Hotel Anezi Agadir

The hotel itself looks great - a grand reception, decent clean rooms if a bit basic and for once no towels on sun beds. The downside is that the food is repetitive and not very nice.The breakfast consisted mainly of eggs, the strangest ham I've ever tasted, cheese, and bread. The same choice of meals every evening - fish, chicken legs in sauce, grisly beef stew and pasta. Although we'd booked half board we ate out a lot. The cleaning staff were nice enough but they only made the beds and wiped the floors. The hotel is mainly full of French visitors and so everything - food, staff, limited entertainment is geared for them. hate to say it but if you're English you're a 2nd /3rd class guest. We stayed for a week and were never able to change money in the hotel except for the last day when they changed enough for us to pay our drinks bill and not a Dirham more.
From the minute you get off the plane, every man woman and child is trying to get money off you in Morrocco. You are harassed by the local shopkeepers who all but drag you in to their shops forcing fake watches, leather goods etc on you. We went to Marakesh, what a con - over 4 hours each way not 2.5 as told and conned in to eating in a restaurant by the driver which cost £36 for 2 adults and a child. Everything is overpriced, fake or tacky.
It's a shame given that great efforts have obviously been made with the beach front. All in all the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Everyone has their own opinion in what they want in a Holiday.....mine is so very simple.....its value for money !! I don't expect five star luxory if I'm only paying for a three star package holiday, so when I booked this holiday I wasn't expecting to reach for the moon and the stars.....but wow it came very close to it !!
The easy way of commenting is to read all the reviews and then perhaps answer some of the negative comments with how we found it. The reception staff weren't at all unfriendly but like in any busy Hotel they do get rushed off their feet at times (and remember English is usually their third language !!)......money changing.....its a Hotel not a bank !!
After seven days of course the food will get repetitive.....doesn't that happen in any Restaurant ?? Agrophobia on the eigth floor.....its called Vertigo (change your room then ??)
To sum up.....the staff are as friendly as you are to them....the service is boardering on the excellent.....the cleanliness second to none (especially the room service) the hotel itself is immaculate !!
As I said at the beginning if all you expect is value for money you wont go wrong by staying at the Anezi.....plus that little bit extra thrown in for fee that really helps you enjoy your stay

I travelled alone to Morocco, and was pleasantly surprised on arrival at Hotel Anezi. There was a welcome committee to greet us on the steps/foyer.
My room was on the 8th floor (even though I'd requested a room on a lower floor, but not too big an issue).
I found it to be clean, airy and very comfortable with a nice balcony which I couldn't really make use of being a bit agoraphobic.
The staff were friendly in the main, but a couple of straight faces on reception. The food was plentiful and quite Moroccan but after the first week I found it a bit repetitive, but after saying that it was plentiful and fresh.
There was a good "animation team" by the pool during the day and in the bar at night, who tried to get everyone involved, which for a single traveller was a plus.
However being quite gregarious, I soon made friends and went on some excursions including trips to Marrakesh, Essouaria and a 4x4 safari into the Sahara. All arranged by Amandine the rep in the Hotel Anezi.
My 14 day holiday passed very quickly and when I got home I contemplated going back again later in the year, with some people from Scotland I'd met in Agadir, but it wasn't to be. But perhaps will grab 7 days there early this summer.
I will definitely visit again at some point and hope things haven't changed too much when I do.
Highly enjoyable time, but dont go if youre looking for the Med, its a different culture and to me lots more exciting.
