Hotel Tikida Beach Golf & Thalasso, Agadir

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.... Read review

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.

As an all inclusive resort we had all meals and drinks built in to the cost of the holiday, and there was unobtrusive entertainment all day long. The resorts four pools were immaculately clean at all times, and we all felt we were well looked after. This was probably just as well, because Agadir itself left a lot to be desired. The only visit to the beach found us swamped with Moroccans offering everything from drinking water to Henna tatoos. My friend and I spent the vast majority of the time in the hotel complex, partly because of the friendly, but persistant pestering that we encountered the second we set foot out of the hotel. Before you know it you can be dragged into a shop and asked to bargin for something, regardless of the fact you may not want it. I... Read review
