This is another of the wonderful Sofitels in Morocco. Situated furthest away from the city center, but facing a fantastic beach front. It a brisk 45 minutes walk alon the corniche to the Agadir Marina. We enjoyed the evening walk along the long row of first class hotels and restaurants. Agadir is a very modern city and is more like modern tourist towns in southern Spain than the traditional Moroccan city, like Marrakech which is only an hour and a half away from Agadir on the new, efficient motorway.
The hotel has all the facilities and the swimming pool and garden are well designed. We had asked for a room with balcony which was very pleasant. The minibar was warm when we arrived, but that was fixed immediately. The bed and pillows made for a peaceful night.
The breakfast buffet was plentiful, but the egg stand could only fry. No poached eggs.
Only small point is that the otherwise very attractive design with wide open spaces and open hallways lead to difficulties with heating in the winter and cooling in the summer.
Next door the brand new Sofitel Thalasso will open in a month. Will have to check that out next time in Agadir.
