Club Al Moggar Garden Beach

Arrrived at the hotel not knowing what to expect. Pleased to advise we thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the hotel. Much better than any other 3 star (and some 4 star) hotels we've stayed in in the past. I understand many of the rooms have recently been modernised and I think ours had been done within the past few months. Room was very large. Entertainment was not up to much on most nights though. I would highly recommend people to go on the 'Berber Night' which costs about £18.00 per person inc food and drink. Taxi to/from the airport cost around £9 each way and is much better than the bus the travel agent would have provided at £25 return. There do appear to be some nicer hotels around Agadir which I would probably try if I were to visit again, however, I would not object to staying at Al Moggar again.

i stayed in al moggar in nov 2006 and im going back march 16 2007, i would reccomend this hotel to anyone, the rooms were excellent always kept clean with free a/c and a tv which my little brother made a lot of use of and the bathrooms are huge. The hotel staff were excellent, very friendly and couldnt do enough for you, we made very good friends with most of the staff which is the main reason for our return. There were always lots of activities for kids and adults during the day at the pool and even though the night time entertainment was mostly in french i stll found it vey good, there is a lot of steps but i didnt find this a problem and as for carrying the cases upon arrivel and leaving someone was there to carry them straight away. Dont be put off by some of the bad reviews on here ( there is no pleasing some people)

We have literally just returned from a two week holiday in Agadir Morocco, where we stayed at Club Al Moggar. We spent the New Year there and returned on 12th January 2007. Club Al Moggar itself is a well kept, clean and freindly hotel. It has a good position on the beach front (you just have to cross the main road to get to the beach and in all is about a two minute walk from the hotel) and the rep that brought us in from the airport told us it was one of the best hotels in the resort and that she lived there. We managed to get a ground floor apartment next to the pool which was good as we had heard that a lot of people didn't like the steps up to the apartments above ours. We have two small children (aged one and three) and didn't relish the idea of bumping buggies up lots of stairs. The rooms are cleaned daily and in the mornings there are always gardeners doing the watering and people milling about cleaning. The staff are friendly and attentive and we found the evening entertainment quite good for the children. For the adults there is the bar and some light music each night. The only downside we found to the hotel was the food. We stayed on a half board basis and unfortunatley didn't find the food to our satisfaction. Our children wouldn't eat a thing and we ended up going to the Marjane (the nearest Asda type establishment) to get the kids some cereal! There was normally a 'salad bar' some trays of rice and other staples like pasta and a few bits of vegetables. There was also a cooked piece of meat like chicken or fish but for some reason our children wouldn't eat a thing. The supermarket is about a ten minute taxi ride from the hotel and here you can find everything you need if you have fussy eaters. Bread and cheese etc are quite inexpensive but if you want branded cereals and other branded foods be prepared to pay over the odds. On the premisis you will find a hairdresser who caters for both sexes and a massusse. We used the services of the hairdresser who was very good but a little heavy handed! The pool was very cold so there were only a few brave souls who threw themselves in but you woud normally find the children clustered around it. The outside bar opens at 11am and closed beofre 5pm. You can get snacks and drinks from there but it is very limited. In the apartment you will find four single beds, a very good sized bathroom, a television and storage area. The floors are tiled and are swept dialy by the maids. The rooms are substantial sizes and open out onto a patio on the ground floor or a balcony if you get a room above. There isn't really a lot to do in this hotel and older children, I feel, would get quite bored. There is a games room but the games are not cheap and are over with very quickly. Getting out and about is very easy. Taxi's usually que outside the hotel for your convienience and the doorman will normally flag a taxi down for you. Hire car shops are just across the road and there are frequent bus stops along the road. Club Al Moggar in all is a nice place to stay. The Gardens are beautiful, the views of the sea are glorious and the place is immaculatley clean.

After waiting for an age for the reception to notice us we were shown to a room which was totally unready for guests. The beds were all unmade and dirty. Rubbish scattered and dirty bathroom. Telephone did not work in room. No apologies. Avoid.

As you would expect when booking a 3* hotel, the room was quite basic with regards to furniture but was spotlessly clean. The reception, bar and pool area are spacious and kept to a high standard. All staff members are very polite and friendly and can't do enough to help. We had trouble with our hot water, which I reported to reception, the plumber was there within 5 minutes and sorted the problem straight away. We booked B & B and I would say the breakfast is a little disappointing with limited choice. For lunch and evening meals we ate in a different restaurant every day and we never had a bad meal. We recommend Le Nil Blue and L'Jardin D'Eau. Overall we would rate the hotel highly for a cheap 3* hotel. Tips for a good hols 1) USE THE HOTEL SAFES. there were 5 burglaries in the week when we were there, including ourselves (£70). 2) Take the 2 day trip to Marakesh, not to be missed.

