Personalized trips to Morocco
for independent travelers

This was such a let down as the last hotel of our trip. I almost thought of checking out and going somewhere else. The place is plain dirty. Hair and crumbs everywhere. Stains on the carpets. I don't know when someone last wiped down the surfaces because there were spills and gooey marks on everything. The breakfast room wasn't clean either. Total disaster. The staff was nice enough but the hotel itself can not be recommended at all.

Charming Riad, beautifully designed. Staff was super friendly and enthusiastic, trying to make us comfortable. The room felt like the honeymoon suite with large bathtub and rose petals everywhere. The dinner was very good - you have to order an hour before you would like to eat which is the case in many riads. We had a drink by the fireplace before dinner and the young man serving us was rearranging the furniture to make us more comfortable.

Actually we were upgraded to the Maison Arabe so I can't review Elegancia Riad. The Maison Arabe was wonderful! The room was very spacious as was the enormous bathroom. Great amenities. The breakfast had a lot of great choices.

Nice hotel with very friendly, motivated staff that tries to do things a little differently. We were welcomed with a delicious herbal infusion instead of the traditional mint tea and the dinner was more of a fusion experience then classic Moroccan cuisine which was a nice change.

Glamping in the desert? This is the place to go. The tents are like hotel rooms with comfy bed, small sitting area, and bathroom. They even provide short djellaba which was appreciated in the cool evening. They provide dinner and breakfast in a beautiful dining room with fire place. Staff makes music around the fire pit in the evening. Only thing to improve could be the quality of the meat in the main course.

This hotel was so beautiful! I would have loved to stay here longer. Beautiful pool area, cozy dining area and very pretty rooms. Stars in the ceiling of the shower! Birds chirping in the morning. The included multi course dinner definitely exceeded my expectations!

Nice hotel covered in traditional decorations. The young man seemingly running the place almost by himself was very kind and enthusiastic - always ready to offer us tea.

Stylish hotel in the middle of town. The decor is white and blue which matches the city. There is a beautiful roof terrace with great views of the town and surrounding hills. Food is very good - breakfast and dinner. Loved the milk pastilla!

Lovely hotel with nice decor and roof top swimming pool. The food is very good and the staff very friendly. We asked the waiter at breakfast about one of the traditional breads and he brought the cook from the kitchen to tell us about it!

Essaouira is very small and easy to navigate so you don't really need a guide. Our guide was very nice but the information was rather limited and I felt like I had to ask questions. I wished there would have been more story telling.

Guide was nice and informative. Would have enjoyed more story telling about the city.

It was really nice to have the opportunity to be in someone's home, talk with a local family about their lives, and gain insights into the country one would not get as a mere tourist. The home cooked food was also delicious!

Having a guide at Volubilis is a good idea so the ruins come "alive". Also we probably would have missed some of the beautiful mosaics without the guide pointing them out.

The space is beautiful and the food surprisingly good! The line up consisted of 6 different acts - musicians, belly dancers, and a magician. Little touristy but fun. Staff was very nice.

Guide provided insights in history of town and pointed out things/places we would not have noticed which made the walk more interesting than just looking at the beautiful blue houses.

Beautiful mosque that is definitely a must visit.
