Amazing - stay here
The family who run this riad are so lovely, helpful, nothing was to much trouble, they gave us advise/ recommendations, drew us maps. We wish we had time to stay longer. Our room was gorgeous and well decorated with comfortable beds. It is a 1 minute walk around the building onto the beach and far enough from the medina to enjoy a 20 minute stroll on the sand which means its peaceful at night. The restaurants served lovely food and it was all very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again.

el Riad es muy bonito y acogedor. Lo mejor es su restaurant, en la planta alta del edificio. Aspectos como las viejas pantallas de Tv estropea un poco este fanatstico Riad, muy bien llevado por la familia con Miquel al frente. Una experiencia muy agradable.

Clean, friendly hotel with some excellent food.
Excellent, friendly staff that made staying there a pleasure. The have 2 restaurants with delicious food and a clean pool. It's a little walk up to the medina (say 15 to 20 mins) but that it straight up the beach and so was beautiful in itself. It's right beside the beach so if it's not too windy then that's great to hang out on too.

The proprietors and staff were all delightful, happy to help and always efficient. Facilities were good. Cleanliness an obvious priority. My only complaint - pillows a bit lumpy.

Best Riad in Morocco!
I spent two nights at this Riad with my Burkinabe. The staff is benevolent; as Imane, Fatima and Imad are truly caring and beneficial. Their incredible level of service is unparalleled. We will definitely be returning.

Great hotel, unless you need air conditioning
Good location. Staff was generally very good and helpful. Pool was good and breakfast plentiful and also very good. Unfortunately they do not have air conditioning which really is desirable in this climate. I recommend this hotel very much, unless you want air conditioning.

Friendly family run Riad
The French family that run this riad could not be more helpful. Well positioned near the beach and an easy flat walk to the medina. Food was varied and good value. We think the hot water was desalinated, as it tasted very salty, and left our skin feeling a little sticky. Unfortunately a new building on one side of the beautifully kept pool meant it lost the sun at about 2pm when we were there late Oct/ early Nov. However we would have no hesitation in recommending Riad Zahra in Essaouira.

Como en casa en Essaouira
Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa por el trato de Javier y su mujer e hijo, la exquisita cocina (Marroquí con toque internacional). Muy cerca de la playa y cerca de la Medina. Se puede ír andando. Todo son facilidades en el Riad, trato familiar y los consejos de Javier son muy útiles.
