Hotels near Essaouira airport

Pros: The location is very beautiful with palms, trees, bougainvillea and flowers. There are two heated swimming pools, one adult only. The staff is very friendly. The food in the hotel is delicious and fresh. It is so good that you always want to stay there. Our room was upgraded by the hotel which was a positive surprise. The view from our beautiful room was amazing and you could enjoy the hills with argan trees and a unique sunset.

Cons: All was excellent. My only suggestion is to add a fridge in the room.

Pros: Beautiful garden, amazing pool area, great rooms. This place is really going the extra mile to please its guests.

Cons: The only thing I can think of is that the cuisine could have been more authentic.

Pros: Impressive garden, separate children and adult pools. Loved the make-your-own hammam equipment they left in the bathroom. Liked the cats. .

Cons: Would have liked bottled water in the room

Pros: a true oasis. Rooms were little houses in amongst verdant planting made to mimic berber housing. big domed roof above the bed with inlaid coloured glass which shone through at dawn exquisite. very attentive staff with interesting food options tradiotional moroccan and with a twist great place to chill

Cons: all good

Pros: It was amazing beautiful room and private balcony. We definitely coming back soon

Pros: The ambience is pure serenity.

Pros: Nadine and Frank were great hosts.food was good, very peaceful and lovely surroundings. Wonderful stay

Pros: The property is really nice with a great view on the swimming pool. We could notice all the little attentions by Nadine and Frank in the garden and the house. The bed room was big enough and we could taste Moroccan pastries when we arrived. The decoration was plaisant and the owners were always willing to help us. The food was one of our favourite thing during our stay. Thank you!

Pros: The staff were all very welcoming and kind. The pool was beautiful. The room was lovely. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was very calm and peaceful. A real home from home. I loved it.

Cons: Nothing. It was a perfect little place. I thought it would be a little too far from town but the staff advised me of a local bus and they even drove me into town themselves twice when they were heading in!

Pros: Frank and Nadine are great hosts. Felt very welcome!! They go the extra mile. Whether you arrive late: they waited and cooked a delicious meal. Whether you need a local tip for a restaurant: they recommend 10 top spots. It felt like having family around that genuinely cares about you having a good trip but without overstepping your need for privacy and tranquility. The perfect host. We will be back and recommend many others to come here in the meantime!

Pros: The accommodation was awesome! Relaxed atmosphere, hosts are splendid, nice & cosy rooms, superb swimmingpool, lovely Mohammed & Kadidja.

Pros: We had the most beautiful stay at Villa Daba in April. The owner, Mr. Didier was incredibly helpful, very attentive, and welcoming. He answered all of my questions and more, always willing to help solve any issue and make you feel at home. The house was absolutely gorgeous, isolated, a real paradise. The pool is heated year long and very enjoyable, there is also a ping pong table. This would be great for couples or for families. There is a cute dog and friendly donkeys to pet. There is a Hamman in the backyard, free to use and you can buy a massage/mani-pedi. The food was to die for, all home-cooked by Mrs. Didier and also very affordable. Alcohol was available, which is not very common in Morocco. The room was very comfortable and quiet at night time even with other guests in the house. I stayed here with my husband and we did not have a car so we walked the 2km to the main road to grab a taxi for 10 dirhams and headed into town (10 mins car ride). It is a nice and peaceful walk but would not be easy to do with large bags, etc. You can also call a taxi to pick you up at the house itself but this costs more 100 dirhams. The owner is happy to drive you for free if he is headed into town at the same time as you which is very nice too. We wish we could've stayed longer!

Pros: breakfast was nice, simple but satisfactory. location was good too.. owners are fantastic!

Pros: We had a wonderful peaceful stay at the Villa Daba. The owners are lovely, and really helpful. They suggested places for us to go, and on one day even recommended and booked a lovely restaurant for lunch for us. And the villa quiet with a beautifully clean and warm swimming pool. We visited in October and we had the pool to ourselves. Every morning we had a continental breakfast round the swimming pool as the sun rose. Every bedroom is unique, and different, and ours was full of character and comfortable. On some evenings we had dinner at the villa, and the cooking was superb. We were asked what we would like in advance for a main, and the fish was fantastic. But so was the chicken tagine.

Cons: The only disadvantage of the villa is that it is a mile or two down a dirt road, and you need a car to get there. But we soon got used to this, and we look forward to returning!

