We stayed there for two nights in early January and really enjoyed the amazing ocean view (and sound!) from the Nour room. Our room was very tastefully decorated, just like the rest of the hotel. The view from the terrace, where breakfast is served, is wonderful. Our room was quite cold, though, so we had to ask for a heater.... More

We specifically chose this Riad for its location by the sea and stayed in the Abla apartment which is laid out over 2 floors with great views from both the bedroom and living room below. The kitchen is small but has all you need and had we been staying more than 3 nights we would have liked to cook one... More

I stayed here in December for Christmas and had a lovely visit. The staff are helpful and friendly and the rooms clean and pretty. The roof top terrace was a wonderful place to have breakfasts and afternoon tea and has great views over the medina and the sea. Best to note that these rooms are designed to be cool for... More

This Guest house is lovely!!! We chose a double room with a sea view and we weren't disspointed. The room was small and cosy. This was the first place that we did not feel the cold in the night. There were candles lit in the hallway and this made the place romantic. The people that worked at the guest house... More

We had a very nice time here, a very welcoming experience. We even decided to stay for a few extra nights. No need to get the room with sea sight, cause just hearing it is priceless. More

Stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The hotel has nice views of the coast if you get the right room, but you can always go up and sit on the roof terrace. The room was spacious enough and spotless. It did get a bit damp though due to being right by the sea but I don't... More

During a recent trip to Morocco we stayed a couple of nights at Dar Al Bahar in Essaouira. It had been recommended to us by the British couple who owned Riad Merstane, the place we'd been staying in Marrakech. It was where they stayed when they visited Essaouira and I'm indebted to them for letting me in on the secret... More

I was looking forward to staying at this hotel when we booked as it is right on the shore overlooking the ocean - we were not disappointed! When we arrived through the maze of the ancient medina we were welcomed and shown to our room - it looked down onto the narrow streets below. While the bathroom was a bit... More

This must be one of the best places to stay in Essaouria. It overlooks the sea, you can watch the sunset from the rooftop terrace, it's within walking distance of the heart of the town, yet quiet and very relaxed. The rooms are simple but sylish, with lots of local artwork on the walls, and the staff are extremely welcoming... More

I have never been to such an interesting hotel, the rooms are small but that's where the negatives end. The room overlooked the sea and the sound of the waves was just wonderful, if it is too noisy you can always close the window! The breakfast was lovely, some fruit in a bowl, fresh orange juice, rolls, butter, jam and... More
