The newly renovated hotel feels clean and airy. The outdoor pool is great for relaxing, and there’s a separate pool for kids too.
I tried the indoor pool one evening, and with it almost empty, it was a wonderfully peaceful way to spend a couple of hours. The 24-hour all-inclusive service meant we could grab food or a drink whenever we wanted, even late at night.
There are a few dining options, the main restaurant which offers a buffet overlooking the sea, a Moroccan restaurant, a fusion restaurant and a lovely little Italian. We loved the variety and felt spoilt for choice.
The spa and wellness centre offers a good range of treatments, great for a bit of “me time”. The hotel’s vibe is laid-back but still polished and it worked really well as a base for exploring Agadir and the coast.

Air conditioning and a mini fridge definitely helped on those warm afternoons. Wi-Fi worked everywhere, so uploading travel photos and keeping up to date was a hassle free.
There are four outdoor pools, so you can pick between a lively spot or something quieter. On windier days, I used the indoor pool instead. The big children’s pool area meant that the kids were happy and it kept the atmosphere in other areas calm.
Dining options surprised me in a good way. I tried both the main buffet and themed restaurants, and didn’t get bored.
The spa looked inviting but I didn’t test it out here. The tennis courts and regular shows added a bit of variety, so we rarely ran out of things to do.

Accommodation In Agadir – Factors To Consider
Picking where to stay in Agadir really shapes your holiday. I always look at the area’s layout, how easy it is to get around, and whether I’ll feel comfortable and safe.
Location and Accessibility
Location tops my list every time. Being close to the beach promenade or main sights like the Agadir Marina saves time and cuts down on taxi fares.
Some neighbourhoods, like the beachfront or city centre, allow you to walk to cafés, markets, and the sea. That’s a huge plus.
Taxis and buses are everywhere, but I prefer spots with easy access to public transport and good roads if I’m renting a car. Being near grocery stores, ATMs, and pharmacies is another thing I check for.
If I’m after relaxation, I’ll pick a seaside resort with private beach access. Striking a balance between convenience and atmosphere makes all the difference.
