Location

If you're looking for a relaxing rural location close to the town of Essaouira, then Essaouira Lodge is the perfect place for you. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to and from the town, which is only a 20-minute drive away. Although the hotel is isolated and set in the middle of a forest, it is a beautiful location and property, perfect for a calmer and more rural stay. The staff are also excellent and always willing to help. However, the road leading to the hotel is in poor condition and can be difficult to navigate at night, so it's recommended to either take a taxi or adapt your schedule according to the shuttle bus timings. Despite this, the location is definitely worth a visit and the spacious rooms and peaceful surroundings are sure to make your stay unforgettable.

Breakfast

If you're a breakfast person, you're in luck at Essaouira Lodge! With an excellent breakfast buffet style, there is always lots of choice for guests.

The buffet may not be perfect with some guests finding it repetitive or with too many white carbs, but overall it's quite good. For those who prefer a sit-down breakfast service, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are still plenty of options to choose from. And if you happen to encounter any issues, the incredibly helpful staff will ensure you leave satisfied and full.
