10/10 Exceptional

This was an amazing stay Jamal and his wife go all out to give guests a great experience- nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is huge with a big selection of different items. The pool was an added bonus. The lady who cooks (sorry I don’t recall her name) is friendly and helpful as well as a good cook! It’s a few miles/kilometres out of Essaouira so a car is probably preferable but if you want a fab place to stay that is peaceful, calm and clean then this is the place for you! I will certainly return there if I visit Essaouira again. I just enjoyed chilling out by the pool and popping into Essaouira late afternoon/early evening. If I had one tiny criticism it’s about the coffee- I drink loads every day and if they’d invest in a proper coffee machine that would be an 11/10! However the fantastic Tea Royal more than made up for the lack of coffee machine! Merci Beaucoup. A la prochaine!

Title: A Peaceful Oasis with the Warmest Welcome "We stayed at this beautiful Riad as two couples and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. While the Riad is located in a rural area with some building work and unused land nearby, the moment you step through the doors, you are completely cocooned in an authentic, peaceful paradise. You wouldn’t even know the outside world existed. The hospitality began the moment we arrived at 8pm, tired from our journey, to find a Royal Couscous and Tagine already prepared for us. It was a spectacular welcome and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The lady who looked after us was a dream; although we spoke through a translation app, her kindness was clear. She kept the place spotless and her breakfast was simply the best every morning to start the day! Jamal and Katty are incredible hosts—nothing was ever too much trouble—and their dogs, Abbi and Ruby, are just lovely and made the place feel even more like home. From the stunning decor and the amazing chandelier in the billiard room to the relaxing pool area, the Riad had everything we needed. If you want an authentic, warm, and friendly Moroccan experience, look no further. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us!"

Exceptionnel

Super sejour dans le riad de Jamal et katie. Le lieu est superbe et tres bien équipé. Les hotes sont tres conviviaux et pleins de bon conseils. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et copieux (merci Latifa) Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. C'est le meilleur endroit ou se poser (et reposer) pour visiter Essaouira