Were 2 girls aged 30 and 40 who have just got back in the last few days from staying at Club Al Moggar. The hotel is really lovely, we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sea view from our room which was on the top floor. There are no lifts in the hotel so be prepared to walk up quite a few steps to your room if youre on the top, this wasnt a problem for us but I wouldnt reccommend for the infirm, unfit or disabled. The whole of the hotel was really clean, couldnt fault it. The food was buffet style and in all honesty not that great but it was edible plus you had the option of booking into their Morrocan or Italian restaurant instead of the main restaurant as part of your half board/all inclusive deal. We only tried the italian and the meal was beautiful. The food at the pool bar was very good. The staff are all very friendly and very helpful, they speak english but Morocco is a predominantly French and Arabic speaking country so brush down your old French books from school, it really does help to know a few key phrases. The entertainment poor and they spoke mainly in French throughout. The daytime entertainment by the pool was reasonable, pool games, table tennis, darts but not much to entertain children. The evening was mainly dancers miming to well known musicals such as Grease and after the first night of it we chose to go out for walks instead. You can book excursions with your rep, Marrakech is a 2 day trip, very tiring and not good if youre only there for a week. The 'Humps and Bumps' camel ride was lots of fun, be prepared for a sore back afterwards we laughed so hard though, we also booked a massage (not at the hotel although this is available) and it was truly out of this world. 2hrs, tip to toe of pure unadulterated bliss for £20! You MUST try this. We also went to the Souk which is a 15min ride in a 'petit' orange taxi from the hotel costing about 30DIR(£2) its an experience to say the least, be prepared for the guides trying to show you round for money, just say no to them, they do go away, be prepared for them trying to get you to go into their stall, theyre very persistent (''cheaper than Asda!!!'' and ''Fish and chips in here come see!'') bartering is a MUST, ask the price then half it, start from there, if your not happy then walk away, guaranteed they chase after you for the sale and you get it at the price you want. There are a few shops in the resort and these have set prices so no bartering, you pay the price you see, its good to check out the prices here first before you go to the Souk so you dont get ripped off. Try having Henna done, we had ours done in a shop for about £3.50 and it was amazing (the Henna woman on the beach wanted to charge us £10 for the same thing so shop around) Agadir has lots of restaurants on the sea front, no bars, if youre 2 women like us you will get lots of male attention, just smile, walk away and say no thankyou, but if youre into that sort of thing then you'll be in youre element!!!! We had so many offers of marriage, going for drinks etc, when we said no though they do go away, and are respectful of that. The beach is beautiful, walk about 15mins down the beach and you can go into the private cordenend off areas and hire a sun lounger for about 20DIR (£1.50) for the day and the touts and sellers are not allowed in here to bother you. The weather was beatiful the whole time we were there. Agadir is a lovely place and I'm glad I tried Morocco. I wouldnt go back but only because there are so many places in the world to see I never go back to the same place twice.

We have just returned back from Agadir in Morocco. We stayed in the Club Al Moggar Hotel and it was the best holiday we have ever had. We have visited many different places around the world and this was our first visit to Morocco. Originally we booked for Egypt and for different reasons changed it over to Agadir. It was the best move we ever made. 4 of us went - all girls at different ages, 49, 23, 14 &15 yrs and every single one of us enjoyed it the same. The staff are fantastic and cant do enough for you, this is ALL staff: cleaners, maids, animation team, bar, restaurant, pool - ALL! The food wasnt all that great in the hotel but was edable. We ate out away from the hotel on a few occasions and the prices were brilliant as was the food. There is a massive souk (market) about 20 mins from the hotel and all you ahve to do is take a txi there which are more than reasonably priced. So girls, if u love ur bags and shoes like us - its a good place to go although when u first arrive it can be a littl off putting as first impressions are not that great but wait til u walk through that part before u judge! The gardrens and the views of the beaches are amazing and there wasnt one day we didnt have nothing to do. We are all quite fussy as to where we go on holiday and the hotels we stay in and we dont have a single complaint about the place. The Animation Team are absolutley amazing and continously interacted with the guests - games, dancing, shows (and ladies - the guys are gorgeous) We have come home very depressed as we didnt want to come home at all. Our visit was a 2 week stay from 13/10/06 - 27/10/06. We have just booked to return to Morocco for New year for a week and again next October for 2 more weeks. We met and had a fabulas time with most of the animation team and have kept in touch with a few of them who are looking forward to our return as much as we are. The hotel is gorgeous and exceptionally clean. The weather was great as well which always makes ur holiday anyway. Its a fab holiday for all ages and we all reccomend it!

