Our stay has been very nice and comfortable and the RIAD is really higly qualified and it' s the best that we found in Maroc.
The service and the staff has been especially kind, with discretion and not noisy; and what to say about the "cuisine"! Fantastic.
The environment is the best for relax and it' s very good to spend time also staying in the Riad, enjoying the swimming pool and the quiet.
Good position not too far from the beach and for recreation (horse riding, tennis, massages, hammam and other).

No question the best place to stay in Agadir for romantic getaway. Service far better than any five star hotel in town. The location is remote as has been noted, but not impossible to get to. The best would be if you had your own car. Its only a 10 minute drive into the center of town. The setting is beautiful in a eucalyptus forest and the riad itself is a treasure. The rooms are large and intimate at the same time. Food delicious and service outstanding. Huge king size bed, large soaking tub, private garden or balcony. Welcome with a fruit basket and Moroccan pastries, delicious homemade breakfast, lunch served by the pool. It really doesn't get better than this for just relaxing. If you stay here you will feel so sorry for all the people at the huge package hotels when you get to retreat to your own private palace.

I have just returned from a glorious week at Riad des Golfs and am very surprised to read some of the negative reviews.
It is a beautiful, discrete, quiet and perfectly formed riad with charming service and excellent food well away from the concrete blocks of Agadir.
I have stayed many times in Morocoo, including at the Villa des Orangers, Dar Ayniwen, La Maison Arabe, Les Deux Tours, Mamounia and Tigmi in Marrakech, Villa Maroc in Essaouira, and Kasbah de Toubkal in the Atlas, and Riad des Golfs, despite the uninspiring name (it is a 10 minute walk from two golf courses), is up there with all of them.
The public rooms are beautiful - classic Moroccan style without being cliched; the bedrooms are large and comfortable with great bathrooms; the pool and gardens, though small, were perfectly formed.
But what sets Riad des Golfs apart is the quality of personal service - from the owner Paule and, most impressive, from the local staff, particularly Mustafa - and the quality of the food, beautifully prepared and presented by the chef Fatima with alternating French and Moroccan cuisine. A sample menu: scallops and endives in a cream sauce, red mullet with sauce vierge, beef fillet with rosti, tea granita with glazed rose petals.
In comparison, we drove the 80km one evening to Taroudant to eat at the Gazelle d'Or, where for more than twice the price, we ate a much less impressive dinner in an old-fashioned and fading dining room with impersonal service that lacked any semblance of charm. We also ate out at La Madrague and had a frankly poor meal with poor service.
If you want to stay in an impersonal hotel with a fully stocked mini-bar, 24 hour room service and wifi, great, don't come here and stay in one of the monster hotels in Agadir. If you are looking for a few days of peace and quiet at the end of a stay in Morocco - don't stay at the beginning of your break as you will be disappointed by everywhere else - then I can highly recommend Riad des Golfs.
On the other hand, it is almost too intimate to stay here with young children, and, I would recommend staying here away from high season - it could be too busy when full.

My husband and I stayed at the Riad des Golfs late September 09. The surrounding area is a bit of a wilderness and the riad is some way from Agadir centre - you will need transport or pay out for taxis. Paule and Bernard will help you source a hire car.

There are no restaurants in the area, so meals would need to be taken at the riad or drive/taxi into Agadir. Meals at the riad must be confirmed in the morning as Fatima (chef) cooks for the number who are booked. You won't be disappointed if you do eat at the riad - we stayed for our second and last night, with a different theme each time. Our last night was French and was a fabulous 4 course meal. The attention to detail, the table settings and the tasteful decor all adds to a wonderful experience.

When we arrived late in the evening, we were a little concerned about the area, but when the gates opened into the courtyard we were amazed at the oasis at the other side of the gates. Once you walk through the courtyard garden you arrive at the entrance to the house a combination of a French chateau with a very Moroccan feel. The lofty ceiling with silk drapes, French furniture with touches of Moroccan furnishings are so tasteful. This room leads to the garden and swimming pool, which is serene and very pretty.

Our room, (all the suites are the same) was amazing and very grand and equally as tastefully decorated as the main house, with open bathroom area, separate loo and sitting room area, with sofa bed for additional guests. There is a balcony, quite large, but no view and curtains screen it, which makes it feel claustrophic. It doesn't get much sun and with only one sunbed, wasn't somewhere either my husband and I felt worth spending time in. Although the balcony is a bit of a negative, it wasn't an issue as there is plenty of room to sit and relax around the pool.

One small negative and this may be because we couldn't work out the contols, but there was no satellite tv - just a few French channels, which meant we couldn't catch up with BBC world news - but a small gripe.

Breakfasts were relaxed, continental, pastries and eggs cooked to your choice.

If you ask for pre dinner drinks be prepared for an array of olives and selection of nuts to tempt you before dinner - very nice, but not so good if you are on a diet!!! Mustafa ,our waiter was helpful, polite and very attentive.

This is a great place if you want to relax, play golf , two courses a short distance away, but if you want to get out and about transport is essential.

Paule and Bernard are very welcoming, although we didn't speak much to Bernard, I'm not sure if he speaks much English, but Paule speaks perfect English, which was most appreciated as our French is a little to be desired.

It is quite expensive compared to the large hotels, but the tranquility and the beautiful decor more than compensate.
