The best position in Essaouira as it is on a wide pedestrian avenue but already inside the Medina, therefore in the town centre but with a lot of space outside. All the hotel has a typical moroccan style with a lot of wonderful plants. The roof has an amazing view and it is possible to eat from 12:00. The breakfast room is in a comfortable area with a view on a wide pedestrian avenue inside the Medina. The staff was so kind, sweet, discreet, smiling and always helpful. After four nights we were sad to leave this place which we will always keep in our heart and soul. There is also a historical background because Orson Welles stayed in this hotel when he shot the film Otello, hence the name 'Palazzo'.

If you are looking for a tranquil place facing the ocean with a warm atmosphere do not lose time reading reviews. Reasons why to be in Auberge de la Plage: 1) best owners ever: a familiar warm atmosphere with an eye for details ( good music, fantastic common spaces…all very appreciated) 2) ocean sound from the room and best starred sky in town 3 ) very appreciated off the beaten track suggestions from the owners 4) perfect position 5) silence We booked 5 days here than we added immediately a couple more because it turned to be a magnificent place.

Everything! From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Salima. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean and all have a magnificent sea view either from the balcony or the rooftop. Food at the restaurant was great - the menu is changing every day with fresh produce and good variety (kudos to the kitchen team led by chef Nizar and the service team led by Redouane). Big thanks also to Soukaina for the hike recommendations - breathtaking views from the viewpoint and lovely trail. Great hospitality in an amazing secluded location. Will definitely come back!

The manager, Rashidah, was incredibly friendly, and she made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I really appreciated how Rashidah went out of her way to make sure my stay was enjoyable.The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through Morocco, Soraya —it's a great place to stay!

Staff were amazing and the overall environment was wonderful. Like an oasis of calm and nature. We were 8 friends who have travelled a lot together so having a 5 bed property with private pool was great. We did full board which was very good and incredible value. Great calm after some days in Marrakesh and Essaouira.

Essaouira is unique: its traditional buildings offer the visitor coffee shops, restaurants with moroccan cuisine, tiny shops for spices, jewellery, wood carvings, ethnic clothing, leather goods and carpets yet remains a fully working town for its locals. It is no high-end "cote d'azur", but that is why it is so special. The port area is amazing - so many small boats and trawlers bringing in their catch daily, to be sold on the quayside, with all the sights (and smells) that one imagines of a working fishing port. We saw massive tunas, sharks, eels, crabs and lobsters, shrimps (some enormous), all arranged for local restaurants, residents and even brave tourists to buy. The Medina is a maze of tiny alleys and tunnels, with traders, artisans and artists of all descriptions beavering away at all hours. We also found it easy to talk to the Essaouirians, many of whom will go out of their way to welcome you and exchange life stories. All in all, a feast for the senses.

A hidden little gem!! The local people and the magical vibe of this place will stay in our hearts for along time! I accidentally booked our family to stay here instead of Essoauria and did not regret it for one minute. We loved it here and with our car we were able to drive to Essoauria easily.

There's some local shops about 7 mins from the hotel, but you would need a taxi/ car to visit. Quite basic shops/coffee places for a more authentic village experience, but the main attraction is Essaouira which is a further 10 mins by car.

Essauouira came the closest to what my romantic notion, minds-eye of what a Moroccan medina would be like. The medina is large enough to become thoroughly lost and found in; the Atlantic Ocean is majestic and can be gazed upon from so many beautiful sights along the medina; magnificent sunsets; delicious but highly affordable restaurants. A dreamy place to gather your thoughts and center yourself after visiting Marrakech and the Sahara!

We liked the serene atmosphere of the Hotel des Iles and its large swimming pool. The location is excellent, it is just across the road from the beach and the medina is just a short distance away, you can easily walk there in a few minutes. As the are no lifts in the hotel, it is probably a good idea to get either a ground floor room or a pool bungalow because the breakfast bar is on the first and the buffet on the second floors. If you are not eating at the hotel there are lots of reastaurants in the medina and a couple quite close to the hotel.
