“Hotel Des Iles' blend of Mauresque and retro styles makes an interesting visual statement near Essaouira's bay. With large event spaces and distinct dining options, it seems geared towards handling sizable gatherings, and the bungalow layout offers a more private experience. In my opinion, the hotel aims to provide a mix of classic hospitality with event-focused amenities.”
