Hotellit lähellä Essaouira

Plussat: Very nice and helpfull hosts and staff, beautiful house, free internet

Miinukset: only cold water most of the time

Plussat: Lovely place to stay near Essaouira. A beautiful house in beautiful surroundings. Relaxing atmosphere, great service and friendly people. Bernadette and Didier take good care of their guests! Also recommended with children, our one year old son loved it as much as we did.

Miinukset: The road to the villa is quite rough, and you do need your own car to be able to visit Essaouira and the beach.

Plussat: the warm welcome and hospitality, very quiet surroundings and nice accommodation

Plussat: Owners helpful. Peaceful. Excellent staff

Miinukset: Too far from anything. Taxi to beach. No proper bar or restaurant. No prices for services or food. Can only pay in cash. No air con so room way too hot.

Plussat: The warm and friendly welcome, the attractive decor, the relaxed ambience, and the dinners on the evenings when we ate in.

Plussat: I liked mainly the hotel staff and the very nice and clean rooms.

Miinukset: For me it's a bit far from the town.

Plussat: The unique rural setting. The staff were also extremely proessional. The rooms were spacious with traditional decor.

Plussat: The resort is pretty, the pool area is very nice. Breakfast is good and served by the pool. The waiter Yousef was really lovely and very helpful, going out of his way for us which we really appriciated. They have lots of tortoises in the garden. They have two dogs who are also very friendly.

Miinukset: The resort is very hard to find, local taxi drivers don't know it, and it's very poorly signposted. It's set down 2miles of rocky, farm tracks that most petit taxis refuse to drive down. The owners know it's difficult to get taxis to go there, they have set up a taxi service of 4wheel drive cars that don't mind driving to the hotel, but you have to pay alot for them, 100 dirhams each way to Essaouira. Local taxis, if you don't mind walking 30min to main road cost us max 50 dirhams a day. The room we had was tired and had lots of ants in it, with clean but stained towels. We weren't allowed to use the living areas in our 'Riad' even though we were the only people staying in it the whole of our trime there. The pool had big patches of algae.

Plussat: Very helpful management and staff. They arranged day trips and restaurants for us and showed us the best beaches. The site is beautiful and the riads very well designed.

Miinukset: Hotel a little difficult to find due to insufficient signing. Follow the directions carefully.

Plussat: Fantastic accomomodation, beautiful setting, peaceful, friendly staff, nice pool. Good for families or couples. Recommended

Miinukset: Quite far from town. About 10euro taxi ride away from town. On arrival we had difficulties finding a taxi that knew where the hotel was. Howeve once you arrive the hotel will arrange taxis for you

Plussat: The Riads are great, the silence at night, the place is very friendly and safe. The hotel is great for children. I liked very much every employes, the persons are received like a family(they helped me resolving some problems with a flat tire, (Jean Philipe, again, thanks). I have made a friend for life, with Aziz Youssef(employe of the restaurant). Everybody is very friendly, make as feel at home. When i went away the entire family was sad:(

Miinukset: The way to the riad from km8, "2km" in a road that is not for every kind of car. But it is not so bad and it´s no reason for us not to come back one day.

Plussat: Fabolous swimming pool and rooms. Recommended.

Plussat: Sidi Kaouki is a very nice place and in principal the penthouse in the Hotel is a nice apartment, however, it is small and much too expensive.

Miinukset: Considering the price and the designation penthouse, one expects much more than was offered: The rooms are very small and cannot be recommended for two pairs of adults. A young family may find it suitable. The bathroom, however, mediates the feeling of camping. In case of rain, water flows into the living room, from the ground and also through the roof! The proprietors from Belgium take too much money for this small penthouse, which has to be refurbished generally. For the same amount of money we had a nice, clean and newly refurbished apartment with kitchen in Switzerland (!) right by the waterside of the beautiful Lago Maggiore!

Plussat: The hotel is wonderful, the service excellent and the location can not be better. Said, the person in charge, made us feel like at home. There is no better place to stay in Sidi Kaouki. We will be back for sure and we will reccomend it to all our friends. Thank you!

Plussat: Delicious breakfast that they brought up to the penthouse's open roof terrace.

Miinukset: too expensive for what you get, 20 km south of Essaouira even though they say that they are in Essaouira and are included in the hotel search for Essaouira, include none of the facilities you would expect for a hotel at that price (not beach front, no pool, no paved driveway). We drove on a very holey gravel road to get back to the hotel, past piles of things, donkeys, camels, etc. Dogs barked all night. It states in their ad that it is on the beach, but actually you must what down the gravel road, through a path, past more donkeys and camels and piles of things, and then across the street and along another path to get to the beach area.

Plussat: I loved that it offered us the opportunity to drive into the bigger nearby cities to experience the hustle and bustle of Morrocan markets etc but we could return to the calm and tranquility of our very clean, very fresh accommodations and be lulled to our slumber by the sound of the waves and wind. It was an excellent choice!

Plussat: Staff friendliness, prompt attention to requests, cleanliness, good food. Most of all the helpfulness and friendliness of all the staff made us feel very welcome in a foreign country.

Miinukset: Nothing at all. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Reasonably quiet location, lovely pool/garden area for relaxing. Staff helpful and room clean.

Miinukset: Shower curtain would stop shower water going everywhere. Rates should include taxes so no add-ons.

Plussat: THe hotel is nice and have a nice pool... it's important because essaoira beaches are very windy....

Plussat: Very nice pool area

Plussat: Nice, spacious and very clean rooms. There is also quite nice swimming pool.

Miinukset: Location is terrible, far away from Essaouira center and it is not great when you return to hotel late in the night on foot. WiFi is available only in hotel lobby, not in rooms (however there is cable internet for a price). Breakfast not included in room price, and it is quite expensive.

Plussat: Facilites are fairly new, breakfast is good value for money. Ideal facilities for the price

Miinukset: Perfect - is a bit of a walk to the main town but a taxi is only 1 euro so all good..

Plussat: Clean, bright. Very new. Lovely pool. Short walk beach. 20 mins along beach to medina.

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: Peaceful surroundings, nice pool, and costs less than 1 euro to get a taxi back from the medina area.

Miinukset: The hotel restaurant had very poor food and service, and was very expensive.

Plussat: Excellent value for money and good facilities. Lovely pool.

Miinukset: $review.cons

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

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

Plussat: 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_

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: -stuff was greta and polite and friendly, lovely breakfast, beuatiful building deco and swimming pool

Miinukset: not at all!

Plussat: Service was good, hotel styled nicely

Plussat: great food and nice staff; as noted, there was no AC -- or even a small fan, which would have helped a lot because the temperature in the room was stifling hot even at night when the temperature outside was cool.

Miinukset: no AC; mosquitos!!!

Plussat: The food was good and the waiter was excellent.

Miinukset: Price was very high for what it was. It was to far from town. It wasn't very clean and needed updating badly.

Plussat: freindly stuff and nice place

Plussat: the ambiance, authentic rooms

Miinukset: $review.cons

Plussat: 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)

Miinukset: 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

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

Miinukset: 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

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

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

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

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.