Pros: Staff were lovely. Beautiful pool and we had a 2 bedded room

Cons: Be aware that the hotel only takes cash

Pros: Awesome breakfast, really helpful staff, late Check-out later was also uncomplicated. The short distance to Essaouira is no problem because the staff organized a cab to the Medina, it took only 10 minutes and we payed 50 Dirham, so it was really cheap. The driver gave us his number and also picked us up again later...The riad itself is beautiful and there are cool spots to hang out. You can also eat lunch or dinner there, and it tastes really good. They offer massage and hamam, too. We would definitely come again. You should really check it out!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It is realy beautiful and romantic hotel for couples on the silence place. Our room was clean. Breakfast was great. You can go to the swiming pool or you can sunbathing on the terrase. It's near Essauria, when you have a car. Staff are very friendly. And we had a perfect tea there.

Pros: It is a piece of beauty, magnificient rooms, panoramic terrace with berber tent, nice pool, beautiful hammam where you can also receive massages or treatments. The staff is very cordial and nice, we had dinner there and it was superbe!

Cons: It is not so easy to access since you have to drive about 500-800 meters of unpaved road, but it’s worthy. Don’t EVER use i-phone Maps to get there because you will get lost. Google maps instead shows the position precisely.

Pros: Fantastic back to basic Riad wich is just 15 minutes drive from Essaouira. Great breakfast is served and the overall service is excellent!

Cons: Riad Dar Etto is not easy to reach without an car. They do not serve any drinks besides typical minth tea and coffee but it is possible to buy you’re drinks at a Carrefour and keep it cool.

Pros: The owner of the Riad couldn’t have been nicer, he went the extra mile in helping me when I had some money issues, and the staff were always polite and helpful. The breakfasts are great! And I had a super massage here too. The one downside is it’s a little way from Essaouira main town, beach & medina, down a long unbuilt road, I got taxi’s there/back each day which was very easy to do as there are plenty and very cheap, the ride only takes 10-15 minutes. It’s a lovely tranquil place to stay.

Pros: Great food prepared in front of us. A very quiet and pretty courtyard with pool and restaurant.

Cons: No door on the bathroom.

Pros: We have 2 very nice days there. To the city (Al-Sawira) is about 15 min by car (and You should have a car if You go there). But this is good place to sleep and rest :) with big terrace, timing pool and very tasty breakfast. French language staff is very helpful, and even if You don't speak French they will help :)

Cons: On the map we had mistake, so firstly we got the the wrong place (it was so dark, in the middle of the night) but fortunately lady and men knew where the Riad dar Etto is, and gave us a tips - so 3 km later we was in good Riad :)

Pros: The staff were very nice, the pets are adorable and the view is great

Cons: The breakfast was not as expected. Few quantity

Pros: Lovely place to stay.Very friendly hosts & a great place to stay in a quiet countryside location.

Pros: Nice hosts, nice and clean room. There is a large garden with lot of birds. Breakfasts were tasty and coffee was perfect. I recommend to take a dinner in this place - the tajines were very tasty and eligible portions.

Cons: The hot water was available not at all time. Also the peacock was shouting during the night and broke our sleeping.

Pros: This is the second time we have spent holiday at Dour des Olivier. It’s very relaxing. Excellent meals prepared by Nourdin and Aisha. We love being there as it’s like being with family.

Cons: Overall all good perhaps if we could have internet a little more and hot water.

Pros: everything especially the staff

Cons: nothing

Pros: Great staff, very friendly, clean room. Chill pool and nice fresh made food.

Pros: Wonderful pool and outdoor area, very relaxing place to be, nice and quiet. Friendly hosts and really cool moroccan style decor.

Cons: Couldn't get hot water when I tried to shower at 10pm but didn't ask the host to fix it either, no big deal.

Cons: We booked the small doubleroom for 3 nights and unfortunately left after 2 nights ! After checking in, we asked the host to show us the swimmingpool....No one did this or told us where the pool towels are etc. Our room situation (1. day) : No curtains , no fan (as described on booking), very low water pressure in the shower - had no possibility to wash my hair decently- , no wifi -not even in the common room- , the toilet flush wasn't working proper after using it twice, had bloodmarks on out bedsheets, just one socket worked (the one in the bathroom)- so we had to charge our phone and other stuff next to the sink in the bathroom. After asking the host for a fan and some curtains , she told us the only fan they have is not in service but she will repair it somehow and solve the problem. When we returned from the city in the evening, nothing changed . No one felt responsible for the adressed problems. We felt very uncomfortable here ! Had a lot of experiences travelling across the world , but never made such a bad experience with an accomodation before. Not to mention the breakfast : poorest we had on our trip in Morocco ! (Tea/coffee, 1 small pancake , butter, some fruit jam and dry baguette). On the poolside we only found some old rusty sunbeds, which we had to search together. There was only one old parasol. Going outside on the plot at night (10-11 pm) to smoke a cigarette meant having the guardian close to you (btw. he only did his job). Had no privacy in this accomodation. We felt like disturbing all the time, sinply by being there. After asking once again for the fan and some curtains we got them on our second night, but the hosts were obviously annoyed by us ! After waking up the next morning we realised , that we had no electricity in the entire room (no light etc.) We finally decided to leave because every other discussion with the people from Riad Douar Des Oliviers would have been in vain.

