In short, it was a truly enchanting experience. The rooms are beautifully crafted, adorned with art at every turn—it's clear the owner has a passion for collecting. If I find myself in Essaouira again, I won’t hesitate to choose this place for my stay.

The Riad is absolutely beautiful. It is really easy to find, and ideally located to explore the medina. Everything about our stay was excellent. The room was really comfortable, the breakfast was lovely and we also had dinner there one evening which I would highly recommend. Unfortunately my son was unwell during our stay (from some seafood from elsewhere!) - the gentleman at the Riad was so helpful! He was very sick during the night meaning all of our bedding needed taking off, he came and helped me get sorted and quickly got new bedsheets sorted so we could get back to bed. I was so grateful, and the staff showed genuine concern, checking in and making some simple meals for him such as a bowl of rice to help his stomach settle again. Without all of this the stay was already exceptional but the care on top of the hospitality was fantastic.

Everything! Sofitel has not one flaw. Yousra and Ines especially made our stay the most comfortable it possibly could be. They have been so helpful and really made Sofitel shine as much as it already does. Everything from the atmosphere, the ambience the design and the staff is 5 star quality. Me and my sister have fallen in love and will definitely be back it truly is the best place in Essaouira. Thankyou so much to all the staff, and personal thanks to Yousra and Ines. We will be seeing you again at sofitel! 🙏🙏❤️

Everything! The room, number 31, was a fantastic loft (bed over the bathroom), simplistically designed, and elegant. The staff was smiley, welcoming, and helpful. The courtyard is gorgeous, and judging by the busy evenings, the restaurant serves good food. The location was a short walk to the harbor, but on a more calm but centralized street. The price was fantastic for what we got. I could live there.

Didier and Bernadette were very friendly and attentive hosts. The garden and pool areas are very tranquil and the hammam is lovely. The villa has interesting and very tasteful Africa-themed decor. Villa Daba is an oasis of peace and tranquility and we left feeling rested and restored.

I loved the ocean front view and the beautiful design of the room with the colored tiles, the layout, and the beautiful windows. The staff at the Dar Ayour were very nice and made us feel welcome. The fried egg, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast were so delicious.

We stayed 2 nights at this lovely and well-designed RIAD. Located in the heart of the Médina and very close to the beach. Very clean and spacious rooms (and bathrooms) and superb breakfast & staff. Youssef, the manager, was a great assistance in everything we asked for as arranging laundry, transportation & recommending dinner spots.
