"An ocean oasis! Morning "

"Very beautiful riad with amazing views to the ocean. The restaurant was also quiet nice and not as expensive as one could imagine for such restaurant with views to the ocean."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Dar El Q’dima, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the vibrant Medina of Essaouira, this stunning riad offers an authentic yet luxurious Moroccan experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and beauty of the riad. The intricate details in the design, from the mosaic tiles to the beautiful carved woodwork, reflect the rich cultural heritage of the city. The courtyard, with its fragrant flowers, provided a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. The rooms were equally impressive, each uniquely decorated with a blend of traditional Moroccan elements and modern comforts. My room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered a perfect mix of comfort and elegance and the attention to detail in the decor made it feel like a true Moroccan sanctuary. What truly sets Dar El Q’dima apart, however, is the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay , BIG SHOUT OUT TO YASSIR he was nothing short of perfect. From recommending the best places to eat, their warmth and hospitality made me feel like a valued guest. The rooftop terrace is another highlight of the riad – the views of the Medina and the ocean in the distance are breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a refreshing mint tea and soak in the surroundings. If you’re looking for an authentic, tranquil Riad Dar El Q’dima is the place to stay - Sincerely, Hakim H. Traveler from New York."
