Pickalbatros Palais Des Roses

Simon Wittridge

Just back from a brilliant week at the Palais des Roses. Top marks to all the staff who were all genuinely friendly, courteous and helpful. Rooms are large, fresh and in good order. Several restaurants including a separate fish restaurant plus numerous snack bars, coffee bar and alcoholic beverages bars etc. The restaurants could be a little busy at times ie lots of people buzzing around but never more than a moment whilst staff cleaned and prepared a table and brought drinks etc. Food choices were good with mix of traditional Moroccan fare and standard hotel buffet food. I don’t recognise the negative comments I have seen on the reviews, but nor am I comparing it to a European 4* hotel, it’s a bit different in some ways which is part of the experience rather than a failing. It’s like saying ‘they don’t do a good cup of English tea’ whereas in fact I got hooked on the sweet minty Moroccan tea which is authentically served by someone wearing traditional clothing, a fab experience; it adds to the charm. Location on the sandy beachfront is first class, with lovely walk to Agadir centre. Swimming is safe on gentle shelving beach, with access to watersports if that’s what you fancy. The hotel organised a camel ride for us which included some Moroccan culture, bbq, music etc. very reasonably priced. Better mention the hotel pool which is 75m long plus a smaller pool and kids water park. Towels are provided and there are plenty of sun loungers. A great holiday overall.

Upon arrival check in took too long we were already very exhausted, it took around 1.5 hours and then the first room wasn’t suitable and the second room was 2 single beds ( for a couple) which the bed was already broken and then the third room we were given was not as nice but we managed, the rooms would often smell very bad or sewage. The cleaners were very nice and did a great job on cleaning but always forgot to replace the towels / toilet rolls ect.. our room telephone didn’t work but that was then sorted straight away. The food is very nice I enjoyed the tagine restaurant, mediterranean was ok not my fave. The main restaurant had many options and the food was good but on many occasion it was repetitive. The dessert had a great range and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My favourite part of the hotel was surely the bakery, we’d often miss breakfast and would come to the bakery for a drink and some danish pastries they were very good! I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the amenities of the hotel as much as there isn’t many things for young couples to do, the aqua park is for children and most entertainment for children.. off peak should have more adults entertainment in my opinion.. personally I think this is a great hotel for families with young children. There isn’t much to do around the area, other than the beach so you can will need a lot of taxis if you wanted to go to places. The locals and hotel staff were very kind always smiling and happy to help. Also a BIG THANK YOU to the maintenance team for going out their way to help us with helping us shave down our painting frames so we could put them in our hold luggage. It’s a new hotel but for a new start I think it’s doing very well - thank you 🙏

Beautiful hotel! Staff are lovely. Only downfall would be is there’s not really any entertainment. Or English channels in the room. My child kept cutting his feet from something in the outdoor pools. Many people where cutting there feet! Food was ok. Not much Alcohol section at all. So wasn’t able to enjoy that side on the holiday. Other than that such a nice hotel. When we return hopefully some changes have been made..

I had a wonderful experience at Pickalbatros Hotel Palais Des Roses and an exceptional stay overall. The buffet locations and all dining areas, including Seafood Blue, were truly outstanding. Special thanks to waitress ( Hajar Mouhouch ) and the rest of the staff, who were attentive and highly professional throughout my visit. Our room was impeccably clean, housekeeping took great care in maintaining it each day, and the food was consistently delicious with a wide variety of options. The overall service from the entire team far exceeded expectations, making every moment of our stay pleasant and comfortable. Our journey at this resort was extremely enjoyable, and I will definitely be returning again and again!!
