Jean is a true host, full of excellent recommendations on places to visit, eat, and generally be entertained. Beautifully appointed generous rooms great bathrooms, all very traditionally Moroccan. The roof terrace for breakfast is a great way to start the day, orange juice as fresh as it can be, moroccan pancakes, homemade breads, jams, omlettes....Next time must try dinner in... More

Our stay at Watier was truly unforgettable and we have since discussed on a number of ocassions how unusually genuine the staff were. Jean-Gabriel: one of the most relaxed and accommodating owners I have had the pleasure of meeting. All of the staff: always friendly, genuinely caring and a breath of fresh air. The Riad itself is incredibly stylish with... More

We spent a couple of days at the end of our first trip to Morocco, and our only regret was that we did not have at least another day or two to stay at Ryad Watier. The hotel was ideal for our family - traveling with our teenage son who delighted in having his own loft spot in the Lakhdar... More

Me and my mom spent three nights in this beautiful hotel. The design of the place is very nice, it has an inner patio and a wonderful terrace with a sea view. The staff was very good.

We booked this very last minute and it was a wonderful place to stay. The riad was beautiful, the room was a gorgeous 2-story place and the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Breakfasts offered on the roof... More

This was our first visit to Essaouira. This riad ticked all the right boxes for us. It had a lovely traditional feel to it and all the rooms were large with wonderful toiletries. There was the added luxury of a fire in the room for the cold nights - needed in January. The riad is situated in the heart of... More

Whenever possible I choose a Riad with the owner in residence. Jean Gabriel lives on the top floor and is always available for advice, or just an enjoyable chat. His team were also delightful, Samir and Hyat in particular but also the receptionist. My room - Cornut- was ideal for a longer stay of 9 nights, spacious, warm -radiator and... More
