Sadly our stay here is over. Superlatives cannot do it justice. It feels like home and family if home were perched thrillingly above the Atlantic waves. Essaouira is lovely and it is interesting to explore but sitting in our room watching the ocean was the best. The bed, linen and towels, robes, furnishings are outstanding. The room is more than tastefully decorated, there is an inspired talent here. The staff are commiserate with the property, that is welcoming, friendly, helpful, genuine. I regret planning our Morocco visit for anywhere other than here.

The waves crashed below our windows in the middle of the night — magical. A delicious breakfast was served from terrace with exceptional ocean views.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT 1. Located in street with low roof ceiling and little/ no light. One has to be extra careful walking down the street in low light as I banged my head against the ceiling in the street. More lighting required. 2. The Riad has interconnecting building with no sign posting for the terrace, exit and rooms. I got lost a few times finding my way to the room. This can be a particular risk in case of a fire in the building as the fire exits aren’t marked either. 3. The floor, made of tiles, can’t be slippery once wet. 4. I could not find any additional sockets in the room to plug my phone charger in. I had to take a side table lamp off to find a socket. 5. I could not find air conditioning/ heating in the room. At the time of my visit the weather was perfect and the room temperature at its best. However I wonder if that’s true all through the year? 6. No intercom to speak to reception, tea/ coffee making facilities or a chiller for keeping drinks chilled. 7. Given most of the population of Morroco is Muslim and number of travellers from the surrounding countries are likely to be the same, there are no Muslim showers or bidets the toilet. This can easily be resolved by changing the toilet seats with those that come with in-built bidets. 8. Breakfast: Limited variety. I am not sure if it would satisfy the needs of those looking for Kosher food.

STRENGTHS: 1. LOCATION: Ideal; right on the seashore overseeing the beach and and rocks. 2. STAFF: Very helpful and courteous receptionist and the rest of the staff. 3. ROOM: Reasonably sized rooms 4. BEDROOM: Extra large bed with ultra comfortable mattress and pillows. Good luggage storage space. Very well decorated with ambient lighting from traditionally styled lamps. Two comfy sofa seaters with a coffee table. A dressing table and chair which can be doubled as a writing desk. Safety locker provided. 5. BATHROOM: Reasonable size with bath tub and shower. Hair dryer and amenities. All first class 6. BREAKFAST: High quality stuff with the taste of home cooked food. Eggs made to order. Two kinds of breads. Croissants. Butter with three types of jams and marmalade. Turkey and cheese Salami. Freshly squeezed Orange juice. Yogurt. Hot Tea and traditional Moroccan pan fried bread. The breakfast can be tailored to suit Vegans/ Vegetarians. Over all very good

Unfortunately we had to move rooms twice. Firstly, because there was an electrical noise from a fuse box in the cupboard. This wasn't an issue until the manager informed me 'the owner is aware of this'. I was surprised that we were put in a room with a known, un-resolved issue. Our second move was slightly more troubling. One evening at approximately 8PM, we heard a cracking noise from the ground. We left the room and informed the night porter. With the night porter we inspected the room and found large cracks and bulging of the tiled floor. This was obviously very troubling. The manager offered us a suite, which we gladly accepted. When moving our belongings into the suite, the night porter informed us that 'this room is worth twice what you have paid' which was in very poor taste. Ufortunatley from this point on, we were largely ignored. For the following 4 days, no one apologised or asked us how we were. When the owner returned over the weekend, he walked past us at breakfast and made not attempt to check in. We almost felt he was giving us the cold shoulder. This incident, and the staff's reaction, left a really poor taste in our mouths and we will not be returning.

Great view from the rooftop.

The roof terraces are in need of renovation.

The location is stunning.
