The rooms are beautifully decorated and the bed and pillows are very comfortable, the location of the Raid is excellent. The raid has a very nice terrace where you can eat breakfast. Breakfast was very tasty and included omelette as well as the normal breads etc. The Raid is run by a lovely family who were so friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this Raid if you are staying in Essaouira.

Wonderful stay in Riad Yanitri. Our hosts were super friendly and welcoming. We had 3 kids with us and they engaged with the kids fantastically. Our son Oliver (12) loved the turtles, the table tennis, the boules. All 3 teenagers loved the heated swimming pool where they spent hours every day. The food is fantastic and there is a little bar by the pool. The rooms are beautiful, simple & clean. We met lovely people while staying here.Staff are amazing. I would highly recommend. Aoife

Beautiful, very comfort and calm place to stay. You can feel that the owners thought about your experience and carefully selected each single detail in the room and riad. I will remember this place and definitely come back when in Essaouira. Wish the owners best of luck and kind and intelligent guests like they are themselves.

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
