Stayed at Essaouira Lodge in August 2022 having booked it 2 years prior but postponed due to COVID. At the time of original booking we were impressed by the other reviews all saying how flexible the resort was, especially the shuttle service to and from Essaouira. Unfortunately this was not the experience we had - shuttle spots were limited and timetable was inflexible and we very much felt like times were engineered to keep you at the lodge for meal times, alternative being that you would be stuck in Essaouira for minimum of 4 hours. And that was if the shuttle ran on time which it did not. Local taxis are ”not allowed” to go to the resort so the only alternative are expensive tourist taxis. Food and drinks at Essaouira Lodge was nice but quite expensive, a family of 4 evening meal costing approx 80Euro not including alcohol. The staff were all really nice, but the service was less than ideal - Never enough loungers around the pool for the guests staying at the lodge, and the lodge would also take external guests making the situation worse. Pool towels were also rarely available. At breakfast every day there would not be enough coffee cups, you ALWAYS had to ask for something and as helpful as the staff were to provide what you needed, the next day would be the same situation again. We also had to change accommodation due to stray dogs in the resort waking us up at 6am.... the reception staff were less than helpful and actually became quite rude when we tried to arrange a change of room. Even after we changed rooms there were issues with ant infestations and the amenities not working - we tried to use the oven on 3 evenings to avoid the high restaurant prices but each time had to call for maintenance to come and fix the oven before we could use it. All in all we had a nice holiday, relaxing by the pool when we could secure loungers. But the Essaouira Lodge is not without its issues and despite the friendly staff, no improvements were made one day to the next. I would not recommend Essaouira Lodge and we will not return.
