Riad Perle d'Eau

On condition that you have a room with a sea view you will be delighted by this Riad. Our suite on the top floor had two large windows looking out to sea. Ever changing, sight and sound that dominated our lives for the 2 days spent here. If you do not have a sea view I think this Riad could be a little disappointing. Our suite was spacious, the bed large and comfortable with a 3 piece suite. The bathroom didn’t have a proper shower - large bath with shower over. With the water shortages in Morocco no one should be running a bath especially a large corner one. The shower bracket was broken and so the shower head had to be held while showering. We got a small electric shock from the top of the bathroom light switch. Once we knew we just made sure to hit the middle of the switch, but these details should be sorted. Reception staff were helpful and recommended an excellent restaurant, provided a map and a description of what to see in town. Had a superb hammam and massage , staff were lovely. Breakfast was a bit limited. We stayed in 9 different roads during our 2 week stay in Morocco. Our travel agent had informed all of them of my gluten intolerance, but this was the only one to not offer me something else at breakfast - other than a rice cracker. Considering 7 of the riads were in the desert this was disappointing that the perle d’eau could not so as well. On the second day there was not even yoghurt. Even for my husband the breakfast was nothing special. This was also the only Riad to not be able to provide us with an espresso despite there being a Nespresso machine on the counter - no capsules. On our last evening power and internet went out in the bedrooms and there was no internet still when we left the next day at 11h. The terrace was lovely. This Riad could easily be better with a bit more love and attention to detail. Surprising when one reads the owner is Swiss.

Great location, and very nice people. But the room was dark and mildewy, and the breakfast service was poor. Plus, the power went off, and they made us pay extra expenses in cash.

The hotel is in need of complete refurbishment it is tired and the plaster is falling off the walls in places. The rooms were far below what was expected and were a massive disappointment. We mainly booked this hotel due to the views but this was only from the rooftop. The facilities were also not as advertised and did not exist! Overall it was a dreadful 3 nights and I would not recommend staying. The spa was also one of the worst experiences although the therapists were very good.

Absolutely dreadful experience staying here. The rooms and facilities do not match any of the pictures online it is dirty and the whole riad requires significant work. There is no spa/restaurant/bar and the cleaning of the rooms was inconsistent. Worst of all the male receptionist was rude and agressive to us and showed none of the Moroccan hospitality we are used to.

Location good for getting anywhere in the Medina. Excellent view out to sea from our room. Room a bit tired and gloomy, breakfast average. Staff helpful.

Enjoyed this Riad in the Medina. Good location, friendly staff, and beautiful building.

A very nice Riad, comfortable and very clean room, outstanding staff, very friendly in reception as well as breakfast service. Worth to visit

The employees were helpful & nice. The room was clean. View from the roof is amazing!!! Perfect stay!!
