Booked with Thomas Cook, flight with First Choice.

Rooms: Standard hotel rooms, clean, comfortable and well maintained. Satelite t.v. went on the blink but this was rectified within an hour. Baths are on the small size but overhead shower fine and constant hot water.

Resturant: Food excellent, good and varied selection, well cooked and tasty. Always able to find something to savour and enjoy. Waiters friendly and nothing too much trouble. Its not often the head waiter brings coffee to your table to save you the trouble of walking to the self-service. Desserts to die for and plenty of them.

Pool Bar: Food not very good here and quite pricey compared to food outlets in and around resort, however, during our stay the chef from the resturant was seen to be giving instructions to the staff and the food quality and service improved.

Entertainment: Very good animation team, friendly and interested in all guests whatever their age or nationality. The usual pool games and bingo in at least eight languages. Entertainment at night a bit of a let down as this finished at 11pm approximately due to management not wanting to disturb guests. Disco/nightclub at hotel empty and even staff went to other hotel discos.

Beauty Salon and massage centre: Brilliant and well worth the price paid, much cheaper than at home.

Bar: Only real dissapointment, no atmosphere and prices on drinks a real rip off. You would expect to pay more for drinks in any hotel but a mark up of almost four times as much as prices in the supermarkets is insulting. One litre bottle of water 18 Dirhams in hotel 4-5 Dirhams outside, ditto alcoholics drinks and coffee, tea etc.

Overall a relaxing break but would not return. Your money will go further in resorts in Tunisia and there is very little to see or do in Agidir.

We stayed for two days at this hotel. Let's not be harsh and say it was OK.

On the plus side are the pleasant service (except the restaurant and its amateurish waiters), a couple of nice-looking lounges (look for the oriental room) and a good swimming pool.

On the minus side, well ... some rooms are very noisy with a furniture that looks cheap. Bathrooms are somewhat crudely decorated (see exposed water pipes under the sink). Waiters at the restaurant can be rude (girlfriend scoffed at by staff because she used a coffee cup to put some jam in. So what ...).

Actually, on second thought, this hotel is just terrible.

3/3 found this review helpful

This hotel had a outbreak of food poisoning while we were there. A majority of the guests were very sick and the staff did not seem to care at all and put it down to 'climate change'. It was not just the European people who were sick but a lot of the Moroccans and Algerians holidaying there were as well. So how can they say it is climate change.


When I tried to make a formal complaint, because my travelling companion had been sick in bed for two weeks, they would not accept it and I was told to put my complaint in the 'suggestion box' . Appalling. I would not allow my children to eat in the hotel from the second week and we spent their meal times in Pizza Hut and McDonalds. Hardly Moroccan but I was terrified that they would get this nasty virulent food bug. Anoither couple went home early for the same reason. Almost all the guests we spoke to had the same bug. Nothing was done and the hotel staff did not give a damn.


We also met a honeymoon couple who had been sick in bed all week.


DON'T GO THERE.

We stayed at this glorified youth hostel this month supposedly for 2 weeks but cut our holiday short due to this hotels' severe lack of basic cleanliness, service, amenities, food.....need I go on? We and many other people there were extremeley ill with severe sickness and diarrohea which I have no doubt was caused by the unhygienic conditions in this hotel. There is no way that this hotel is worthy of 4 stars. For a backpacker on a budget expecting the worst then yes, but for a family expecting a nice relaxing holiday in a clean environment, then no.

My self and my travelling companion Seamus booked a 2 week holiday in this dump. It felt like 2 months and we thought we would never get out of it. It was supposed to be 4*, 2* more like.
The biggest problem, apart from the hordes of beggers on the streets and freeloaders in the bars, was the food.
It was just a well we brought plenty of immodium. Poor ould Seamus was destroyed entirely. he was running morning, noon and night and I was'nt much better myself. No matter what we ate it seemed to go straight through us.
So be warned. brink a cork!
