My husband I visited this hotel for our 1st wedding anniversary and it was our first experience of an All Inclusive - and we were definitly not disappointed!!!

I will start with the minor niggles we had but we certainly didn't let it spoil our stay - there was some building work going on which we weren't made aware of prior to arrival but it didn't really affect us - apart from when they decided to start at 8am and we had to tell them to stop hammering and this happened on 2 separate days - tad bit too early!! There was also refurbishment on the beach so if you wanted to take the 5 minute walk across the road to the beach you would have to literally walk through a building site of diggers etc and we also weren't aware of this prior to departure.

Now, on to the more positive things - the hotel itself was truly fantastic, we loved the layout as it was big but there were a few different pools you can sit by (we opted for a pool away from the main one, can't remember what it was called!!). The main pool bar offers daily activities for those who choose to join in i.e Volleyball and there is aerobics at 5pm every day by the pool - how exotic!! There are A La Carte restaurants that you can opt to eat in during your stay and you are given a meal voucher on arrival to redeem against your chosen restaurant which you book each morning. The food is good and you have the option of trying new dishes that you wouldn't necessarily eat if you had to pay for it (i.e not part of an All Inclusive package) and if you don't enjoy it, you can go to the Oasis buffet and fill yourself up!! In the morning you have a huge choice of anything you can possibly think of but the made-to-order Omelettes are absolutely gorgeous!!!

I think we were spoilt in the "All Inclusive package" as you can start drinking from 10.30am (Beer O'Clock according to my husband - you could set your watch by him standing at the bar for his first beer of the day!!) and the local beers and wines were fantastic!! You can also order cocktails at the Balcony bar (if you give the staff a tip at the beginning of the week they are eternally grateful and will look after you like a King/Queen!!). I have heard from other All Inclusives that you are limited to what you can drink (mainly local beers/wines) and they are more like paint stripper than a drink but this is most not certainly true for Occidental!!

The staff are outstanding - so friendly and helpful and they truly made our stay that little bit more special, especially Mohammed in the Balcony Bar who laid out a table for us on the day of our anniversary with chilled champagne, candles etc - such a beautiful touch.

There was a market in the complex on Friday where you can haggle for bargains without feeling too overpowered if you are not used to haggling - and they had a beautiful camel called "chocolate" who had lovely blue eyes - the best looking camel I have ever seen (never thought I would say that!!).

We booked a trip through our tour operator to Marrakech for the day and it certainly awakens your senses!! At the time of writing there are no motorways so the journey was about 4 hours each way but its worth checking out, if only to say you have been there! The main Souk is bussling and you have to bargain hard and be firm as they are masters in their culture of haggling!! If you show any sign of weakness or uncertainty they will pick up on it so be firm but polite and if you can get over the "in your face" approach, you could have some fun and walk away with bargains!! We also took a 1/2 day trip around Agadir where you are taken (amongst other places) to the harbour (beware - the stench of sardines!) and the Kasbah at the top of the hill.

Overall I would most definitly recommend this hotel to anyone!!!

Stayed here with my family last summer, we had a cattle market of a reception when we got there, It was complete chaos it seems that all the coaches arrive here at the same time.
When we arrived at our room we were pleasantly surprised and found it to be in a good location, clean and spacious.
My youngest daughter was sick on the first night after eating her evening meal, and my husband was on the toilet for the duration of the holiday. Also lots of other guests were also unwell while we were there, the ones who seemed o.k. were eating their meals from McDonalds round the pool.
My 10 year old also had a severe ear infection, we wondered how clean the pool was with all the upset tummies.
You also need to be friendly with the pool guy and tip him if you want any chance of a sunbed or be up by 5am.
If the food improved this could be a great holiday village.

I booked this holiday as a last minute deal and hadn't had time to check out any reviews before I booked the hols, I have to say I'm glad I didn't as I probably wouldn't have booked my holiday.

Having now spent two weeks at the Agador, I can quite honestly say it's been one of the best holidays I've had (partly due to the accomodation but also down to the people who stay there). I do need another holiday though just to recover from this one!!

The Agador accomodation is pleasant, clean and well serviced by the maids. The rooms are clean, towels are changed daily Bar and restaurant staff are friendly an only too happy to provide assistance. All the staff like banter and will always stop and chat and they didn't necessarily expect to be tipped. The only person who did keep asking for a tip was my maid.

There are numerous pools in the hotel and I have to say I didn't have a problem getting a sunbed at all. The relax pool (the one I used) is pleasant and slightly quieter than the main pool which has entertainment by it for most of the day.

I tended to eat in the al a carte restaurants and although there were set menus there, the food was always nice and I didn't get ill, unfortunately having eaten in the buffet restaurant on the second week I did suffer from tummy upsets.

It can get a bit cold at night ( actually on some nights it was flipping freezing), so do make sure you pack a jumper as the wind does get up a bit.

There are tons of steps around the hotel and if you want to get fit then this is the one for you! I really wouldn't recommend this for anyone who has difficulty walking (sober or drunk) as there are limited handrails.

There is an animation team at the hotel who work had to entertain the guests and they work really long hours, although they do play hard as well!!! I didn't watch any of the shows they put on so can't really comment on those (although the kiddies disco was the same every night, but the children seemed to like it). The animation men do love to flirt, so girls you have been warned!!

Hi just got back from the Agador, again, this has been the 5th time I have stayed there.
I'm sorry to say this was not a pleasant experience.
The hotel was clean and in many ways just the same. The staff in the restaurants and behind the bars were extremely polite, helpful and friendly as always and some of the animation team were genuinely very friendly.
However, I was very disappointed this time to learn many things that I had previously been unaware of and maybe had not chosen to see.
On many occasions, both myself and other guests were approached for money and asked to get alcoholic drinks from the bar for members of the animation team.
There was generally a sleazy atmosphere both in the hotel and in many clubs and bars.
Prostitution amonst other things is rife in Agadir sadly.
I doubt that I will ever go there again.
It also makes me very sad to see the number of English women whose hearts are broken by some unscrupulous men working in the tourism industry in Agadir. That is not to say that all are the same but it seems almost impossible to tell the genuine from the fake.
I have learned from my own experience that although generally the Moroccan people are lovely, there are a minority whose behaviour is at least disgraceful and this is a terrible shame.