Pros: Staff and layout of the place was great. Plus the array of salads for dinner was good

Cons: Beds very hard and our appt A2 was noisy as next to the kitchen so you were awoken in the eRly hours

Pros: The salad options The look of the accommodation from the outside

Cons: The dark navy blue room Lots of ants in the room The ac that cooled the entrance way rather than the actual bedroom The lukewarm welcome Dirty feeling pool No real explanation of facilities No a la carte, all buffet!

Pros: Perfectly clean and the staff were beyond helpful! Couldn’t have asked a for a better stay in essaouira, the free shuttle into the city made our holiday even more delightful

Pros: The location of the hotel makes it a place of choice for anyone traveling to Essaouira and looking to staying outside the hustle-bustle of the city. Great pool and friendly staff, very quiet and calm, the food is also very good.

Cons: Unfortunately, the septic tank had to be vented during our second night stay which made for terrible smell (especialy for our youngster) - There was great winds - but we didnt sleep much for that night... Luckily the staff apologized

Pros: The place is lovely and relaxing. All the staff were very friendly. Our accommodation was great. There was a fully fitted kitchen and living space. We had some laundry done, and had it back the next day. They also arranged for the free shuttle bus to pick us up at the bus station in Essaouira and took us to the Lodge - above our expectation!

Pros: This was an ideal two day stop over after an enjoyable tour of Marrakech

Cons: Everything

Pros: If you don’t expect a modern hotel and you are looking for nature, this is the right choice. Friendly and helpful employees. At our stay there were many families and children. They have a big pool to relax and to swim. Because of their bad exchange rate - at least during our stay-it is better to pay in cash in dirham.

Pros: The rooms are clean, spacious, and air conditioned, which is a big plus for the heat in Morocco! We also enjoyed our time relaxing by the pool, and LOVED that there was a free shuttle from the lodge to the Medina.

Cons: The only thing that was disappointing was the meals at the restaurant. There is only a buffet and a snack bar, and the buffet prices are extremely high, unless you can eat a lot. The lunch was 150 dirham, and dinner could be anywhere from 100 to 200 dirham (the higher of which did offer a main plate cooked by their chefs).

Pros: Really well kept. Very friendly staff. Dinners were all really good. Don’t follow google maps to get there, but the signs from the Domaine!

Pros: Lovely rooms and facilities. Beautiful gardens.

Pros: The pool is stunning and the staff are all very kind. Love Argan the donkey too

Pros: Brilliant stay and would go back with the family again. Welcoming staff, great food, fantastic room. An oasis in Essaouira. So pleased we chose this hotel. Great space for kids to run around and meet other kids and play safely.

Cons: There was no air con in room but the nights are breezy. I'm sure if we had said something they would have out a fan in.

Pros: Relaxed. Lovely staff. Heated pool. Good food.

Pros: The property itself had many positive appeal in all aspects.

Cons: The misunderstanding in payment led to an undeserved comment by the property management. The property management needs to be less judgmental and keep personal opinions to themselves.

Pros: We stayed in a family terrace. Beautiful house with nice living area and outdoor terrace. Done very nicely. The property is really relaxing like a little oasis. Love the place.

Cons: A little far out from essaouira particularly since need to drive down a dirt road for 8min. But as long as you plan for a little bit of extra transport time it’s well worth staying here.

Pros: The accomodation from the outside & restaurant/ pool area were beautiful. Our accomodation had a fridge & kitchen facilities. The shower area was lovely. The sitting area on patio was nice as lots of lovely flowers/ shrubs to enjoy. We spent a lot of time around the pool and met some very interesting families. As english speakers, it was a great opportunity to try our French. The donkey & cart carrying our luggage was a nice touch. The car park was in a safe & secure area. Breakfast was basic but nice. The kitchen staff were all very pleasant & attentive in terms of my husband's dairy allery. The drive to Essaouira beach was approx 20 mins. The Medina was one of the best. Lots of nice cafes & restaurants.

