“A morrocan dream”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Reading the reviews is one thing but experiencing the resort is another, when we arrived in Agadir, we felt abit vunerable, people were trying to take our luggage to get a tip and the passport control wasnt very welcoming because you have to fill out a form when you arrive and depart to justify your intentions for visiting etc. However the holiday reps were to hand and made you feel welcome. When the coach pulled up outside the hotel, i immediatly smiled, it looked like a palace and we were welcomed with cocktails and snacks whilst we were checking in-then helped ourselves to lunch whilst gazing out an the maticulous gardens and pool which led onto a perfect sandy beach. The weather was fantastic, not a cloud in the sky. weather was around 20-25 degress and the sun rise from 7 till 6 at night. Again it was abit windy at times so a cardy was needed but nevertheless cant complain coming from snowy London. The staff, Wow they were helpful, friendly, funny, charming, they were interested on what you had to say and they are fantastic with children, i brought my 3 year old daughter and she loved it, plenty of other kiddies kept her entertained but most of the other guests were older adults, about 70% were french but they were polite enough. The manager is always on hand to attend to guest and he is visable (not to mention has a perky bum- wears tight trousers) the animation team (entertainment) were brillaint, young morrocan guys/girls have plenty of activities from water arobics, yoga, arabic dance, darts, beach volley ball and the evening entertainment was funny. There was also a magician which was fantastic. This holiday was the best I have ever had. If you want good weather, relaxation, entertainment, good food COME HERE, its even recommended on thompon in flight mag as the best hotel in Morroco. toptip, the hotel gift shop is fixed price, go to the suuk and haggle a little to get a bargain. Enjoy!!!

Room Tip: we were in 2046 which was pretty big.

Just got back, straight on the internet to write a review of this great hotel!
The staff are amazing, can't do enough for you. I mean, they won't even allow you to carry your own coffee pot 5 steps to your table, nooooo they do it for you! The hours they put in are obscene, so deserve a lot of credit. They really make this hotel. Cleaners do a great job, the place is beautiful. The bar staff, fantastic. The lady in the little bar in the reception engraved a little message: "I love you" in the top of our coffee!

When you arrive, you leave your bags outside. The porters then take them to your room. Give them a tip, don't be tight. 20 dirhams - less than 2 quid. It puts a massive smile on their faces. We tipped them, and also the cleaners on two occasions. The first, we gave her 50 dirhams - about 4 quid. Later, we found out she'd been back into our room, and give us extra bottles of water. The other time, two girls had double teamed our room, and did an amazing job. For the amount you save on all inclusive, a couple of quid to a fiver is nothing, but more to these guys, They deserve it!

The chefs are awesome. Food is great, we were stuffed every day. And boy, can they make good cakes! It did get a little repetitive by the end of the week, especially breakfast, but there's always something you'll like. Wednesday night is oriental themed, but we never noticed! Saturday is Italian themed, and that was superb. Coffee is fresh in the morning from pots, at other times, use the bars. They have it in machines, but it's very milky latte. Meal times : 7:30 - 10:30 breakfast in the main restaurant. 10:30 - 12:30 late breakfast in the pool restaurant. Not as much selection and cold on the one time we had it. 12:30 - 3:30 lunch in the pool restaurant, always pastas, fish dishes, chips, grill outside, fresh salad, pizza, soup and LOTS OF ACE CAKES!!!, 3:30 - 5:00 snacks downstairs, although we never went. Dinner is from 7-10 in the main restaurant. There is also another restaurant you can use once during your stay, but needs pre-booking. We never got round to this, but I think it's a grillhouse. It's next to the main restaurant upstairs in the lobby. Cocktails are free. I highly recommend the Sunset Cooler.

Entertainment: The animation team are pretty good. Although they did this obnoxious dance to the same song every day, at least twelve times. They'd do it on the bridge when we were sunbathing. About 7:30 ish, they'd do it in the little ballroom next to the restaurant, and at 9:45 every night, in the Founty Bar (a bar outside where the evening entertainment goes on), they'd do it another seventeen times. It's all I heard!! But they do a good job, and the old fellas love the pretty Moroccan ladies (who also partake in belly dancing btw.....yes, win) and the old dolls love the young Moroccan studs.

