Advantages: Cheap to fly there Disadvantages: Too many tourists
...AGADIR is one of the main tourist resorts in Morocco, if not the main one. Herds of tourists arrive every day from Europe on charter flights, and most of them do not venture any further than Agadir, spending their day on the beaches. I did not like Agadir myself, since I found it expensive, and lacking character in comparison to other cities in Morocco. We went to visit what is left of the old casbah, out of the town. The walk is worth itself, but, as I said earlier, Agadir should not be on top of your agenda when visiting Morocco, unless you have plenty of time to spend in this country, in which case a visit to Agadir may give you access to a more westernised version of Morocco...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: It is horrible, bland, boring - need I go on?
...Morroco is great but never go to Agadir. Don't believe the holiday brochures which say what a wonderful beach resort it is. It is true it does have a beach, but the whole place has about as much Morrocan flavour as Skegnes.
It does however, boast a sardine canning factory and lots of 'lovely' naff hotels that try desparately to sustain a 'good place to be' image but fail miserably.
Everyone in our hotel (Hotel Kamal) couldn't wait to go home. Steer well clear - you will be bored - and not just of meatballs....

The people were very friendly and although they were keen to gain your custom they new when you were not interested and they then left you alone. This was a breath of fresh air, as you will know if you have ever been to a country where the shop keepers approach you to buy things rather wait for you to enter their shops. The locals are also very trusting with their products also. If you did not have enough money they would trust you to come back with their money. Not a custom that you would find in Great Britain that is for sure. There is loads to do and see, during the day and in the evenings. Agadir is a place that accomodates every one on their holiday from the people who...

**Introduction**
Up-and-coming Agadir is a coastal holiday town which reflects much of the best Morocco has to offer tourists and is also a convenient jumping off place to other locations like the ancient city of Marrakesh or the World Heritage site... more
We visited this hotel in February, 2006 and found it very pleasant. The staff were helpful, the room was large, beds comfy and everything was clean. There was a good choice of food, somewhat restricted for vegetarians (as found in many places!) but much... more
