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!

A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

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.
