STE PERLE D'EAU

8/10 Good
"Behind the street door s a great Riad, would recommend. The rooms are big and comfortable and have a kettle. . The hotel is great with a lovely rooftop terrace which overlooks the water. Breakfast is good and staff are friendly and helpful. Only thing of note is that it has no air conditioning but Essaourira is on the coast and cooler so Oct stay this wasn’t an issue."
