Riad Mimouna

10/10 Excellent
"The location has to be the best in Essaouira. Our room overlooked the ocean with waves lapping the cliffs below. Lovely friendly staff, lovely restaurant overlooking the ocean with an almost panoramic view. I can highly recommend an ocean view room here, you won't regret it."
