The breakfast is one of the highlights and a reason why we came back to stay at Suite Azur. The fresh OJ and baked items, along with beautiful fruit and honey and cheese and omelets on request are best enjoyed on the roof top deck overseeing the majestic views of the Atlantic. The room was perfect for us and our son, with incredibly comfortable beds, a sitting area to play cards and cross ventilation for great breezes. Yusuf and Farah and the rest of the staff are always eager to help out, will personally walk you places to be sure you don't get lost in the Medina and make wonderful recommendations for activities and restaurants. We love Essaouira and the Suite Azur is a huge factor in our fabulous experience there.

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.
Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.
Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.
Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.
Not as ‘hip’ as I’d expected but still worth visiting for...
Not as ‘hip’ as I’d expected but still worth visiting for the old town and souks. Nice walk along the beach and some good restaurants. Great horse ride along the beach but take care to book a reputable stable.

Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along the promenade. If you explore the alleyways away from the shops you will come across workshops where the local products are being handcrafted.

What a wonderful city!
What a wonderful city! Beaming with actual local craft and art, lots of cute street cats and beautiful colourful houses with intricately decorated doors, windows and fountains. We fell in love with this small city and would love to go back.
Pro Tip if you like cats: buy some vet cat food and walk around the city with it because those creatures will break your heart with their cuteness.
I would recommend spending at least two days there. Get lost in the small streets to the sides from the main shopping areas. Visit the fish market, eat fresh oysters or other sea products. The beach was nice and serves as a great refreshment after long walks in Medina.
Shopping was great and cheap but I would still recommend learning the actual prices first. For example, we got small tiles for 10dhs but in other places we’re getting prices like 50 or 30. Don’t be afraid to walk away and negotiate a bit. Especially if it is not the master themselves selling but a reseller. You can usually find actual masters on the smaller side streets (especially for wood and fabrics). I also noticed that women have fair prices more often.
Food. Amazing street food and fruits! Don’t go to overpriced restaurants on tourist streets, unless they have a “menu” offer which can be worth the price. Otherwise, if you just take a detour from the main hustle, there will be tangine not for 80dhs but for 30. The food is also way cheaper outside of Medina.

Impressive fort!
Impressive fort! The Atlantic brings a fresh brise and a lot of problems for the buildings because humidity. It’s impressive to watch the ocean breaks at the city wall and sunset over the blue fisher boats. The Souk is small but fine and not so over crowded like Marrakech but not easy to get good prices because you don’t have many options like in other souks.But it’s a unique place impressive too!

Good place with a chilled-out vibe.
Good place with a chilled-out vibe. Great for those who are into surfing or wind sports. Also a cool place for those who like to try local food, shop at markets, or just meander through the narrow streets of a historic and vibrant town.
Accommodation is affordable, food is tasty, and the people are friendly. Also lots of activities such as surfing and camel/horse riding.
Easy to reach other towns and cities from the bus station.
The hotel has an excellent location close to the medina wall and away from the noisiest areas but at the same time very easy walkable reach to any point in town. Our room was really beautiful and comfortable. The service was 5 star worthy - very polite, caring and accommodating in every way. They even did our laundry, clean shirts were returned the same day. My husband and I are in love with Essaouira, we'll be back and will stay in Dar Liouba again.
This riad is located close to everything in the Medina and the mosque, so you will hear all the prayers, but it's not a big deal. We could walk to everything. Breakfast was delicious and plenty. The Baghrir was the best we had in our entire trip. About 15mins walk to the beach and to anything else in the area.
Staff doesn't speak much English but we managed via google translate and hand gestures.
The staff was great. Very helpful and professional. The location was close to the beach and the medina. Enjoyed having a balcony. A huge, very satisfying breakfast was included with our stay. We only intended on staying one night but enjoyed our stay so much that we extended it another night. We highly recommend this hotel. Will definitely come back on our next trip back to Morocco.
This is a lovely riad. We had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful.
The restaurant is very good as well. The location close to the beach was very nice. We walked to the medina many times from the hotel. It is a longish walk but lovely along the beach.
This hotel is not 5 star by European standards but it's still very nice. The staff are lovely and the private area on the beach and the pool are lovely. It's in a brilliant location within a very easy, flat walk to the Medina. Our room was big with lots of space and storage, a safe and minibar
Villa Beldi is a luxury retreat, while it isn’t overly authentic it is a beautiful hotel in a really nice setting. Perfect for relaxing with easy access to town via taxi or hire car etc. The main beach is only a short walk away too. The food is excellent, especially breakfast.
The hotel was really clean (also, our room was cleaned every day), the staff very friendly and the breakfast was good as well. Furthermore, we also liked the location (close to the beach and parking lot) and the sea view from our room. We would 100% recommend this place!
The hotel was newly renovated and in great condition. The size of the room was good. We were quite happy to get a room in spite reserving at the last moment. The personnel were trying their best to help us out. Breakfast was huge and very much appreciated.
Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful Moroccan styled hotel, very comfortable and stylish decor. Very close to the beach and windsurfing sites. Room was airy, comfortable, good facilities including water and fridge and aircon great!
Bathroom huge!
The hotel is close to the heart of the medina but also walking distance of the beach. The staff and owner are super nice and helpful! There is a big parking just next to the entrance of the medina and close to the hotel.
Really nice terrace!
The combination between rustic and modern, the art inside of the hotel, the staff, the food which is excellent, best mattresses and pillows ever - literally felt like floating on a cloud. Everything makes you feel like you are home.
Loved our nice clean room with terrace and ocean view. The hotel’s private beach area is on the ocean across the street from the hotel. Service and food were good at the beach cafe. Nice pool area in the hotel’s inner courtyard.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel is run by a family and one of the owner brothers helped us a lot, showed us some local shops around and was super friendly and welcoming. It was one of my best stays in Morocco
Location is nice.. not far from the Medina and the beach;
Personnel are professional and friendly, they gave me the opportunity to parking motorbike inside the hotel
Breakfast is good
Beautiful hotel, huge luxurious room, excellent service.
I wish we could have spent there one more day, to enjoy the amazing terrace with pool and view over the medina.
