    2 Stars Aga- don't don't don't! Agadir. Morocco 18/02/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Hot, lovely beaches, good trips out of the city.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A clone of any other seaside resort. Predatory men.

    Why Agadir? Agadir is a city on the Atlantic in The South West of Morocco. I stayed there for a week a while ago and had a very unusual time there. I had been overworking and decided I needed a week's rest. Agadir ticked the boxes, warm, cheap, somewhere I'd never been before, it sounded interesting. I booked it late off the teletext and off I went! My travel agents in their wisdom, elected to put me in a seedy little hotel about a mile from the beach. I was a single female, non Arabic speaking and the only holidaymaker in there. The rest of the clientele seemed to be Moroccan business men ... more

    5 Stars A holiday resort built on a great human tragedy Review with images 09/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A different type of holiday destintation

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    AGADIR MOROCCO I had a really good fortnight's holiday in Agadir, a city on the Atlantic in the South West of Morocco. I have heard a lot of bad reviews about Agadir, but I really believe that it all depends on the individual's impression and what they make of their time there. Let me try and give you a bit of information about it and my review of our two weeks there. AGADIR ITSELF The city of Agadir itself is primarily a tourist resort that is popular with European travellers. But do not dismiss it merely as a beach holiday; the atmosphere of the city is completely different from any other ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good centre for other outings

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Totally lacking in character

    With my wife being a teacher, and myself being involved on the periphery of education, we tend to be ‘stuck’ with school holidays, despite having no children to take with us. Before you ask, no, we don’t want to borrow yours! One thing we DO try to do though, is go on holiday more than once a year. The crop so far this year has been 5 days in NY at New Year, and a few days in Bilbao at half-term. Now we’ve been to Morocco for a week. Here’s what it was like. Firstly, we’ve never been there before, and to my shame, I had to look up Agadir on the map* – I knew where Morocco was, but it has an ... more

    1 Star Agadir - Avoid 25/09/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages It was warmer than England

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I prefer to be cold

    I have just returned for a week in Agadir and I am compelled to share by experience, where shall I start? I booked it last minute and new hotels where being built, I can deal with the noise. I dont moan about accomdation because if its clean and has a shower Im happy. (it was clean and had sort of a shower) Well, in no particular order here are the good points: The operation of the airport is very efficient Now to the bad points, in no particular order: The most dishonest people I have ever come across, let me give you some examples: 1) The number of beach salesmen selling tat, approaching you ... more

    3 Stars Essaouira far more enjoyable than Agadir. 22/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap and Sunny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Harasment and over charging so very comming.

    My friend and I chose to go to Morocco as it was cheap and we were poor students in need of some sun! I have to admit that we did not really do our research about where we were going, if we had I think that I would have thought twice, although this story does have a happy ending! We started in Agadir, the hotel was okay, we had a clean and fair sized rooms overlooking the pool. I had been to Tunisia about 3 years before I had expected Morocco to be similar. So we went to find something to eat which was disappointingly in more than one way. There was no real town centre that we could find and ... more

    4 Stars Agadir 16/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great markets and food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Harrassment from locals depending on time of year you go

    I think Morocco is an acquired taste. I went to Agadir with my mum for a 2 week break (leaving from Glasgow) during the month of December. I chose to go then because I knew it would be a bit quieter. It was my second visit to Morocco, the first having been to the north in the early 80s with my identical twin sister. As my twin and I are both red heads that caused quite a stir among the locals who would constantly ask us if we'd dyed our hair with Henna (and why we were so white!!!). I had a bad experience on my first day down at the beach in Agadir with my mum when a really rude carpet seller ... more

    5 Stars Agadir AgaDO 13/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages beautiful,different,friendly,easy to get around.cheap.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the water,always buy bottled and use it even for cleaning your teeth

    For the traveller that likes to experience sun,snady beaches and a different culture like myself then Agadir should be on your must visit list. I visited in October half-term week {yes more expensive because the flight operator added a £100 supplement to the flight cost,disgraceful,but as i work in a school my holidays have to be outside term time}. I was to stay in the all inclusive hotel Agador,part of the Caribbean Village which also shares it's grounds with two other hotels. The complex boasted three swimming pools,several choices of restuarants and what they called the animation team. The ... more

    Advantages Advantages see text

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see text

    Having just rambled on elsewhere about the benefits of getting cheap deals, it would be remiss of me not to alert you to the dark, hidden side. There is a human cost involved, and every year thousands of holiday makers put price before enjoyment and have to endure a year of glancing jealously at their co-workers, tanned, happy and full of tales of fun from their hols whereas all they have is regret. This is the world of the inappropriate resort and below I take a quick look at one of them, the notorious town of Agadir in Morocco. Given that we visited some ten years ago, the following ... more

    4 Stars Agadir - July 2005 / Tagadirt Hotel 17/07/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Friendly people, great weather, nice cheap food.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    My partner & I have recently arrived back from 1 week in Agadir. Admittedly we didn't take up any of the trips to Marakesh or anywhere else as being on a one week stay we were after rest and relaxation and spending days marching around towns was not on our agenda. However, we would love to return and would consider the trips as they all seem pretty well planned (the only hint we picked up about the trips, the 1 day trip to Marakesh is a very long day - leaving resort around 6amish and returning 1amish) For the week, we ate fantastically and particularly recommend Fouqets and Taco Loco in ... more

    1 Star Aga-dire 11/08/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages 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. ... more
