This place was excellent! The room overlooking the ocean was large and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast was served on the rooftop terrace and was decent (eggs, breads, fruit, coffee/tea etc). The location is quiet and just a short walk from the main walkway with all the shops. It’s just a few minutes walk from the gate at the edge of the Medina where the taxi drops you off. Watching the tide come in and the fishermen out on the rocks every morning was a highlight. The sunsets are incredible too!

The shower took awhile to get hot, which was fine, but I didn’t like wasting all the water waiting for it. They are experiencing a drought here after all. Other than that the place was one of my favorites on my whole trip of 6 weeks in Morocco.

Riad Perle D’eau exceeded our expectations and certainly offered us an amazing experience. We originally booked two superior rooms. My room was upgraded to a suite with sea view and our son, who was supposed to share a superior room with his sister, was offered an extra double room ( free of charge). The staff are very helpful and friendly with outstanding customer service. They were all attentive to our interests and needs and made us feel at home. A special thank you to Kabira, Ismail and Marwan. We loved the friendly cat Perle who was vaccinated and loved to play with us. The breakfast was freshly made. I would strongly recommend staying at this Riyad.

No thing

The purity of air freshness and cleanliness is beyond and to a natural freshness. The Riad is clean and rooms are perfectly presented allows a natural feel of relaxation as to its location near the sea allows the mind to deflate. The care the receptionist gave was heart warming. Nothing is ever too much to ask. Thank you our first contact on arrival dear Zinab and the rest of receptionist team to the cleaners the breakfast 🍳 attendant and not to forget the Riad cat 🐈 Perl 🥰. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will for sure come back again 🧡🥰. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Nothing we did not like. Everything was PERFECT.

They served one of the best breakfasts we've had among the hotels we stayed at in Morocco. The rooftop view is breathtaking. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional service from the front desk staff, particularly Zineb. She greeted us warmly and provided excellent recommendations for nearby traditional Moroccan restaurants, which we tried and found delicious. Knowing we were interested in experiencing a hammam at a public bath, Zineb went above and beyond by accompanying us, as the staff there didn't speak English or French, and we would have struggled to find the entrance on our own. It was an unforgettable experience. Additionally, Zineb and her colleague treated us to a pot of delightful mint tea, making our stay at this lovely hotel even more memorable.

Breakfast was delicious! All ingredients were "home made" (even the yoghurt on the first day) and it was more than plentiful! It is served on your table (not as a buffet). As there was a lot of wind on our two-day stay, we had breakfast inside the little room on the roof-top terrace. The terrace is certainly wonderful for breakfast a little later in the year: we stayed from 2nd to 4th March. The fruit was freshly cut to a small fruit salad, bread was toasted and other pastries ( neither salty nor sweet) were freshly made. You can also ask for eggs any style. Jam, honey and a special Moroccan argan oil-honey-almond paste mixture were delicious! The orange juice was freshly pressed and lovely, and Moroccan tea was also served. We enjoyed our healthy and delicious breakfasts. Our room was beautifully decorated: 1 comfortable double-bed, two lovely blue chairs with a round mosaïque table as "lounge", a beautiful old-style built-in cupboard including a safe (which unfortunately didn't open...), a Moroccan-style bathroom with lovely shower and body-lotion products and a "separate" toilette were perfect. The roof-top terrace was wonderful! A direct view onto the Atlantic Ocean, with sun-beds and tables and chairs. You can enjoy peaceful hours there, with just the sound of the ocean and the sea-gulls. The Riyad is very pretty: Moroccan lamps, precious carpets on the wall, and what impressed us most of all was the delicious dinner we enjoyed at the Riyad, made by the "manager-cook". Staff was wonderful! We also enjoyed a relaxing massage at the Riyad. Situated in the Medina, this Riyad is very well situated: calm but in the centre of all activities. We would return there any time! And recommend it to anyone who is looking for beauty, calm and wonderful staff at great prices. We also loved the "house-cat" Perle! Staff were wonderful! We felt totally at home!

The breakfast service was a little long on the second day, but not too much. The safe in the room didn't work but there is no problem with security in this lovely Riyad.

We honestly had the best time at Riad Perle d'Eau. From the minute we arrived we were so well looked after by Ismaail and the team at the Riad. They were all so kind and caring and extremely helpful. Special thanks to Zeneb who organised taxis, horse riding, quad biking etc for us and was just so lovely! The evening meal we had and all the breakfasts were delicious. The attention to detail - beautiful comfy beds, crisp cotton sheets, luxurious fluffy towels, gorgeous rooms all helped to make our stay extra special. We had a hammam and massage in the Spa which was fabulous and such a treat! And we really loved Pearl, the Riad's cat - she was very cute and friendly. The location is perfect - we had a room overlooking the beach and it was fabulous to hear the waves when you opened the window. It's a nice walk around the Medina and onto the larger beach. We loved Essaouira - very relaxed vibe and lovely people. Couldn't recommend Riad Perle d'Eau enough - you'll love it! Thanks to all there for making our stay so fantastic.

There is absolutely nothing that could have been better!

This hotel was arguably our favourite accommodation on our entire trip (even though it was not the most expensive or most luxurious one we stayed at). It captures the essence of Essaouria just SOOOO well! The style, the charm, the hospitality, the ocean and THE VIEW!!!! The room we had was just so incredibly charming! The building is literally on the walls of the city and nothing else between the beach and the window of the room. Crashing sound of the waves and the salty smells of the oceans are right next to you. The room itself was very spacious, bathroom was fantastic, and loved the extra furnishings. The sunsets from this place are just sooooo stunning too! The memories a cigarette on the rooftop terrace under a dark starry night with the waves crashing below will stay with me for a very long time. My wife will instead remember the lovely breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the ocean in the morning (see photos). Ismail did a phenomenal job attending to our needs! I can honestly say that I wouldn't stay anywhere else on my next trip to Essaouria!

It's a pleasure to work with the staff, especially Kariba, Zeina, Ismail, Ibrahim, In a friendly manner, they will make you feel as if you have known them for a long time.

As access is not close to the riad, you have to walk through the old city, which can be scary at night, and there are no signs on the way, so it is best to coordinate with them to facilitate the access.

The breakfasts were lovely. I enjoyed the terrace. My room was perfect. I was especially grateful to be on the sea. My friends stayed at a Riad deeper in the Medina and they struggled every night with smoke from burning trash. So I felt so happy to have the cool seabreeze. The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

I was a little disappointed that during a six night stay, I never got fresh sheets. The reason I know this is because there was a stain on my sheet and every day when I pulled back the top cover, same stain, same sheet. I think it might be nice to change guest’s sheets every few days… also, my first night was a very warm evening, and I was uncomfortable in my room. I went downstairs to ask for a fan, but the whole place was deserted. i recall the staff telling me when I checked in that I was the only one staying in the Riad that night. When I couldn’t find any staff members for assistance, I felt like I was there all alone, and that was a little creepy.

Absolutely lovely staff ! , i was looked after very well by them, fabulous breakfast, fresh juice, fruit, youghurt, breads and eggs. A large room and wonderful views from the roof terrace. The reception area is very impressive. Riad well placed in the Medina although perhaps a bigger sign on the door to help find it.

My only big complaint was the shower in my room. It really wasn't up to the job. It wasn't powerful enough to wash my hair and on the last day water stopped completely mid shower. I had to wash the soap off my body in the hand basin. Small complaints , No bathrobe in the room, Also the two sunloungers on the roof looked tired and very uninviting, no cushions , no towels etc
