Hotels near Essaouira airport

Pros: The gardens and sitting areas were amazing. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows. Nice quiet (and romantic!) dining room for adults only. Had a wonderful massage

Cons: Our room was rather noisy as this is clearly a family place, with lots of babies. On the whole it is possible to have a peaceful holiday but you need to take families into account

Pros: Everything. Wonderful place!!

Pros: Impressive garden, separate children and adult pools. Loved the make-your-own hammam equipment they left in the bathroom. Liked the cats. .

Cons: Would have liked bottled water in the room

Pros: a true oasis. Rooms were little houses in amongst verdant planting made to mimic berber housing. big domed roof above the bed with inlaid coloured glass which shone through at dawn exquisite. very attentive staff with interesting food options tradiotional moroccan and with a twist great place to chill

Cons: all good

Pros: It was amazing beautiful room and private balcony. We definitely coming back soon

Pros: We had the most beautiful stay at Villa Daba in April. The owner, Mr. Didier was incredibly helpful, very attentive, and welcoming. He answered all of my questions and more, always willing to help solve any issue and make you feel at home. The house was absolutely gorgeous, isolated, a real paradise. The pool is heated year long and very enjoyable, there is also a ping pong table. This would be great for couples or for families. There is a cute dog and friendly donkeys to pet. There is a Hamman in the backyard, free to use and you can buy a massage/mani-pedi. The food was to die for, all home-cooked by Mrs. Didier and also very affordable. Alcohol was available, which is not very common in Morocco. The room was very comfortable and quiet at night time even with other guests in the house. I stayed here with my husband and we did not have a car so we walked the 2km to the main road to grab a taxi for 10 dirhams and headed into town (10 mins car ride). It is a nice and peaceful walk but would not be easy to do with large bags, etc. You can also call a taxi to pick you up at the house itself but this costs more 100 dirhams. The owner is happy to drive you for free if he is headed into town at the same time as you which is very nice too. We wish we could've stayed longer!

Pros: breakfast was nice, simple but satisfactory. location was good too.. owners are fantastic!

Pros: We had a wonderful peaceful stay at the Villa Daba. The owners are lovely, and really helpful. They suggested places for us to go, and on one day even recommended and booked a lovely restaurant for lunch for us. And the villa quiet with a beautifully clean and warm swimming pool. We visited in October and we had the pool to ourselves. Every morning we had a continental breakfast round the swimming pool as the sun rose. Every bedroom is unique, and different, and ours was full of character and comfortable. On some evenings we had dinner at the villa, and the cooking was superb. We were asked what we would like in advance for a main, and the fish was fantastic. But so was the chicken tagine.

Cons: The only disadvantage of the villa is that it is a mile or two down a dirt road, and you need a car to get there. But we soon got used to this, and we look forward to returning!

Pros: Staff were lovely. Beautiful pool and we had a 2 bedded room

Cons: Be aware that the hotel only takes cash

Pros: Beautiful grounds, the pool was lovely and we managed to swim in January! The reception staff were very helpful.

Cons: Bar snacks to be available all day. There was a buffet lunch but no lighter option.

Pros: Good place to relax, rooms are very good and food was okay ☺️

Pros: Lovely staff, free shuttle bus to town was great, excelled food selection for veggies as well.

Cons: A little bit chilly in the winter months in the rooms, but guess thats just expected

Pros: Nice staff, beautiful scenery, clean and heated pool ;), clean hamam & great massage! no unfulfilled wishes

Pros: The hotel was great.

Pros: Food and suite were good, so was the pool

Cons: You need a shuttle every time you want to leave the location. They forgot to pick us up although we booked the shuttle back from essaouira

Pros: Amazing chilled out place, good location and good transport to the town. If you need a few days of nothing but just relax this is the place.

Cons: Downfall is the barking dogs late at night and during the night. So if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. And not for all as the beds are really hard.

Pros: The property is beautifully situated, great staff and service. Perfect place to relax

Cons: It is located a bit out of Essaouira. This was not a problem for us tho

Pros: The food was good and the pool was warm

Pros: The staff were very nice, the pets are adorable and the view is great

Cons: The breakfast was not as expected. Few quantity

Pros: Lovely place to stay.Very friendly hosts & a great place to stay in a quiet countryside location.

