I stayed in this Riad with my mother and we had a wonderful time. Beautiful and decorated with great taste. Peaceful atmosphere. Perfect location in the medina, which allows for peace and quiet while remaining close to everything on foot.

Once again in Morocco, it is the people who make the experience. Mohamed and Safia made my stay unforgettable. This is a small riad with only five rooms, with no pretensions, simply designed to make you feel at home. I was fortunate to stay in a room with a large window overlooking the riad’s entrance alley, which brought in plenty of light. Everything was always impeccably clean, and the breakfast prepared by Safia was fantastic. Enjoying it on the riad’s rooftop was a unique experience. Mohamed, a young man from northern Morocco, adds a special touch with his constant willingness to help. Shokran!

Riad Yanitri is an amazing and outstanding place to stay. We never expected to find such a lovely, stylish, childfriendly and absolutely new place in Marroko. The couple who runs the Riad is giving more than everthing 24/7 to make your stay perfect. We stayed with our toddler two nights and wished we would have stayed much longer. There are many things that even keep the little ones entertained or welcome them to be explored. Babybeds, babychairs, toddlerfriendly meals, turtles, games... everything is there. The whole place is so welcoming and the food so authentical and tasty that it is hard to leave. What my husband and I also really enjoyed was, that the owners speak English!!! That's a huge advantage as we got so many information about everthing we came up with. We are so glad that we discovered this little heaven not far from town.

Everything was new and nice. I had the room on the top which I loved. Breakfast was delicious and Hicham was just amazing and helped with everything. Also the location is perfect, just a step away from everything, but really quiet. Will definitely stay there again when I come back.

We could not have loved our stay at Riad al Manara more. Not only was it the most beautiful riad we stayed at during our time in Morocco, but the staff went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed. We felt so taken care of. You will not find a more beautiful, welcoming place to stay.

Beautiful Riad with exceptional interior design in the middle of the Medina. Breakfast, served on the rooftop, was one of the best we had in Morocco. Staff was very helpful. When the night was chilly they even fired up the chimney for us. Definitely worth a visit!

This was my second time at Dar Maya - and it was equally as lovely as the first! The rooms are cozy and well decorated - the heated floors in the bathroom are great. :) Essaouira is small, so you are not far from the beach or the main souks / restaurants. Thank you to Youssef and the rest of the Dar Maya staff.

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
