Guest reviews for Hotel L'Initiale
"The location that is near to the beach and lagoon."
"The electric fan in room #5 did not swing properly. The direction is going to the wall instead of the entire bed."
"Location is gold ! The staff is super friendly and helped me prepare my wife's birthday surprise ! The value of the price is very very good !"
"If you have noisy neighbors in the other rooms, you will kind of get annoyed. The street's window's sheets didn't cover the sunlight in the morning, so that was annoying."
"Great staff. Fun night at restaurant with very good mussels and lobster. Watched Championship league soccer with other locals on big screen TV. Excellent location to lagoon. So glad we stayed here on a stopover from Essasouria."

"We loved this place! Fantastic location right on the beach. The food at the restaurant was great and we enjoyed the live music. Not sure if it was because of peak season or not, but the singer downstairs at the restaurant connected to the hotel would sing until after midnight and it was hard to sleep on only some of the nights. The rooms were very comfortable. Great bed, airconditioning, wifi and shower. The breakfasts were delicious (boiled egg, bread selection, cheese, nuts and dates. The staff were PHENOMENAL. We had an issue with our room door and they had a handyman come and fix it within 30 minutes. They also sent our headphones to us in a. Different city when we accidentally left them behind. We were so grateful! Highly recommend."

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect, it's very close to the beach and lagoon. The hotel itself is a nice cosy size, with a friendly vibe. The food was a real highlight, especially the oysters, which were some of the best I’ve had. The whole place has a great atmosphere. And the live music at night really brings it to life. It’s good quality, and adds a lot to the overall experience. The staff were really helpful."
"If you’re a light sleeper, just know that the music can go late into the evening. But the musicians were fantastic. So if you enjoy live music, it’s actually one of the best parts of the stay."
"It’s position. Close to the sea and the lagoon. Beautiful!! And the cats!"
"Just above a busy parking with youths on motorcycles, noisy people until late."
"We stayed during Ramadan and it was a little restrictive but it was as expected. Very few places were open. We stayed in room 5 and it is the only room that has a view of the sea and boats. Book room 5. We were allowed wine with our dinner but not beer. We didn't understand the difference. It was a nice stroll to the Hotel L'Hippocampe and they were happy serving beer or wine even in the afternoons. This place has a fantastic setting and views of the lagoon."

"This stay in the Ziz valley felt extremely authentic and was a perfect way to end our time in this area of Morocco. Great location to stay for flights in and out of Errichidia. Hami and his family were excellent hosts and we loved our time talking, having tea, and enjoying the best tangine we had in Morocco!"

Everything was clean, well organized, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Mr. Mubarak and his team were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. They really made sure we had a great stay."
