Agadir Rui Tikida Dunas

We went in November last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hotel was very clean and also our rooms, plenty of space. Food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. It was my birthday while I was there and the staff made me a superb chocolate birthday cake and even gave me a bottle of fizz to celebrate. We had a wonderful holiday and we are going back in September of this year as we liked it so much. Definitely a good holiday location and loved Marrakech would thoroughly recommend a trip there. Entertainment was a not so good.

We arrived on 14/05/08 in the evening and were told to leave our cases outside while we checked in, on returning having found out our room numbers we then had to stick a label to our cases with the number. Once they had brought the case to our rooms we were then required to give a small tip but none of us had any local currency and ended up giving them a couple of quid which didn't go down too well. Our room was on the ground floor and quite large, plenty of room for all of us and very clean and tidy. The swimming pool at the Agadir Rui Tikida Dunas which looked so nice in the brochure was freezing cold and I only saw a couple of people swimming the whole time we were there. The hotel is quite large and the majority of the guests appear to be from France and Germany, each lunch sitting the waiters had the habit of greeting us in German.

Away from the hotel in Agadir we didn't find a great deal on offer, we walked from the hotel to the marina and only found a few uninviting restaurants and shops. It would seem that the place is still being built and at this rate they are going won't be ready for another 5 years are least. Oh there is an English pub which is about a mile down the road from the hotel and quite large with loads of TV Screens which is quite good, they don't sell any English beer and don't do crisps. The local brew is called FLAG which is a pretty average lager at around 4 pound a pint, we tried to find a shop which sold alcohol but couldn't find any, we did manage to get a few beers from the hypermarket after a short taxi ride. We bought a case of 24 bottles of FLAG which came to about 130 Dirams (10 pounds), this we managed to make last the whole week between 3 of us. Our Thomas cook rep was very nice and helpful and we booked up two excursions one a half day coach tour round Agadir and the other was a two day trip to Marrakech. Marrakech was fantastic and definitely the highlight of the holiday, it cost about 100 pounds but well worth it. Back at the hotel there's not much to do apart from sit round the pool, sometimes we couldn't even do that because of the high winds made it unbearable.

After visiting Egypt the past two years we were all in agreement that it would have been better to go there again.

Went to Morocco having heard lots of negative things and not expecting too much, we had the holiday of our lives, the hotel was amazing, the people were lovely. the food was fantastic (none of this having to watch what you eat!)... cant wait to get back

Fantastic holiday

Overall a very good holiday was had by myself and my husband and 2 children (6 & 9). If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with good weather that is something different that the rest of Europe give Morocco a try, it seems to be the place to be!

Hope the review helps make the right choice - enjoy your holiday!

Had a 7 night stay in Mid February 2006 and had a great time. Tikida Dunas Hotel was only 3 years old and was in first class state. Staff were effcient and helpful. The was a large choice of food at every meal time and the speciality resturant on site was very plesant.

The pool was very clean, although at little cool at this time of the year. There is an indoor pool which is warmer.

The rooms were of a fair size and cleaned throughly every day. We had a lovely view of the sea from our room.

The weather was lovely and warm and we had a fantastic time.

Would certainly go again
