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.
