My family and I stayed at this Ryad for a little over a week, and I can honestly say that this has been the nicest hotel that I have stayed in - ever! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was extraordinary, LITERALLY all the rooms were unique and very beautiful and the people working there were very sweet. We loved... More

We stayed for a few nights and were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the owner. It turned out he had lived for a few years in Australia and was very enthusiastic about Australians. Even so it was a great experience. The rooms are HUUUGE and very tastefully decorated. There is a massage room in house as well. A real higjh... More

A lovely Riad in a great location for exploring Essaouira. Just a short walk down an alley takes you into the heart of the Medina and yet the Riad is so quiet and peaceful. Walking a bit further takes you to the lovely beach or else to the lively bustling fishing port. There are also plenty of good restaurants nearby... More

We arrived slightly worn out from the drive from Imlil and were greeted with a delicious ice cool beer. Throughout our stay we continued to be really well looked after. The ryad is well positioned in the middle of the medina and a short walk from the long sandy beach. We weren't organised enough to eat in unfortunately but those... More

My husband and I stayed here recently and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Essaouira. It is a lovely riad in a great location - perfect for exploring the medina. Our bedroom was very comfortable and clean, with a little terrace perfect for a relaxing moment in the sun. Breakfast was always very good and the... More

Jean did everything to make you comfortable, with advise and restaurant bookings. The Riad was centrally located and within walking distance of everything. Jean was in the process of updating the wifi so... More

What a complete haven in Essaouira! Jean and his staff are absolute gems, helping us make dinner reservations at a fabulous restaurant, serving us a brilliant breakfast with a smile, to even cooking up some rice when we were feeling ill! There was no task too great for Riad Watier. A beautiful home, and we were even greeted with 'welcome... More

Lovely Ryad right in the centre of the Medina, but very quiet. Spotlessly clean and full of colour and character. Jean Gabriel,as others have said, is a wonderful host, making you feel like part of the family. He has a brilliant selection of CDs, which you are welcome to play on his music system in the sitting room/dining room, whilst... More

We have just left Essaouira and our stay with Watier will never be forgotten! This place used to be a school, but became very run down until Jean stumbled across it. I'm glad he did! The whole experience was great - from the creative decor to the food...this place was great to come back to after a day of exploring.... More
