Lock in a great price for Villa Maroc Essaouira – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff made you feel like queen and king of the castle, any request was handled swiftly and with grace. They were extremely warm natured as well. Our room was amazing, we had our own living room and the bathroom was so big it had its own lounger as well. The simplicity of the decor was by no means a detractor, it was so cozy and charming. I wanted to stay and write a novel with the beach views and sounds of gulls for inspiration. The restaurant was one of the best in town and we ended up eating there our last 2 nights.

Constanza, France

The property was beautiful and right in the heart of the medina which meant exploring was really easy. The staff were so helpful and friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. The breakfast on the roof was amazing - with lots of different things to try and great views.

Richard, United Kingdom

Great location and beautiful setting. Amazing decoration with a very homey feel. I loved the breakfast in the terrace and din8ng in a private room at night.

Tefa, United States of America

Rooms, decoration, and breakfast were amazing! The staff was pleasant and helpful and we were overall very happy with both the service and the beautiful environment. We would definitely go back to this hotel if we visit Essaouira again. It was like home away from home

Haritini, United Kingdom

The location is very good and the hotel is very tastefully decorated and furnished. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When it gets very hot it is lovely to be able to go to the hotels garden property, 15 min away using the hotels shuttle bus, and use the pool. I will go again only next time I'll make sure I get a flight to the local airport.

Simon, United Kingdom

The Villa Maroc is located very centrally, inside the Medina walls, easy to get to the beach, the souk, the port. It has a nice seaside feel to the interiors, they are light, bright and airy. The breakfast was lovely, and the room was comfortable. It is good value for money.

Jaspreet, United Kingdom

It's a uniquely beautiful, lovingly run hotel. The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing, it's a very special place.

눉well guess the room could have been better - from experience i know rooms in a riad can be dark, but because i wanted a separate room for kids, the only choice wasnt the best in the place. but the rest of the facilities easily made up for this.
눇amazingly attentive staff. superb breakfast. lovely rooms. great view. really really good riad. will be back.

눉Nothing I didn't like but you need to know that part of the hotels charm is the layout, which is tall and on different levels so there are steep narrow stairs to climb.
눇The location is very good and the hotel is very tastefully decorated and furnished. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When it gets very hot it is lovely to be able to go to the hotels garden property, 15 min away using the hotels shuttle bus, and use the pool.

“The staff need to attend a hospitality course”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Sea View Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The hotel is a little bit tired and in need of a refresh. Our bathroom could have done with a renovation and there was only a small soap, a bottle of shower gel and a bottle of shampoo as toiletries. There was no safe in the room, and no minibar. The reason for the low staff score was the attitude of the staff. Across Morocco we had found the level of attentiveness of staff to be absolutely superb, in hotels, restaurants and shops. Then Moroccan people were delightful. But here, the young woman on reception was cold, dismissive, unhelpful and when we were unable to connect to the wi-fi in our room, made us feel as if we were incompetent old people, and didn't accept that perhaps the room didn't have good connectivity? Similarly when we asked if we could have some tea when we were on the terrace the member of staff there actually made us feel as if we had inconvenienced him.
눇The Villa Maroc is located very centrally, inside the Medina walls, easy to get to the beach, the souk, the port. It has a nice seaside feel to the interiors, they are light, bright and airy. The breakfast was lovely, and the room was comfortable. It is good value for money.

- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Some of the rooms are better than other. You do get what you pay for, so pay more and you will be happier. Call the staff to talk about room choice.
눇The staff are THE BEST. So friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. From the reception to the bar tender to the many who lit our fire each night And the breakfast staff was even more outstanding. And the cook, she is a genius--just eat there every night and even though the menu descriptions are not very descriptive just go for it--the best meals we had our trip, and even ever, were here. The owner was on site and really cares. The shopping nearby was excellent. Go outside the walls to the boutiques and go into the non-tourist medina too. They also have a property inland where you can go to swim and bar-b-que lunch. it looked quite nice although we did not try it. I think you can swim there in winter as it is warmer inland.
