Hello everyone, I was vacationing with a girl in Al Moggar from July 12th to 22nd.
I can tell you more about this "amazing" country of Morocco, and about the hotel, I think the info will help future tourists)
About the hotel:
1. Check-in - a bribe will not help when checking into a hotel, because, as the guide Nastya said, they already have rooms painted by last name even before our arrival, so they settle everyone on the first floors, if you want to move to the second, then come the next day and either officially pay extra for the "ocean view", it seems to be about 11 euros per day, or agree on a bribe with the blacks at the reception.
2.

Housekeeping - I can’t say anything bad, because our maid made the beds every day, took out the trash, sometimes washed the floors with bleach, the towels are always clean and white, I never tip the cleaners on principle, because they have to clean anyway them, but here they fed her 2 times in the amount of 5 dirhams, because I saw that the girl was regularly fulfilling her duties, she smiled sweetly for this)
By the way, nothing was lost from the room, but we still hid everything in the safe. I wanted to immediately say to warn you about the safe - when you pay for it at the reception, they will immediately want to heat you up, calculate at 25 dirhams, but I must say "capital tour" then they will count at 15.
by the way, the safe didn’t activate from the code given at the reception, but they didn’t want to do it until they made a scandal, then a normal dude who works there as a technician came and did everything quickly, they didn’t give a tip.
3.
The doors are opened with an electronic card, once we slammed it in the room, the second it simply demagnetized, in both cases they gave new ones at the reception within two minutes without any problems.
4. Food is the same every day, which, however, is not surprising for a hotel for such a relatively low price, I will not describe in detail, because my predecessors described everything well, I will only add that it hurt that in the world famous the country of oranges and tangerines fed us last year from the freezer, probably everyone remembers green tangerines? ))) well, the lack of fruit at dinner just did kill, or their presence, but no more than two watermelon crusts in hand))
5. The impudence of the servants at dinner. We had breakfast + dinner, so we had to drink something for dinner. The hotel has come up with a cunning system - the Moroccan beer "Flag" costs 9 dirhams (0.
33), at the hotel it costs 18 dirhams from the waiters - they even bring a check, you give 20 - 2 dirhams automatically goes to them for tea. Once they ordered 2 beers for 38 dirhams, gave him 200 dirhams, he brings me 150 change, apparently he considered it necessary to take 12 for a tip. After that, we bought a case of beer in Marzhane and no longer pleased these impudent waiters.

I can add that it is best to take a taxi immediately upon arrival and go to Marjane (30 dirhams one way, walk an hour), this is such a healthy supermarket like Auchan, you can buy drinking water with a supply, beer costs 7.75, and there are Moroccan wines inexpensive, we took it on sale, it cost 51 dirhams it was sold for 31, I’ll just add that their wines are all dry for some reason. Bringing everything to the hotel is no problem.
In general, I’ll add that the locals are very eager for tips, they insolently openly demand them for everything.
It’s impossible to ask them anything, how they immediately become attached to you, if they smile kindly, drag you by the hand, like let’s go see you, then they will say let’s present 20 dirhams (give 5)), at the end it already irritated me so much that I’d rather take a taxi and went for the same money. by the way, they consider it an insult to tip 1 dirham, it’s better just to give nothing then. In restaurants 5 percent of the bill.
6. Excursions.
TOURISM IS NOT DEVELOPED THERE! ! !
They are prohibitively expensive compared to the same Turkey or Egypt. I’ll tell you right away that everyone should go to the beach opposite the hotel, right after leaving the hotel on the embankment on the left side of the restaurant there are people who have the main “Petrovich”, he speaks excellent Russian and will offer you everything the same only half cheaper. Or they can still sit on the beach under an umbrella.
It is not clear why there are no elementary boat trips for a small price, in order to go to the ocean I had to buy fishing for unrealistic money, and the fishing itself was only an hour, the rest of the time it was the same boat trip!
7. And finally, about what we came there for - the Atlantic Ocean!
In front of the hotel it is very DIRTY! ! ! ! I don’t understand why no one writes about the most important thing here! At first I also thought that the hotel was located well, but it turned out that it was not. Due to the pier of Marina Agadir, a huge amount of dirt accumulates in the corner of the bay, bags, diapers, socks and the like float. There are an impossible number of blacks on the beach, who are brought there from the very morning on buses, they come with carpets, with tents, unload on the beach. women in veils, in breeches, in black gloves, by the way, they bathe like that.

Everyone constantly plays football, in short, poor tourists have nothing to do there, endless merchants hang around, sell anything.
The ocean is muddy (because so many people swim there). Only later did we realize that we need to walk further along the embankment, towards five-star hotels, where the ocean is more open, and at the very end of the embankment there is clear water and huge waves, as well as fewer people, go - you won’t regret it, get an indescribable feeling from the ocean

The result is this - We looked and that's enough, if I ever go there again, then only in the top five away from the port
