Lovely friendly staff, made you feel so welcome.
Fabulous views of the sea
Travelling with my daughter and felt a very safe area for us to stay and explore
Very beautiful riad with amazing views to the ocean. The restaurant was also quiet nice and not as expensive as one could imagine for such restaurant with views to the ocean.
A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. We had a room with a direct sea view, and the sound of the sea crashing on the rocks below was hypnotic. Brilliant, friendly, kind, attentive staff, a fantastic roof terrace, amazing views, incredibly comfortable bed. It is a lovely, lovely place.
Amazing staff on front desk, great hot water and quick to warm up, and amazing views. It was a little windy with breeze coming through at times but we were there during a really windy period. The staff are hilarious and the food is top notch (esp dinner).
Beautifully decorated. Great views from restaurant and terrace. Very good restaurant. Very generous breakfast that was included.
Make sure you ask for sea view room for a great view of the beach and the Atlantic ocean

Amazing place! Everything is high end! Beautiful view and traditional
National style! Gorgeous restaurant, friendly people! Thank you for hospitality and charm !
The Riad Mimouna is beautiful (my wife would say”magical”)! From the moment you walk in the main door the beauty of the interior stands out. Rooms are decorated in a very traditional manner, and are a great space for a couple in our case. The real surprise was going up to the roof top restaurant and lounge area. This overlooked the ocean and might be the best view in Essaouira. Our breakfasts were served here and what a way to start your day! I would recommend this Riad to everyone.
Perfect location inside the medina, and right on the water. From our room we could see the sunset, we had a wonderful stay. The only things I would add are a luggage bench and one of those retractable lines to hang clothes on that sometimes are located along above the bathtub.
A really nice riad with very good and helpful staff and a beautiful roof top restaurant. Very good food.
The bathroom needed updating and the shower above the bath hit the window instead of the bath so was difficult to use (room 311)
Breakfast was the same each morning which could be monotonous after 2.
A wonderful location though and very nicely presented.
Unbelievable beautiful view from the room facing the ocean.
Food was very good too.
Only negative is that they publish having airconditioning in the rooms well they do not, not nice.
But with the ocean air was good enough.

It was a nice stay overall. Excellent location where I could visits all the spots on foot. The staffs there were nice and helpful. The room was clean (just the light was a bit dim). I enjoyed the breakfast on the rooftop very much.
By the way, the tax charge stated on Hotel.com was incorrect MAD19.8 per person night, but turned out MAD30 instead) which made me a bit confused during check-out. Kindly amend the information.
We first stayed in a room with no view, within the riad. The shower area was a bit tricky as water kept going into the main bathroom floor. I then asked for a room with a view and paid extra for the sea view suite. From then our vacation was really wonderful. With the seaview, plenty of space in the room with comfort, a bathtub, it was perfect.
Staff were very accomodating and friendly. The staff at the breakfast area were very good with your 3 year old and kept playing with her. We had dinner there as well. Food is very good. Breakfast is served at the table itself and was nice.
This Riad was right next to the sea. The views were fabulous from the sun deck. There was also a great indoor sun lounge if too chilly outside. Both were next to the restaurant which also had excellent views and the food was also good. The room was comfortable, clean and had windows which was a welcome bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Essaouira was much more pleasant and cleaner than Marrakech. The woodworking area definitely worth a visit. It has a great beach although the sea was rather cold! Good selection of restaurants.
Nice stay, extraordinary views, convenient location, and well appointed rooms. Regretfully a poor and disappointing management service with misleading practices on room rate and reservations. Disappointing in the end, will not come back, too bad.
