a country that I am passionate about, and where I am always made to feel most welcome.”

President of the Pestana Group Dionisio Pestana stated, “The partnership between the Pestana Hotel Group and Cristiano Ronaldo begins a new chapter with the opening of the first hotel in Africa.

“A continent where the group’s international expansion began more than two decades ago.

“And wherever there is a genuine and unwavering passion for football, Cristiano is a master.”

A hotel spokesperson added, “A fantasy come true.

“More than just a hotel, it is an unforgettable experience in the exotic atmosphere of one of Africa’s most emblematic cities.”
