“Dar Ness places you squarely in Essaouira's vibrant medina, a traditional riad offering an authentic taste of Morocco. It seems a haven of tranquility once inside, offering a full-service spa and a rooftop terrace with sea views. I think it's a smart alternative to the larger chain hotels near the beach.”
