We have recently returned from Agadir having had a great time. I wasnt quite sure what to expect of the place in advance, but remained open minded and i’m glad I did. We stayed at the Iberostar Founty Beach hotel which is beachfront and had an amazing lagoon-style pool - we couldn’t really fault the hotel, it was gorgeous - my only partial gripe was that the character of the hotel was a bit too sterile compared to other hotels such as the RIU Tikida Beach hotel down the road, but overall we were really happy.

We spent days soaking up the sun on the glorious stretch of sandy beach that seemed to go on forever - there was loads of space too as it was really wide & it was also very clean with a nice shallow slope into the warm sea… We really wanted to do as many excursions as possible whilst we were there to make the most of the trip & there was plenty of activities on offer. We took off on an adventurous camel ride (so uncomfortable!!!), another day we visited the epicentre of where the 1960 earthquake struck and we also spent an evening enjoying berber hospitality and entertainment, which was full of loads of singing and dancing.

Nights out could be as lively or quiet as you wanted them to be… we chose the lively option and headed to the nightclub ‘le central’ a few times, where we were later told that some of the ‘ladies of the night’ have been known to pop by! But the best night out was the outside foam party, held on the beach at a beach bar. A very wild night was had - it was great fun! No matter where you go the people are so much more friendly the likes on Spain - they are very smily and genuine - I would recommend a holiday to Agadir to anyone. Oh and try the Moroccan Lamb tagine - beautiful!!!
