Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort

Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This was my first time staying at the Atlas hotel in Essaouira however I’ve dined at this hotel many times. Their breakfast buffet is absolutely amazing. I applaud the buffet manager, the chefs, the servers and the lady at the omelette station on a job well done. I was highly impressed by the decor in the room. It was modern, colorful, clean, bright and absolutely beautiful. This is my favorite hotel in Essaouira and I highly recommend it. I had an amazing stay at this hotel, and can’t wait to visit again."
