Hotel Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa sea & spa – Mgallery

First ever review and thought it was warranted, given I read many reviews on this resort and wasn't sure myself about booking. The Hotel is a bit dated but you get 5 star service, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Exceptionally well located, sea view was stunning. The hotel beach area is perfect, well staffed comfortable bed/loungers and good food. For what you pay I think overall great hotel.

Beautiful hotel. We took a room with a balcony and it was so nice to have a full view of the ocean. All the facilities were great. There's a full aquatic center and gym that we made use of. Private beach area was the most appreciated as was the room service for lunch which was reasonably priced for great quality food. Essaouira is a beautiful little town and the Medina is a quick 10 minute walk from the hotel. Unlike the other big cities, we were never approached by vendors so we felt free to browse the many shops. The fortress is a must visit with lots of quaint restaurants.

Great breakfast spread, lots of options for the whole family. The spa was really lovely and had different types of offerings, which I appreciated. Our room was spacious and comfy, and we had lots of room for everyone. When we asked for a crib for our toddler, they got it for us within an hour and had everything he needed (little pillow, blanket, etc). Staff were kind and nice, very welcoming. The heated pool was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay and was the perfect way to end our trip to Morocco.

They were doing renovations when I was there and I was very sceptical however it made absolutely no difference to the stay apart from accessing the outdoor pool which would be too cold anyway at that time of year the bedrooms offered in as alternative were looking onto the sea and was superbthe staff were amazing and was in the café overlooking the beach and see which was really really excellent. I strongly recommend staying at this hotel. I have stayed here many times before.

After reading some comments, we were expecting a relatively run down hotel, which was really not the case. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and for several reasons: the hotel itself is really well maintained, and beautiful. The outside pool area is great, with several poolside very comfy sunbeds surrounded by lush vegetation. The pool itself was a bit cold, but on hotter days was really nice. The hotel also has an excellent inside pool that serves as a thalasso space. You can book 1h each day, and the whole family enjoyed it almost on every single day of our stay. We had the buffet breakfast on several occasions, which was plentiful, from continental choices (viennoiseries, bread, cheese, cereals) to local delicacies (e.g. soups, moroccan dishes) as well as crepes. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day, with a very efficient staff. The hotel also has an outside private beach area, which we used almost every day. The staff there was excellent, and made sure we had shade for our little one every single time. Finally, the location is great: it is outside the Medina, but a few minutes walk from it so you get the best of both worlds: access to the busy streets within a few minutes and a few steps away from the beach. Cannot recommend enough, especially for families with young kids!
