Le Framissima Les Dunes d'Or is a friendly hotel offering "all inclusive" service and is suitable for family holidays. Its major advantage? It is located on the seafront. Many sports are provided under the leadership of a dynamic animation team. The restaurant service is very diverse.

On the long seafront of Agadir Bay, the club is located 1,640 feet from the town centre. To reach the hotel from the airport (located 16 miles away) takes 30 minutes. The Casino of the Mirage hotel is opposite the Framissima.
You have a choice between the rooms with the sea view (36), garden view or view of the swimming pools. The 435 lodgings are categorised into 275 standard rooms, 150 triple rooms, 2 quadruple rooms and 8 suites. Pleasant, but not very spacious (except the suites), they are furnished in a contemporary style reminiscent of boat cabins. The blue is dominant. They are equipped with air conditioning, a safe (fee), direct dial telephone, satellite television with about 10 channels. The bathrooms tiled in white and blue have a bath tub, Fram welcome products and a hair dryer.
Built in 1979 and renovated in 1999, Le Framissima Les Dunes d'Or has 435 rooms and 8 suites organised in pavilions on 2 to 4 floors spreading in a 15-acre park, including a space devoted to sports. At the beginning of your stay you will probably find it difficult to find your way in this club with several levels and maybe even to find your room. If the decor of the Antilles has greatly inspired the building of the reception all in white strips of wood, Morocco is only marginally present. The two swimming pools, including the main one of 8,393 ft², which is heated in winter to 27°C, are the most attractive places to those seeking entertainment. The beach is suitable for those who aspire for more quietness, except during this period of work (February 2008). Brand new (2007), the balneotherapy centre is very well equipped, pleasant and airy. Here is a true and great fitness centre: a doctor is in attendance every morning at 9:30 a.m., there is a lift for disabled guests, 3 Jacuzzis, a large sauna, a hammam, 12 treatment rooms with tadelak walls, hydro - massage, affusion showers... At the "Aéropostale" bar you can sit comfortably and listen to the orchestra in the evening. Enthusiasts will find beautiful black and white photos of an adventure back to this country's mythical past. Almost 400 people may attend the performances in " La Comedie", the theatre on the terrace of the club. Then, everyone is free to continue to the disco adorned in copper and open to outsiders.
4 restaurants offer varied cuisine within the club: the international buffet, "L'Oasis", the Italian restaurant, "Bella Vista", the Moroccan restaurant, "La Casbah", and the fish restaurant, "Cap Sud", preferred by most customers. L'Oasis is divided into two spaces. Choose the large room on the first floor which is larger and brighter because of ?ts many windows. Every night of the week, a thematic buffet is presented. The three restaurants serving a la carte offer set menus or a credit of 80 Dirhams per meal per person. Reservations have to be made before noon the day before. "L'Ecume", the tapas bar, will serve you meals on the beach. At La Casbah restaurant, you can enjoy typical Moroccan dishes, Tajines, couscous, brick, pastilla... However, it is the only restaurant serving "a la carte", which does not overlook the sea.
In February 2008 and until the end of the month, works due to the completion of the parkway near the beach were being carried out so trucks and other vehicles passed continuously from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The promenade was completed by June 2008. The Framissima thus have direct access to the beach and a ramp of 56 feet now. The private club is very well equipped. Sunshades, deckchairs, towels and showers are available. For water sports, the club offers free courses and rental equipment (catamarans, canoeing, kayaks, sailboards). Here as elsewhere on the bay, almost at zero sea level, the sand is fine, golden and regularly cleaned by the town authorities. Note that the wind often blows in the evening.
Le Framissima Les Dunes d'Or is a club perfectly suited to families. It has a baby club for children aged 6 months to 4 years and a mini-club for children from 4 to 9 years. A Junior Club, very spacious and well equipped, takes care of 9 - 12 year-olds. Moreover, a baby area with all the necessary equipment is always available to parents (ask for the key at the reception!). In addition to the tailored animation programs, the Fram meals are served every evening at 7 p.m. for young guests. 14 people form the animation team.
The congress centre, the largest in Agadir, belongs to the hotel. For example, it hosted the Focus on the Tourism conference in 2007.
A partnership with the Golf du Soleil enables customers to get a 10% discount on green fees. A free shuttle can get you there.

