First of all I have to apologise to the Watier for scoring everything wrong! I mistakenly marked 1 instead of 5 so have asked that my original review be removed. I wrote the review late at night and was obviously still too relaxed after my holiday. Sorry Jean-Gabriel! We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of October after... more

We thought Riad Watier was beautiful. A lovely roof-top terrace with views of the sea on three sides. Large rooms with comfortable beds. No bottled water in the room, but the hotel furnishes water it has filtered itself. Breakfast includes croissants, in addition to Moroccan bread, and made to order eggs. The Riad can provide dinner, and although we did... more

Located right in the middle of the old Medina, Riad Watier's seems to be a world in itself, as I'walked inside the elegant Riad recently remodeled by Jean Gabriel Nucci, I felt immediately at home.. Stilish, large rooms furnished with local taste, but never pretentious...large and super confortable beds, and the fresh breeze comes from the large windows..I can barely... more

We stayed here for three wonderful nights. Extremely relaxing and the hospitality was brilliant. I would recommend it to everyone. more

We stayed a few nights here just after New Year. Jean-Gabriel was very helpful and even got us his favourite table at one of his favourite restaurants while we were there. The room was very large with a seating area and was very clean. The brekfasts were excellent on the roof with great views, but watch out for the seagulls!... more

This was my 3rd visit traveling in Morocco but I loved Essaouira and went this year for a 1 week stay, solo. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and exceedingly accommodating. They truly go out of their way to make it a wonderful stay. Can't say enough good things about it!! more

Forget the bad reviews for this Riad (see "Smelly Rooms" and "The Leisure Nightmare"): they are so obviously fake, anyway. Believe all of the good reviews: they are true. We had a wonderful stay here. I'm not going to repeat everything everyone else has said, but I do want to highlight the wonderful selection of art that Jean-Gab. has collected... more

We stayed at the Riad Watier on our honeymoon as part of a trip round Morrocco. The owner Jean-Gabrielle and his staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and did everything to ensure we had a lovely stay. The room was huge and the nicest we stayed in during our whole trip. The Riad is lovely and airy with a central... more

Returned this morning from 4 nights at Riad Watier, myself and my two grown up daughters whilst the men in the family were watching the rugby elsewhere! Absolutely fabulous, catered for our every need, unobtrusive good service and sound advice. We shall return with more of our friends and family. Clean, comfortable, central, can hardly praise it enough - go... more
