We wish we had time to stay longer. Our room was gorgeous and well decorated with comfortable beds. It is a 1 minute walk around the building onto the beach and far enough from the medina to enjoy a 20 minute stroll on the sand which means its peaceful at night. The restaurants served lovely food and it was all very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again. ##### Katy ### 10/10 Excellent #### JuanRamón, Barcelona Apr 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities el Riad es muy bonito y acogedor.

Excellent, friendly staff that made staying there a pleasure. The have 2 restaurants with delicious food and a clean pool. It's a little walk up to the medina (say 15 to 20 mins) but that it straight up the beach and so was beautiful in itself. It's right beside the beach so if it's not too windy then that's great to hang out on too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy Sep 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The proprietors and staff were all delightful, happy to help and always efficient.

Well positioned near the beach and an easy flat walk to the medina. Food was varied and good value. We think the hot water was desalinated, as it tasted very salty, and left our skin feeling a little sticky. Unfortunately a new building on one side of the beautifully kept pool meant it lost the sun at about 2pm when we were there late Oct/ early Nov. However we would have no hesitation in recommending Riad Zahra in Essaouira. ##### Graham ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corentin Oct 5, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Proche de la plage, gérants très accueillants Excellent accueil, chambres spacieuses, grande piscine; les deux restaurants proposent de la cuisine variée.

Muy cerca de la playa y cerca de la Medina. Se puede ír andando. Todo son facilidades en el Riad, trato familiar y los consejos de Javier son muy útiles. ##### Natalia-Alvaro ### 10/10 Excellent #### melanie , france Aug 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parfait Séjour court mais agréable , personnel souriant, attentionnné, multilingue et professionnel, prix plus que abordable en vue de la qualité du service.

The room was dark, no view - well, there was a view of a backyard shed. This room should be used for storage, not for a tourist room. They claimed the place was full, I guess someone had to end up with this room, bad luck of the draw. But, I am beginning to wonder whether hotels have 'special' rooms set aside for the discounted online booking services such as Hotels.com's secret prices. Soap (toileteries) were sparse, old furniture that felt as though it was about to fall apart, bed very uncomfortable, dark hallways and room, poor wifi connection. It has no beach or water view since there is now a new building blocking that view, but then I did mention that the room we had was on the ground floor overlooking a shed area that stored surf boards. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 2, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Good location and public spaces, uncomfortable bed Cons: Rooms: super thin walls, uncomfortable beds, no amenities like safe, tea/coffee service, and the bathroom supplies are meager. Also the window coverings are thin and the room never gets dark. Finally, our tv did not work until I asked at the front desk and someone came to fix it. When I complained about the noise (we could hear noise from the lobby and people showering and using the toilet above and next to us), the female owner told me my hearing was "sensitive." Pros: good location near the beach and the board walk, a 15 minute walk to the medina. Also, the lobby is pretty, the male owner and young woman who works the desk are friendly and helpful, and the seafood restaurant on the top floor has great views and tasty food and good service. Good breakfast--fresh fruit options and pots of hot strong coffee lots of bread options They also have a nice pool, but it isn't heated. There are a few turtles who live in the pool area, which was fun. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Riad Imilchil](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Imilchil.h16374725.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Irhalne](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Irhalne.h15731113.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad berbere or heart of the medina of marrakech,](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Berbere-Or-Heart-Of-The-Medina-Of-Marrakech.h109388184.Hotel-Information) > > [MEDINA ESSAOUIRA HOUSE](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Medina-Essaouira-House.h18797418.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Le Dromadaire Bleu by Weekome](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Le-Dromadaire-Bleu.h38004943.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-The-Pearl-Marrakech.h4909170.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Al Khansaa](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Riad-Al-Khansaa.h10084701.Hotel-Information) > > [Dar Assiya](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Dar-Assiya.h13242334.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Majdoulina](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Majdoulina.h19420090.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Zinoun & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Zinoun-Spa.h1587208.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad l'Orange Bleue](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-LOrange-Bleue.h8745723.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Eden](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Eden.h1337913.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Sadaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Sadaka.h10068981.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Jnan Adam](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Jnan-Adam.h112178033.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad La Fontaine Bleue](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Riad-La-Fontaine-Bleue.h15745703.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Al Zahia](https://www.expedia.ca/Essaouira-Hotels-Riad-Al-Zahia.h2691948.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Dar Zaouia](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Dar-Zaouia.h96468229.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Adore](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Adore.h19409327.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Ifoulki](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Ifoulki.h20065106.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Azra Marrakech](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Azra-Marrakech.h42628149.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad El Youssoufi](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-El-Youssoufi.h12294224.Hotel-Information) > > [Palais Tinmel](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Palais-Tinmel.h13345713.Hotel-Information) > > [Ksar Anika Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Ksar-Anika.h13483810.Hotel-Information) > > [Marrakech Riads, Angsana Heritage collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Angsana-Riads-Collection-Morroco.h1784957.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Dar Sara](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Dar-Sara.h2908894.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Elijah](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Elijah.h100181175.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Princesse Du Désert ](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Princesse-Du-Desert.h100959581.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Sokera Hotel & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Sokera-Hotel-Spa.h42434381.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Dar Nakous](https://www.expedia.ca/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Dar-Nakous.h12494894.Hotel-Information)
