Rooms are beautiful - we particularly liked the shower/bath. Breakfast was generous and set us up for the day well and we liked that you could have it at any time including for our early start on our last day. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. The roof terrace was also a lovely place to hang out with the sound of the sea behind and mainly protected from the wind.
There was a fair amount of noise on our first night which was unfortunate as we were very tired from an early start and this did not set us up well for the start of our holiday. I think this was from a noisy set of guests above us who were up late playing music etc but who checked out the next day. Other guests were not noisy. It may be useful to make 10pm to 8am a quiet time.

Youssef, the Riad Manager was very helpful as soon as we arrived and continued throughout our stay. He was very courteous and gave us suggestions for where to visit when in town. The daily breakfast is also fresh offering different options with plenty of food.
The jacuzzi on the roof is pretty old and it shows its age. It should be cleaned more frequently and if possible the tempurature brought above 35 degrees. As the main amenity for the Riad, it's important this be maintained better for the guests' experience.

The room and bathroom were very nicely done, felt like a 5* hotel. The bathroom floor heating was amazing, and it felt like our own personal hammam/spa. Staff and breakfast were great. Location was nice and quiet. Beautiful facilities.
The shower easily spilled over the the steps of the bathroom, and the staff started moving our stuff and cleaning for the next guests before we checked out. Makes me wonder if the new guests will have fresh bedding after we needed to use them again upon our return. It was a bit unprofessional and left a bad taste in my mouth.

After booking the accomodation, the manager offered to pick us up from the bus station or one of the gates to the Medina. However we were not sure of our arrival time so we did not request for this service. We did get a bit lost and couldn't find the Riad at first but the staff were very friendly and came to find us. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The freshly cooked breakfast was delicious. We went earlier than the designated time but the staff were very friendly and agreed to serve breakfast early to us.
The Riad is a little difficult to find in the beginning but the staff are very helpful.

Youssef and all the staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The room and property were lovely. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast out on the terrace! The underfloor heating in the bathrooms was a nice touch 👌

Stylish boutique riad, clean, excellent customer service from all staff. Big generous rooms, plentiful breakfast, lovely toiletries etc. Perfect location, calm oasis.
Everything great, no significant complaints at all, will happily return and recommend to friends!! But minor niggles might be that some maintenance aspects need updating now, ie bathroom fan not working , grouting needs refresh and dressing gowns frayed , but the comfort and generosity of amenities and staff far outweigh these minor niggles.

Layout was great, large lounge outside of our large bedroom which had a small balcony and very nice tub. We were allowed to have breakfast where we wanted, the lounge or bedroom or in several different areas in the Road. Apart from the arrival, very helpful and friendly staff.
I think the arrival arrangements could be better organised and perhaps a warning given the fact that there will be unsavoury types trying to confuse you when trying to park your car. We were told that ‘our man’ will meet you but it was actually a man off the street with a case carrier and we had to pay him ourselves, although it was a small charge.

Dar Maya is a comfy, quiet, pleasant residence tucked away at the end of the Essaouira medina. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom quite big with a large shower. The house has a roof-top terrace where you can relax in the sun and meditate while gazing over the roofs. Breakfast was tasty and is served until late. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient, and available 24/7. The shops and restaurants of the city are on your doorstep, everything is easy and accessible. The beach is ten minutes walk away.
The property has no access or view on the sea; it is close to the city walls and you can hear the waves and seagulls, but that is it. The room was mentioned as having a patio, in fact a very narrow balcony, with just one chair, and a view of the courtyard (where you can have breakfast). Sound insulation if not fantastic, the doors are pretty thin. And finally, the house is owned by foreigners, which is not mentioned on the website and was disappointing since we wanted to support local ownership.

Quiet, boutique riad with only about 5 or 6 rooms total. Beautiful rooftop terrace with a hot tub. But beyond all, the service at this place is incredible. Yousef and his team worked hard behind the scenes to help us have a carefree time. They helped us coordinate laundry, arranged transportation from the Marrakech airport, and even transportation to a riad in Marrakech. The breakfast was great too. My wife and I couldn’t have had a more pleasant time.

The suite was amazing for what it is worth. Everything was super clean and the staff made sure to help us every step of the way from offering to collect us beforehand through a message next to other valuable informations. They also offered us to chose any space for our breakfast including our own suite and were very much available at any time. The overall olfactory experience was exquisite and the toiletries did not disappoint. Breakfast experience was also great and the food/drinks were made fresh every morning which made the experience very enjoyable. The highlight of the entire experience is definitely the Hammam as it was so relaxing and very spacious including a personal bath. Would definitely comeback!
Nothing, it was an exceptional stay.
