Pictures of rooms are a little deceiving of room sizes, but the rooms are okay but a bit overpriced for what you get and its a "five star" the breakfast is never fully stocked ever, no plates, utensils or food options, the pool is small and very crowded and services are limited, definitely over priced for what you get and definitely doesn't feel like a five star so overall it was an average place, nothing special.

A great hotel allowing to enjoy swimming pool sheltered from the wind, private beach club and small spa, all within 5 min of the Medina ! Room was large with a nice balcony. Breakfast had good option range and was ok but not great. The facilities would benefit from more maintenance but overall package was still worth the price.

Great location to beach and medina
Excellent hotel. Great location, clean, modern with good lighting in the room and bathroom. Our ocean view with small balcony was very nice. Walking distance to restaurants, attractions and the wide boardwalk and beach. Highly recommend. Note: the website pictures do not do this hotel justice! Pleasant surprise!

Incredible Hotel
This was probably the best hotel experience of our lives as a family. Incredible hotel, great design, amazing (and large) pool (open round the clock), the best possible location in Essaouira, a short walk into the heart of the old town, and on the beach. But the best thing of all - is the staff - going out their way to personalise your experience and excel in customer service. Very very good. Great holiday.

Great hotel with amazing staff (everyone is friendly and willing to help). The 5 min walk to the old town makes it a great location for quick dive into the world of tasty Moroccan food. The provocateur beach front and the pool provide plenty of opportunities to swim and chill.

The location is wonderful- a few minutes walk to the port and Medina. They have their own private section of the beach, with table and beverage service. Could be slow at times but the food was good. The rooms are large but a bit dated. We had ants and gnats in the room. Would also have appreciated larger bottles of the complimentary water in the room. Pool area is really nice. They also have a fitness center. Staff were pleasant. I few tweaks to the overall property upkeep would take this to the next level.

A down at heel hotel in need of considerable refurbishment which is certainly not 5 star standard. On arrival at 3.30 pm we were told our room wasn't ready; when challenged we were told we could go to our room but it was not ready. There were housekeeping staff in there who left when we arrived. In their haste to leave there were no handtowels, the sink waste didnt work and there was an empty bottle and used towel from previous guests. The fruit and pastries were on chippped plates. Terrible service at breakfast, no information, we were not offered drinks, the food was limited and often plates needed replenishing. We found out be accident that omelettes, eggs etc were being cooked to order outside.

Very blah hotel that is tired and run down. Good Location across from the beach. That’s pretty much the only thing it had going for it in my opinion. We ordered a sandwich for Lunch and watched the waitress walk across the street and get the sandwiches from the beach cafe nearby. We were ignored at breakfast. Room felt like something from an old casino with bad tile Floors . Would not recommend it.
