“Great riad to stay when in Essaouira with lovely staff, great food and good location near the beach,”

Beautiful Riad, with a great room overlooking the pool and beach. Helpful staff and great breakfast.

V comfy accommodation Spotlessly clean wonderful staff so helpful Excellent choice of freshly cooked food Wonderful.fresh breakfast every morning

“Relaxing stay Thankyou”

Lovely pool, large room, quiet location but near the beach

“Beautiful place, great location. All you need!”

An amazing place to stay, close to the beach, the camels, a short walk or taxi ride to the Medina with a beautifully relaxed vibe. Lovely rooms, fabulous interior & a great restaurant.

“I thoroughly recommend Riad Zahra, it’s true value for money; the staff were super-polite and welcoming, thank you🇲🇦”

It’s authentically Moroccan (roof on the Riad so not open to the elements, it’s like an atrium in the central aspect), everything was easily accessible and we loved having breakfast outside (facilities inside too). It’s a gorgeous promenade walk to the medina and port (for the most delicious oysters), two minutes from the beach and bars on the beach are super-close🙌🏼

“Short stay”

The location was perfect

“Prima”

Very frendly personal and good equiped

“Comfortable room with excellent breakfast, in a quiet area one street back from the beach.”

Lovely spacious room with a view over the pool and the sea. Excellent breakfasts, in the restaurant or pool-side. In a quiet area towards the end of the seafront promenade, easy access to the beach with a few cafe/restaurants. A 20-30 min walk to the medina and port along the beach, with camels, surfers, kite surfers, families enjoying the sun etc.

We assumed there was a swimming pool available but it was out of action-so disappointing as it didn’t say this was the case.

Lovely family hotel, nice staff, good pool area and very quiet area

“Many thanks especially to Xavier.”

“Decent but old. Value for money.”

Good location if you don’t mind taking a stroll to the Medina. Enough parking spots. Good breakfast (a piece of French baguette would be nice, tho). The receptionist spoke English and was helpful.

“Would have been great with better room”

We liked Breakfast and bed comfortable. Ambience of the riad was v nice

“Comfortable, friendly and pleasant”

The hotel was very authentic, nice dining area

No breakfast

“Enjoyable but pool under renovation!”

Traditional, friendly, away from the busy medina. Basic.

“Very very disappointing. We managed to cancel the last few nights, but then had to find alternative accommodation, which”

It’s location and some of the staff.

“Will return”

Unfortunately when I arrived the pool was empty and being repaired. As this was my main reason for choosing this Riad I was not pleased. I spoke to the manager who understood the situation and agreed a full refund if I could find an alternative. He was very helpful and the staff very friendly. The place had lots of atmosphere and I would like to stay there in the future (pool fixed!)

“Family run riad”

Family run for 20 years and very helpful. There atmospheric resturant and bar with great options. Takes around 20 mins to walk to center or 80p in taxi.

A perfect place to stay close to the beach, with a great breakfast and an excellent restaurant. A lovely promenade along the shore took us all the way to the fishing harbor and the medina, making it easy and enjoyable to explore the area. There was also a surf school just nearby, which was a big plus.
