"Stunning Riad, with a more modern feel. We had a very warm welcome, with a full introduction to Essaoira. Beautiful rooms and breakfast in the roof where you can see the sea. It’s situated just off a Main Street and feels very safe and the breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this enough, we only stayed 2 night but I could easily have stayed a week!"
