We had decided we might need a break from hectic cities half-way through our trip around Morocco, and chose El Jadida, a old Portuguese port and fort on the coast about an hour south of Casablanca. We stayed at the Riad Soleil D'Orient, which proved to be an excellent choice. It is a real Riad with a delightful courtyard, complete... More

A beautiful riad well located near the Portuguese Gate. The surrounding area is a bit scruffy, but arrival in the Soleil d'Orient reveals a beautiful set of rooms and facilities surrounding a charming courtyard with citrus and other trees. The welcome and hosting of Olivier and his team were first class and the food (all meals) quite outstanding. We had... More

It was a lovely Riad. Good position. Oliver was most helpful. The food was devine. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was the Terrace at the top. Only problem was the curtains were not block out so very light from dawn.

We stayed at this Riad for two nights before flying out of Casablanca. The location of the Riad is excellent, quite close to the Old Town although directly below a mosque so it can be quite noisy at prayer time. We ate at the Riad both nights and the food was lovely - we have never seen such big bowls... More

We spent a night here before flying from Casablanca the next day. Oliver welcomed us warmly, offering mint tea and cake. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and spacious . My children stayed in the room next door and it felt very safe. I recommend having the evening meal , the food is home cooked, delicious and served in a... More

We spent the two last nights of our 8 days' trip through Morocco at Soleil d'Orient in El-Jadida. It's a nice riad in a not particularly nice or attractive town (which perhaps makes it a reason to go and have a look?). Oliver and his team were the most friendly hosts we met on this trip. Shower head broken (can... More

One of the highlights of my recent trip to the seashore town of El Jadida was the Riad Soleil d'Orient! Traveling on my own, and just for the weekend, I wanted to be certain that my accommodations were special--this lovely Riad met and exceeded my expectations. Olivier was gracious and his staff were all personable and attentive. My room was... More

It started with the kind and welcoming words of Olivier and continued with the dedicated staff, the incredible food, the big and nice decorated rooms...we loved to sip on a moroccan tea in the lovely garden situated in the heart of the riad...that is why we decided to leave Ranga, our little chameleon pet , to rest for the future...

Oliver and his staff are your gracious hosts. Soleil d'Orient was the nicest place we stayed in Morocco. I have no idea why Oliver chose to build this Oasis in El Jadida, but I am glad he did. We stopped for a couple of nights prior to our flight out of Casablanca. Our room was fantastic. We dined at the... More