Cons: The last 2km drive to the location is rubbly & very bumpy.The rooms inside were very basic. The sofa in the sitting area was metallic & not very comfortable. One Bedroom had very limited storage apart from a metal shelf & hooks. The bedrooms were not dusted well & there were cobwebs in sight which we cleared away. The mattreses were hard. On our first night we found ants in one of the bedrooms but we noticed the next day that housekeeping had sprayed the rooms. We had 2 evening meals in the restaurant which were really disappointing. The chicken tagine with lemon & potaoes on our first night was swamped in oil and pretty tasteless. The potatoes turned into mash. The second night we had 2 dishes - lamb & veg cous cous. It was so bad we hardly ate anything. Everything was just watery & mushy. The third night we ate out in Essaouira & the meal we got was cheaper & tastier.

Pros: Quite, clear and massive swimming pool.

Cons: It’s a little tired and needs some work . Food ! They need to re look at the lunch + supper menu, it wouldn’t take much to bring this to twentieth century !

Pros: Big hotel with lots of Amenities. Good food. The hotel is a bit tired and the staff needs better training. Overall, I would stay again, it is a solid 4 star hotel.

Cons: Some communal areas were not kept up and dirty (not rooms).

Pros: Very amazing hotel with a great view on the ocean. We got lucky as we got upgraded to a better room which was amazing too. It was very clean and the people working there are very nice too.

Pros: Excellent choice and plenty of everything at breakfast. Spacious, comfortable bedroom with balcony upgraded at check in to Luxury. Golf course nearby - good standard for all levels of play.

Cons: Food in bar poor - mostly deep fried "tapas". Main restaurant only had 3 course buffet - @350 MAD. it was good but not every night - No opportunity to have just one course. A la carte restaurant expensive.

Pros: bed comfortable plumbing and paint need refreshing in bathroom staff marvellous breakfast and supper delicious

Cons: in the middle of nowhere mainly for golfers

Pros: Lunch are OK, but we have to wait till 12 noon, the staff said they will start at that time.

Cons: Very dirty, 5star Hotel but no hair dryer, no coffee no tea in room, no floor towel, small shampoo bath bottle had been be used left half botle. I really disappointed to stay in such a big chain hotel like Sofitel.

Pros: Nothing comes to my mind

Cons: Room quality. Lack of renovation. Slow and poor service. Always needed to ask twice. Room not cleaned until 4PM. Two interventions required to finally have it done. Never again

Pros: Attentive and friendly staff - as always Great place to relaxe after a hard day of work

Pros: Good size room , 5 minutes walk to the beach ,

Cons: Missing good wifi

Pros: The swimming pool was nice.

Cons: I think I expected a bit more for the price but everything was nice. The bathroom was very nice and it was quite and peaceful. It's a bit out of town but still close to the beach.

Pros: The pool

Cons: The hotel was surrounded by building works which were unsightly but not noisy

Cons: Small choices of meal during breakfast

Pros: The panini and the chips were nice and the pool attendant was helpful and friendly.

Cons: The room was dirty, the reception staff were not friendly, the bed sheets had holes in them and the shower was broken.

Pros: it is an pure muslim hotel, with strong muslim rooms. i had to rent another room for my husband!!! the hotel is very dirty, we had only warm water in one room, staff is ofensif to non muslims. I am muslim but cannot accept this treatment in an "international" hotel. we cancelled after one night_

Cons: as mentionned above, you have to declare that it is a pure muslim hotel, with strongest religious rules and food agapted only for muslims. no alcohol, no married people acepted without the legal papers( who carries them thesedays with in the holidays???) vey ,very bad experience, very unclean, many things broken, no warm water

Pros: the riad is a nice place to stay, rooms are comfortable and perfect size for a few days- its necessary that you have a car since it is quite far from the medina (or at least go by petit taxi)

Cons: you need a car to reach the hotel from the medina- the area from the medina to the hotel is probably not the best during the night

Pros: a better than average breakfast, friendly and helpfull staff and closeness to the beach

Cons: each time we want to go to the center, we need to take a taxi, the neighbourhood had no restaurants or shops to get supplies

Pros: It was a nice place for people on a budget/backpackers; cheap and friendly.

Cons: It was quite a walk from the hotel to the medina, no a/c or fan, breakfast cost extra (but not too much).

Pros: Essentially, the price! It's a bit out the way and nothing special in terms of amenities, but it was very good value.

Cons: Most of the rooms don't seem to have an exterior window. Also no air conditioning, but that should not, perhaps, be expected for the price. TV provided but only two channels, both in Arabic.

Pros: The rooms were clean and comfortable but most impressive was how welcoming and helpful the staff are; even if you don't speak the same language.
