My sons and I stayed here for one night near the end of a three week self-drive through Morocco. We wished we had skipped El Jadida and spent an extra night in Essaouira. The Portuguese medina was nice for a quick walk around and the Cistern was beautiful, but it could have been visited as a one hour stop on the drive. We were there on a Friday so the shops inside the medina were closed. There was nothing wrong with the Riad other than the smoking allowed inside the enclosed courtyard, but nothing exceptional about it either.
