- "Breakfast was a real treat every single morning, served on the terrace, out of the sun. A sweet and sour touch, starting with a fruit bowl and some fresh orange juice, a coffee that tasted familiar yet different. To end with a traditional Moroccan dish. Apart from the superb food, the presence of the animals was soothing and fun. Feeding the turtles, Moona's mood swings and Cao's happiness, a joy to watch. Yves and Carina are excellent hosts with a big heart and many life stories. Their beautiful garden is well taken care of and offers some cool hangouts. Highly recommended if you want out of the buzz of the sometimes overwhelming Medina, but close enough to drive there if needed."

- "10 out of 10! We loved the authentic hospitality, from the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout our stay. We were blown away by the culinary expertise of their talented chef. Highly recommended!" - "Dont look any further. You shouldn't miss out on this place. After seen 10+ different hotels throughout Marokko we found Riad Yanitri. What a hidden gem!!! Ran by a young couple who only opened this place a month ago. Very friendly & fun people, beautiful styled rooms, eye for detail. The man knows all about cocktails and wines, the lady about styling and good food. They have a fantastic chef and here we enjoyed the best breakfast in Marokko (for example the perfect Berber crêpe and Berber eggs). There are games lying around. We and our 9 weeks old baby were perfectly taken care of. We will certainly come back."

- "Calm and plaisant for couple romantique time" - "This magical spot ✨" - "Very nice and quite. Horse riding definitely the highlight of the trip. The food is amazing, was there three days and still amazed by every meal. be good for relaxing or family/friends reunion." - "The baberrih hotel (meaning ‘door to the wind’) is truly an exceptionally beautiful property about 20 minutes drive from Essaouira. It’s tucked in the middle of a stunning beach, with views of the mountains, and empty fields surrounding. The food is grown organically on their property (with lovely chickens and goats to visit if you wish!). The rooms are each small individual buildings that are laid out nicely with a seating area, private outdoor patio, and a very comfortable bed. The tvs are equipped with streaming services so you can watch whatever you like if you wish, and the WiFi is very solid during the day. There’s a beautiful infinity pool, as well as a very spacious, clean yoga studio with views of the ocean. The best part of the hotel is direct access to Hossain’s absolutely magnificent horses. You can see their beautiful stables built adjacent to the hotel grounds, and see what a charmed life they live. Hossain is an exceptional equestrian who has trained his horses with love and natural horsemanship. He is able to accommodate all levels of riders (I’ve seen small children) as well as creating absolutely fantastic advanced rides for experienced riders. With direct access to an almost completely empty beach, riding Hossain’s beautiful stallions is the perfect cherry on top of a lovely, relaxing vacation."
