This is the best hotel we have stayed in Morocco. Much better than the Sofitels we have tried in Fes and Marrakech. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from the Medina, which is very nice: no vendors trying to push you anything. The best prices in Morocco for any handicraft.
Rooms have good size, the bathroom is large enough, yet they have the weird separated toilet. My balcony faced the pool, which is very pleasant. Staff at the front desk is unbelievably helpful, so is the breakfast one. Food is very good. Internet is free of charge all over the hotel.
Only thing I didn't like is that they don't let you in the heated pool during the day. It's for spa use only. It was cold and we couldn't use the pool outside.
It was a great stay. If I come back to Essaouira one day, would stay here.

We have stayed here for 2 weeks in June this year. First we had the standard room, after 2 days there was a problem in the bathroom. They upgraded us a superior room, which was a great room to stay. Service is very good, aspecially Loubna Boubrik the Front Office Manager. The pool is very nice, although you have be there early in the morning to catch a sunbed.
Along the beach there are some very good restaurants for lunch/dinner for cheap prices.
It's about a 10-15 min walk to the Medina.

We (family of 4) stayed in one of the exceutive suites at Le Medina. The room was very nice, clean and spacious with a good balcony overlooking the pool. We found the service at the hotel to be world class with highly trained and courteous staff. The outdoor pool was very nice and so was the hammam.
The only letdown was the indoor "pool" which is just an oversized bath tub which gets extremely overcrowded after 7pm (which then becomes free to use)! Yuk! I am not sure why this rule is in place - managemnt would do well to lift this restriction.
Essaioura itself is nice albeit a bit small, so 3 days would have been more than enough (we stayed 5).

I believe this was a Sofitel before Accor rebranded it as part of its MGallery Collection. Quite what they have done apart from change the notepaper is not clear. This hotel is extremely tired and, in parts, rather grubby. The lobby area has a strange, and I suspect unintentional 70s feel. However, the location is perfect, being right opposite the beach yet within walking distance of the medina. And the food isn't bad. The pool is OK but surrounded with plastic decking that is now warping dangerously. Wifi worked only in the lobby, and the 25 euro a day wired internet in the rooms didn't work at all. Free wifi throughout a hotel is inexpensive to provide and to be expected in a hotel of this level. This is just a very poorly managed hotel, with no sign of senior duty managers at any time, a chaotic front desk and levels of service that suggested poor organisation and lack of training.
