Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa MGallery

Essaouira Coast Essaouira|0.49km from Bab Sbaa
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!

Riad Dar Awil
4.8/539 Reviews
Old Medina
Very nice riad with spacious bedooms, large bathrooms and nicely located at the entrance of the medina. Walking distance to the souk, beach, and activities. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I arrived late in Marrakech and the hotel manager scheduled a taxi pick up at the airport (about 2h30 drive from there). The staff also helped me get around and provided a map of the medina and gave me addresses of the best restaurants and shops around the area. I had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back to stay at Dar Awil. Moroccans are very friendly and Essaouira is definitely a place to visit, I highly recommend it! By the way, US travelers are welcome to travel here and there are no restrictions, you just need a hotel reservation and a negative Covid test (no quarantine required).
Riad Sidi Magdoul
4/521 Reviews
Old Medina
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

Hotel des Iles
3.3/546 Reviews
Essaouira Coast
Step back in time and luxuriate in the Orson Welles suite, walk to ocean, or relax in the gorgeous pool. This gem retains its original charm and is a completely delightful experience. Listening to the morning calls for prayer with the windows open was just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend. Note this is not a modern 2023 Radisson so you should be a bit more flexible with your expectations at this legendary place.
Villa Maroc Essaouira
4.4/541 Reviews
Old Medina
We had only one night to stay in Essaouira and we most definitely made a superb choice - Villa Maroc is quite unique and so tastefully decorated - the rooms are spacious and all of them very stylish - each room is in one of the four interconnecting riads and the whole place exudes charm and tranquility. We were lucky that Fatima showed us a few of the rooms and ..... wow..... how beautiful they all were. - the view from the rooftop is spectacular, overlooking the bay. We felt very welcome and the staff makes you feel like you are family - nothing was too much trouble. At night time the place is so beautiful - we had supper there and the communal places are candlelit which gives the place such a relaxing atmosphere - even the fire was lit in the cosy bar area - we will definitely stay there again and would thoroughly recommend a few nights at Villa Maroc - you cannot be more charmed ! We are a couple from the UK.
Maison du Sud
4.2/528 Reviews
Old Medina
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.
