The hotel is in a good location close to both the beach and the medina but the rooms could certainly use an update. We initially went with no reservation and asked at the desk if they had rooms available and were told the only room was a suite at $200 a night. I went on the Orbitz app after leaving and found there were other rooms available at half the price, so I booked online. When we went back to check-in we were told that they didn't want to recommend the other rooms because they didn't have the seaview - which was irrelevant to us as we were staying one night. Give guests the option don't say something that's not true. The pool area is a nice amenity and the entry area also nice. The beds and pillows were soft (sometimes hard to find in Morocco) but the bathroom and closets etc are in need of an update.

The private beach is really good , too bad the WiFi wasent working in there !!!

My wife and I stayed 3 nights at the hotel and we loved it. It is perfectly located and provides excellent services especially the restaurants. We ate at the inside restaurant and the one by the beach, both were excellent. We highly recommend the apple pie. My wife said that it was the best apple pie she has had in her life. She is a a great baker and most importantly a Parisian, coming from her is pretty big deal. Anouar did a great job taking care of the clients at the pool. Management need to thank him and help him move up in the ranks. Youssef at room service is excellent! his customer service skills are beyond and above all of the ones we experienced during this 13 days trip in Morocco (Casa, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Ouarzazate, and Essaouira). I strongly suggest to put him in charge of training or give him a customer service management position. Our trip at Essaouira was one of the best in Morocco thanks to this hotel staff. Thank you.

We stayed x 1 night, loved it! Excelent location right in front of the beach and walking distance to the Medina. Great beach service with towels chairs umbrellas good food etc. Travelled w my husband and 5 year old daughter. Will definitely go back!

A don't miss opportunity that made Essaouira an even better stop thank had we not stayed at this property.

We stayed at this hotel for a few days and the service was exceptional. They really took care of us. The beds were comfortable and the amenities were great, including the pool and fitness room. It was vey close to the historic old town and right on the beach. We will would definitely stay here again!
