...was accepted with open arms. A tip for flights, try to ask for a seat away from the wings, there is noticably less room - I'm only 5.7, but I found it a bit of a crush - It was agreed next holiday that we would pay the extra £15 for extra leg room. Anyway the flight went well, the staff were friendly if a little unorganised. Once landed in Agadir airport, were ferried into the Arrivals lounge, where we queued to get stamped in.
Our Panorama rep was there to greet us, a very helpful man named Hassan, who reminded me slightly of the policeman of "Allo Allo".
We were given a porter to take our bags to the bus, where we were promptly told by himself to give him english money - the tone of things to come.

...**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 at Essaouira, with its charming and fascinating Portuguese remains.
Last in a row of premium hotels, the striking 5-star Sofitel Agadir on Baie des Palmiers is a large, purpose built property which was designed to impress and does.
Agadir has a royal palace nearby, HM the King having chosen to be nearby when he is visiting: But the Sofitel Agadir has the direct beachfront access!
This is stylised Arabic/North African architecture (it looks from the outside like a cross between an ancient Egyptian temple, a desert fort and a fortified town) but it is a mix that works...

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
