We had a wonderful time at this Riad. The rooms and space were clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Gabby cooked us a fantastic méchoui. The hammam and massage were wonderful. The parking isn’t too far away considering the location of the Riad within the fortress walls. One of the closer ones to the parking lot. Amazing ocean view from the roof patio where we enjoyed our breakfast.

Fantastic riad. Our favorite out of four cities in Morocco. The ocean view suite was absolutely fabulous. Perfect views any time of day. Amazing to watch and listen to the waves.
Breakfast on terrace simply spectacular.
Very pleasant staff. Would gladly return there!
A pearl in the Medina indeed. A wonderful room, facing the pounding Atlantic, with easy access to all of Essaouira. The breakfast was a great start to the day. My hamman and massage -- like my wife's pedicure and facial -- were refreshing, relaxing and effective. Add the amazing staff, and we'd come here anytime Essaouira calls.
Terrific location. Welcoming hosts, lovely property on a quiet street, rooms overlooking the ocean with a magnificent view. Rooms very comfortable and good size, as are the bathrooms. Lovely roof terrace where breakfast is served, and guests can lounge. Highly recommend!
Beautiful hotel. Wonderful view of the Atlantic ocean from breakfast terrace and from suite room. Excellent and very responsive and helpful staff. Thank you.
An all around amazing experience. Beautiful room. I would stay here again any time. The sea view room was amazing and the roof top terrace is exceptional. The Hammam experience is a must.
Great place for decent price!!! Lovely and helpful staff, nice breakfast, beautiful and clean room. Fabulous view from the terasse. Also used the hammam, which was very good and convenient to just get into your bedroom from there to relax. Will be back!
Convenient location. Clean room. Nice road beautifully decorated. Standard breakfast. No air conditioning but open window cooled room very nicely. Would prefer television for when in room in evening. Free WiFi.

3 days in December at Perle D’eau
Location good for getting anywhere in the Medina. Excellent view out to sea from our room. Room a bit tired and gloomy, breakfast average. Staff helpful.
I only stayed one night but the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The riad was beautiful inside and so was the room. Sheets and bedding covers may need renewals as there were markings of old stains. I was not in doubt that it was clean though and it wouldn’t abstain me from visiting again. The breakfast was lovely and the view from the roof amazing just by the beach.

Great location, but ...
Great location, and very nice people. But the room was dark and mildewy, and the breakfast service was poor. Plus, the power went off, and they made us pay extra expenses in cash.
Our stay could not have been more perfect. Check-in was easy and the receptionist spoke English fluently. She helped us coordinate an early check out the next morning as well as a porter to meet us at 5 AM to bring our items to the parking area and meet our taxi. The staff is very diligent, and the property is gorgeous. We had a room that had an ocean view and we were able to listen to the waves crash throughout the night. The shower is incredible and high-end toiletries are provided. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend this property to anyone.
A wonderful riad/boutique hotel with less than 10 rooms. The staff was excellent, attentive and helpful in every matter. The riad is located directly to the see, with a rooftop terrase overlooking the ocean and sunset. Breakfast was delicious every morning. We had a spacious and well-equipped room towards the street - no noise at all since cars or motorbikes are not allowed within the medina - but the suites faces the ocean and next time we will aim for one of those. All in all highly recommendable.
The hotel is in need of complete refurbishment it is tired and the plaster is falling off the walls in places. The rooms were far below what was expected and were a massive disappointment. We mainly booked this hotel due to the views but this was only from the rooftop. The facilities were also not as advertised and did not exist! Overall it was a dreadful 3 nights and I would not recommend staying. The spa was also one of the worst experiences although the therapists were very good.

A window in our room was leaking and could not be closed. A lot of sand and dust and dirt from the street blew in, unfortunately also onto the open travelling bag. It could not be repaired. However, the room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was good, but not varied. The reception was very nice and we were able to shorten one night and get our money back. We thought there was a car park at the riad according to the expedia description, but we had to park outside the medina and carry our luggage to the riad (12 min walk through the souk). But all in all a very nice riad. In winter the rooms are fresh despite the radiant heaters and small heating system.
Loved the location by the water and a quiet beach in close proximity. Excellent rooftop to have breakfast, watch sunset or relax. Wifi worked fine. Room was spacious and clean. Will recommend.
