    The staff here are the friendliest and smiliest people I’ve ever come across. They really make this riad super special. We’ve loved every minute of staying here and would highly recommend. The food is great the menu du jour is good value. Petanque, the pool. Everything is family friendly too. We want to come back with our daughter and would definitely visit again. We had a massage under the trees and saw their lovely tortoise family. We also fell in love with toothless their black cat. The kid owners let us spend many hours here after check out.

    This property certainly had the WOW factor! With its beautiful Moorish design and wonderful heated swimming pool. We were certainly impressed on arrival. The attractive tropical gardens offered other areas to relax and enjoy the beautiful bird song whilst sipping a cocktail.

    We stayed at the Riad for 7 nights which was long enough to notice things that could easily be improved upon. There was nowhere to leave used pool towels and subsequently towels were left on sun-beds for many hours after they had been vacated. Maybe a basket for used towels or extra vigilance by staff to tidy pool towels and also used glasses that were also left on pool tables for many hours.

    A beautiful riad which felt almost like a private villa. Jeremy, Yousra and all the staff were so lovely and helpful. We had a truly magical stay.

    We loved our stay here so much, it feels like an idyllic paradise - just a short drive from essaouira. The whole team were really friendly and willing to help and make our stay as good as possible. The place is just so beautiful, very stylishly decorated and the gardens are great. We loved playing table tennis, boules, playing with the very cute kittens and we especially loved the pool. We would love to come back here if we return to essaouira.

    The staff were attentive and friendly. The area is very pleasant - near the coast but away from the more populated areas

    The pool and gardens are amazing - and the Riad itself is beautiful. Comfy room and a great set up to have the separate little room for our son to sleep in. The food was great with lots of choice, both Moroccan classics and others - we loved the breakfast too. Nice additions with the games and tortoises (and cats + kittens!) to keep us and little one entertained. Yousra, Jeremy and the whole Riad team are super friendly, welcoming and accommodating - with great suggestions of things to do in Essaouira. Also organised taxi travel for us into the town which made life easy without having a rental car.

    Not much - We'd love to visit again!

    Amazing facilities. Super nice to rest: outside Essaouira but still super accessible: around 15minites by car. The staff was super charming and helpful. Also, amazing “Oeufs Berbere” and bread. :))

    Wonderful stay in Riad Yanitri. Our hosts were super friendly and welcoming. We had 3 kids with us and they engaged with the kids fantastically. Our son Oliver (12) loved the turtles, the table tennis, the boules. All 3 teenagers loved the heated swimming pool where they spent hours every day. The food is fantastic and there is a little bar by the pool. The rooms are beautiful, simple & clean. We met lovely people while staying here.Staff are amazing. I would highly recommend. Aoife

    Yanitri Riad is a home away from home. We immediately felt welcomed and well looked after. The intimacy and warmth of the beautiful Riad makes the perfect combo to enjoy a holiday in such beautiful country. The interiors and amenities are great, staff is lovely, smiley and helpful. Yousra and Jeremy, the owners, are very friendly, always willing to help and to have a chat with everyone. They help us with everything , from car renting, to offering advise for places to visit. Our stay was equally peaceful and fun….We can’t wait to come back! :)

    The facilities where all amazing, with a warm, large and very clean pool, many activities for kids including table tennis, badminton and volley ball. Service was friendly and always available. Rooms were large och light, and kept very clean. The owners were present ensuring we were happy daily, and the athmosphere was overall very warm and welcoming among both staff and guests. The orange juice served for breakfast was freshly squeezed!

    Being Scandinavian, I would have loved something savoury for breakfast, as perhaps a piece of cheese. And some fresh fruit would have added to breakfast, given how much tasty fruit is available in the area. But that is mostly my own preference!

    The photographs do not do justice to this peaceful and spacious riad The staff were extremely friendly, the riad is beautifully decorated with lush gardens and a fabulous pool. We appreciated the pétanque, badminton and table tennis facilities plus free use of pool towels, sunbeds,, etc. The bar was a real bonus with good food and drinks. Only one small thing to dislike (and this really wasn't a problem) but the shower in the room was a bit unreliable. Riad Yanitri was a little pièce of paradise, much appreciated at the end of our Southern Morocco travels.

    Stunningly beautiful. Warm welcome from arrival. All the rooms were well equipped and attractively presented. We had dinner 2 nights. The mechoui was excellent (a first for us!) and both coucous and tagine were very good.

    Nothing to dislike

    The Moroccan breakfast was good and we were grateful when the staff added in a little fruit salad at our request as to be honest that did feel like it was missing. The two main staff were lovely and the heated pool and pool area also very nice. Jeremy and Yousra were very relaxed hosts who visited occasionally and gave us help and tips.

    We felt our room could have been swept at least once during our stay, particularly the bathroom. We know most guests did not stay more than a night/few nights so maybe the cleaners not used to having guests for a whole week. We did not find the “sitting area” in our suite at all comfortable and felt some cushions were needed to make it relaxing - especially as we had to spend quite a bit of time there as the bar area not open for Ramadan. We merely say this as a suggestion as it’s possible the owners had not tried sitting there. At times during the rain it did feel like the bar area began to look rather miserable and we almost wanted to get up and sweep the water away ourselves! We recognise it is Ramadan and staff may not have huge amounts of energy though.
