I agree with the other comments given already, the place Agadir is not that much to do, kind of touristic. But the hotel itself is fantastic, rather expensive, but great moroccan food, great lounge hotel, fantastic pool and beach. Yes, if you want to relax and have a spa within reach, choose Sofitel.

I have just got back from a weeks break in Morocco and stayed at the Sofitel in Agadir, it was a fantastic hotel. Before I went I was checking out all the reviews which left me slightly worried as there seemed to be mixed thoughts about this place. The hotel did not fail to impress it was a stunning hotel, with very friendly staff that were very willing to help it definitly had the 5* feel. My partner and I felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. Their private beach was stunning with staff bringing you towels before we'd even put your bags down it was a great location to watch the sunset and various watersports should you fancy it. The rooms where large and comfortable we had great views. The only downside would be the 5* prices especially in the restaurant, but when staying in a place like this its sort of expected, Overall a fantastic stay and somewhere that you can really unwind, sit back and relax.

Just returned from a 2 week stay at this hotel. Well what can i say? I was expecting great things after reading the previous reviews and I was not disappointed. The hotel was amazing. We were b&b and the choice was fantastic. Anything you could think of for breakfast (apart from bacon, obviously) was available. We managed to get a fantastic deal on this hotel as someone at the holiday company made a mistake with the price, so our stay was made even sweeter. The only down side of this hotel was the other guests. Talk about snooty!! We lost count of the amount of times we said good morning or hello to other guests and were completely ignored. I was even ignored by a little holidaying dog!! That said though, the staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful or friendly.

The prices were somewhat over the top - £4 for one glass of orange juice & £9 for a cheeseburger at lunch time, but then we were in a big swanky 5* hotel. We just filled up at breakfast then ate out at night. One word of warning though for other skint travellers like myself. When you first check in, the hotel takes your credit card and puts a block on 5000DRM (about £430). We only found this out because we used a prepaid travel card and realised we were about to run out of money at the beginning of the 2nd week. But once we explained this to the reception desk, the removed the block right away.

All in all, we had the most fantastic holiday. Our only regret is that unless the same mistake with the price is made again this year, we won't be able to afford to return to this hotel again next year. But we would definately go back to agadir again and again.

We stayed at the Agadir beach hotel from the 31st August until 8th September.
Beach and pool.
Absolutely fantastic pool and beach. We spent the entire time relaxing and swimming either at the pool or the beach
rooms.
We stayed in a first floor balcony room over looking the pool with the sea in the distance. The room was basically furnished with a clean and comfortable bed.
The room was cleaned with new towels and sheets for three days and then changed only once more. I don’t know the reason perhaps the tip was not enough?
Food.
We stayed on B&B. The breakfast was ok my main concern was that sparrows were always flying over head with their excrement falling on the food. The evening meal we felt was of a poor quality and expensive. We ate twice in the evening we did however have several delicious meals at la scarla restaurant about 6 mins away there is a free shuttle to get you there and back. Alcohol was expensive for wine, beer and champagne but I am pleases to report that La Scarla had a fair reasonably priced wine list.
Service.
The service was excellent providing you tipped well – I had the same bed at the pool and the beach waiting everyday with towels table and umbrella. Lunch and refreshments were served with a smile
Low point. We tried to reserve our room for a late check out unfortunately it was allocated we needed to leave by 5pm. Reception offered a free of charge late checkout room. When we used it the reception attitude was not helpful when we arrived in the room there was no furniture, no electricity no towels or loo roll, no shower curtain the window had been left open and the room and floor was covered in sand. I had to spend time to find the maids and request the basics for washing. As soon as I had found all the necessary items a male receptionist telephoned and said that we must get out because some one else needed the room. I requested to speak to the duty manager a smart lady who played lip service to my comments. This episode really spoiled a nice break – and it was clear to me that the service at this hotel depends on how much you tip and they are not interested in customer service
Disruption there is construction going on next door in the unfinished hotel. The hotel has a bar closed and the pool bar seems to be closed without notice . There is mud and changes in the decking because of garden redesign, some of the sun beds and other beds are tatty and in a state of disrepair.
