The staff was pleasant, and there was a sea view from the terrace. It was very cute inside, but the beds were rock hard. I like a firm mattress, so it is saying something when I complain about a bed being hard. During this trip, we visited Fes and Marrakesh also, and Essouira was by far our favorite location. The medina is a little less crowded. The shops are a little less pushy... And it has the ocean.
