    Overall a good place to stay but requested additional child bed not made up on arrival in the evening . Night staff seemed reluctant and did not make the children’s bed properly-bordering on rude. Paint in the bath peeling badly and shower holder falling off the wall.

    Great spa experience. Good food. Helpful staff in piano bar and reception. Good decorations

    The swimming pool was freezing even though it was August. Perhaps solar panels could be used to pump warm water into the pool (it works in other hotels). The gym was hidden away from view, I used it. The bedroom had no drawers to lay clothes out such as T-shirts and underwear.

    The lovely reception staff were helpful and friendly. The beautiful lady cooking omelettes for breakfast was marvellous, so patient with so many guest demands. The room was clean and comfortable. But why no drawers for unpacking clothes? A wardrobe is great, but you need drawers as well.

    The shabby furnitures need utter renewal . The corridors are widely noisy a little soundproofed means could have been better . Breakfast lacks some variety touch

    The neatness of the different areas. The front beach location 👌.

    Menu expensive and a bit limited compared to Medina. Swimming pool very windy, but maybe we were unlucky.

    Big luxury hotel overlooking beach. Lots of rooms but never seemed busy or crowded.

    Big property but felt tired. There was no-one at the spa when I wanted to book in person. Tried booking over the phone and it seemed there was no availability- hard to believe for the hotel which was near empty when I checked. Most restaurant staff looked bored with their jobs and took forever to bring cutlery. This sounds petty but for the amount of money I paid, I didn’t get good enough value. The breakfast was awful. Little variety. We stayed 2 nights. One night should have been enough. Kudos to the cheerful doormen and receptionists!

    Location and nice rooms

    Great hotel across from the beach, 15 min walk from Medina

    No coffee / tea making station which I need in the morning. I asked for a kettle at the front desk but apparently their room service closet/attendee doesn't start until 7am. We were able to get tea from the downstairs restaurant but additionally, they eventually delivered a kettle and mix of tea bags to the room (extra cost for the teas).

    Low season in Essaouira so the hotel was not busy at all. Quite a large hotel with a resort feel, right across from the beach which was nice. After staying in Riads in Marrakech, having a big modern room was quite the upgrade. Room was large, shower and bathtub, and couch and TV. King bed was very comfortable. Oh and they upgraded us upon check-in, which was also super nice. We did not have breakfast included but when I checked in the morning, the spread looked pretty decent. It's about a 15 minute walk from the bus station/entrance into Old Town, and its a nice walk along the water. I'm glad we chose here vs in the old town.

    Towels are worn We did have leaking faucet in bathroom that periodically caused flooding on sink. Raised concern and maintenance looked at it but couldn’t see obviously where it came from. So we just dealt with wiping counter as needed

    Location was good. Facility was clean. Breakfast buffet was okay but not great. Housekeeping did their job but did not go beyond. Spa is amazing and great service. In our 4 days there the lobby store was never opened. Bed was comfortable

    The pool is not heated so expect a shock. The private beach area was not cleaned which was a shame.

    Some of the breakfast items are stale, could use refreshing a bit more often.

    Close to the Medina but removed enough to stay relaxed. The facilities are a bit dated but the staff is absolutely lovely.
