A charming and and attractively decorated riad just a few yards from Moulay Hassan. The first and second floor each have private terrace overlooking the central ground floor patio area. The third floor has a small outside area which leads to the rooftop terrace. Then there is where we stayed which is the top floor room overlooking the terrace, small... More

After a so-so experience for 2 nights in Essaouira, we moved on short notice to the Riad de la Mer for our last night. Diane's prompt email communication made for an easy reservation. Abdul met us there and made sure that our stay was comfortable. We had the second floor apartment, a wonderful set of wooden-door and shuttered rooms overlooking... More

I have been to Essouira many times and stayed in various hotels, this time we stayed at Riad de la Mer for 9 nights and loved it. Abdul and his wife are charming and so friendly, a pleasure to get to know! They keep the place spotlessly clean. The location is quiet with a great atmosphere and close to the... More

This riad was clean and easy to find, made all the more easy by Abdul and his wife Saida. Diane made it easy to booko the riad through paypal. There was one other guest staying and we were able to communicate with Siada that we would like dinner. The whole riad smelled savory and delightful. She is an excellent cook... More

From the moment we walked in the door of this riad with the kind Abdul we felt peace coming over us. The rooms are spacy clean and very comfortable. You can feel and see that the owner has a great taste for details and the personal touch made us feel very at home away from home. Saida coocked us a... More

Stayed here after Marrakech and felt instantly relaxed. Abdul the manager kindly met us at the coach station which is swarming with chariot(trolley) pushers and riad hawkers very keen for your business!! We stayed on the fourth floor which is lovely and light and airy. The views out to sea and the little islands are stunning, even more so from... More

Having stayed in the riot that is Marrakesh for three days,we travelled on to Essaouira and found calm. The Riad de la Mer is centrally situated and we were met by Abdul the manager. It is about 10 minutes from the coach station of Supr@tours. The Riad is beautiful inside and very quiet. We had booked to be on the... More

We are a family of five on our first visit to Morocco and we spent a total of fifteen nights in the Riad during Ramadan. De la Mer is very well located, being just off the main square. It is spacious, clean and has some lovely little touches. There are some superb views over the port and the beds are... More

Riad de la Mer is right off the main square in the old walled city of Essaouira. Finding it though, is kind of a trick. You enter the arched stone entrance to the left of the Cafe Paris and proceed down an ancient tunnel, pas the shops of craftmen and artist until you find a blue door with a sign... More

We booked this riad as a group of 9 with mixed ages and it worked perfectly. There was plenty of room for us to get along nicely and the rooms were all generous in size and nicely furnished. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was useful for hot drinks and snacks as we mostly ate out, Abdul the concierge... More
