Do not even think about booking this supposed 'Riad'. We booked the King Suite which turned out to be an average-size double room with attached bathroom and no private terrace. No house-keeping. They claim to have both a restaurant and a coffee house. They have neither. The swimming pool was an algae-infested health hazard. Within minutes of arriving, the proprietor Halima Jebbari was on the phone demanding we immediately hand over several hundred Euros in cash. When we suggested they might have mentioned this earlier, we were accused of breaking their 'protocols'. For the next two days, we found ourselves alone on the property during the day with no food or drinking water, no means to make tea or coffee. We were limited to just 60cl of water each per day. They refused to sell us more despite plenty in the locked store cupboard. Breakfast is only 'fabulous' if you like lots of bread and jam and don't want fresh fruit or yoghurt. The single omelette (to be shared) was cooked in the most rank, stale oil. Dinner, reheated by the man who opens and shuts the gate, was a small tajine (to be shared) with minimal starter and no desert. No tea or coffee. Finally, we were 'escorted' to several banks and ATMs to withdraw the demanded cash in local currency. No receipt was offered. We were over-charged 100 Euros. Less than 24 hours later we were reported for doing a runner from the place and not paying our bill. If you read this and then book a suite you need your...
Read moreso I booked two rooms for 2 nights at this hotel, close to Essaouira. Wasnt sure what to expect at first. This place is very pretty. Its a total vacation getaway. Almsot feels like a resort lol. ||||Theres animals, a VERY clean pool. Great staff and Positive energy flowing all over the place. ||||We got to see the chickens and donkeys :P ||||So how it works, while enjoy your stay there, you can order sandwish at 2am, juice, actually just whatever you want, they'll make it possible, and at the end you pay your recept. Dont worry. Its not expensive at all. The food is very good.||||we can also play our music down the 24hour pool surrounded by peacocks.||||The only thing is that we can only pay cash. On booking.com it says that we can pay credit card.. That should just be clearified so we can plan our cash budget in advance. ||||Overall, its just lovely.||||Désolé de ne pas vous avoir laisser un commentaire plus tot. Voila aussi quelques photos que jai prise durant mon séjour chez La maison Essaouira. 10 sur 10!...
Read moreI had the chance to spent a few days at Maison Rayhan, where I felt “like at home” thanks to its owners. I was amazed by this city and specially by the house and it’s services provided. The hammam is super relaxing and the view on the rooftop is all you need to see in the evening time while having a quiet drink. The pool is huge and charming with its dark colours. I stayed in the Mogador suite, the room is a bit too modern for my taste decoration wise, but so comfortable that you couldn’t wish for something else. I also strongly advise you to have diner at Maison Rayhan. You will be thrilled to taste some traditional real specialties cooked with care by their cook !||It was my first time in Morocco and I will definitely stay at Maison Rayhan again next time I visit Essaouira.||Thank you for this relaxing and peaceful time, this was...
