A beautiful traditional Moroccan Riad with the Atlantic Ocean for our garden! We loved the vibrant colours, the beautiful tiles and the whole peaceful ambience. The roof top restaurant was stunning with its panoramic views over the ocean. Watching the waves crashing on the rocks…. Fantastic photo opportunities. Absolutely breathtaking. There are no cars within the Medina walls as the streets are narrow and lined with the wonderful markets, so they have friendly locals with large barrows to transport your luggage to and from the Riad, for a few Dirhams. Very handy when your bags are full of the gorgeous wares sold in the markets. Take an empty suitcase!!

Everything was outstanding.

The location of this hotel is perfect and the best is really the view over the sea and the beach. The staff is exceptionally nice and always smiling, always available and ready to help, one of the best staff members of all our stays in Morocco. The decor is very tasteful and very typical, we loved the lamps, the rugs and the rooms are very beautiful. The rooftop is probably the best in the town given the direct view over the melhor of the beach. The location is great, everything is close by.

However, the rooms could be better, they show some signs of need of reparations given the air directly from the sea (very corrosive to metals and wood).

We have been to Essaouira mamy times so when we came across this Riad it was something to give us a different experience and the view when we walked into our room took our breath away. It was spectacular. The rocks, beach, ocean and views od the old city and walls. The staff were all excellent, kind, helpful and made us feel very comfortable, really very good. When we arrived for check in it was smooth and informative. The team sent tea to our room and a lovely fruit basket. Room was very spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was good and when we wanted some of the local breads (in addition to what was provided) the staff went and bought some for us. Bed was huge and very comfortable. The terrace and dinner at the rooftop is modern and beautiful and had lovely views across the rooftops or ocean. The lobby also was beautiful and traditional Riad style. Great location for exploring the Kasbah, streets and main square. Overall we loved the Riad.

Nothing I didnt like actually but Just sharing this info as some may find it useful. Typically in most Riads there is no air-conditioning so just be aware of your personal preference. Room was a little stuffy due to the ocean humidity but not hot even in the height of summer. We opened the window a little and could hear the ocean which was loud but it was wonderful. We booked the ocean facing room and understood what we were getting from past comments.

Beautiful Riad, next to the sea. We watched the changing tides for hours with armchairs in front of the floor to ceiling windows. Staff were extremely helpful and very kind. Our bedroom was enormous, and very comfortable. Bathroom was a good size. Breakfast was plentiful, and evening dinners on roof terrace were reasonably priced with a good selection of meals.

Shower over awkward bath with no shower curtain. It was also extremely difficult to maintain a constant temperature, so shower water temperature kept switching from very cold to extremely hot which was unwelcome. No fridge in room was a nuisance.

The view from the room was marvelous. Location in the Medina is brilliant. Room was very good, exactly what we were looking for. Balcony was nice but normally a little to windy to enjoy it to the full. Breakfast is good, recommend the mynte tea. All in all, hotel is comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and service is fine.

Shower can be improved, should be better. Breakfast a little monotonous, some variation might be good. TV channels not up to standard, hardly possible to watch any news and football games only available in the lobby.

This is THE place to stay in Essaouira if you want a room right on the Atlantic Ocean, yet within easy walk of the center of the walled city. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom well-equipped, bt the highlight was opening the windows and hearing the surf crashing below. Breakfast is served on the 4th floor which has a lovely view across the water and into the town. Walk up on the terrace to get great views at sunrise and sunset. The staff were also very helpful, the place clean. We hated to leave and will recommend this place to anyone going to Essaouira. First rate!

Comfortable, clean, and with a lift! I arrived last minute after another hotel let me down and was met by Karim, who was personable and very friendly. The next day, there was a particularly nice young lady on reception. She was extremely helpful and kind and went out of her way to help. I cannot thank the staff enough

The other hotels that messed me around!! Thankfully, the staff at Mimouna were brilliant.

This road has one of the best views you could ever want. modern good facilities with helpful staff. As with all riads it was a little dark in our room and a little cold. The breakfast was good and plentiful. Staff are always there to be helpful and meet your needs. They were not pushy in finding activities around town.

The biggest problem we found was that there were not enough electrical outlets in our room. All were dedicated to lights, tv and the like and so you have to unplug something in order to charge or use the outlets.

The staff were very helpfull and friendly. We were given tips of things to do. And always met with a smile. The view was amazing

The beds were a bit hard. The room towards the sea was lovely, but as there was no air conditioning we had to have the window open and the noise was more than we expected.

As others have said, paying more for the mini-suite with sea view is worth it. Sleeping to the sounds of crashing waves is a rare treat, all the more because short of a villa, most other countries tend to put an un-openable window in such rooms. Bed is comfortable; housekeeping excellent. Bathroom is modern with Moroccan tiles; good water pressure.Staff at reception are professional and discreet – understated but top-notch service. Staff on terrace and at breakfast are friendly too but seem more inexperienced. Breakfast is not the sumptuous feast you might expect of a traditional riad, but then again, Mimouna is really more like a fully-fledged hotel that is architecturally Moroccan.

At this price point, replace the (understandably) rusted bathroom bin and some threadbare towels. Also did not appreciate one of the guys at reception being a bit fresh with me (not the young bespectacled gentleman – he was always kindly and welcoming) – if I ask for new Wifi codes because the previous ones have stopped working, I do not want to be told with a straight face, multiple times, that I cannot get new ones, as a joke. I am generally quite good-humoured about such 'jesting', but as a solo female traveller who looks young, I get quite enough of it walking through the streets and do not need it in a relatively expensive hotel.