Pros: Beautiful rural property. Very peaceful. Lovely hosts.

Cons: All good

Pros: It’s so pretty! Options for dinner were great and the hosts seem kind. Location was perfect for skipping by Essaouira en route to Agadir. Right on the road. Room was very comfortable (but a little cold).

Cons: Breakfast, thank you for having it! However it was the least generous breakfast I’ve had in Morocco, no eggs, one kind of bread, and trouble asking for more coffee. I was a bit surprised since dinner was so yummy. I hope the hosts improve this for future guests. Also, the WiFi wasn’t there any more when I woke up. I didn’t want to wake my hosts, so I used my cell data. It was on again a few hours later. For the weather in January, it would be better to have more blankets.

Pros: This is the second time we have spent holiday at Dour des Olivier. It’s very relaxing. Excellent meals prepared by Nourdin and Aisha. We love being there as it’s like being with family.

Cons: Overall all good perhaps if we could have internet a little more and hot water.

Pros: everything especially the staff

Cons: nothing

Pros: Great staff, very friendly, clean room. Chill pool and nice fresh made food.

Pros: Wonderful pool and outdoor area, very relaxing place to be, nice and quiet. Friendly hosts and really cool moroccan style decor.

Cons: Couldn't get hot water when I tried to shower at 10pm but didn't ask the host to fix it either, no big deal.

Cons: We booked the small doubleroom for 3 nights and unfortunately left after 2 nights ! After checking in, we asked the host to show us the swimmingpool....No one did this or told us where the pool towels are etc. Our room situation (1. day) : No curtains , no fan (as described on booking), very low water pressure in the shower - had no possibility to wash my hair decently- , no wifi -not even in the common room- , the toilet flush wasn't working proper after using it twice, had bloodmarks on out bedsheets, just one socket worked (the one in the bathroom)- so we had to charge our phone and other stuff next to the sink in the bathroom. After asking the host for a fan and some curtains , she told us the only fan they have is not in service but she will repair it somehow and solve the problem. When we returned from the city in the evening, nothing changed . No one felt responsible for the adressed problems. We felt very uncomfortable here ! Had a lot of experiences travelling across the world , but never made such a bad experience with an accomodation before. Not to mention the breakfast : poorest we had on our trip in Morocco ! (Tea/coffee, 1 small pancake , butter, some fruit jam and dry baguette). On the poolside we only found some old rusty sunbeds, which we had to search together. There was only one old parasol. Going outside on the plot at night (10-11 pm) to smoke a cigarette meant having the guardian close to you (btw. he only did his job). Had no privacy in this accomodation. We felt like disturbing all the time, sinply by being there. After asking once again for the fan and some curtains we got them on our second night, but the hosts were obviously annoyed by us ! After waking up the next morning we realised , that we had no electricity in the entire room (no light etc.) We finally decided to leave because every other discussion with the people from Riad Douar Des Oliviers would have been in vain.

Pros: Awesome breakfast, really helpful staff, late Check-out later was also uncomplicated. The short distance to Essaouira is no problem because the staff organized a cab to the Medina, it took only 10 minutes and we payed 50 Dirham, so it was really cheap. The driver gave us his number and also picked us up again later...The riad itself is beautiful and there are cool spots to hang out. You can also eat lunch or dinner there, and it tastes really good. They offer massage and hamam, too. We would definitely come again. You should really check it out!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It is realy beautiful and romantic hotel for couples on the silence place. Our room was clean. Breakfast was great. You can go to the swiming pool or you can sunbathing on the terrase. It's near Essauria, when you have a car. Staff are very friendly. And we had a perfect tea there.

Pros: It is a piece of beauty, magnificient rooms, panoramic terrace with berber tent, nice pool, beautiful hammam where you can also receive massages or treatments. The staff is very cordial and nice, we had dinner there and it was superbe!

Cons: It is not so easy to access since you have to drive about 500-800 meters of unpaved road, but it’s worthy. Don’t EVER use i-phone Maps to get there because you will get lost. Google maps instead shows the position precisely.

