Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Riad Rafeef! The Riad is even more beautiful than in the photos, and we particularly enjoyed spending time on the terrace. Khadija and the staff were so friendly, kind and helpful, and all worked incredibly hard to make sure every guest's stay was just right. We loved the delicious breakfasts and dinner, and enjoyed some pampering spa treatments. We would highly recommend staying here; the location was perfect to enjoy Essaouira, the rooms were comfortable, clean and intricately decorated. We hope to visit again soon!
