It was perfection. Beautiful, quiet, great ocean view. Decorated with many stunning pieces. Very authentic and close to everything. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and helped me with everything. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care of. They truly are experts in hospitality.

The rooms are beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and great showers. The towels were nice large hotel style. The breakfast was the best we’ve had in Morocco to date. We originally booked for one night but stayed for two. So got to enjoy two different rooms.

A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

This hotel was absolutely amazing. The interior and decor were outstanding. The hotel was in a great location in the medina city centre and 5 mins from the beach. There was a rooftop view of the city and the beach which i loved and spent a lot of time. The staff were so friendly and service was outstanding. The hotel was very beautiful and so clean. The breakfast was delicious and such a great variety. I would definitely come back again and will be a regular customer.

These apartments are completely new. Well furnished, the hosts Said and his family are wonderful people and always took great care of us. We were a big group, we rented almost all their apartments and stayed for a week. The location is outside the city center (the medina), we had a few people stay there as we didnt fit all in these apartments, and here it was much better. The medina hotels all had little light and humidity. The insonorization could be a little better, but I think for Essaouira this was a top stay.