Pros: Fantastic back to basic Riad wich is just 15 minutes drive from Essaouira. Great breakfast is served and the overall service is excellent!

Cons: Riad Dar Etto is not easy to reach without an car. They do not serve any drinks besides typical minth tea and coffee but it is possible to buy you’re drinks at a Carrefour and keep it cool.

Pros: The owner of the Riad couldn’t have been nicer, he went the extra mile in helping me when I had some money issues, and the staff were always polite and helpful. The breakfasts are great! And I had a super massage here too. The one downside is it’s a little way from Essaouira main town, beach & medina, down a long unbuilt road, I got taxi’s there/back each day which was very easy to do as there are plenty and very cheap, the ride only takes 10-15 minutes. It’s a lovely tranquil place to stay.

Cons: Host does not speak english. In booking.com site is mentioned that accommodation will be paid in local currency on site in cash. Host told in the evening that dinner price is 20 for 2 person. Of course we thought this is local currency. But when was paymenttime, host told that it was euros. So opposite than in booking.com-site. So it was very expensine (10 times more expensive). So do not buy anything extra from host but only accommoditation via booking.com.

Pros: Great food prepared in front of us. A very quiet and pretty courtyard with pool and restaurant.

Cons: No door on the bathroom.

Pros: We have 2 very nice days there. To the city (Al-Sawira) is about 15 min by car (and You should have a car if You go there). But this is good place to sleep and rest :) with big terrace, timing pool and very tasty breakfast. French language staff is very helpful, and even if You don't speak French they will help :)

Cons: On the map we had mistake, so firstly we got the the wrong place (it was so dark, in the middle of the night) but fortunately lady and men knew where the Riad dar Etto is, and gave us a tips - so 3 km later we was in good Riad :)

Pros: Fair property needs maintenance update floor need tiling not painted surface

Cons: As above comment

Pros: Nice resort-type hotel, great kids-club

Cons: Staff was friendly but a little disorganized, food was not great (breakfast OK, but lunch / dinner subpar), rooms could use a refurbishment / upgrade

Pros: Property location is great.

Cons: When we checked in, the receptionist didn’t take the deposit, so whenever we ate or ordered we were asked about the payment. Staff were following us to the room to get the payment and refused to settle it while check out. This was an inconvenience mainly because myself and my husband were eating at the buffet while my mom was in the room with my baby ordering room service. I had to leave in the middle of my dinner at the restaurant to talk. They then decided to come back later but the machine didnt work and it was extremely awkward and inconvenient affair. The spray in the bathroom was broken. At the buffet, we saw the spread and then decided to come back 20 mins later. When we came back, some of the food was already finished and missing from the buffet spread. It was not refilled. There are no amenities in the room. No tea/coffee or even bottled water in the room. The cherry on the cake, we asked for a kettle to warm the water for our 5months baby, we got it late in the night, rinsed it with water and used it at midnight. In the morning we found out that it was dirty and the dirt came out after warming water and it was floating. We fed our baby the dirt all night. It’s disappointing to have such bad experience in a big chain hotel. The cleanliness and hygiene was shocking and highly questionable.

Pros: The hotel is beautifully located very close to city center and to the ocean/beach. Very good breakfast.

Cons: Service is scandalous! Let me present it clearly in points: 1.we arravided to the room that wasn t properly cleaned 2.there was no water/coffe/neither roomservice menu nor info about hotel anything..in the room 3.water was provided only when you asked the housekeeping few times a day..so they finally bring it 4.we had a visit of an itruder with a card early morning when everyone was sleeping who opened door using own card to the room and came in when everyone was sleepeng. He scarred and woke up my little son, after that run away. Hotel explained it as”soory for mistake” whaaat?!?!its good we woke up a d nothing was stolen! 5.the final payment calculation was different from the one on booking. The front desk worker gave us a calculation 60€ higher-different then it was on booking com bill. No SORRY no nothing just 1hour spent on asking for explanation of the situation..if I dodnt check it and wait one hour provi g my rights we would loose this money. 6.we were charged for coffe tablets in the room thats extraordinary for 5* hotel. 7.no swimmingpool is heated 8.the roomservice takes minimum 1h in case of simple tea order 9.food at in the pool/bar section is very poor. Cold hamburger, dry sandwitches, not worth it-there are much better options with better wine list in the city, 10.comparing to sofitel hotel worldwide, nice architecrure cool golf fields, facilities/staff beliw any standards

Pros: rooms were just excellent beautyful view! just fantastic. Kids club facility

Pros: Beautiful view, nice gardens and pool.

