Pickalbatros Palais Des Roses

We visited in November 2025. Temperature was 15⁰C to 30⁰C with sporadic clouds. Beautiful hotel with direct access to promenade and private hotel beach area. All facilities are excellent. The food is lovely and 4 restaurants cater for all tastes, in addition there is a pool bar and a 24 hour bakery. The staff are attentive, helpful and always there when needed. Being on the seafront there was always a breeze which was a welcome relief at times. Rooms are the usual en suite style, ours had a balcony overlooking the pool area. Other rooms had a private pool area with swim up rooms. Being on the beach it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but this is easily accessed by a quick taxi ride. The main lounge area is massive and good for just relaxing after evening meal. Plenty to keep kids entertained and music/show each evening for all tastes. Roughly 30 minutes from Agadir airport by taxi which was complimentary with our booking. A fantastic holiday and exceptional value.

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.

We just returned from a 10 night stay at Pickalbatros Palais Des Roses in Agadir. (Nov 2025) Our stay was amazing and this hotel provided an exceptional service. Upon arrival they took care of our luggage while we checked in and was provided with mint tea during the process. We paid the city tax 560mdh / around £47 & was given wrist bands & towel tokens. As our room wasn't ready (prior to check-in time) we were advised to head down to the Culina Restaurant for lunch. Breakfast, lunch & dinner always offered a variety of dishes full of flavour & spices which was always presented well. Plus we felt spoilt for choice with 4 restaurants on site and making a booking for the Blue restaurant was simple & straightforward. Drinks flowed freely and if we were peckish outside of restaurant opening hours, there was always an assortment of delicious cakes and buns in the bakery, or the Food Court for scrumptious pizzas, pasta dishes, chips, salad and ice-cream. The staff work tirelessly to provide an exceptional service; from the Chefs, Servers, Maids, cleaners, groundsmen and security. Massi, a server during breakfast and lunch is like gold to this hotel. His efficient, happy & joyful demeanor exceeds your expectations. We watched him look after every tourist with such care and attention to detail. The staff also keep the entire hotel in such immaculate condition. If you had a problem in your room, they attended to it and resolved the issue within minutes. Our room was cleaned and towels were changed daily. The only thing that we noticed was the lack of evening entertainment or that it started too late... but that is a minor, in the grand scheme of things and what the hotel provides. 🇬🇧

A great range of food across the main 3 restaurants. The Blue restaurant is solely fish based. Not the best protein options for my vegan girlfriend however. Otherwise the food was fresh and good. The facilities are great, the pools, slides for kids, the gym etc. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool. The floating sun loungers were a highlight of fun for me. The staff were all fantastic. The room. Very nice and spacious. But bring slippers for the tiled floor as they were damp from the air con. No iron or ironing board sadly. Direct access to the beach as well via a game guard and there is a roped off area on the beach to sun bath.

Amazing experience! The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I loved the variety of restaurants, from traditional Moroccan food to seafood and more. The hygiene and quality of the meals were excellent, and I truly appreciated that the chefs prepared special meals for my 8-month-old baby. The swimming pools are large, beautiful, and well-maintained, with lifeguards always present, which made me feel safe and comfortable. The staff were kind, professional, and always helpful. The evening entertainment was great too. I really felt at home during my stay, and I can’t wait to come back again. Thank you to the whole team for making our vacation unforgettable!
