Top 5-Star Hotels in Essaouira

Second stay at this lovely hotel, specious rooms, nice room view overlooking the ocean, amazing breakfast, will book again

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!

It’s okay soon, the hotel in Morocco is basically the same, and there is a small episode in the middle. We waited for the kung fu waiter in the downstairs to think that we checked out and left the things in the room, but it’s all right. Looking back, everything else is ok

In a good local hotel, wake up in the morning by the seagull, breakfast to the restaurant on the top floor, facing the sea, the waves rolling, the seagulls coiled, the sun is shining, it is difficult to describe the beauty.

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!)

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.

The location is easy to find, free parking, right across from Essaouira beach. Originally, the room type was a double room, but we ended up with a double bed and a single bed (three adults). The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is very rich, and the dinner is three courses, cost-effective.

Riad Chbanate is amazing! Every Riad in Morocco astounds me with its style, graciousness, and comfort. With gorgeous architecture, the rooms at the Chbanate are more romantic than most, and I think it would be perfect for a honeymoon. But even at 72, I could appreciate the sensual decor. Service exudes that Moroccan warmth. Smiles abound, led by the irrepressible Samira, who was very charming. Greg and Hichen were also helpful and fun. Breakfasts were delicious and elegant, served in a lovely room off the courtyard. We had a perfect stay. The Riad Chbanate was so wonderful, I could spend my entire holiday never leaving the Riad, except for dinner and to listen to music. It is a great place for a respite.

The Villa Garance, whose location is central in Essaouira, has a clear charm of its past and the restoration made. The welcome by its owner is warm. The staff of the careful and very friendly breakfast. The hotel is a very nice hotel in the charming city of Essaouira, but it is a very nice hotel in the city of Essaouira.
