Riad Marosko Review

Located at the end of a small lane close to the medina's Bab Marrakech, this quiet and intimate riad is the creation of multilingual French couple Rosko and Mari Becquet, who fell under Essaouira's spell during the Gnaoua & World Music Festival in 2000. The house's original Portuguese columns stand in a yellow and white courtyard with a central fountain. The narrow yet spacious rooms are located on multiple levels and are mainly split-level, with a ground-floor lounge and separate bathroom, and two open bedrooms located on steep mezzanines, accommodating up to five people (better for families with teenagers rather than tots). A delightfully cozy salon is furnished with numerous Gnaoua musical instruments and a small library, while throughout the house are paintings, objets d'art, and souvenirs from Rosko's and Mari's North African travels. Breakfast is served from the small kitchen on the rooftop terrace, where guests are encouraged to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the ocean views.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
