Lovely hotel with excellent service
Lovely hotel with outstanding, friendly, helpful staff. Special thanks to Sahid on reception. Very comfortable beds. The restaurant on the beach serves delicious food. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the medina. Would definitely recommend.

Great Location but Renovation Work is a Minus
This hotel will be great once the major renovation construction is completed but until then it is a four star experience. The new pool area is beautiful and the modern rooms are nice though not big (typical hotel room size). I liked the decor of the new rooms. Our rooms faced the side street with a partial ocean view and a full-on view of the construction debris. They were jack hammering early and loading debris as late as 8:30pm! The location is great - across from the beach and a 10 minute walk to the Medina. The breakfast buffet was solid. Finally I need to comment on the service of a couple of the front desk staff. I don't know if they went to Paris to get trained in "French customer service" given this is a French chain but it was stunning in how they responded to a simple request for a second chair for our balcony. They felt it better to argue with the customer on why they couldn't do so then to just fulfill this easy request. Unbelievable.

Book this hotel! Wonderful service and stay!
What a beautiful gem of a hotel! You cannot go wrong with staying here. Wonderful service. Everyone is warm, helpful, and friendly. Just a short walk from the Medina. Great restaurant and bar (stays open late). I saw reviews about the construction but it was a non-issue! I highly recommend is place if you are in Essaouria.

Charging to room
What kind of five star hotel doesn't let you charge your bar bill to your room? Had to pay for bar and restaurant drinks (separately) in cash. Very inconvenient!

Amazing location wonderful hotel
Well firstly I don’t think all the negative views are warranted - the hotel is lovely not as bad as some people say ! The only thing that let this hotel down for us was that the indoor pool was being upgraded - such a pity they don’t do that in summer when hot and have outdoor pool as we were here in December and weather not great so we booked hotel based on having an indoor pool for a swim each day so that was the biggest disappointment Location - superb right on the beach front and if have a sea view room spectacular views which made the trip as lovely balcony to sit on watch the sun rise/ set It’s a bit all over the place as layout has changed due to renovations but these do not impact guests in any way and are welcome as the room we had was lovely but dated and would welcome a touch up and on the last day a big storm came and we woke up to a flooded room from the balcony over to carpet under the bed - thankfully we had packed and moved bags closer to the door or it would have been a disaster ! The M beach bar was lovely and Ahmed was a gentleman and always so friendly - lovely setting for having a drink / coffee / lunch and sunbeds also where towels were provided Cleaning - place was spotless and the ladies were so friendly but often missing items - day 1 no towels / day 1&2 no water left in room day 3 emptied tissue box to replace and never replaced day 4 took 1 towel and never replaced - small simple stuff The bed was one of the most comfortable we stayed in on trip - big spacious/ comfortable - amazing Breakfast - lots of pastries / breads meats / cheese and all freshly baked tasty can also order eggs - omelette / scrambled etc WiFi - hit and miss - I had an Accor account so I seemed to have better wifi than my husband which was strange - worked ok in room but not great didn’t work if sat on balcony and was perfect down on beach ! This hotel is in a wonderful location lovely staff and would recommend if you are looking for a hotel and not a riad as from what I could see walking around not many others that looked inviting !

This is NOT a thalasso hotel.
Good location and friendly staff but beware this hotel no longer has thalassotherapy facilities only limited spa treatments. The hotel is also undergoing extensive construction and remodeling until September 2026 causing dust and noise and meaning a large part of the indoor facilities are not available to guests and more than 50% of bedrooms are still to be refurbished The main entrance looks as though the whole hotel is closed.

A standard hotel , well located
Stayed here for a night. Hotel caters more for Euro/American tourists on a package tour. The hotel is like any standard quality hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. Decor was humdrum The location on the sea front was excellent. The hotel has exclusive space and a a restaurant on the beach which was pretty good. The food served on the beach was pretty good.

Great stay with even better potential!
We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of an amazing Morocco adventure. This place has such potential and it 60% there. Once all the renovations have been completed it will be the place to stay. The external view of the resort is pretty shabby and very dated. The old rooms which are all in the front building do all need work but they are onto it and it won't be long until they are all done. We had booked a sea view room not knowing that those are all the unrenovated ones. We asked before we got there to have a room that was renovated and away from the noise of the construction. In reality we got an old room next door to the building work aaaargh! At check in, they advised that a new room would become available the next day if we wished to change. We decided we wanted to - the old rooms are not hideous but they do really need some work - dated bathrooms, grout is old and stained, fixtures are pretty poor. The bed however was still very clean and comfortable. The small balcony facing the ocean has peeling paint etc and the external walls are very grotty. The amazing Nezha at front desk helped us out and relocated us to a new room the next morning (Thankyou Nezha!!) These rooms are gorgeous!. Bathroom is beautiful, balcony large and comfortable. Couldn't fault them. Only feedback that was negative about the back building was occasionally there was a really bad smell in the hallway (sewerage??) which may or may not have been the hotel. This did not affect our stay though. The pool area is beautifully remodelled, the bar has been beautifully remodelled. At the time, they were working on reception and the side building rooms and apart from that first night the work did not affect our stay. The restaurant in the hotel is yet to be renovated and does need work, but I'm sure its on the agenda to get done soon. Breakfast was good, with Moroccan and Western options. The staff across the hotel was all lovely. The staff at breakfast was great but tended not to be on top of clearing dirty tables or re-setting for the next guest but it wasn't the end of the world. We also accessed the beach side restaurant and the food was fantastic! The staff here were also lovely but service was very slow. The location is the best in Essaouira in our opinion. All in all a great stay and can't wait to see how the renovations end up. Once finished this place will be a 5/5!

Another stay at this wonderful hôtel.
After a two year hiatus, a return to this hôtel and another wonderful stay. Because of refurbishment works, it was not possible for us to have our "favourite" room, but we received an upgrade to a sea-view room, and an excellent room it was too. Upon arrival, we were met with the most gracious greeting and recognition by the reception staff and quickly and efficiently ‘processed' through check in and assigned our room. As for the reception staff, a special mention must be made for Fatima E and Aziz, who, on all occasions, went above and beyond with their help and assistance, we cannot praise them highly enough. The room was one that is yet to be refurbished but it met all of our needs perfectly. A bowl of fruit greets you on the first night followed by the most delicious chocolate cakes every evening. The rooms are spacious and well equipped for our needs with very good WiFi should you require it. The mini bar is well stocked but we normally remove the supplied stock and re fill with our own products from a nearby supermarket. The bathroom is clean and well supplied with all that one would need, hair and body products, bath robes etcetera. The breakfasts in this hôtel are really very good, both western and Moroccan dishes are available along with fruit, cereals, viennoiserie and cakes, with very attentive staff. A special mention should go out to Abdullah? a long-time member of staff, who is most caring and efficient and to the, unfortunately unnamed, egg lady. It is possible to take breakfast either outside by the pool or inside the dining room with a wonderful view of the sea and beach-life, we always chose the latter. I must say that it is always a pleasure to eat there. The pool and garden area have been remodelled since our last stay and a good job has been done. It has become a haven of peace & quiet only punctuated by the birdsong of the local Bulbuls. The hôtel is ideally located on the beachfront only about 200mts from Bab Sbâa, one of the entrances to the delights of the medina and about 30mins walk from an international supermarket for those things that you may have forgotten or desire. I have every reason to highly recommend this hôtel. Choukran bezaf, Inshallah we will return soon.
