April 2013 we stayed in Essaouira for two nights. The first night we stayed at Atlas hotel which looks really swanky and nice. It cost over $125 a night. It was a huge disappointment. We stayed at des Iles the next night and it was perfect for only $65 per night! It was clean, conveniently located to the medina and... More

This hotel is in the middle of renovations and everything is torn apart. The grounds have not been maintained in a long time, the locks on the windows at ground level don't work, the whole hotel smells from paint, and the sound of hammering can be heard from every room. We went there first and then quickly left for a... More

I have been staying here, half board, since 28th August and leave on Saturday. On arrival I too had a problem with my booking, but our fibre optic superhighway is not infallible. Following a brief apology I was cheerfully shown to a room, better than the one I had booked, and heard no more. I cannot speak for the bungalows... More

I remember when I was a kid in 1975. My father Mokhtar Zerhouni known as a hero in that town, we were treated very well. I went back in 1991 and I was treated like a king without knowing who I was. People are very nice in a extaodinary location. I LOVE ESSAOUIRA, CITY OF THE WIND AND FRESH FISH... More

Liers. My parents saved money for 3 years to come and visit me here and this hotel ruined their first impression of Morocco and hurt our relationship. I called the hotel several times to confirm our reservations to ensure two things: that we would have nice rooms with a view of the ocean and would have quiet at night. Our... More

We arrived at Essaouria for four days of our holiday after staying in Marrakesh for eight days and it was certainly alot quieter here. We travelled with Supatours, a very pleasant and comfortable journey. The barrow men descended on you as soon as the coach arrived which was a little intimidating but as we knew the hotel was only a... More

We were stuck for a place to stay and were so tired after a tonne of travel that we settled on this one. Positives: It's on the beach, close to the medina and has wifi in the lobby. There is also a bar/lounge and a pool. AC in room. Negatives: The room had a huge sewage drainage issue so the... More

Arrived in Essaouria via Supratours and was aware that the 'barrow boys' would be waiting-no taxi's at the bus station, so you have little choice unless you want to drag your luggage yourself! Walked a few minutes around the corner to Des Iles Hotel. Greeted by some extremely friendly and smiling receptionists. Shown immediately to our rooms, which were still... More

We decided to head to Essaouira for our last night in Morrocco after spending time in Marrakech then heading through the mountains to the desert and back to M'kech. It was heaven to escape M'kech and we arrived using the Supratours bus and just went to the Tourist info office just inside the Medina and decided on a nice hotel... More
