Borjs Hotel Suites & Spa

"So having read a few reviews on this place heres our take. Location is ok, short walk to beach, rooms are clean and cleaned daily. The building has some charm but areas are looking a little tired. The staff have all been very friendly. The price was fairly low so its much as i would expect. The pool is not heated sadly and currently too cold to swim in. Plenty of day trips from here though, thoroughly recommend the dune buggys! Oh we’re pool level and the noise from the poolside speakers was playing till quite late but not too loud with the doors shut, the rooms about and besides us probably make more noise as everything echos with tiled floors."

"Overall, v good value for money. Worth upgrading from standard to deluxe double room for great sea views. Buffet breaksfast great, except coffee from machine - bring coffee bags, and staff will provide hot water for you. Plentiful, moroccon style, european style, ask for cooked eggs or omelettes, done fresh. Rooms ok, but don't expect too much for 4* moroccan - beds comfortable, bathroom clean (and no, no shower curtains in Morocco!). Sat TV with European (but no GB) channels - 2 english language nes sites (France 24 and Al jazeera) - maybe learn some French? Rooms dinly lit, but some like it like that? Corridor lights need o be pushed on walls, they don't come on by motion detection, so if you've low vision, use your phone to find a light button. Had one hour relaxation massage on last day - very under-whelming, masseause put no effort in, and did the old trick of finishing after 50 minutes and quietly leaving the room..thought she'd just popped out, and would return for final 10 minutes, but no...claimed I "fell asleep"..wasn't born yesterday, lady! Unheated pool, so unused in winter, probs ok in summer. Lovely beach 5 minutes walk down hill (go slightly left, not right, to get to quieter, southern end of beach, or if you prefer, right, to get to main agadir beach). Avoid hotel rooftop bar at night, unless you like loud Moroccan disco beats, expensive drinks, and becomes a hangout for rich moroccans and working girls later on..until 2am. If you're on top floor room, near the rooftop bar, sound well insulated with glazed sliding doors at night. Restaurants nearby: avoid Pirates Bar, Bleu, on seafront - over-priced and average food. Worth getting a taxi for best restaurants (haggle hard - to Souk Al Had should only cost 40 dirhams, 10 mins drive, or 35 mins walk). For authentic Moroccan, try bar Tagota (bar food, but VERY local experience and cheap (25 dirham) Casablanca small beers - only men in there, but very welcoming to tourists, even with females! Good food, and dirt cheap is Café Restaurant Ibtissam - mainly locals, plus a few savvy French perhaps - set 3 course meals from 45 dirhams, or a la carte - like most Moroccan restaurants though, no alcohol. Try e-bikes for half/one day - highly recommend Julien at Paradis e-bikes: need a cab from town (he can arrange for 100 dirhams each way) and good Cube e-bikes, from 250 dirhams/day - visit Paradise Valley (suggest e-bike there on back road and eat at local Berber cafe in Tadrine village, which has authentic argan oils for excellent prices) - avoid the souk for argan oil!) and if you have time, return to Julien's Paradis E-bike via Taghazout, a chilled surfie village, with great restaurants along the sea wall/cliff - try not to get wet!. Julien's whatsapp is +33 662017105. Such a friendly, knowledgeable guy! Is French, but gets by in English and other languages ok (tu dosi apprendre l'anglais maintenant. mon ami :-) Use get your guide for quad bike experience, or use a local travel operator - around 300 dirhams for a single quad, 2 hrs in sand dunes near sea, including pickup and return from your hotel, 4 hrs all up, very cool experience!"

"Me and my partner Stayed here for 7 nights. Was fantastic. We had no issues at all. Room was clean and food was good. Close to the beach."
