The breakfasts were lovely. I enjoyed the terrace. My room was perfect. I was especially grateful to be on the sea. My friends stayed at a Riad deeper in the Medina and they struggled every night with smoke from burning trash. So I felt so happy to have the cool seabreeze. The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

It was the best place we have ever stayed. Not only the riad itself, the interior, the food, but the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, they always had an eye on every detail, and was very helpful. It worth to stay for dinner in the riad too, amazing flavours! The location is perfect, just in the middle of the medina, but in a quiet corner. The room is spacious, and always made clean. The bed is so comfortable. One small thing that was a bit bothering is the wifi, which was not stable at all, came and went in waves, but it is just a small technical issue.

We absolutely loved Dar Dayana - great interior, comfortable (our room - turquoise, even had a nice seating area outside!) and really nice bathroom. We liked combination of traditional Moroccan style with some funky artwork. It is such a peaceful and relaxed accommodation with great breakfast. We stayed in February when a lot of roads gets cold, but here it was nice and warm. Definitely the place to stay in lovely Essaouira. Friendly and very helpful owners (we forgot something there and they are helping us to get things shipped). Thanks for everything!
