This Riad was right next to the sea. The views were fabulous from the sun deck. There was also a great indoor sun lounge if too chilly outside. Both were next to the restaurant which also had excellent views and the food was also good. The room was comfortable, clean and had windows which was a welcome bonus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Essaouira was much more pleasant and cleaner than Marrakech. The woodworking area definitely worth a visit. It has a great beach although the sea was rather cold! Good selection of restaurants.

We arrived and we were given a room that was different from the one we paid for. The room we were offered was half of the price of what we paid. The property staff including the manager told us that that is what they received from the agency that represent Expedia and they showed us the document they received from Travel Councilling group. The problem we had is the property did not offer any help to solve the issue, they asked me to go call Expedia to figured it out. That was a poor service to client. I spent one hour with Expedia Agent over the phone and at the end I accepted to pay extra money to get the room I wanted. This was a poor experience . Expedia must revise its agreement with its intermediary in Morocco as even Expedia staff could not reach neither the agency nor the property management.

The views from inside the room were spectacular. The beach and ocean waves are right under your window. However, in order to walk/swim in it, you have to walk 30 minutes around the town to get to it. The beach has some trash floating around it. The TV channels are great when you need a break from all the vendors of the medenia. Breakfast was great but i believe the hard boiled egg made me sick... thats how i know the TV selection was great. Room service was fast but the spaghetti bolenese is not the chefs strong suit. Overall, i would stay here again. I would bring a dive mask and stay away from the eggs.

Searching for an amazingly beautiful and reasonable hotel or Road in Essaouira? Get a room with an OCEAN VIEW at Riad Mimouna and STOP your search. You, and your partner or family will be UNBELIEVABLY happy with the magical option you chose. I will stay at Riad Mimouna EVERY time I visit Essaouira, and will even skip the craziness of Marrakech to spend more days there. Feel free to ask any questions.

Front desk staff were superb and couldn’t help enough - friendly, helpful by booking Taxi’s and v attentive. They were excellent. Room service was also good. The staff serving in the restaurant / rooftop bar were slow, inattentive and on one occasion we were waiting 30 minutes for a round of drinks, and had to chase them twice. This was regular over 3 nights.

Great Views / Mediocre Rooms
The best thing about this riad is the location. It has amazing views of the ocean and is right on the water. Definitely pay the extra few dollars for a seaside room. While the staff was nice we didn’t find them to be overly welcoming as we had become accustomed to during our other riad stays. The dining room for breakfast was wonderful and had sweeping views of the ocean. The only major inconvenience was there was no hot water during our stay.

The best part was the view. The room smelled very musty/moldy. It was quite cold, and felt like sleeping in an ancient stone castle/dungeon. The electrical plugs were not available to charge phones unless the lighting was unplugged. The rooms need rugs or things of that nature to warm it up and make it cozy. The bathroom walls and window needed painting and repair. The room had a layer of dust including the remote for the tv that didn’t work. The water barely got warm. The breakfast was rather cheap and certainly not buffet style as many places in Morocco that we have visited are. The lobby was nice as were the staff who did all they could to resolve some of these concerns. I wouldn’t ever stay here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

When booking the hotel I chose to pay a bit extra for a room with a sea view and it was definitely worth it! The staff were lovely, and eating breakfast on the roof overlooking the waves crashing into the rocks was beautiful. We also found it funny that there is no breakfast menu, they just bring you everything: pastries, yogurts, cakes, pancakes, bread, eggs (boiled, not dippy like you'd expect in an egg cup ;)), which was fun!

Not in any way a 4 star hotel and had a very strange feeling to it -On arrival they did not have our reservation and claimed Expedia did not send it to them (even though I had the confirmation on my phone) -The room was dark and run down and dusty (there were cobwebs in one corner of the room), there were two random drinking glasses in separate parts of the room and nothing else in terms of amenities and no information in the room on Essouria, it felt almost like a storage room for furniture. -Musty smelling and quite creepy feeling (if you are into movies like Suspiria this aspect may be a bonus) -Mediocre breakfast -The hotel would provide a kettle or hot water in the evening and had no bottled water in the room/charged us for bottled water. +Cool view of the ocean if you get a sea view room +Bedding was clean
