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.

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.

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.

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!
