Where do I even begin!! This place was SPECTACULAR. Right on the beach. The whole entire apartment is so colorfully decorated, as if you’re staying with a local. You just walk out and you are in the main square. The view of the ocean when you wake up is magnificent.

Our stay at Madada Mogador in Essaouira was nothing short of magical. This charming boutique hotel perfectly captures the spirit of the city, offering a unique blend of coastal serenity, refined elegance, and heartfelt hospitality. Traveling with two young children, we were impressed by how effortlessly the team ensured our stay was both comfortable and memorable. A Warm Welcome for Families: From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The staff at Madada Mogador went above and beyond to make us feel at home, paying special attention to my children with thoughtful gestures like coloring books and local treats. Their friendliness and attentiveness made all of us feel instantly at ease. Elegant Accommodations with a Family Touch: Our room was an oasis of comfort, blending minimalist elegance with Moroccan charm. It was spacious enough for our family, with a cozy seating area where the kids could relax after a day of exploration. The highlight was the private terrace overlooking the ocean—a breathtaking view that we enjoyed together as a family every evening. A Culinary Delight: Breakfast at Madada Mogador was a feast for the senses, served on a stunning rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the sea and medina. The fresh pastries, local jams, and perfectly brewed coffee were a treat for us, while the staff thoughtfully prepared child-friendly options for my little ones. Dining here felt like a cherished family ritual. Perfectly Located for Exploration: The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right at the edge of the medina and steps away from Essaouira’s iconic beach. This made it easy to explore the vibrant streets, markets, and cultural landmarks while being close enough to return for a midday rest. The staff also recommended family-friendly activities, such as camel rides on the beach and visits to local artisan workshops, which delighted my children.

Everything! Sofitel has not one flaw. Yousra and Ines especially made our stay the most comfortable it possibly could be. They have been so helpful and really made Sofitel shine as much as it already does. Everything from the atmosphere, the ambience the design and the staff is 5 star quality. Me and my sister have fallen in love and will definitely be back it truly is the best place in Essaouira. Thankyou so much to all the staff, and personal thanks to Yousra and Ines. We will be seeing you again at sofitel! 🙏🙏❤️

Everything! The room, number 31, was a fantastic loft (bed over the bathroom), simplistically designed, and elegant. The staff was smiley, welcoming, and helpful. The courtyard is gorgeous, and judging by the busy evenings, the restaurant serves good food. The location was a short walk to the harbor, but on a more calm but centralized street. The price was fantastic for what we got. I could live there.

Didier and Bernadette were very friendly and attentive hosts. The garden and pool areas are very tranquil and the hammam is lovely. The villa has interesting and very tasteful Africa-themed decor. Villa Daba is an oasis of peace and tranquility and we left feeling rested and restored.

I loved the ocean front view and the beautiful design of the room with the colored tiles, the layout, and the beautiful windows. The staff at the Dar Ayour were very nice and made us feel welcome. The fried egg, coffee, and freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast were so delicious.

We stayed 2 nights at this lovely and well-designed RIAD. Located in the heart of the Médina and very close to the beach. Very clean and spacious rooms (and bathrooms) and superb breakfast & staff. Youssef, the manager, was a great assistance in everything we asked for as arranging laundry, transportation & recommending dinner spots.
