The rooms are beautifully decorated with comfortable beds and great showers. The towels were nice large hotel style. The breakfast was the best we’ve had in Morocco to date. We originally booked for one night but stayed for two. So got to enjoy two different rooms.

We had the pleasure of being the very first guests at Cruiser Mogador Hospitality, and it was truly a memorable experience. The hotel is brand new, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. Our apartment was spacious, elegant, and incredibly comfortable — everything was just perfect. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always attentive to our needs. We felt truly cared for from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Essaouira!

Great place to relax, very spacious, comfortable and perfectly equipped villa with everything you could possibly need (we even had an electric orange juicer to make our own juice). Great and clean pool with comfy loungers, bbq area, playground for kids, washing machine and tumble dryer Located just off the road to Agadir but you can hardly hear the traffic and it's not too heavy anyway. 15 mins drive to Essaouira and just 5 mins to a nearby village with shops, cafes and grills. Really good local and authentic Sunday market in Had Draa just 30 minutes away. This was the best place ever in Morocco within this budget. 100% recommend.

This hotel was absolutely amazing. The interior and decor were outstanding. The hotel was in a great location in the medina city centre and 5 mins from the beach. There was a rooftop view of the city and the beach which i loved and spent a lot of time. The staff were so friendly and service was outstanding. The hotel was very beautiful and so clean. The breakfast was delicious and such a great variety. I would definitely come back again and will be a regular customer.

These apartments are completely new. Well furnished, the hosts Said and his family are wonderful people and always took great care of us. We were a big group, we rented almost all their apartments and stayed for a week. The location is outside the city center (the medina), we had a few people stay there as we didnt fit all in these apartments, and here it was much better. The medina hotels all had little light and humidity. The insonorization could be a little better, but I think for Essaouira this was a top stay.
