This is my second stay here. Although the riad is slightly out of the way up an unmade road it is a sanctuary of peace and quiet! The rooms are clean and well furnished. The staff are friendly and helpful. The pool is an added bonus. The breakfast is good and plentiful. I highly recommend trying their “Thé Royale” which makes a pleasant change from mint tea.

This was an amazing stay Jamal and his wife go all out to give guests a great experience- nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is huge with a big selection of different items. The pool was an added bonus. The lady who cooks (sorry I don’t recall her name) is friendly and helpful as well as a good cook! It’s a few miles/kilometres out of Essaouira so a car is probably preferable but if you want a fab place to stay that is peaceful, calm and clean then this is the place for you! I will certainly return there if I visit Essaouira again. I just enjoyed chilling out by the pool and popping into Essaouira late afternoon/early evening. If I had one tiny criticism it’s about the coffee- I drink loads every day and if they’d invest in a proper coffee machine that would be an 11/10! However the fantastic Tea Royal more than made up for the lack of coffee machine! Merci Beaucoup. A la prochaine!

Title: A Peaceful Oasis with the Warmest Welcome "We stayed at this beautiful Riad as two couples and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. While the Riad is located in a rural area with some building work and unused land nearby, the moment you step through the doors, you are completely cocooned in an authentic, peaceful paradise. You wouldn’t even know the outside world existed. The hospitality began the moment we arrived at 8pm, tired from our journey, to find a Royal Couscous and Tagine already prepared for us. It was a spectacular welcome and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The lady who looked after us was a dream; although we spoke through a translation app, her kindness was clear. She kept the place spotless and her breakfast was simply the best every morning to start the day! Jamal and Katty are incredible hosts—nothing was ever too much trouble—and their dogs, Abbi and Ruby, are just lovely and made the place feel even more like home. From the stunning decor and the amazing chandelier in the billiard room to the relaxing pool area, the Riad had everything we needed. If you want an authentic, warm, and friendly Moroccan experience, look no further. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us!"

Nous avons passé un super moment dans ce beau Riad, en grande partie grâce a la gentillesse et la serviabilité de nos hôtes Jamal et Cathy. De vrais belles personnes, qui donnent vraiment le sentiment de faire cela surtout pour le contact humain plutôt que pour l’argent. Ça fait toute la différence. On s’est senti comme à la maison, l’ambiance est vraiment détendue, la piscine est magnifique et très agréable, les chambres sont climatisées et il y a beaucoup d’équipements. Nous recommandons vivement!

Superbe séjour chez Katty et Djamal du 29 mai au 1er juin - un accueil formidable, une très grande gentillesse - un riad très spacieux, reposant, très propre, avec touts les équipements souhaités - une literie au top - des nuits très calmes - bref « on est comme à la maison » avec des hôtes qui nous ont permis de passer un excellent séjour grâce à de précieux conseils, des petits déjeuners succulents sur mesure - le thé à la menthe, le thé royal, le jus de fruit frais… las attentions au top - vraiment un grand merci pour votre bonne humeur et votre souci permanent pour notre bien-être - sans oublier nos amis à 4 pattes qui apportent de la vie avec leur maîtres - et le grand plus aussi, la magnifique piscine est ses équipements extérieurs pour se poser - Ne changez rien Katty et Djamal - vous êtes des personnes au top !

Super sejour dans le riad de Jamal et katie. Le lieu est superbe et tres bien équipé. Les hotes sont tres conviviaux et pleins de bon conseils. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et copieux (merci Latifa) Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. C'est le meilleur endroit ou se poser (et reposer) pour visiter Essaouira
