Sehr geschmackvolles familiäres Hotel mit tollem Meerblick

Sehr freundlicheres Personal, gingen auf alle unsere Wünsche ein, z. B. Bei wechselhaften Wetter trotzdem auf der Dachterrasse zu frühstücken ( wir wurden mit Sonne belohnt). Top sauber, ruhig, bequeme Betten. Tolles Frühstück mit frischem Obstsalat und selbstgemachtem Joghurt. Und der Blick aufs Meer - traumhaft!

Die Bäder waren top, bis auf dass es stark nach Gully / Abfluss gerochen hat.

Excelente Riad al borde del mar en la Medida de Essaouira

Excelente Riad al borde del mar en la Medida de Essaouira. Desde la terraza y alguna habitación se tenía una magníficas vistas sobre el océano escuchando el sonido de las olas. Las instalaciones son realmente extraordinarias: limpieza absoluta, recién pintado (diciembre2023), tumbonas nuevas, mesas, decoración. Todo muy bien. El desayuno es variado y único en la terraza con el sol de la mañana y el rumor del mar: zumo de naranja, crepes, café, té, tortilla francesa, pan, macedonia de frutas, etc. Fantástico. Y la atención del personal, único. Destaco a Hafida, gerente y gobernanta del Riad. Celebramos la cena de Nocebuena allí y su gusto por los detalles nos hizo estar en un lugar exótico. Y la cena riquísima (25eur. por persona). Recomiendo muchísimo este Riad por todo. Gracias.

Nos gustó todo. Hay que llegar obligatoriamente al Riad andando porque está en la Medina. Es lógico, sucede a todos los alojamientos que hay allí. Si se necesita a un transportista para llevar el equipaje, se puedo solicitar a Hafida. El taxi te deja en la Puerta de Marrakesh (10 minutos andando).

Such a wonderful place - one of the very best places we had the pleasure of staying in Morocco?

Beautiful place to end our 2 week stay in Morocco. The property was immaculate, great views of the ocean, staff was lovely and so helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop deck was such a great was to start the day. I can still hear the sound of the ocean from my room. What a great choice-you won’t regret booking here!

Nothing what so ever! It was perfect!

Very nice despite some small issues

The staff were so charming, very clean lovely place generous breakfast

We had to pay cash in full at the start and everything in cash. I don't think they realise this is not so simple for guests because there's a security limit on cards, quite high transaction costs and it's inconvenient to have to go to a cash machine. Also for the business, customers will buy more extra things if it can go on the account

Highly Recommend Superb Place to Stay - will definitely return one day

Absolutely amazing choice of place to stay. We arrived at 7pm after an 8 hour journey and we were welcomed by lovely Hafida. She made us feel most welcome and arranged for our cases to be carried up to our room on the rooftop. Hafida gave us a map and pointed out places to eat and visit. Our room was superb and to see and hear the sea was fantastic, couldn’t have been better. The room and bathroom were most comfortable and sparkling clean. Our first night we had sundowners at Salut Maroc - a lovely venue. It is popular so I would suggest you get there a little earlier to secure a table. The beach stretches for miles, it was a super walk. In the afternoon when it was a little cooler we went to lie on the beach and for a swim. The port is also a place worth visiting with the fish market. We loved all the endless action in the Medina. On our last evening we made a reservation at Le Love by Caravane. An absolute must delicious tapas and live entertainment. We had an early departure 5am and Hafida kindly arranged a staff member to provide us with breakfast before we set off on our 3 hour trip to Marrakesh. We would definitely return to La Fountaine Bleue on our next trip.

Overall very happy, would recommend to others, and would definitely come back!

Staff is great, rooms were great, breakfast was great... Will definitely come back if I'm in Essaouira again! Rooftop view and seating areas were wonderful. Loved having breakfast on the rooftop!

Dealing in cash only is awkward, this was info only provided in an email after booking. I'm not actually sure I would have booked it had I known (although I'm ultimately glad I did because I really liked the place). It's a large sum to pull out of an ATM. If I were traveling for work, that would not be acceptable. (I was in Morocco for work but this was a personal excursion). App quoted in USD, conversion to MAD from EUR (which wasn't any part of the original booking in my app) in cash by the hotel made the rooms (I booked two) about $20 more than I had expected while booking the rooms. That makes it a bit frustrating. It's important to know the price ahead of time. Getting there... There's a path that Google maps takes you to the hotel through some very questionable streets. There are other ways to walk there that are fine, but it's in a still-being-renovated area which made getting there a little concerning.

Charming, warm and friendly accommodation. Thoroughly recommended.

This is a really charming and very well maintained riad. It is expertly run by host Hafida and husband Abdul, who were extremely helpful to my wife and I throughout our one week stay. The staff were courteous, warm and friendly. The lovely breakfast on the terrace with the view of the ocean was a super way to start each day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

our rating: eleven out of ten!

This place was definitely the highlight of our Morocco trip. The hotel is located within the Medina and yet it is in an absolutely quiet neighborhood. The loudest noise you will hear during the night is the distant rumble of the waves hitting the shore way below. All technical equipment is working as it should (lights, hot water, heater, no squeaking beds or doors...) and the rooms are impeccably clean. The staff will go out of their way to accomodate all your wishes with a big smile. A very good breakfast is served on the sunny roof. And do not miss the delicious dinner... We'll be back!

Fantastic hotel

My stay here was exceptional, I didn’t want to leave! Everything is super clean and the rooms are nice and bright. The view from the rooftop is phenomenal. The welcome from Haifida, Abdou and the rest of the team was beyond expectations; they made the place feel like home and went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable. Food was all delicious and homemade. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Not one bad word to say.

Hafida and Abdelhk were exceptional hosts, they were very warm, welcoming and friendly. Thanks to Malika and Sara for a delicious breakfast every morning. It was really lovely to be able to lie in bed at night and listen to the sea. The roof terrace was fabulous and the cleanliness and service were exceptional.
