“Highly recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Iberostar for three nights. We arrived in our own vehicle and found the hotel very easily. There was ample parking right outside of the hotel. It is located on the seafront about a mile and a half, or 30dh in a taxi, to the start of the restaurants and cafes. The rooms are well furnished and clean, standard for this chain of hotels. The reception staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis through sunshine.com, and got a very cheap rate. Breakfast was a buffet style, with an incredible amount of choice, which was lovely.
I would recommend the restaurants 'Nil Bleu' or 'Venodome' on 'the strip'. They provide good food and alcohol, excellent service, entertainment and good value.
There is free wifi in the reception area of the hotel.

Room Tip: The alcohol in the hotel is very expensive

Stayed at this hotel from the 4thfeb for a week on all inculsive and would recommend this as the drinks are very expensive you would only need 2 or 3 a day to be better of then half board.
I could fault this hotel as everything was as good as i expected the food was freshly cooked and you can even have a bottle of wine with your lunch or dinner with a choice of red,white and rosie which was my favourite.All in all for what we paid i would i would recommend this hotel to any one . One little tip take a cardigan or jumper as it is quite cool up till about 10.30 in the morning and also in evening.

“Iberostar Founty Beach Hotel Agadir, February 2012”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We stayed in a junior suite at this hotel on a half-board basis between 31 January and 7 February 2012.

The location of the hotel is excellent, about a kilometre south of the main town and towards the end of the strip of hotels fronting the ocean. A 20 minute stroll along the promenade or the excellent beach will take you to the main area of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. If you wish to visit the main souk, El Had, the price is only 20 dirhams by taxi.

Our room (2125) was large, airy, clean and in good condition and everything including the air con/heating and the fridge worked very well. Similarly the hotel throughout was well looked after and clean.

We were given exactly what we booked, with a good view of the pool area, gardens and the ocean from our balcony. All public areas, including toilets, reception, terrace and restaurant were always clean and tidy and the grounds were very well tended.

The food was very good for mass buffet style, with lots of variety and choice, with some dishes cooked on the spot – check out the breakfast beignets (doughnuts) with cinnamon and vanilla sugar! The staff were generally helpful, efficient and pleasant though it could take a bit of time to get a drink on the terrace during the evenings.

Good basic French would go a long way – like much of the area, the hotel caters mostly for French and German speaking guests. Having said this, the reception staff spoke English well enough and most other staff had some basic English, so we were able to get by.

Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised at the standards on offer and felt very safe and comfortable during our stay, both in the hotel and outside. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel based on our (out of season) visit. The hotel caters well for families with young children, the elderly and disabled, and couples like us, neither young nor yet so old.

A few niggles:
We arrived around 3:00pm after lunch was finished and well before dinner at 6:30, and no refreshments were offered on our arrival. We found that light snacks and drinks were available from the pool bar, but as we were half board, these were chargeable. It took a while to work out what was not available to half board guests, particularly in relation to drinks, and most of the staff appeared not to know either (they tended to assume we were on all inclusive rates). We could have upgraded to all inclusive at the hotel for 150 dirhams per person per day, if we wished – had we booked all inclusive with the travel agent it would have been a lot cheaper. Worth bearing in mind if you intend staying in the hotel for all meals and especially refreshments.

TV reception was very poor, and we found only 1 English speaking channel (movies subtitled in Arabic). However, there is excellent 24 hour wifi reception in the lobby and terrace area.

There were no facilities in the room to make a hot drink – so if this is important to you take a travel kettle.

There is no ATM in the hotel, but there is one in the next hotel, Palais du Rose, a very short walk away. However, foreign exchange is available.

Finally, we noticed that our favourite tipple was not the genuine article, bit of a cheek for 70 dirhams!

Room Tip: Ask for pool/ocean view rooms. Junior suite is worth the extra cost

“Generally very good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This is a good, cheap hotel. The food was freshly cooked too. The pool was clean and the staff did a good job of keeping the rooms clean too. Our key card became a constant problem however - it randomly would not work at least 3 times most days which meant constantly having to go back to reception for them to reset - only for it not to work again. They were apologetic but only after I made a fuss.

The location is not great unless you do not plan to leave the hotel. The main shops, bars and restaurants are at least 1/2 hour walk away which is fine if you like walking (like we do) or plan to take taxis (which are pretty cheap). But if you just want to pop out, then it's not handy. The beach is right on the doorstep though which is great for watching the sunset and paddling in the surf.

Agadir is a great destination for those looking for a cheap sunny holiday. It is not typically Morrocan though - finding anything authentic was difficult. The people are very friendly although you are constantly hassled by people trying to sell you things. It can get very tiring.
If you want a holiday by the pool, then this is the place for you. But if you want a Morrocan adventure or a hassle free holiday then go somewhere else!