Superbe hôtel, personnel très accueillant et sympathique. Chambres spacieuses, modernes et confortables. Propreté impeccable, nettoyage tous les jours. Superbe piscine, petit déjeuner très copieux et très varié. Hôtel les pieds dans l'eau, très fleuri, proche du centre ville (env 15 min à pieds). Plein de commerces, salons de massage à proximité. Beaucoup de prestations sont proposées pour se divertir à l'hôtel, ou en partant de l'hôtel, à des prix très abordables !!! "

Nous avons passé une agréable semaine au sein de l'hôtel cet été, j'y était avec ma petite famille et nous avons été conquis par les prestations. Le room service était nickel, le resto est un vrai plus, de la bonne nourriture et un service de qualité, les animations sont pas mal. Notre seul regret est d'y être allé à une période où la ville d'Agadir est pleine à craquer. Pour résumer l'établissement ne nous a pas déçus, nous y reviendrons certainement dès qu'on en aura l'occasion.

hôtel sympa pour des budgets modérés c'est pas un grand palace mais très convenable; un accueil très sympa une bonne animation un personnel très agréable et un cadre tranquille
accessible à tous les budgets je pense, très bien situé pas excessivement loin du centre et à deux pas de la plage
je n'en voie pas en particulier

En lisant les avis je me demande si je suis bien allée au même endroit. j'adore le Maroc mais je n'avais jamais aussi mal mangé,j'y retourne bientôt mais plus jamais dans un hôtel à touristes comme celui là,je vais dans un riad et j'espère me régaler. Quant à la plage, j'y suis allée 2 fois mais impossible pour moi d'y rester, je me croyais dans une décharge ! j'ai des photos !! petite table et parassol complètement rouillés, pas très chouette comme vue... !j'ai préféré rester sur la pelouse !!
l'emplacement , très bien l'équipe d'animation extra moi qui n'aime pas trop ce style d'hôtel club, j'ai bcp apprécié leurs animations personnel très agréable
la nourriture, je n'avais jamais eu encore de petit déjeuner avec des croissants congelés ou pas frais en tous cas... l'équipement de la plage à l'endroit réservé pour FRAM,

Très joli hôtel très bien situé un voyage super agréable que je compte bien renouveler très rapidement l'animation est au rendez vous du matin au soir avec des éclats de rire au bord de la piscine avec la petite chorégraphie et des jeux de l'apéro toujours très innovant un repas le jeudi génial vu que nous faisions notre anniversaire de mariage en tout cas je remercies tout le monde et je vous invite tous a aller dans cet hôtel et prendre la vue sur la mer.
franchement j'ai que des bonnes choses et de bon souvenirs
je cherche mais je ne trouve pas sauf que c'était trop court

