Dar OMNIA

Imposing property. Beautiful in a great location: outside of town but only a 15 - 20 minute drive away. 10 minutes from the Essaouira Fromagerie, which is definitely worth a visit. There is also vineyard you can visit but this was closed for lack of customers during our stay. Dar Omnia is run by a group of very friendly young people who are happy to chat to guests, are helpful with suggestions for activities locally and all seem able to cook! The food available was always delicious and prepared with care and attention to detail. There is a fireplace in the big lounge area and a fire was lit on our first night there which is always welcome. There is a lovely pool behind the property if you can brave the cool water (I did) and plenty of quiet areas. Beds very comfortable. Rooms and bathrooms spacious. We had a dressing too. We had a lovely peaceful stay. The place was not too busy and that was what I was looking for. Thank you all. The group could find themselves very busy in the near future with the production of another 'Troy' film starting just down the road on the beach about an hours hike away. The hotel would also be great for yoga retreats or Company events although there are not many bedrooms available.

The owners say that the property is not finished but what house is ever finished?! There are small things that could be done though, like lightbulbs replaced on the stairs up to the roof terrace and apparent wiring and bits of metal there to be fixed to have access to another lovely area! The pool was a bit sandy/dusty so could have done with a bit of a clean, though Essaouira is a windy, Sandy place - meaning cleaning is definitely needed a bit more often. There was a team of cleaners for the rooms etc though so no problem there. I'd say the group, who are obviously living very happily in their home, could be a bit more commercial to have greater financial success if they were interested in that. Our first evening I couldn't find anyone downstairs to order food or drinks from or to talk to! It didn't really matter but was surprising and a little disappointing. On the 2nd evening there were more people around so that was good. I guess it's a different culture and way of life though. Still someone on reception duty is often useful! I made sure to ask who would be around day 2 and we had a lovely late dinner and then someone was up at 6am to make sure our taxi arrived and we got off safely the next morning so that was lovely! It's definitely a different pace of life which is good after the busy town and Media. Slow-cooking is promoted for example. I asked about shampoo and shower-gel the first day but to no avail. There was plenty of soap in the bathrooms but the site shouldn't state 'free toiletries' if that's not the case. Take your own shampoo or let your hair recover for a few days (as I did!). We had a great experience in an amazing Country with a different culture but parts very similar to our own. Thankyou again.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of nowhere. Nice and helpful stuff.

hotel seems a little bit neglected (some holes in the walls, rusty shower, mattress in the middle of the stairs), but I would still recommend it.

The whole experience was exceptional. Honestly this is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed in. It was incredible. The staff were fantastic. Our room was amazing. The food was out of this world. The whole place is relaxed. The pool was unbelievable. The whole vibe is relaxation. Anwar and Charif were so accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. We had the best stay ever. This is truly the “The House of Wishes” and we wish you all the very best with your enterprise.

Nothing. It was incredible.

everything was perfect, the Sun suite bed is really comfortable and the bath is great deal to relax and shower also the breakfast was good the dar omnia team is super friendly i would sure be happy to comeback again :)