2 families consisting of eight peole stayed during Auguat - firstly the morroccans go in August because it is the coolest time of year - if you are looking for sunshine forget it - although it is warm , but very warm still. Hotel reception abismal in appearance also staff support very poor, nothing is considered important. The rooms we had were spacious and met all of our needs apart from the air conditioning in one which pumped out heat instead even though the engineers deemed it repaired on more than one occasion. The electricty was also a bit dodgy in room 215 as lights blew on one occasion fortunately the occupant was an electrician and managed to repair it - we were still waiting for the hotel staff to deal with this on departure - a number of days later!!!! Food was repetative and did not accomodate for children and it may have helped if there had been some labelling system to identify what was on offer. Adults were well catered for although menu a little limited. The animation team were very good although the kids club was targeted for french speaking children and as a result the young children in our party excluded themselves. The hotel location is ideal in a very relaxed end of the resort in close proximity to the beautiful beach and sea. Only on our return did we find things amiss, clothing and jewellery items had been removed from the two rooms on the morning of our day of departure. So if you have enything that is eyecatching either clothing or unusual jewellery not necessarily valuable items ensure you check on it regularly or keep all items locked up including your clothing even underwear especially expensive bras!!!! As the items were removed on the last day which is usually a bit frantic and you tend not to be fully aware of all of your belongings other than your valuable things we did not discover until our return to the UK that the items had been taken on contacting our insurance company were told that we were not covered as we had not reported the theft to the Moroccan police. Be very wary . We can only assume that it was the hotel staff that had removed the items. Otherwise the holiday was a great success Morrocco is beautiful and the locals are always kind caring considerate and helpful. If you are booking trips have faith in the beach traders we had a great 4x4 trip with a gang of 28 fantastic.

Don't be put off by some reviews, we loved al moggar, it was clean with sea views and well kept gardens, Weather was great late 30's ,quiet a few steps around , rooms a good size with tv an A/C at no charge. pool was clean and mostly empty with sun loungers plentiful. Staff very helpful and friendly, Food wasn't the best, breakfast being worst but we ate out only 4 times (resaurants plentiful all cheap enough mcdonalds & pizzahut near by) we viewed what was on offer first . Entertainment fairly low key daytime, evening shows good . The hotel was a little bit away from main shopping area but it was nice to walk about to see what the resort had to offer, taxis cheap enough all journeys between 1-2 pound and the wally trolley about 1 pound for a 40 minute tour around agadir you can jump off and get on with one ticket well worth it, souk worth a visit if you like to haggle but go after youv'e been browsing the shops first to get a idea of prices, a few people got caught out paying more at the souk .Beach is great just across the road very hot sand but very clean with a few sellers around. One thing is there is no TEA or BACON any where so take a travel kettle and teabags if you must have a cuppa, a must try the massage 22 pound for 2 hours brilliant head to toe . ENJOY the culture of morocco its not britain . Also the hotel is closing for 3 months end of october for a refurb on the rooms, resaurant , receptoin & another pool

We had 2 rooms booked for our holiday, rooms 425 and 521, on the day we arrived at the resort room our problems started. Firstly in room 425 the AC was on and the remote to it wouldn't work so we couldn't do anything, this was reported to reception right away, they promised some one will come and see us. Used the remote from other room. Day 2 still waiting for some one, called reception, still waiting, towels not enough for the room was told not enough available. Day 3 same story went to reception in anger eventually they did some thing about it. Check out time is noon we instructed reception 3 days earlier, that we would like to extend our time for checkout till evening as our flight is late was told not a problem let them know on the day. Morning of departure was told not a problem come back at noon with room keys. Went back and noon was told we had to check out as the rooms were all full, we had to pay the extension fee and given a smaller room 2 beds for 5 people to share from noon till 7pm. The hotel it self is very nice, near to the beach and some splended restaurants near bye. The hotels pool from the pictures looks brilliant do not be deceived by the pictures, it is nice but not at all brilliant. The entertainment show was very poor. The hotel has a massage parlour, you can book an appointment but do not be saddened when you to turn up for the appointment to find no one there. This was not my first visit to Agadir and I have stayed in many hotels around the world with all *ratings, for a 3 * this hotels staff do not give the service one would expect.
