Excellent, friendly staff that made staying there a pleasure. The have 2 restaurants with delicious food and a clean pool. It's a little walk up to the medina (say 15 to 20 mins) but that it straight up the beach and so was beautiful in itself. It's right beside the beach so if it's not too windy then that's great to hang out on too.

The proprietors and staff were all delightful, happy to help and always efficient. Facilities were good. Cleanliness an obvious priority. My only complaint - pillows a bit lumpy.

I spent two nights at this Riad with my Burkinabe. The staff is benevolent; as Imane, Fatima and Imad are truly caring and beneficial. Their incredible level of service is unparalleled. We will definitely be returning.

Good location. Staff was generally very good and helpful. Pool was good and breakfast plentiful and also very good. Unfortunately they do not have air conditioning which really is desirable in this climate. I recommend this hotel very much, unless you want air conditioning.

The French family that run this riad could not be more helpful. Well positioned near the beach and an easy flat walk to the medina. Food was varied and good value. We think the hot water was desalinated, as it tasted very salty, and left our skin feeling a little sticky. Unfortunately a new building on one side of the beautifully kept pool meant it lost the sun at about 2pm when we were there late Oct/ early Nov. However we would have no hesitation in recommending Riad Zahra in Essaouira.

if you like staying at a hostel-like hotel, then this is the place for you. The room was dark, no view - well, there was a view of a backyard shed. This room should be used for storage, not for a tourist room. They claimed the place was full, I guess someone had to end up with this room, bad luck of the draw. But, I am beginning to wonder whether hotels have 'special' rooms set aside for the discounted online booking services such as Hotels.com's secret prices. Soap (toileteries) were sparse, old furniture that felt as though it was about to fall apart, bed very uncomfortable, dark hallways and room, poor wifi connection. It has no beach or water view since there is now a new building blocking that view, but then I did mention that the room we had was on the ground floor overlooking a shed area that stored surf boards.

Cons: Rooms: super thin walls, uncomfortable beds, no amenities like safe, tea/coffee service, and the bathroom supplies are meager. Also the window coverings are thin and the room never gets dark. Finally, our tv did not work until I asked at the front desk and someone came to fix it. When I complained about the noise (we could hear noise from the lobby and people showering and using the toilet above and next to us), the female owner told me my hearing was "sensitive." Pros: good location near the beach and the board walk, a 15 minute walk to the medina. Also, the lobby is pretty, the male owner and young woman who works the desk are friendly and helpful, and the seafood restaurant on the top floor has great views and tasty food and good service. Good breakfast--fresh fruit options and pots of hot strong coffee lots of bread options They also have a nice pool, but it isn't heated. There are a few turtles who live in the pool area, which was fun.

We had a fantastic stay in Riad Zahra. We initially booked for one night but ended up staying for three! The pool was lovely and the staff were very attentive. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was amazing.

Lovely people, nice food in downstairs restaurant, reasonably priced. Pool is nice, three pet terrapins and two tortoises add a nice touch. Service was attentive and pleasant. Bedroom was a good size, big shower and hot water at all times. We were very comfortable. Bedroom furnishings were pretty dour, and the sea view is spoilt by building works

The family who run this riad are so lovely, helpful, nothing was to much trouble, they gave us advise/ recommendations, drew us maps. We wish we had time to stay longer. Our room was gorgeous and well decorated with comfortable beds. It is a 1 minute walk around the building onto the beach and far enough from the medina to enjoy a 20 minute stroll on the sand which means its peaceful at night. The restaurants served lovely food and it was all very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again.

Comfortable and spacious room with some interesting artwork, however, the hotel itself is painfully dated and worn-out and could use some remodeling and fixing-up. WIFI was not working in the room. The Free Shuttle to CDG is the main reason to stay there.

The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the pool area is very nice and the food in both restaurants is top class. The rooms are quite basic and a bit on the small side, and the bed in our room was hideously uncomfortable. Despite this I would definitely recommend Riad Zahra

The hotel appeared quite rundown and although it was clean it felt unpleasant and in desperate need of renovation - shower head was broke and soft furnishings well worn. The only positive was that the hotel was right by the beach. It was about 20min walk to the medina but we didn't mind the walk. We were also entertained by the turtles swimming in the pool although I am generally concerned about the impact of chlorine water on them. Overall, it was quite an average experience and for the price we paid I would look for a nicer place. The place is called riad - don't be deceived, it's not, it's a hotel and if you are expecting to be staing in a riad you will be disappointed. Will not be staying there again.
