Pool

On arrival at check in its a bit chaotic,staff herd you away from the reception and provide forms and pens to fill in,no welcome,no drink no friendly hello.
A bit of a disappointing start after a lot of travelling.

We were eventually checked in and given an upgrade to a side sea view,not sure this was a 'better' room as it was along way from the amenities and the balcony didn't get any sun  in the day.

The gardens are well kept but the pool suffers with noise and loud music most of the day,to the point it becomes unbearable.We went for walks and to the beach to avoid it.
There are pool rules but they are not enforced and so many guests reserve sun beds from early morning and staff turn a sly blind eye because they receive a tip!....

The room was clean,large and well furnished with lots of storage.
The bathroom with large walk in shower was spacious.
The towels were old and thin.
The beds ,two twins pushed together were firm and the pillows like sand bags had seen better days.
There was a fridge but it was empty and therefore pointless.
Housekeeping are late to service rooms,one day at 2.30 our room still hadn't been cleaned even after 5 hours of being out.
So no fresh towels or bed and a long trek to reception because nobody answers the phone at reception!

The restaurant is canteen style,self serve with many dishes without labels,which doesn't support anyone with allergies.
The choice of dishes was large,but many supposedly hot dishes were just warm.
The quality of the meat wasn't good,it was chewy from the live cooking stations.

The cooks at the live cooking stations were surly and refused to cook a poached egg at 7.30 am when they were standing around and it was quiet.
All three were asked again by reception and all refused.
Eventually the head chef appeared and offered to cook some....

The worst is still to come,because they had added cola to the red wine bottle and poured this when asked for a glass of red wine!!
Disgusting practice,and downright outrageous.

It was brought to the attention of the hotel manager who asked all levels of staff in the restaurant including the restaurant manager and all told the same story acknowledging it was mixed and that the 'guest wanted it'.................!

Shockingly bad practice and based on this alone we will not return to this hotel. Staff are unprofessional with a very poor attitude towards guests.
They acknowledged their error and put a bottle of sparkling wine in our room,which if we wanted could have had from the bar because it was included.
This no way compensated us for a spoiled meal experience and potential health issue. We left it unopened,never to return.

The score is based on the overall environment,location and room comfort,if it was based on food it would be zero.

Can do better, awkward staff and cola premixed in the red wine bottle.

We arrived and was checked in swiftly, guest relations were very friendly and helpful they had even found my lost water bottle as no bottle water is provided. 

We asked for a special room as it was my friends birthday and I was told of course but it was nothing special as it overlooked the basketball court, but we had no intention of sitting on the balcony so that was ok. 
Animation were all lovely especially the new ones dino and TikTok, very funny and helpful. The lady at the bar is lovely and helpful. The snack bar is amazing and great for lunch also . 
I would rate this hotel as outstanding, except the sun loungers need jet washing but I did pass this information on . 
I’d be very careful with the taxi drivers outside and not pay above 30 dirahms for a city trip as they really try it on. 
The lady doing henna is better than the one I visited as the Kasab. I Will definitely return as I felt so welcome . Thank u for a great time .

Amazing

The founty beach hotel is beautiful. The  beach it's on is lovely too. Gardens and bar areas are nice and the room is great. However, the pool layout didn't work for us. All the beds are stuck together with the animation team yelling into the mic or playing loud music most of the day and there is nowhere to sit to escape it. The evening entertainment is mostly the same, so boring after a few nights. The food/drinks were lovely, wi-fi was good and there was a few English film channels which I loved. A good cheap holiday for those that don't mind a noisy/busy pool area.

Good visit - few dislikes.

Great hotel,especially massive thank you for the  housekeeper who every day cleaning ours room. She brililiant!Rooms large size and bathroom too with nice balcony. The big good point for the hotel is security,very safely especially when you stay with kid's .Also inside and outside hotel the cleanr staff working hard keep shine and sparkly the public area. 
A'la carte  restaurant brililiant service they do wonderful hospitality. Massive thank  guy's you make my daughter brililiant birthday and the lady who made the birthday cake. 
Food is good only the sweets section put down and moijto!Sorry but this is not moijto just rum and lemon juicy. 
Thank you for your hospitality especially from my daughter for fantastic time celebrate her 15th birthday. We definitly recommend your hotel.

Agadir

First impressions are a bit of a let down with an unwelcoming attitude at the reception desk on arrival.
You get shooed away to fill in forms long hand!,no drink offered or anything offered, just paper and pen,all a bit dated.

The room was apparently an upgrade,at the farthest point from all amenities,a trek to everything.
It had a side sea view and was at least peaceful.
It was nicely furnished with lots of storage and good lighting after we plugged the lamp in!

The beds,two pushed together were quite firm and the pillows sloppy.
There is no turndown service but housekeeping for some reason had entered our room on the first evening, which we found disturbing.
There are also no bathrobes or slippers provided.
Towels are old and thin.
The shower was good.

The buffet restaurant offered a large choice of food with few labels,anyone wanting gluten free or had a nut allergy it would be a nightmare, spoons were muddled and cross contaminated etc etc.
Food was just warm not hot and cooks at the meat and fish station didn't try to keep it hot.

The worst bit,staff put cola into the red wine,even the restaurant manager accepted it as normal practice.
The staff all told the same story 'its what the guest want',utter nonsense,they were diluting wine with soft drinks!

I asked for two  glasses of red wine at dinner,not a mention of cola,but they all lied to cover up.

Just completely unacceptable.Its alarming because what other awful tricks are they up to.
One manager gave an insight (Hammam) who said"they don't need to do that here".
Ummm they should not be doing this anywhere,its a basic health and safety standard.

Staff were surly even before this, refusing to poach an egg when all three cooks at breakfast frying eggs, omelettes etc were standing around and not busy cooking anything.
They have an awful awkward attitude to guests,its not a translation or pronunciation issue because they were asked in french.They were just difficult and eventually the head chef intervened and offered to cook them,after a twenty minute wait just to poach an egg!

The only staff that were friendly and efficient were two young bar waiters working in the evening,who ran around serving and wiping tables,the bar man was surly, perhaps more to females than males was noticed.
He served men before women despite being in a queue and really couldn't care less.
Once the bar waiters started working service improved because they brought drinks/ coffee to the table.

The gardens were attractive and manicured,but the pool area was too noisy.
The whole pool suffers from loud noise most of the day and you either need to use ear plugs, headphones or move away from it because it is unbearable and relentless.
There are sun loungers on the beach but these need a deep clean because they are filthy.

I'm not convinced it was value for money because once you arrive you will find many hotels all along the promenade,so lots of competition.
We walked out every day to the harbour, shops, cafes etc and we received excellent service in these local establishments so its not a pronounciatiin issue as they make out at this hotel,its the hotels staff poor attitude which needs addressing through retraining, supervision and monitoring.

Staff Diluted red wine with cola,just wrong on every level beware!