The pool area was clean and nice to look at at. There are 4 in total. One indoor saltwater, which was nice (warmed up once you're in) and 3 outside. Unfortunately, these were unusable as they were sooooooo cold. We saw a few brave souls in there, one girl told us it was 14 degrees. It was bitterly cold, a real shame. But the weather isn't the hotel's fault is it.

Our room was great. Block 4, paid for a garden view, got a fantastic view of the sea with the hillside in the background with the Arabic writing on it, which lights up at night. Spectacular. Twin beds, which were a bit awkward (falling down the gap in the middle). Good, hot showers. We used bottled water for toothbrushing purposes, after advice. I don't think it was necessary though. It was clean. TV - channels of interest : ch13 - Aljazeera 2, a film channel in English ch15- CNN. ch19 - BBC world news. ch21- Action channel, films all day, in English. Channels 1-5 football! And lots of it! All the time! Win! I managed to watch the United-Liverpool game (with funny Arabic commentary - Roooooooney, EL GOLDEN BOOOOY!), which I was panicking about missing. Most of the channels are German, a few French, Spanish. A mix for everyone.

Outside the hotel, we went to the marina twice. There are a few shops up there selling their fake Raybans etc. the usual. The beach was nice, if you discard the annoying lucky lucky men selling their cheap tat. A nice no doesn't work, a firmer no seems to do a little better, and that's when they try and sell you camel rides. Don't buy them, they're illegal. And when you tell them no, that's when they'll offer you drugs. Laugh at them, and walk away. We never went to the city, but there is a taxi rank outside the hotel. Reception will fix a price for you.

All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It's brilliant. In summer when it's hotter and the pools are usuable, it would be out of this world. We had 20 degrees most days, but it was windy.
I think if we came back to Agadir again, this is the ONLY hotel i'd stay in. We had a walk through Tikida Beach (2 mins away) and Dunas was better!

So definitely worth it's 4 stars. I'd go for 5 to be honest. Keep up the good work guys!

Room Tip: A tip: If you have Dirhams left, the porters at Agadir airport want tipping, and people give them po...

“Great hotel and good value”

We agree with all the other recent reviews, which are all accurate and fair. Relax, enjoy and have a good time here.

Very good 4* standard, staff excellent, and block 3 or 5 rooms have great views.
Food was very good, but always buffet style even in special restaurant.

Very minor gripes - outdoor pools very cold (same as Sea temp) in Feb, and heated indoor pool closes at 6pm sharp.
PS A polite no dealt with most hawkers and don't believe them if they spot your wristband and say they work at the hotel - otherwise you will be in their "uncle's" spice/carpet/leather shop before you know it.

Room Tip: Block 3 has great views over pool area and beach, block 5 looks right over prom and beach. Low numbe...

Just returned from a week at the Tikida Dunas . First time in Morocco and thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Couldn't have picked a better hotel . Just remember a lot of things are done on Moroccan time but they will get done . Excellent room with sea view , block 5 has the best . We were in block 4 at the right end for sea view . Block 2 at the back so avoid although it is quiet but not if u can't walk far . Plenty of choice at all meals , the hot doughnuts at breakfast are to die for . One of the better entertainment teams , really put on some good shows , the African Heartbeat one not to be missed and wait till u see the lads street dance ! Excellent landscaped pool area with plenty of sunbeds , although probably gets busy in summer . Very good promenade if u fancy a walk into Agadir , about 40 mins gets u to the start of shops , bars etc . Traders yes but friendly and take no for an answer . Trips so so . Fantasia show ok if u like their food , entertainment very noisy banging on drums and horse show big disappointment Would I go back - definitely , already looking at i .

Room Tip: Sea view ask for block 5 or 3 No sea view from block 2 Noise not a problem in any of them . No lif...

We only had one complaint and that was, breakfast, it was more like a cattle market. We tried going at differing times, unless you're very early or late it's very busy and hard work. Can't fault the food or the waiting staff. We will come back to Agadir, the weather is great for a short haul holiday. Next time wewant to be nearer the marina and restaurants, the walk from Tikida Dunas was enjoyable but it was long, it is 20 dinar back in a small taxi, don't let the drivers tell you otherwise.