Cons: Rooms were cleaned very late in the day which could be inconvenient Mx A struggle to get what you ask for at the reception desk but otherwise nice staff.

Pros: Everything was just perfect.. The location, the food, the staff, the facilities and the atmosphere.

Cons: The shower has no door. The water was everywhere.

Pros: Outstanding place to stay - beautiful house, grounds, food, yoga room, hammam, farm. Wonderful hosts. One of the best places I have ever stayed and would recommend this if you want to stay a short distance (5 minutes) from Essaouira.

Cons: Nothing could be improved.

Pros: Really well kept. Very friendly staff. Dinners were all really good. Don’t follow google maps to get there, but the signs from the Domaine!

Pros: Lovely rooms and facilities. Beautiful gardens.

Pros: The pool is stunning and the staff are all very kind. Love Argan the donkey too

Pros: Brilliant stay and would go back with the family again. Welcoming staff, great food, fantastic room. An oasis in Essaouira. So pleased we chose this hotel. Great space for kids to run around and meet other kids and play safely.

Cons: There was no air con in room but the nights are breezy. I'm sure if we had said something they would have out a fan in.

Pros: Relaxed. Lovely staff. Heated pool. Good food.

Pros: The property itself had many positive appeal in all aspects.

Cons: The misunderstanding in payment led to an undeserved comment by the property management. The property management needs to be less judgmental and keep personal opinions to themselves.

Pros: We stayed in a family terrace. Beautiful house with nice living area and outdoor terrace. Done very nicely. The property is really relaxing like a little oasis. Love the place.

Cons: A little far out from essaouira particularly since need to drive down a dirt road for 8min. But as long as you plan for a little bit of extra transport time it’s well worth staying here.

Pros: The accomodation from the outside & restaurant/ pool area were beautiful. Our accomodation had a fridge & kitchen facilities. The shower area was lovely. The sitting area on patio was nice as lots of lovely flowers/ shrubs to enjoy. We spent a lot of time around the pool and met some very interesting families. As english speakers, it was a great opportunity to try our French. The donkey & cart carrying our luggage was a nice touch. The car park was in a safe & secure area. Breakfast was basic but nice. The kitchen staff were all very pleasant & attentive in terms of my husband's dairy allery. The drive to Essaouira beach was approx 20 mins. The Medina was one of the best. Lots of nice cafes & restaurants.

Cons: The last 2km drive to the location is rubbly & very bumpy.The rooms inside were very basic. The sofa in the sitting area was metallic & not very comfortable. One Bedroom had very limited storage apart from a metal shelf & hooks. The bedrooms were not dusted well & there were cobwebs in sight which we cleared away. The mattreses were hard. On our first night we found ants in one of the bedrooms but we noticed the next day that housekeeping had sprayed the rooms. We had 2 evening meals in the restaurant which were really disappointing. The chicken tagine with lemon & potaoes on our first night was swamped in oil and pretty tasteless. The potatoes turned into mash. The second night we had 2 dishes - lamb & veg cous cous. It was so bad we hardly ate anything. Everything was just watery & mushy. The third night we ate out in Essaouira & the meal we got was cheaper & tastier.

Pros: Quite, clear and massive swimming pool.

Cons: It’s a little tired and needs some work . Food ! They need to re look at the lunch + supper menu, it wouldn’t take much to bring this to twentieth century !

Pros: Chilled and relaxed location, perfect place to calm down, nice staff, 3 min to the beach, a lot of surf shops and schools nearby. Thanks for a great time :-)

Pros: Good location near the beach with good price/quality ratio and nicely decorated rooms.

Pros: Very cute hotel. Lot of good vibes for sure. We would have loved to stay a few more nights than possible.

Cons: We visited during the winter. Our room was quite cold during the night, as there was no heating and no additional blankets. Also the wifi wasn't working.

