The breakfasts were lovely. I enjoyed the terrace. My room was perfect. I was especially grateful to be on the sea. My friends stayed at a Riad deeper in the Medina and they struggled every night with smoke from burning trash. So I felt so happy to have the cool seabreeze. The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

Pool tables lovely. View perfect. Clean, welcoming, friendly staff and people every night downstairs. Smoking inside was good for us, if you don’t like the smell of smoke I understand you might not like the smell, didn’t smell in the room though. Couldn’t have asked for anything else.

Greg & Samira made this already fantastic riad even better with their smiles, helpfulness & general wonderful hospitality! We stayed for two nights, they helped me find medicine for my ill husband & cooked the most delicious tagine that I’ve had so far in Morocco. The riad itself was absolutely beautiful! The bath tub was HUGE the bed comfy & spaces well decorated & kept! Stay here when visiting Essaouira & thank me later. We only hope that we make it onto the picture wall ☺️

We had the best time, wonderful hosts and staff. Can't wait to return!! We will brush up on our French so we can communicate more easily as everyone speaks French there. Villa Daba is just perfect for an off the beaten track trip. Fantastic family run resturant in walking distance and a few cafes a short drive away plus in 15 mins by car you are in the heart of Essouira. The donkeys, tortoises and beautiful garden are all part of the magic of this place. The pool is also very refreshing and everything is so clean thanks to the lovely cleaning staff who did an amazing job of making our room lovely every day. We spent a week there and didnt want to leave! Special thanks to Mohammad for putting up with our wild children for a week, he couldn't do enough for us. We felt part of the family there and that's thanks to the warm welcome and hosts checking in every day with how we were and making such a fuss over our girls (2 and 5). We are so grateful!! We hope to visit again very soon!! Natalie and Nick (Enna and Lyra)

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.
