The View Agadir

"We stayed at this hotel for two weeks and can really recommend it, except for the food and the noise (more on this below). The main criticism is the food (except for breakfast): if you are staying for more than just a few days, you should be prepared to eat out, since the cuisine is really not to be recommended. The Italian restaurant serves “ barely cooked” aubergines and dry pasta and is run by a so-called Michelin-starred chef who isn’t one and is light years away from becoming one, and who prefers to play around on his mobile phone on the terrace rather than do his job. The Moroccan restaurant is better, but it didn’t offer any variety during our stay. The menu is straightforward and can be sampled in two to three days without any chance for some variety. The snack restaurant by the pool had a very small menu, which also gives cause for criticism: a quinoa and avocado salad is a tower of mush rather than a salad that you would expect in this setting, the rice in the bowl is much too hard and a real challenge for the stomach, etc. Plenty of room for improvement The beach restaurant aims to offer an interpretation of South American cuisine, but there is a lack of fresh salads, the fish starters could be of better quality, and above all, there is no bread (or similar) to eat with the meal. Imagine a mediocre “ceviche” of squid and prawns (which is a bit strange as a dish) and nothing else. What would South Americans say about this? We couldn't try the bar because it doesn't open until 8.30 p.m. and we would have starved to death by then... Another point of criticism is the volume: music is generally a nice thing, unless several sources are playing at once. This even applies when it is turned off at midnight and a restful silence finally descends, allowing you to hear the crickets in this beautiful outdoor area. However, the music is particularly disturbing when you are in a place like the beach, where you want to relax, and you are bombarded with so much sound that you can hardly talk, let alone relax. We were told that the music system couldn't be turned down, so we left and moved to the pool – a real shame. Now for the positives: the view when you enter is very impressive. You look out onto a really beautiful outdoor area, a very harmonious and neat garden and pool area. The reception was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the towels are changed twice a day if required. Overall, we were very well looked after. We would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make us feel at home. For example, the concierge Mohammed, who organised a meeting room at very short notice for a video conference, and the reception staff, who ultimately mastered the challenge of our various requests. No one was unfriendly or annoyed. We would like to express our special thanks once again to Ms Nouheila, who sweetened the start of our day at breakfast, to Mrs Saadia, who tidied our rooms during our stay and kept an eye on everything that might be missing, and to Ms Lamie, who treated us to all our extra requests. We would like to give a virtual hug to all three of them, who always went above and beyond the call of duty. Conclusion: If you organise your meals outside the hotel and wear earplugs when necessary, you will be in very good hands at The View, especially if you are lucky enough to be looked after by our kind souls."

"We were seated by a guy however about 20 minutes later at about 7.40 pm we were approached by a pretty woman dressed in white and asked to leave the table that it was reserved and we said we had been seated here by her colleague she said ok stay there then in a obnoxious tone. Then we ordered starters and we got the wrong ones but we eat them and waited for the mains and I ordered chicken and baby potatoes I got two tiny chicken thighs but no baby potatoes he said he forgot but would get them quickly, however it took him 40 minutes and I had the little bits or chicken digested and was ready to go to bed at this time at 9.05 pm."

"Our first day at the hotel and it already feels great. We had a lovely dinner at Sensya Restaurant, the food was amazing and the place had such a nice vibe. Big thanks to Siham and Ahmed for their wonderful service, they made the evening even better!"
