We loved Argana Hotel!

My husband and I have travelled around the world a few times and this is our take of Agadir and the Argana Hotel: We stayed a week at the Argana Hotel. First, lets say that Agadir with a few day trips planned ahead, had everything we needed for a nice fun and romantic vacation. The hotel is extremely clean, the pool staff work very hard to keep the entire area sparkling clean. The buffet they offer is fine, but the local cuisine is cheap and exceptionally good, so give it a try. Breakfast is awesome, try those square crepes, those are so delicious!

Friendly staff....very bad food

Agadir is a touristic location, tranquil, safe and has a pleasant beach area. There are many hotels in this area and we choose to stay at Argana 4* hotel in our 4 day stay in Agadir. Argana hotel is located about 500m from the beach and realistically it takes 15-20 minutes to get to the actual beach. The staff are nice and friendly but there is a general feeling that they are underpaid and you need to tip....everybody will kindly hint to you!

Loved the Hotel Argana

Agadir:Hotel Argana"Loved the Hotel Argana"

The staff make this place..

We had not been to Morocco before and booked our holiday, 19th to 26th March 2006 on the strength of support for this hotel we'd found on tripadvisor. We were'nt quite sure what to expect but need not have worried as this hotel is perfectly adequate for most people's needs. It's spotlessly clean, centraly placed and 'the staff make it worth while'. They are very attentive and pleasant particularly in the restaurant. They've given themselves a 4* rating - Thomson are nearer the mark with their 3+. We liked the food, the pool area (a bit of a sun trap) and the general ambience of the place. It really is good value for money. As usual there were gripes but they're minor and amount to no more than nit picking - the fridge didn't work properly (if you had one at all), the hot/cold water mixing for the shower became an art form and there were some slight language problems with some reception/bar staff. There's no entertainment to speak of. However, for £500+ for 7 nights H/B for the two of us it was a nice relaxing break. Recommended? No problem. March is somewhat unpredictable though - 23 degrees became 41 degrees in double quick time, with the odd nightime shower thrown in!

Loved it and want to go back

We stayed at the Argana Hotel having been moved from an awful hotel elsewhere in Agadir. What a good move. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. The food, especially on Moroccan nights, was lovely and did mostly cater for vegetarians too. The breakfasts were particularly good, with freshly cooked stuff like pancakes and doughnuts and eggs to order. The hotel looked slightly worn, but the staff cleaned often and the public areas were particularly good. When we did encounter a small problem, such as a light gone, it was dealt with promptly. There was some sporadic daytime animation which was quite fun, and shows on 2 evenings only - so not exactly full of fun, but you could easily go out on the town if inclined. The massage parlour was lovely and we would recommend this. Maybe not quite a 4 star, but a very good three star and we thought value for money.

Good value winter sun

Had a good week here helped by the fact that the sun shone everyday (25 degrees)contrary to the forecast!Rooms are fine with nice balconies.Breakfast buffet is excellent with vast selection including freshly made to order omelettes, eggs, pancakes. Evening meals are ok with a different theme each evening..Spanish, Italian etc. We found variety and quality were fine but sadly let down by being lukewarm. The exception is the Morrocan evenings with excellent tagines all piping hot..perhaps they should stick to their own cuisine every evening!Restaurant staff are the stars going out of their way to pander to you. They appear to have a system where they adopt you for your stay, ushering you to a regular table, remembering how you have your coffee and what wine you like all of which is pleasantly attentive.

Fantastic Hotel

We have returned from the Argana hotel and I cannot give it enough praise. The hotel is unbelievably clean, the staff very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I was initially reserved about the concept of buffet style half board meals but the variety and quality of food was fantastic.

The Argana

My partner and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Argana Hotel in Agadir - a great location for a chilled, relaxing break.

Very pleasant

My 7 day holiday was booked with Sunway Holidays in November 2004. The flight over the Atlas Mountains on the approach to Agadir was very exciting as they seemed to roll on for ever.
