its just 'nice' the wether in agadir as the coastal breezes cool you down - bit too hot though if you are going to go travelling places - can reach upto 50 degrees

the average weather was around 37-39 degrees but better wether was on the way when we were leaving

we did have a good time - hope you have a ball!!!!!

I've just got back from this hotel on Monday - I'll post a review soon but the first week we were there it was cloudy every day and it even rained and watch out when it rains as it tends to rain sand and it stains your clothes. I'm still trying to clean some of mine. It wasn't heavy rain or anything and it was actually quite nice when it was cloudy as I appreciated once the sun came out the second week as it was hot, hot, hot!!

Don't even think of getting a sunbed unless you get up at 5.00am every morning and if you want a parasol make sure you're at the pool about 9.00am when he's distributing them as the pool men tend to favour the people who tip them every day. That's just not my thing I'm afraid - I'm all for tipping for good service I've received but I don't believe in tipping someone just so I can get something from them.

Hi folks, we went in April and it was great!

Just here to answer a few qs in this thread.

The hotels are side by side, connected by a (constantly open) gate next to the money-exchange. Just imagine that they're on a huge pitch, with 2 entrances and receptions on each side! but they're in the same complex. Each hotel has 2 pools with associated sunbeds/pvc matresses (get v sticky!) but there are some nice grassy areas. I'd recommend tipping to build a relationship and get really excellent service - not just the pool man (for your bed LOL) but also for food. Brahim in the snack bar was a TOTAL star and as we walked passed, said he'd prepare our table for 2 - half in shade, half in sun and when we got there, log and behold, our drinks were already on the table! And top-ups very frequent (I snoozed by the pool most afternoons LOL).

Our balcony was tiny, just room for 2 chairs - luck of the drawer though as others were larger.

Nights were cold when we went so we were grateful for the electric panel heater! Don't know about air conditioning, sorry, as we didn't use it.
