Hotels with Swimming Pools in Ben Guemoud

"Wonderful family hotel; however, it's lacking in simple things like a coffee station in the lobby for parents to relax while children play. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol, and to say it's a Muslim country, this was disappointing. The only food options in the hotel are by the pool and hotel restaurants. Restaurants were not open all day, so that was a no. The poolside restaurant options were not great. This hotel doesn't cater to gluten-free allergies. However, if you bring your own bread, wraps, etc., they were accommodating with making the food. Its a good hotel for young families and the slides make the entire trip worth it for the children. Slide opening times 10am to 1pm Close at 1pm to 3pm Re open between 3pm and 5pm"

"I would strongly advise others to think carefully before booking RIU Tikida Dunas. My stay was extremely disappointing from start to finish. On arrival, the room was not ready and I was initially given the wrong bed. Basic amenities were lacking throughout the stay. I requested an iron from the first day and despite repeated follow-ups, including visiting reception multiple times and receiving a message via the hotel app, I never received one at any point. The most concerning issue was hygiene. There were consistently dirty plates and cups in the dining areas, and I even found ants in cups. Food handling practices were poor on one occasion staff handled pork and then attempted to prepare my food without changing gloves. When challenged, this was not handled appropriately. There was also no clear labelling of food and very limited halal options, which meant I had to purchase food externally despite being on an all-inclusive package. Facilities were not functioning as expected, including drinks machines, and basic toiletries were not provided beyond soap and shampoo, as confirmed by staff in writing. Staff were often unhelpful, dismissive, and difficult to communicate with, with little effort made to assist English-speaking guests. Overall, this experience fell far below expected standards. The combination of poor hygiene, lack of basic services, and inadequate handling of complaints makes this a place I would not recommend."

"Fabulous hotel, staff warm and welcoming and made our stay wonderful. "

"We had great time there perfect location environment lovely staff beds are very comfey room was bit small for us even it says its quadruple room but not a big issue only problem never get sitting for breakfast long queues for waiting ti get table and then times up for breakfast they ve more ppl and small place for dine . Option for food is not alot but its decent . Building is old but they still constructed new area and adding more things would definitely recommend and stay there in future. Nice and clean im very happy over all. "

"The hotel is quite dated. The room was fine, although I had contacted the hotel prior to arrival asking for a cot to be provided. When we arrived there was no cot, they didn’t bring it until gone 10pm which was so late as the baby couldn’t go to sleep until it arrived. They also only provided 2 towels for the 4 of us so we had to ask for that too. Our balcony was huge but it was shared between 3 rooms and so people would just walk past our room so not much privacy. The pool was freezing cold so couldn’t really use it. The gym was really rubbish and shut for a lot of the day. The sauna you had to pay extra for and was only open certain times and my husband got asked to leave because it was women’s session even though no one was in there. The hammam I had was really nice, but the staff didn’t speak English so I had no idea what to do or what was going on. I have had hamman in the past where you can get a massage with it too but they didn’t seem to want to do that, really weird. The kids club, which was mostly the reason why we picked this hotel was rubbish. We went one day and the staff left so we were unable to leave our child there. The next day it was shut and then the last day it was open but no one in there. When I went to seek them out they said they weren’t going in the kids club but would be playing football which my daughter wouldn’t want. It was really rubbish. They should have a timetable like other places and stick to it. The hotel had a good location"

"Really amazing clean resort. "

"The reception area is lovely but the room was tired and the standard of decoration wasn’t great however we only really use the room for a place to sleep. We had a room facing the sea which also faced the main road, we found it to be quite noisy with cars beeping their horns at 3am and people arguing outside. The gym is almost the worst we have used in a hotel. The pool area was nice and the cocktails delicious. Be aware of a trick we found in the hotel bar and other places in Morocco where they say they can’t give you change and ask to keep it. The Padel courts on site were good, you have to pay extra for these. The breakfast was really nice but 2 of the days there was no clean cups or glasses. The person cooking the pancakes kept handling the food then picking her phone up in between which isn’t very hygienic. There are signs saying you can’t take your own food and drink in, we did see people carrying in some bottles water without being challenged. Overall for the price it was acceptable."

"As it was our first time in Agadir we didn't know what to expect.We had booked bed and breakfast so we could get out and about through the day and at night. The hotel chain.Barcelo,was familiar enough to us and seemed reasonably priced. We were greeted by a lovely lot of smiling welcoming faces at reception and the concierge service. unfortunately our room was not ready until near 4 pm so it was a bit if a wait. The room we had was ok. Comfy beds, Air Con not a thing when we were there not sure if it gets ramped up in hot weather? we were surprised to have been given all inclusive wrist bands.It was not mentioned it was an upgrade .We perhaps thought it an oversight? We did enjoy that part of things but generally we thought the food a bit same old same old? Not all food was hot at a buffet style restaurant area... we'd say the lunch seemed a little nicer than evening.Mist of the time was spent looking for cutlery and napkins! We had lunch out and had 4 evening meals outwith the hotel. it's not really an area with British pubs and restaurants so you still have to look about for the type of food you enjoy. Although looked like a few bars selling alcohol were close to the hotel all the music was more Arabic/Moroccan so it didn't really entice us to go in which was a bit disappointing ?Agadir isn't quite catering for Brits abroad just yet.The hotel entertainment was not something we tended to hang about for at night.Overall great to experience Agadir."

"Bed sheets and pillow cases were not clean. Asked receptionist to change them but request was ignored. "
