Dar Maktoub

“Elegant oasis on outskirts of Agadir”

A very lovely and elegant small hotel. Beautiful gardens Meals were elegantly served and delicious. Very clean. Amazing staff. Manu in reception was incredibly helpful to us in planning our day. Could not recommend this more enthusiastically. It’s a very calming and lovely place.

“Wonderful atmosphere and great staff.”

High service and nice attitude from first contact until we left. Quick answers by mail about transfer options from the airport. Nice welcome and quick check in. The room was spacious and clean. Very big and comfortable double bed, duvet and pillows. The garden is beautiful and peaceful and the area around the pool wonderful. To have a drink on the terrace and watch the sunset was heavenly. The restaurant has a wide menu with both international and Moroccan cuisines and the waiter did a great job. Breakfast had everything you needed and the selection was chosen from both international and Moroccan choices. The only thing to take in consideration when booking this hotel is that there is nothing worth seeing, restaurant or shops close by.

“A verdant, peaceful paradise, perfect for birding and relaxation!”

Absolutely stunning! A veritable verdant eden, with palms, hibiscus, bourgainvillea, plus a myriad of other tropical plants surround the stylish accommodation. When my wife and I arrived, we were rather blown away by the full impact of nature meets contemporary lodging. Warmly welcomed by Manu and guided through the peaceful gardens to our room, passing a pristine swimming pool, a few adventurous tortoises enjoying the lawns and the extremely friendly dog, Carter, we knew that we had made the right choice! The room we had booked was a classic double which had everything we needed for our stay, including a giant bed (a king surely?), the best shower that my wife has ever experienced on holiday, and air con. There was also a big TV, but with the natural spectacle on offer just outside the door, we did not use it. We dined in the restaurant and we really enjoyed the veggie tajine. For such dishes they do ask that you order earlier in the day. A real bonus was the cold belgian beer that we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace watching the glorious sunset. All the staff were absolutely fantastic and could not have done more to help. Larby was exceptional and always on hand to assist with drinks, food, you name it! Rachida arranged transfers to and from Agadir and also a tremendous safari into the Souss Massa National Park. This was undertaken by Mohssin (with the pony tail), in his 4 x 4, was excellent value, and we were most fortunate to see dorcas gazelle, addax, scimitar horned oryx and lots of ostrich. A perfect day out and so well organised. To be honest, my wife and I are avid birders and one of the main reasons for choosing this accommodation was the greenery and proximity to both the national park and also the Oued Souss river which passes by. The walk to the mouth takes about 40 minutes or so and the birding is first class! Even at Dar Maktoub itself every bush seemed to have a sardinian warbler in it, there were white storks flying overhead and nesting nearby, bulbuls filled the air with their fluting whistles, and maghreb magpies 'chackled' across the lawns to cool off at the swimming pool. We even saw a long legged buzzard soaring overhead, perfect! Check out was at 12:00 midday, but we were not flying out until 20:40 that evening. The management were very happy to look after our baggage and to allow us to use the facilities until we left later that day. Oh yes, they have a Boule court next to the swimming pool which was great fun! An absolutely wonderful property and I highly recommend to one and all for a most peaceful and enjoyable stay. Thanks so much to everyone at Dar Maktoub!

Really lovely small hotel on the outskirts of Agadir. Our room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were good and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely pool and gardens. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again of we are staying in the area. We had a hire car and the secure parking is a bit of a tight squeeze but we were always able to find a spot to park. This was a great place to stay - like nearly everyone we loved Carter the dog ! The only minor area for improvement would be the coffee at breakfast -everything else is really good but the machine coffee is just a bit ordinary.
