Older property but very clean and functional. Staff at front desk quite willing to help out with anything you need. Breakfast, lunch and dinner have nice buffets with good service.
rooms won't clean
breakfast was limited & very poor
power outage and water outage
in middle of no mans land inside a massive jungle, road conditions were very poor
Charming property with a good pool. Rooms were spacious and we had a good view. The surrounding area is essentially desert and the free shuttle or a car are essential.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful lodge surroundings but limited dining options which were happily overcome by the charming and extremely helpful staff. I'd recommend staying here only if you're looking for stillness and tranquility as it's a very off the beaten path location that's at least 20 mins from the city centre of Essaouira which is very charming but quiet too.
Great big property but in poor condition in parts.
Severe ant infestation in living room.
Some cold water taps not working.
No shower gel or shampoo in some bathrooms. No soap in one toilet. Another toilet flush not working. Terribly cleaned by maid service.
Établissement très agréable, potentiel de développement vers un quatre étoiles de qualité. Le personnel est très agréable. Options vegan dans le restaurant, un point particulièrement appréciable.
Satisfaisant pour une nuit.
Nous avons été bien accueilli, le site est beau.
Par contre nous avons eu une chambre qui venait tout juste d'être fini, il y avait de la poussière d'enduit sur le lit. Pas de télé
La douche est agréable.
Séjour très agréable dans un super cadre.
Un personnel au service de tous (mention spéciale au personnel du restaurant).
Le service restauration était très bon (il y a sûrement un bon cuisinier derrière).
Une mauvaise expérience, endroit très froid trop bruyant, et personnels tres désagréables.

Don't stay there with children
One male member of staff tried to kiss our young daughter on the mouth. When we consulted the manager we were told this was "normal in Morocco". Apart from that the place is well designed pretty to look at but has seen better days. Cleanliness is an issue, especially when staying with kids

Lovely, peaceful location but showing its age
One of the reasons we booked Essaouira Lodge was the promise of a kitchenette so we could do simple food preparation during our stay. However, the kitchen in our apartment lacked any of the bare essentials required to use it, such as cookware, cooking utensils, or cleaning products. After some back and forth with the staff we managed to get some beat-up pots and pans and a scrubbing brush; we had to forget about doing anything more complicated than boiling eggs. The kettle was filthy and the coffee maker needed an hour of amateur engineering and cleaning to bring it to working order.
The apartment itself was quite nice but very much showing signs of age and cumulative lack of maintenance.
The shuttle service back and forth from the city is excellent. The pool is nice and the staff in the restaurant/bar are lovely. The breakfast, however, is a bit grim.

Piscine chauffée :)) stationnement facile
Personnel dévoué
We stayed here for 4 days and it was super relaxing. The pool area was great and the staff in the bar and restaurant were lovely.
Our room was a little bit tired, and the bed was rock hard! There was also an awful smell from the shower which got progressively worse throughout our stay, they weren't very quick at resolving this which made it hard to spend time in the room.
I had a massage at the hotel which was OK, but I would recommend getting one in the town as they are slightly better.
Having the bus shuttle was brilliant as they take you into town whenever you request, and the driver was lovely.
All in all I would recommend staying here as the price was so reasonable and the staff are so friendly, I was just a bit disappointed with our room, luckily we didn't spend much time in there!
