U have a comprehensive trip analysis of all this if you would like them.

I would say "nice" waterfalls, not "spectacular." Also depends on the time of year and whether there was a lot of rain or not.

Grand taxi is an easy choice. You can rent the entire taxi through your hotel and it will be more pleasant than sharing a grand taxi with you two plus five others. Gets a little chummy.

There should also be a CTM or Supratours from Essaouira to Casablanca. Either of those would be great. Avoid local busses.

Thanks for the posts - does anyone recommend renting a car and driving Marrakesh - Essouira - Ouilidia - Casablanca? How long does it take to get between Essouira and Casablanca as I've heard anywhere from 2-6 hours!

notes on Essa to Cassa as follows

"Leaving Essaouira without replicating the Marrakech route required negotiation by the proprietors as the journey to Casablanca along the coast is over 5 hours and a Grande Taxi was arranged. A fee of 1200 Dirham’s ($200) for 4 persons in a 25 year old 250D Mercedes seemed a risky conveyance but a worthy experience as the driver spoke some English. Four large bags were strapped in the boot, one bag acting as a counter balance and any trepidation by the female passengers evaporated as the competency, comfort and ease of the driver emerged. "

Car rental is very expensive in Morocco. It is probably the best way since you are in complete control of your schedule. If you can afford the price, just book a car online and pick it up when you get there.
