Rihab is a complete disaster. Everything that has been written before is true. The hotel is terrible. It's hard to even call it a hotel. It is not clear how the tour operators have the conscience to offer this hotel for sale to tourists, in Agadir there are other triplets much more decent than this squalor. The hotel has 2 wings - one with family rooms, the second under the reception and a club with doubles. We were given a room in this wing, a room even without a mini-kitchen, although there were rooms with kitchens across the corridor, and the hotel was almost empty at the time of our arrival. Moreover, for a week we did not see a single European tourist there except us.
Club) The worst thing is the night club on the 1st floor. This is not just a disco, this is a club for locals, and only men, only national music plays, and live music (mostly drums) plays from 23.00 to 4 in the morning exactly. On the night from Saturday to Sunday, something unimaginable is happening in general.
Our room was on the 3rd floor, but the walls were shaking so that it seemed we were sleeping in a club. We didn't sleep for 10 nights. We fell asleep at 4 in the morning and woke up at 12, we didn’t have the strength to get up for breakfast, especially since there wasn’t much where to get up (more on that below). Earplugs help little. The best way out is to escape somewhere for the night, but the location of the hotel is such that you can’t walk there much. In addition, starting from the evening at the hotel reception, some incomprehensible personalities hang out, local youth, uncles, local girls who do not seem to have very difficult behavior. In the morning there are dirty dishes and rubbish on the tables in the hall, no one cleans it up until the cleaners come. That is, local companies hang out there with might and main at night. It seems that the tourist business is just a cover for a local brothel, rooms for the night or for the evening are definitely rented there. All night long, some types run through the corridors, squeaking doors, knocking heels, and so on.

We got the impression that we were specifically given a room in this wing to make fun of white tourists. All Muslim families lived far away from us.
Location of the hotel) The hotel is located on the very outskirts of the tourist zone of Agadir, that is, at the opposite end from the port, and given that the beach is 14 km away, as the tour guide told us, you need to understand that stomp and stomp to civilization, and even better to go. But this is not the main thing here. The main thing is that the hotel is on the 3rd line, on the 1st Sofiteli, Iberostar and Tikidy, they are perfectly visible from the hotel, and on the 2nd line of construction, abandoned construction sites and wastelands. Local workers, security guards and homeless people live at construction sites and unfinished buildings. After 9 pm it is better not to go outside and take a taxi only. It takes about 15 minutes to go to the ocean by construction sites, and to civilization - the middle of the Agadir embankment - 40 minutes, to the port and Marina - an hour at least.
Food) We took only breakfast, it would be better not to take it at all. Each person is entitled to 1 croissant, 1 boiled egg.
Precisely piece by piece and personally. In thermoses there is tea, coffee (terrible), milk, cocoa powder and an orange scoop freshly squeezed, but diluted with water. On the common table there is a small plate of sliced ​ ​ cheese, sausages (you can’t eat it at all), a bowl of butter and 2 bowls of jams, baguettes in a basket. So every day. This is the whole breakfast. No olives, no pastries, no vegetables, no dairy, no cereal. Nothing. All common plates are covered with cling film. Every morning a sparrow flew in from the yard, sat down on a certain table in the corner and began to calmly have breakfast with a croissant. We went only for the sake of hot tea, because, as I said above, they squeezed us to give a room with a kettle, but we did not fundamentally pay extra and ask.

Other) The room was so-so, but at least not as terrible as everything else. The beds are comfortable, 2 types of pillows. We slept on bolsters. There was a working refrigerator, which helped. We bought groceries for breakfast at the supermarket.
No lighting over beds. Don't read in the evening. There is also no TV remote. A few channels in total, no Russian, there is English, German, French, the rest are local. We didn't watch TV. In the bathroom, everything is working, but worn out, the mirror and taps are stained, the shower holder did not hold, one glass holder was broken. There is no bath, a shower cabin on the principle of a tray and an oilcloth curtain. The furniture is old. There are plastic chairs and a table on the balcony, but everything is covered with a layer of red dust, there are construction sites all around. The furniture is not wiped, in order to sit there or dry your swimsuits, you will have to wash the chair yourself every evening. Cleaned up every day. The trash can is only in the bathroom and is very small, no trash bags. The cleaning lady just took my bags (they were on the chair) and put them in the basket. Settled down nicely. Towels were changed often, but it would be better not to change. Linen in the hotel is gray, old and leaky in places. At least it's clean and thanks for that.
The rooms have a safe but no key. For a safe you have to pay 20 dirhams a day, for 10 days 200 runs. We carried all the money and documents with us, so, fortunately, we have everything intact. We heard a lot of stories about how in other hotels (even in Sofitel Talaso!!!! ! ! ) money is stolen from the rooms, and considering all the nuances of our hotel, we carried everything with us. There is a swimming pool in the yard. But we never swam there, the pool is small and Arab families often splashed there. We wanted to quickly escape from the hotel and the pool did not attract us in any way. Near the reception there is a room where there is an old computer with free internet (which is good), but there is no camera or headphones for Skype. In the evening, it is difficult to break through to the computer, again, incomprehensible personalities occupy it. Russian language by the way is not installed there. The hotel staff often just idly staggers in the lobby. Sits on sofas, tryndit. They obviously don't have a lot of work.
When checking in, the porter could not call the bellhop to take us to the floor. I had to search in the dark for my room and lug my suitcases. For a late check-out they ask for 150 dirhams. We refused and left things in the closet at the reception. Nothing is missing.


In general, we affectionately called the hotel "our homeless". We do not recommend it to anyone. It's just a disaster. The people who lived in the triples of Sud Bahia Argana were very satisfied, even without knowing the realities of our hotel. So if you want to save money go there.
We would very much like our visit to put an end to Rihab's tourist career in Ukraine (which, by the way, is listed as 4 on the vacation website). It's cruel to put people there to make them suffer for their own money. Okay, old, okay, far away, okay, no food, but not sleeping the whole vacation is too much.
