Madada Mogador - A boutique riad with ocean views, rooftop terrace, and refined Moroccan cuisine

Madada Mogador, a 4-star boutique riad, occupies a restored Jewish merchant's house on a quiet street just outside Essaouira's medina walls. The seven rooms include two standards without views, three with ocean views, and two suites featuring fireplaces, sitting rooms, and private terraces. Honey-coloured tadelakt walls, rose-hued terracotta floors, and premium bedding define the accommodations. La Table by Madada serves bistro-style fish dishes, such as monkfish tagine in coconut cream and saffron sauce, while breakfast is offered on the beach-facing terrace. The rooftop terrace, set with wicker sofas, provides panoramic views of the bay. A treatment room with 360-degree views and recreational activities like windsurfing and golf are available. The hotel is 20 km from Essaouira Airport, with easy access via Place Orson Welles and nearby taxis. Additional amenities include free Wi-Fi, concierge services, and babysitting.

The staff showed great care when i arrived. they gave advice about places for visits and things to see. the breakfast also adapted to my travel plans on the morning i left. there is a restaurant associated with the hotel. It was excellent.

I found the room needed refurbishment. The hotel had an air of being run-down. i noticed missing tiles in the shower. i also saw rotting window frames. there was no fridge and no tv.