super accueil par l'hôtel dès le 1er jour. La gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel est exemplaire. Les piscines sont très agréables et propres, on ne s'en lasse pas. L'accès à la mer est facile, avec une plage privée et des transats à disposition des pensionnaires de l'hôtel, à noter l'attention à notre bien être par les garçons de plage. C'est dans cet hôtel que mon mari et moi souhaitons revenir à Agadir ! Trop bien !
que du bonheur ! L'hôtel se situe près du centre d'Agadir et en bord de plage, il y a des navettes pour les excursions à Marrakech, et de nombreux taxis sont disponibles.
Je n'en ai pas vu ! dans ce cas il est difficile d'en inventer simplement pour écrire 20 caractères...
The Club Valtur is distinguished by its Sporting Club where you can partake in various sporting activities. The animation team is friendly. Its "all inclusive" service is ideal for those who want to be careful with their budget.
Located on the seafront, the Riu Tikida Beach Golf & Spa is a hotel offering "all inclusive" service of international standard and in a simple and relaxed atmosphere. It is one of the nicest hotels in Agadir.
One of just a select few hotels in Agadir that could justify its five stars (Moroccan stars that is), the Palais des Roses is a quality beachfront property suitable for couples, friends or families looking for a touch of luxury. Although it does not offer an animation programme, it is a full service hotel in every other sense with perhaps the biggest pull being its excellent thalassotherapy centre. It also boasts, however, beautiful public spaces and grounds, good eating options and spacious, well appointed rooms. With several unique features there are probably only a couple of better places to stay in Agadir.
A small, very charming and pleasant hotel. It is ideal for those who want to get away from large tourist complexes. It is also good for both families and couples. A hotel where it is good to rest in a relaxed atmosphere.
Another of the front row hotels, the Atlas is a reasonable option for couples or groups of friends. Although the huge, impersonal lobby and main building are pretty depressing, the rooms are a little better and the public spaces are pleasant enough. While the food here is not one of the hotel's strong points, bizarrely its wellness centre is. There is minimal animation for adults during the day and a small kids club just in case there are children around. Not the most stylish or inspiring of hotels, but a good value for the location.
Right on the waterfront, the Tikida Dunas is a beautiful, new and very well maintained hotel, which offers many activities. Situated in a 12-acre park, almost all of the buildings face the Atlantic Ocean. Ideal for families and all those looking for tranquillity.
Along the main drag, just opposite the beach, this apart-hotel provides basic accommodation for groups of between two and five people. Not especially attractive in terms of its décor or architecture, the Golden Beach does have a decent pool area and the common areas are clean, light and adorned with greenery. Its staff, however, leaves a lot to be desired and its pizzeria serves up pretty average fare. This is one to choose if you are looking for a relatively cheap option that is situated right in the mix of things in Agadir.
Despite being one of the hotels behind the first row of complexes along the coast, the Omega does not deserve to be put in the same bracket as its neighbours. Yes, the immediate vicinity is still largely made up of building sites and vast areas of rubble and wasteland, but the hotel itself is far more pleasant than those around it and enjoys several advantages such as the superior décor, more comfortable rooms, its night club and beach shuttle. It also has some rooms equipped with a kitchenette for those wishing to stay on a self-catering basis as well as family rooms suitable too for groups of friends. If the big boys on the seafront prove a bit too expensive, the Omega could be your solution.
This is by far and away the best hotel in Agadir. It is the only world class property in the resort and it beats every other hotel hands down in pretty much every way, from the design to the service and from the dining to the wellness facilities. Its beachfront location, away from the tacky tourist centre of Agadir, makes it the only place to consider for a truly relaxing luxury holiday. One could reproach the hotel for the size of its standard rooms, but they are immaculately appointed and both comfortable and functional. Also perfect are the hotel's grounds and public spaces which means that you probably will not have the remotest desire t to leave this heavenly complex. Although children are welcome at the Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa, the property is more suited for couples.
The only charming hotel in the Agadir seaside resort. Compared to most of the city's club hotels, the Riad Villa Blanche is in a category all its own. Here, calm, tranquillity and refinement are the keywords. A place to relax in a cosy atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of Agadir.
The older of the two Sofitels in Agadir, the Royalbay is, together with its sister hotel, head and shoulders above all other hotels in the resort in pretty well every aspect. With the exception of the newer of the pair of French properties, the Royalbay's architecture and design is unparalleled as is the standard of the service, food and facilities. The guestrooms are spacious and extremely well appointed, the public spaces are impeccably maintained and you will not find a smarter kids club anywhere. As well as enjoying a beachfront location the hotel also boasts a quiet spot along the bay, away from the chaos of the tourist centre. The one thing we were surprised about is the lack of privacy on the terraces and balconies of the rooms, especially the most expensive.
Here you are entering one of the most beautiful hotels in Agadir, which is set apart by its location: far from the beach, outside Agadir, but on a 36-hole golf course and with a superb spa. The surroundings here exude peace and luxury. Opened in February 2007, the Riad combines Moroccan and contemporary styles. It's a shame the restaurant isn't up to the same standard.
There is no doubt that the Atlantic Palace is one of only a handful of hotels in Agadir to be truly of an international standard. Of an impressive scale, the hotel boasts smart, spacious rooms and suites, well kept and pleasant public spaces, a wellness centre worthy of the name and a good choice of quality eating concessions. The décor and design is head and shoulders above most other properties as is the staff and of course the location, being situated just across the road from the beachfront. Whether travelling as a couple, family or group of friends, if it is quality you are after then few places can top the Atlantic Palace - it should definitely be in your short list.

Without a doubt the best of the second row of hotels in Agadir, the Timoulay is a very pleasant hotel indeed, suitable for couples, small families or even groups of friends looking for value for money but not necessarily worried about being right on the beach. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed, the décor is in good taste, the food is reasonable, the staff personable and the spa, unlike so many of its neighbours', actually resembles a spa. The hotel is also fairly quiet and intimate and is a place that one may well choose to relax in rather than head out to the beach or the town. The Timoulay certainly gets our seal of approval!
