THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. THERE WERE INADEQUATE FIrE PRECAUTIONS. The only exit that we knew about was down a narrow staircase to the welcoming deck. There were no signs to indicate emergency exits. As the hotel repeatedly uses candles and open fires this is extremely dangerous. I suggest that each hotel room has a sign showing how to exit the hotel using alternative exits in the event of a fire The hotel would never have passed fire regulations in this country.

Unique ambiance, loved the decor and breakfast on the terrace.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Maroc. The accommodations are chic and the location is excellent. Having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the water with the cool ocean breeze was a special way to start each day. We hope to be back soon.

Everything was excellent!

Fatima was our host for breakfast. She always had a special touched everything she did. The to location could not be better. Cost a little more than some of the other Riads in town, but well worth it and still not expensive by any standard in the west.

Just be wary of the seagulls as there are a lot of them by the port. They can make noise early morning but if your door is closed it will be quiet.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST STAY IN ESSOURIA! We arrived here and were very pleased by our greetings, the excellent location and the grandeur of the place. In all our travels this is near the top of our favorite places for the decorations and the stateliness of the place. The have a bar open from 3pm if you wish, a chess room (!), a fireplace room, multiple sitting rooms and reading room with selections of books as well as a huge roof top terrace with a great view of the fort and harbour and beach where breakfast is served. GOOD WIFI! Bed and bedding was great, towels were soft, supplied shampoo, body wash hair dryer and good shower! Get a covered place to sit so seagulls don't get you. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruit juice, coffee, omelette or eggs to order, bread with butter, jams & marmalade, traditional crepes...all served by nice staff. We had to leave early to catch a plane and we told them and they got their staff to give us the same breakfast 45 minutes earlier. Very kind. Breakfast starts normally at 8:15. Check in was easy and they had an attendant bring our bags to the room. We tipped him. Villa Maroc location and roof deck is the best part of staying here. Easy parking nearby as there are large lots run by guys who charge you by night. Our vehicle was fine and it was parked overnight for two nights and days. It was a 200 metres walk to the front door of hotel from where we were parked - very easy. Simply walk through the front main gate arch and walk 50 metres and take a very immediate left after the wall. It is 20 metres down to the right and CLEARLY MARKED. Check out was easy. Again bags were brought to front desk by attendant. What was also very nice was the owner took the time to walk to each table at breakfast and chat with everyone. I thought this was very classy of her and was a great reflection for the overcall care she and all her staff had for her guests. Top marks for the added effort and professionalism.

The staff looked slightly confused (although generally helpful). The breakfast was disappointing - it consisted of a tiny pot of granola, orange juice and a few pieces of bread.

The location is superb and the overall quality of the property is excellent.

We had a few sound issues in our first room, not the fault of the property, but we really appreciated being looked after. Thank you.

Completely charmed by this hotel. So stylish in its’ simplicity. Just perfect and loved our stay. Especially loved dining in the small rooms, breakfast on the terrace and the hot water bottle.

We had the suite at the top of the RIAD my wife and I and the water pressure was relatively weak. Children were in lower rooms and did not experience this problem

Excellent RIAD , lovely location and great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Nothing was aproblem. Central and great for shopping, eating and walks. Lots of entertainment in the main square. Quite close to the beach

If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs, while all part of the experience the sounds from the Medina don’t lend to a great nights sleep!

villa Maroc is exceptionally charming being just on the edge of the Medina and close to the beach. The staff are all exceptional without exception. We had a noise issue with our room and asked to be moved, which was no issue to them and arranged quickly which was fantastic.

Located near Taros, the bar that played DJ beats from late afternoon to after 2 am every single night! I slept ok with my wax style earplugs but my husband did not. Hotel does their best to call every night to have them turn off the music but to no avail. We were gifted a jar of jam for our trouble which was thoughtful.

Lovely breakfast spread on rooftop, in particular their house orange jam was delicious, wait staff particularly attentive . Innumerable cozy and beautifully decorated sitting rooms throughout. Well curated boutique store. Location within the Medina is superb.

- some Interieur looks a bit old/ used / dusty - worth the money but could be renovated a bit - the old style is chosen on purpose but doesn't always help the venue

- well situated in the medina of Essaouira - super friendly staff / always smiling and supporting - great rooftop terasse for breakfast
