In a guesthouse you're welcomed rather than simply accommodated. The pool is rarely large, but it's quieter than at a hotel. In Essaouira, the Atlantic wind makes a heated pool almost essential, even in spring. Here are the 2 guesthouses I've selected in Essaouira, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Les Jardins de Silona and Le Clos de la Roussière.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Les Jardins de Silona (Guesthouse), with 9.8/10 (150 reviews · lastminute.com). Next come Le Clos de la Roussière (9.6/10).
Yes at Les Jardins de Silona and Le Clos de la Roussière: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Essaouira gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
