this riad is very well situated, once we actually found it. We stayed right up at the top and had a really nice room, which was done in a quite rustic style. staff were lovely and helpful, the stairs up to the top floor were hard work. Essaouira was lovely, a nice break from marrakech. And very straightforward to get... more

Wonderful riad in an excellent location. It was superbly and stylishly furnished, extremely spacious, with a great rooftop terrace. Great service and excellent value for money. Also very quiet which was appreciated. I would definitely recommend both this riad and a stay in Essaouira. more

We chose Riad De La Mer on the strength of the reviews on Trip Advisor and found it to be everything we could have hoped for. The location was superb, we loved the decor and really appreciated having the whole floor and use of the kitchen, (not that we ate in as there was such choice in resturants), but it... more

I did not... more

Spent 4 days and three nights in Essaouira at the Riad de la Mer and it couldn't have been better. Decided on this one on the back of its excellent TripAdvisor rating and even then we were pleasantly surprised. To start with, the owner sent out plenty of directions and a good solid map of the town with some restaurant/bar... more

could not have asked for a better place to stay. I highly reccomend the studio. The people there take wonderful care of you and it is very clean and you will feel like your in heaven. I want to go back now! more

First of all the riad is just really attractive and comfortable. Second, the guy who looks after the place and his wife, who cooks breakfast, are extremely helpful and friendly. Third, there's this terrific bathtub in the first floor apartment that you never want to get out of. Fourth, the rooftop terrace is a great place to hang out -... more