Pros: nice hotel and nice rooms and friendly staff, good breakfast. Perfect location

Cons: The clarity regarding the price and some declarations regarding the price and the room changes were not clear. Better to sort them out in advance. During winter months the rooms are very cold and the staff asks an absurd price for a heaters. Shortages of warm water and wifi connection can happen.

Pros: Very good service and friendly people. We got also some extra features in request. Very good accommodation and central to reach everything.

Pros: We loved the location, the peacefullnes of the location, the private garden of the apartment.

Pros: Very nice and clean. The location is great, close to the ocean and walking distance to a few restaurants. We rented a few surfboards and walked to the spot. The breakfast is good.

Cons: The rooms are a bit cold (January)

Pros: Wonderfully, beautiful place, very clean rooms and a friendly staff...:)

Cons: Breakfast should be ready at eight, but no one was there. We were in hurry and left in half an hour without it...

Pros: Hotel is located close to the beach, in the quiet residential area. The staff is very nice and breakfasts are good, served in the hotel's cafe. A really good choice if you want to escape the hassle of Medina. At nights you can hear the seagulls :)

Cons: The hotel would need some refreshment, the rooms are in the "80's style" and are not very spacious, for your information. But these are the minor issues. The great staff makes for it!

Pros: the property; the staff

Pros: Breakfast is included but you should know, every extra coffee comes on the bill when checking out (only 8DH). Very friendly stuff, clean room and just a walk away from the beach (surf beach!)

Cons: Everythings fine..

Pros: Nice, quiet hotel. Good location, 5min walk to beach, 25min walk to Medina, 10min walk to Carrefour where they sell cheap beer or wine

Pros: Cheap and very clean. Perfect location. I reinstate it the hotel is very clean, spotless.

Cons: The bathroom was way too small. My knees were literally on the wall. Some street noise as one could expect

Pros: Location is really good. 5 minutes walk to the beach. The only downside is a lot of noise from the traffic as the hotel is placed my the main road of the city. Breakfast was fine. Nothing mind blowing, but you get what you pay for and enough for a solo traveler to make it to the lunch time (bread, pastry, marmalade, processed cheese, hard boiled egg, orange juice and a choice of tea or coffe). Very, VERY helpful staff.

Cons: Heavy traffic till late night hours. Something people should be aware off, especially soft sleepers.

Pros: The panini and the chips were nice and the pool attendant was helpful and friendly.

Cons: The room was dirty, the reception staff were not friendly, the bed sheets had holes in them and the shower was broken.

Pros: it is an pure muslim hotel, with strong muslim rooms. i had to rent another room for my husband!!! the hotel is very dirty, we had only warm water in one room, staff is ofensif to non muslims. I am muslim but cannot accept this treatment in an "international" hotel. we cancelled after one night_

Cons: as mentionned above, you have to declare that it is a pure muslim hotel, with strongest religious rules and food agapted only for muslims. no alcohol, no married people acepted without the legal papers( who carries them thesedays with in the holidays???) vey ,very bad experience, very unclean, many things broken, no warm water

Pros: the riad is a nice place to stay, rooms are comfortable and perfect size for a few days- its necessary that you have a car since it is quite far from the medina (or at least go by petit taxi)

Cons: you need a car to reach the hotel from the medina- the area from the medina to the hotel is probably not the best during the night

Pros: a better than average breakfast, friendly and helpfull staff and closeness to the beach

Cons: each time we want to go to the center, we need to take a taxi, the neighbourhood had no restaurants or shops to get supplies

Pros: It was a nice place for people on a budget/backpackers; cheap and friendly.

Cons: It was quite a walk from the hotel to the medina, no a/c or fan, breakfast cost extra (but not too much).

Pros: Essentially, the price! It's a bit out the way and nothing special in terms of amenities, but it was very good value.

Cons: Most of the rooms don't seem to have an exterior window. Also no air conditioning, but that should not, perhaps, be expected for the price. TV provided but only two channels, both in Arabic.

Pros: The rooms were clean and comfortable but most impressive was how welcoming and helpful the staff are; even if you don't speak the same language.
