Charming property with a good pool. Rooms were spacious and we had a good view. The surrounding area is essentially desert and the free shuttle or a car are essential.

Resort style property with different types of lodging in really good looking villas and buildings. We scored a three bedroom villa with our own pool. Kitchen!! Separate bathrooms! A hamam, spa, pools, buffet style restaurant with options. Beautiful peacock families roam freely, A few things to be aware of: Furniture is quite worn. Things that were broken in our room: no cold water out of main bedroom shower so it was scalding (simply used another shower); air conditioner broken in another bedroom; Many massive ants were coming to and fro from doors that were actually funny like dozens, we roller a towel at a failed attempt to try keep them out. Big Daddy Cockroach came out of the drain after my hamam in the spa, another cockroach in our villa escorted us to the front door. These are the big cockroaches that scare the living daylights out of you., So it's well priced and has obvious good intentions. Huge potential for something special here! But If you are the kind of traveler that gets bugged be mindful. Obvious pun well intended..

Essouria lodge is a beautiful location with extremely well tended grounds and nice medium range villas. The restaurant is good and breakfast ok. Lovely pool. Some of the staff are a little dour and we had issues with the WiFi and water but these were dealt with. Within a few hours. The main problem was the noise from the apartment above ours which was deafening and went on until 1 or 2 am every night. The other gues s weren’t doing anything silly just every movement they made reverberated through the ceiling. Footsteps, dragging chairs bathroom fans it all made for a terrible nights sleep on the very firm beds.

Stayed for 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. Beautiful Lodge with mix of dwellings. Very private and everything you need. Beds are incredible hard but actually slept quite well.we had a 1st floor terrace with fab views. Terrace furniture could be more comfy so I moved the chair from room out and pleased I did. Food here was nice especially buffet but think it would be limited if ate there every night. Shuttle bus great service and takes about 15 mins. Pool area beautiful and well maintained. Staff not overly attentive but there if you need them.

We received an upgrade when we arrived and it was our best part of our holiday. We were there as a family and enjoyed every bit of it. The personnel was super friendly, charming, helpful and much more. If we would have had the change we would have stayed longer. We would highly recommend the lodge to others. Having a rental car would be my advice to have a relaxed holiday.

Beautiful lodge surroundings but limited dining options which were happily overcome by the charming and extremely helpful staff. I'd recommend staying here only if you're looking for stillness and tranquility as it's a very off the beaten path location that's at least 20 mins from the city centre of Essaouira which is very charming but quiet too.

We spent a wonderful few days at the lodge. The place is really peaceful, with a very nice common area featuring a pool and restaurant. The bus service to Essaouira is working perfectly; it's just a short 10-minute drive, and the drivers are extremely nice. It's a very good place if you want to stay with family or a few families, relax, and also be able to arrange short trips. We would like to especially thank Jamal, who was so kind and helpful throughout our stay.

It was a perfect stay for us (family with 2 kids 6/9y). We were surprised with an upgrade to a big and beatiful maison with garden and patio. The kids wanted to live here forever! The swimming pool was heated and in a perfect ambiance to celebrate holiday. The restaurant was also good with every day other good Food. And last but not least, all the people at essaouira lodge are friendly and welcoming. Thank You for everything. We will come back!

This has been my second stay in this beautiful garden. Conveniently distant from town and located in beautifully designed garden. The entire place is an icon of peace and serenity. Yes, you have peacocks visiting you in the morning, cats for lunch and dogs for dinner... And they are friendly. Staff and management could not be more helpful and pleasant to deal with. Private transport to and from town makes it a convenient location for a couples or a family stay. Highly recommended. But, please keep it a secret ;)

Satisfaisant pour une nuit. Nous avons été bien accueilli, le site est beau. Par contre nous avons eu une chambre qui venait tout juste d'être fini, il y avait de la poussière d'enduit sur le lit. Pas de télé La douche est agréable.

One male member of staff tried to kiss our young daughter on the mouth. When we consulted the manager we were told this was "normal in Morocco". Apart from that the place is well designed pretty to look at but has seen better days. Cleanliness is an issue, especially when staying with kids

One of the reasons we booked Essaouira Lodge was the promise of a kitchenette so we could do simple food preparation during our stay. However, the kitchen in our apartment lacked any of the bare essentials required to use it, such as cookware, cooking utensils, or cleaning products. After some back and forth with the staff we managed to get some beat-up pots and pans and a scrubbing brush; we had to forget about doing anything more complicated than boiling eggs. The kettle was filthy and the coffee maker needed an hour of amateur engineering and cleaning to bring it to working order. The apartment itself was quite nice but very much showing signs of age and cumulative lack of maintenance. The shuttle service back and forth from the city is excellent. The pool is nice and the staff in the restaurant/bar are lovely. The breakfast, however, is a bit grim.

We stayed here for 4 days and it was super relaxing. The pool area was great and the staff in the bar and restaurant were lovely. Our room was a little bit tired, and the bed was rock hard! There was also an awful smell from the shower which got progressively worse throughout our stay, they weren't very quick at resolving this which made it hard to spend time in the room. I had a massage at the hotel which was OK, but I would recommend getting one in the town as they are slightly better. Having the bus shuttle was brilliant as they take you into town whenever you request, and the driver was lovely. All in all I would recommend staying here as the price was so reasonable and the staff are so friendly, I was just a bit disappointed with our room, luckily we didn't spend much time in there!

The lodge itself is really lovely. Big rooms, nice pool and grounds, great service. Food is a little mediocre and quite a bit more than what we have paid elsewhere.

It seemed like a luxurious hotel based on the pictures and ratings. However, it is more like a nice but simple hotel with a great pool and wonderful gardens. Upon arrival a more welcoming manner would have been nice, but on the second day we felt the staff was a bit more attentive.

Stayed at Riad Jona twice during our stay in Morocco and would definitely stay here again. Once inside the Riad it is very peaceful and tranquil and the staff were fantastic; made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. The Riad is beautifully decorated throughout.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Essaouira Lodge. The suites, apartments and villas are all beautiful and set in lovely gardens. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful - they could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The food was lovely and they have a gorgeous and very relaxing massage room on site and hammam. The shuttle service to town is brilliant and it means you hardly even notice that you are staying outside the town as its so convenient. We would definitely recommend Essaouira Lodge as a delightful place to stay.

We stayed for a week at Essaouria Lodge which is about 15km out of Essaouira itself. The setting is lovely and is amazing value for money. We had a lovely breakfast every morning and a buffet lunch was always available. Evening meals had to be ordered in advance and we usually didn't have this. We almost had the place to ourselves. The hotel staff were very helpful. Little bits are tired. The gym equipment doesn't all work, the air conditioned bus is a bit less grand than billed, there is no wifi and the pre ordering for dinner are slight niggles but for the price I don't consider these to be a huge issue. If you want it all to be perfect then pay for that somewhere else. The free bus into town was always available for us and always on time and made a real difference to our experience. The weather is better just that little bit out of tow. If you want peace and quiet at a great price this is a fantastic spot.
