    traditional decor
    cute staff
    beautiful courtyard

    Riadh zahra is fine with traditional moroccan and spanish decor. The central courtyard is beautiful and filled with vibrant plants and art. The outdoor pool area is a lovely spot to relax under the sun. The staff is attentive.

    The hotel was pleasant and fairly clean, its location was stunning on the harbour, friendly service. Location: the property was just off good central area as well as the beach and walking distance from the old town. Dined at Le Corail, it was a 10-15 minute walking distance from the venue.

    Wi-Fi was very spotty, made me a little nervous.

    cozy restaurant
    friendly service
    chilly pool
    weak wifi
    limited breakfast variety

    A good stay with a cozy restaurant with fantastic seafood options and homemade pastries that left a nice impression. The location is perfect for beach access, although the WiFi occasionally faltered during peak hours. While the pool area provided a nice space for relaxation, it was quite chilly for swimming. The combination of friendly service and good breakfast.

    Essaouira vibes and warm hospitality 🌊❤️

    Staying here was such a jol! The staff were super friendly, always ready to help, and the brekkie was a lekker feast. The pool area by the tortoises was the perfect spot to chill after a long day exploring. Can't wait to return!

    The WiFi was a bit dodgy at times, especially during peak hours.

    delicious breakfast
    family-friendly
    shaded areas

    The breakfast spread was good, with fresh pancakes and a variety of options. Plus, it was just a short walk to the beautiful beach for some water adventures.

    My kids wished there were more shaded areas around the pool for cooler playtime.

    I had a great time at this lovely place with a fantastic breakfast, especially the fruits and crepes! The pool was a nice refresh after exploring, but my room was a bit dusty.

    dodgy wifi

    Perfect escape in Essaouira!

    We spent 3 nights and loved it! The vibe was super chill and the staff were always up for a chat. Enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner at the restaurant. The only bummer was that the WiFi hiccuped a bit during peak times. Still, the gorgeous pool and short walk to the beach made up for it!

    Lovely pool area with tortoises roaming around and good access to the beach for cycling. The room felt a bit outdated and needed more comfortable furnishings.
