Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa MGallery

Essaouira Coast Essaouira|0.63km from city center
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!

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!)
Salut Maroc!

Old Medina
A absolutely amazing experience. What a beautiful hotel! What lovely people! We met the fantastic owner Helen, her warm and kind manager Mina, Albie, Hamza in the restaurant. It's like a big family and we felt sad leaving! The design is STUNNING. Every room is special and the beds are incredibly comfy for a good nights' sleep. The team are wonderful in helping you organise transfers, surf lessons, restaurant recommendations. On my birthday they gave me flowers and the entire restaurant sang to me which made me feel so special! They also have a live band playing upstairs and people from all over come to eat in the restaurant so it really is the place to be at night as well.
Riad Al Khansaa
4.2/521 Reviews
Old Medina
Arrived Thursday 6th July and was given by Omar the choice of 2 rooms both seemed great to me but we chose room 6 that was very Moroccan with large windows looking into the unique centre of the property. Omar along with Mango and the other staff were so helpful always available whether at breakfast , to suggest a Hammam, directions to a restaurant or anything ! The Riad was located close to the city walls from where at sunset you get the most amazing views and it is very well located in the Medina to all the hustle and bustle and only 10 mins away from the outside gates and any taxis needed to travel elsewhere. We loved our stay and would most definitely come again and we loved Essaouira
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
Villa Quieta
4.7/541 Reviews
Essaouira Coast
The very design Villa is just off the beach, and the big terrace on the third floor is very beautiful. The room is small and not suitable for an extra bed, but the public space is very large and exquisite, with garden and pool area, excellent environment and good service.
