Agadir Holiday Reviews

We were reasonably impressed by the resort. We were lucky with the weather, very sunny. It is quite touristy down on the front, but not so many English, mainly French it seems. The souk was huge, worth a visit.

Lot of work being done on the promenade. Once finished it will be lovely. Getting around town was easy either to walk or plenty of taxis though you need to establish definite price before your journey. Our only complaint is that you are hassled to death by the local shop keepers and that spoilt any shopping experience we would have liked to do. Plenty to see but you are bombarded.

We were extremely lucky with the weather, some other guests told us that up until the day before it had been much cooler and rainy. But we had low to mid 20s and pure sunshine! The town itself is quite modern, though the souk is interesting if a bit touristy. We recommend the daytrip to Traodant though for something more authentic. The beach was good, a bit windy sometimes but excellent to sit in the sun and read!

we stayed around the hotel and ventured out once in the day during our one week stay..didnt feel really comfortable as you get hastled alot from locals who want ur money for any help they give you.some good excursion where offered through thomsons.We stayed in the hotel to relax and benefit from the all inclusive .

Initially as we didnt know the correct prices we paid too much for taxis and food! On our first night we were charged our transfer fee to our hotel at 220D's- dont let the porters take your bags as they will want a tip and bring a pen as aiport staff are quite moody....However by the second day we realised what we should be paying! Agadirs taxis are small, very old and red- drivers will try their luck to overcharge you but you should only pay 10D's up until 8pm and after that its night rate at 20D's (even this is generous) Rihab was nice- short walk to the beach! Men can be a bit pervy so be aware but overall everyone was friendly and lovely! We went to the souk- there are 2 one is souvenirs and other is clothing! Would recommend the clothing one! Some good bargains to get! Locals will try and charge ridicoulous prices, again just haggle them!! They all do the same thing once you haggle with them they start wafting their hand and grab the product you were haggleing about and throw it in a bag - telling you to take it!! sales tactics dont feel embarassed just tell them you wont pay that price! Numerous times my boyf walked away only for them to call back and reduce the price anyway!!!! Big mistake for us was going to the souk on our first day as we were not aware of what locals were paying compare to tourist prices, spend a few days getting the feel of agadir then go to the souk!! Things we did were camel riding, we were approached by lots of men trying to offer it- dont pay a deposit as they pretend they need it! Just take their card and when you get the best deal call them to book in, we got ours for 90D's each which was much better than their suggested price of 200D's! Went on the little white train for 18D's each which was nice- it allows you to jump off near your hotel!!! Walking up the prommenade was lovely, you can hire deck chairs for 20D's and can have them all day!! When haggleing the locals can often become offended but just walk away!!

Places to eat would be Oceana (Indian) we paid too much for food initially and then we found a place called snack bar gorgeous food at a reasonable price!

Have mcdonalds there and pizza hut too if you want some home comforts also have the english pub!!

Would strongly recommend if you are all inclusive you do spend some time away from your hotel! There is lots to see even if its just walking around!

Locals really are friendly and i would def go back! Dont think you will go there to get lots of bargains as tourists prices work out same as here, infact some things were more!!!!!!

When haggleing straight away half the prices given to you- lots of people get ripped off- they will tell you they wont make profit that way, just tell them to leave it!!

Weather is beautiful- Get some argan oil and some aragn cream for aftersun really works as couldnt tan initially however within couple of hours had tan coming on!

Quite nice resort, the souks were good. It is great for windsurfing, which suits us. Ignore the offers of trips to Marrakech though, it really is miles away!

I wouldn't say there is a tremendous amount to do in Agadir, but you will be entertained for a few days by the souk, the remains of the old kasbah and a few nice villages nearby. You also won't struggle for food, because even if you don't like the delicious tagines or French dishes there is a McDonalds and Pizza Hut. The nice warm weather makes for a lovely relaxing break though, as you can sit on the beach and read etc. At worst, we had a day like a nice spring day in England. At best, it hit 28 degrees!

The resort has little to offer outside the hotel, but as the majority of hotels are all-inclusive, this is not a problem. It is safe to wander about and has a lovely promenade to walk from the hotels into the centre of the resort.

We quite liked Agadir, it wasn't as toristy as we feared. We are windsurfers, and we were able to do this here due to the Atlantic location. A trip to Essouria is a must.

We didnt experience much outside of the hotel as we were all inclusive with our own nightclub, however, the fruit souk (market) is a must!

great for families with kids. pools are safe. beach is clean, just do not make eye contact with the locals trying to sell you stuff on the beach, the prices for jet ski's etc can be knocked down if you argue the cost?

Beach is very good but nothing else worth going for. Animal Park smells really bad. People just look at you all the time. Men feel the need to annoy females including my teenage daughter when she was with me. Food poor overall.McDonalds busy every night - says alot.

Not much to do, if your wanting to go just do a week as it's one of those once you have done it there's not much left to do. There's a few trips to do which are good but again rather expensive for waht you get.

very tourist , loads of new hotels popping up.

go to the other areas to see morrocco

anti atlas mountains is a must

What can I say. An earthquake flattened it in 1960 and it certainly seems they never got around to rebuilding
