Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa MGallery

Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa MGallery

Essaouira Coast Essaouira|0.66km from Medina of Essaouira
After reading some of the reviews before staying at this hotel I have to say I'm not surprised. I totally agree with the comments that this is not a true 5 star hotel at all. The positives are the location, the pool area and the rooms (to an extent). From one way its only a short walk to the medina and from the other it's a short walk to the beach bars. The pool area is well maintained and very attracting. The rooms are a good size with comfy bed and powerful shower and they are very clean. However, we started off by having to change rooms as the room we were first given had a chipped bath - all the paint had come up off the bottom of the bath so it was unusable, the staff solved this pretty quickly by offering us a room of the same standard one floor above. Nevertheless, I find it shocking that a 5 star hotel would not maintain their rooms in the first place. We found the cleaning staff and concierges very friendly. Some of the breakfast staff and beach staff, less so. One day we sat on the beach beds and felt looked down on and were not treated as well as some of the other guests. This really put us off and prevented us using this area again. Not sure if this is because we are a younger/mixed couple? Overall, the hotel is lacking in a lot of areas and the Accor group need to look into this. I would definitely visit Essaouira again but would probably rent an apartment since the beach and medina have so many options anyway!
Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort

Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort

Essaouira Coast Essaouira|1.5km from Medina of Essaouira
It’s okay soon, the hotel in Morocco is basically the same, and there is a small episode in the middle. We waited for the kung fu waiter in the downstairs to think that we checked out and left the things in the room, but it’s all right. Looking back, everything else is ok

Ryad Watier & Spa

Ryad Watier & Spa

4.8/552 Reviews
Old Medina
A home away from home. Friendly, clean, safe, and filled with character, we loved our stay at Riad Watier. So much so, that when our plans changed after the devastating earthquake in the Atlas Mountains, we simply returned to Ryad Watier for another stay in Essaouira. LOCATION - - The ryad is centrally located, close enough to the medina, shop stalls, restaurants, without being in the middle of it. A 5 minute walk to the beach. YOUR HOSTS - - Fatiha, Hyatt and Rashid were so welcoming, making us feel at home immediately, and filled with ideas and suggestions for excursions, sightseeing, shopping and where to eat. Nothing was too much effort, and everything was done with a genuine smile and warm Moroccan hospitality. Jean-Gabriel the owner, was a delight to meet, filled with interesting stories and good humour. All the cooking & housekeeping staff were so friendly and accommodating. ROOMS - - each room is different, charmingly decorated. Messaouda room was large, with a large bathroom, bright and cheerful, with a fireplace and the MOST comfortable bed. FACILITIES / MEALS - - Laundry, on-site hammam (WONDERFUL!), library, high speed internet, a rooftop terrace for sunsets/sunrises. DELICIOUS and full breakfast, served with a smile. I am sure we will return again to Riad Watier - see you soon, Fatiha (inch'allah!)

What a beautiful Riad, everyone has been super friendly, helpful , knowledgeable and smiling. The hotel is lovely and clean, nothing is too much trouble. The reception staff go above and beyond to help and the lady that serves breakfast is always lovely with a good selection of food every day. Always welcomed with a smile. The Riad is very centrally located in the median and a 5 minute walk to either the port or beautiful sandy beach. Definitely recommend
Riad Emotion

Riad Emotion

4.7/516 Reviews
Old Medina
Riad Emotion is an amazing spot to stay in Essaouira. The light hits this riad perfectly as the fresh air and sun of the wind city sweep you in. The entrance, rooms, and roof terrace could not be more peaceful. Right off of the medina but still close enough to the action. All said, we were lucky enough to travel to Morocco in May after getting the vaccine and while much was still on lockdown they welcomed arms. Cannot recommend Riad Emotion enough! Riad Emotion est un endroit incroyable pour séjourner à Essaouira. La lumière frappe parfaitement ce riad alors que l'air frais et le soleil de la ville du vent vous envahissent. L'entrée, les chambres et la terrasse sur le toit ne pourraient pas être plus paisibles. Juste à côté de la médina mais toujours assez proche de l'action. Tout compte fait, nous avons eu la chance de voyager au Maroc en mai après avoir reçu le vaccin et alors que beaucoup étaient encore bloqués, ils ont accueilli les armes. Je ne saurais trop recommander le Riad Emotion!

Old Medina
Lovely riad with exceptionally helpful staff. One of the two buildings is part of the sea wall, so there are incredible views from the terrace and some rooms. Breakfast is delicious, and the hotel sells a small range of wines and beers at reasonable prices. Don't expect aircon etc as this is a traditional riad, but the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Super friendly and helpful staff.

We have just returned from a week here. Hotel was very clean, our room was more of a suite than a room as it included 2 sofas, two armchairs and 2coffee tables. Bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and towels were changed every day. The breakfast was excellent consisting of: Always a mini baguette, local yogurt, jam, honey, orange juice, m’smen, fruit and hot beverage of choice. Then variably a brioche, a couscous cake or pancake with either boiled egg or cheese. It was very filling and the staff were always very helpful. The proprietors were friendly and helpful from advising on local areas of interest to arranging our taxi back to the airport. We are looking forward to returning and have already recommended it to friends and family.

Me and my husband are locals and we have stayed here one night to be repeated surely when coming to essaouira city. They give discounts for big groups and long term stays – I recommend contacting them directly for the best price. This is an authentic Moroccan riad loaded with antiques painstaking collected by the local owners over the years and decorated as a labor of love and coziness. Tea is happily provided when welcoming. Breakfast can be included with the room hot and fresh. There is a calm energy and a coziness about the place. They seem to love the riad and their guests. It is in an easy and fabulous location in the Medina. A short walk to the beach, the square, souk and squala. Finding it is super easy using google maps. I highly recommend this riad, especially for English speakers looking for an authentic Moroccan experience! Thank you Teresa and Loqman.
