"Stunning Riad, with a more modern feel. We had a very warm welcome, with a full introduction to Essaoira. Beautiful rooms and breakfast in the roof where you can see the sea. It’s situated just off a Main Street and feels very safe and the breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this enough, we only stayed 2 night but I could easily have stayed a week!"

7.8 out of 10, Good, (67)
"Nice location for access to the town and beach, only downside to this was the noise levels as you're right next to one of the mosques so the 6am call to prayer is VERY loud and nightlife from the streets can go on late into the night. Room was clean and well equipped. Breakfast on the lovely multi level terrace was varied and plentiful. Great views from our room being on the third floor, very grateful for the elevator getting us and our luggage up and down!"

"Got one of the ocean view room and the view is gorgeous. Great location, short walk to the medina for shopping and photos. The room was spacious and clean. Although not an brand new condition, the upkeep is good. If we come back, we'd stay here again."
