“Average Morocco”

Igoudar Aparthotel

11/12 found this review helpful

Went to Agadir from 12th July until 19th July. Booked through First Choice on the Internet and cost about £200 per person (1 was a child).

No air con when you arrive in Morocco airport, would recommend a small fan if you dislike the heat as there is some waiting round to be done as it's takes a while to get through immigration and baggage etc.

Once we had filled in more forms at the hotel and were given our room key. We asked to change rooms, as the view was OK but nothing special. Reception staff said First Choice people are only on the lower floor, (which is still above street level and is OK) so we stayed put!
Hotel was good for the price. We had a 2-bed apartment and a 1-bed apartment. Large rooms, mostly clean. The shutters, which are pulled across the windows, are quite stiff. Towels were changed daily. Water was usually cold for showering but warmed up if you left it to run for about 10 minutes. Some ants and other insects but nothing much.

The pool is OK, nothing special. Bit cold to start but after you get in it's OK. They do daily activates, such as water polo. We bought sun lounges to out apartments, which was good.
There is a much better pool near the beach. You pay to get in (quite cheap though). They have a small water slide, private beach and good food!

We went on the town excursion. This was quite good and I would recommend it. Just watch out for the men at the top of the Casbar (top of the hill). As soon as you get off the coach they drag you to their camels and babies to hold and demand money. One man became very nasty towards us and was very very annoying!!!

Watch out for the shop owners. They become quite annoying after a while, wouldn’t recommend going into a shop unless you actually want something. They pester and pester you constantly! Make sure you haggle with the price; you can always get them down to half the first price they say and maybe some more. I found that if you walk out of the shop they would come after you and offer a lower price.

If you go to a Souk - don't venture to far. We went to the main Souk with the town excursion and we had 30 mins to look around. The place is massive and once inside it all looks the same. It became quite scary after 25 minutes, as we had no idea where we were! In the end we found our way to the meeting point just in time!!

I would definitely recommend the 4x4 safari - this was amazing. Bit of a bumpy ride to start but some of the things you see are amazing. (Banana Plantation, Massive Dam, Sand Dunes with a man with scorpions and snakes, traditional food at a Palace, coastline where fisherman live and sell their goods on the shore, traditional pottery place, a small town which specialise in silver) - EXCELLENT!!!

Would recommend the following:
1) Buying alcohol on the plane or at duty free as it was nicer than the Moroccan spirits.
2) Take a jacket as it's a cold wind at night!
3) Ladies - cover up.
4) Make sure you give your money to the waiter at the end of meal / drink as we had someone pinch out money which caused some problems.

“Not Bad”

Igoudar Aparthotel

Jun 21, 2006
2/6 found this review helpful

Great location and pretty clean inside - had the odd cockroach and loads of cats about!! Nice pool though and very quite even though on a busy road. Beach not far away and town easy distance. Good food just around the corner at Jardin L'eau, not bad price either. More expensive in Morocco than expected mainly because of tipping. Only complaint was being pestered for money ALL the time!! Started as soon as you are off the plane - couldn't shop without being hassled, couldn't take pictures without being hasselled either. If your soft over animails be prepared for sad sights of donkeys, horses and camels!!

“good all rounder”

Igoudar Aparthotel

Jun 7, 2006
9/10 found this review helpful

we have just returned from two weeks staying at the Igouder aps and must say really enjoyed ourselves.To be honest the apts do need agood refurbishment but were very spacious,we had a two bedroom apt with a small kitchen (ample for us we ate out every night) a large lounge area with dining table and chairs,a bigish bathroom with bath and overhead shower and seperate loo,all in all plenty of space.Towels were changed on a daily basis and our sheets were changed at least 4 times whilst we were there.There was a fair size patio with garden furniture( again needs replacing).The pool area is large and we spent a lot of time there, not crowded at any time we even took our own drinks from our fridge and no one seemed to mind(we ar'nt tight ,ours was colder than theirs). All the staff were lovely and friendly from the reception to the domestics.The bar at the pool left a lot to be desired cos if you did'nt drink beer or wine there was'nt much else to have,although to be honest it was not very well patronised.taking children ..well i'm not sure weather it would be for them unless they love the water(i do) as the kiddies pool looked safe and there is plenty of room to put your lounger right where you can keep an eye on them. The apts are in a good position for the beach (about 10 mins walk away) and an exellent position for the restarants (on the dorstep).All in all good value for self catering if you like us like to eat out anyway.

“Basic self catering in a good location”

Igoudar Aparthotel

3 of 5 stars
Stockport, United Kingdom
May 8, 2006
12/13 found this review helpful

These apartments are VERY basic, but large and mostly clean. Perhaps could do with some refurbishment. We found the beds to be comfy and no need for air con in early May (the nights were a little chilly). The windows also had wooden sliding shutters which kept the rooms cool. Apartment had a full sized fridge, kettle, 2 ring cooker and usual pots and pans. Maids came daily to change towels, make beds and clean floors, but we found they weren’t too hot on cleaning kitchen, sinks and bath (not to my standard anyway).

Good idea to take EAR PLUGS. There were quite a few cats around the apartments, which did wake us up at 5.00 am with a full on cats chorus. Don’t know where the birds got such a loud tweet from either but one breed in particular was amazingly loud, each time dawn broke, followed by usual tweeting sparrow like birds and nice wood pigeons. Nice once you have woken but not that early!

Apartments are arranged around little courtyards which appear to make all sorts of daily sounds/talking etc echo an awful lot. Doors to apartments were extremely rudimentary and were constantly being slammed shut. Tables and chairs scraped along tiled floors also added to noise.

We were on the first floor and had a large balcony to share with our neighbour. There was a clothes maiden also outside for your washing.

The pool area was fair, with comfy sunloungers and parasols. Pool wasn’t heated. There were a few people selling wooden ornaments, jewellery etc. around the pool area all at a fair price (with a little haggling). There also a little hut near the pool selling snacks including nuts which they heat up and crystalise in hot sugar whilst you wait. The old man who opens the door to Igoudar is extremely friendly and deserves a tip or two.

They also provided a room to wash/shower and change in for everyone to use on the day of departure, although there were plenty of clean bathrooms around to use too.

We didn’t get hassled to buy drinks in the bar or around the pool which was quite amazing and so unlike other hotels, and yet their prices were very fair.

The hotel also exchanges money and in addition all around the resort are cash like machines which you can exchange money either by inserting paper notes or your cash card.

There is a little supermarket to the left of the hotel which sells basics like water, bread, milk etc. Very handy and fair prices too.

The apartments are well situated, just a short walk to the beach and the main road which has restaurants and shops on, yet in May, not that close to cause any disturbance with noise.

All in all a fair hotel (apart/hotel) for the price and in a good spot. Staff very nice and friendly. Would recommend to anyone on a budget or who wants basic self catering option.

3/14 found this review helpful

Slow in the reception, and the cleaning in the
apart. was minimal. There was no staff in the
pool-area? and in the bar? I wonder where they
are, maybe sleeping?? I have been in Agadir
6 times before in different hotel, but this is
the badliest I have sleeping at. (bedbug)
I don´t recomend this labyrint-hotel to you!!
