El Pueblo Tamlelt

Overall, we had a great stay. The hotel was excellent, with a lovely swimming pool, delicious food, and outstanding staff who were always friendly and helpful.

The room was also very clean, and housekeeping did a great job. However, the furniture and facilities inside the room felt quite old. The bed, doors, and other fittings could do with some updating. The TV also didn't have a remote control, so I had to get up every time I wanted to turn it on or off or change the channel.

These are only small points, as the room was spotless, but I think renovating some of the room facilities would make the overall experience even better.

Staff are friendly

We have just got back from a week in el tamlet Agadir just myself & 15 year old daughter and what a shambles I wish I never went tbh!
The transfer from the airport I ended up having to tip a random man that took my bags thinking he was part of the transfer he wasn’t just money money money mad.
The location was great but around the hotel was dated and needed a good painting and bleaching.
The atmosphere and vibe made our holiday the entertainment staff work endlessly to make everyone have the best time.
Becraful at night outside the complex isn’t safe at all.
I wish I could say I would go back would I wouldn’t please read the reviewed before booking at you might be as disappointed at us

Where do I even start… This was honestly a holiday from hell! The rooms are extremely outdated and dirty. Toilet doors have weird wooden doors with holes so everyone can hear and smell your business! There are no air vents or air conditioner in the room, so you have to keep your rooms doors open to create a draft and air ventilate.. There is no mini fridge for cold drinks at evening. There is no hair dryer in the room either… You can get it, but you MUST queue outside a guess relations window at 8am in the morning! The food is mediocre at best.. Very tasteless and bland, and there are always people queuing up for one thing.. The pool water is always disgustingly dirty full of plastic cups floating around and nobody’s bothering to clean it. There are multiple bars to get drinks from, but they are all closed and only one side is kept open so again.. There are massive queues everywhere. The bar staff is also actively ignoring you at the bar, for whatever reason.. Unless you give them a tip, then they will bring you drinks down to where you are sat at… The reception staff is awful and very unhelpful. We asked about hair dryer and clothes ironer on our first arrival day, and was told that they didn’t have any in hotel and to go buy from shop. Later, I believe one of the managers that we met, told us there is but you need to take it out with deposit from guest relations kiosk… There was no bottled water provided in our room, and unfortunately i got an allergic reaction to tap water and had to go to pharmacy to get treatment and medication..

We have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at El Pueblo Tamlelt in Agadir.

The first thing I would say is to judge this hotel for what it is: a 3-star all-inclusive resort. If you arrive expecting five-star luxury, you will probably be disappointed. If you arrive with realistic expectations, there is plenty to like.

Our room was basic but clean, with housekeeping visiting every day. The bed was comfortable, and the en suite shower and toilet were perfectly adequate. We had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

One of the biggest advantages is that El Pueblo Tamlelt shares its facilities with the neighbouring hotel. Between them there are four swimming pools, the main buffet restaurant and two additional restaurants that can be booked daily while still being included within the all-inclusive package. The food is exactly what you would expect from an all-inclusive resort: freshly prepared in large quantities rather than fine dining, but with good choice and enough variety across the week that we always found something we enjoyed.

A useful tip for future guests: if you look after one of the waiters with a generous tip on your first day, the service for the rest of your stay is excellent. We never had to wait for a table and our drinks were often brought to us at meal times.

The entertainment team deserves real praise. They work incredibly hard throughout the day and evening, creating a fun atmosphere without being overbearing. We also found the staff to be friendly and able to communicate confidently in English and French as well as Arabic.

Wi-Fi is available across the resort and worked well in the public areas, although the signal does not yet reach every room.

There are shops on site selling souvenirs and holiday essentials, and the vendors were happy to let us browse without any pressure to buy, which was refreshing.

The hotel's location is also a real plus. Agadir beach is only a short walk away, and there are plenty of reasonably priced shops, cafés, bars and restaurants nearby if you fancy a wander outside the resort. We also felt very safe doing so. We have been on holidays elsewhere in the world where we were reluctant to go off resort, but that could not have been further from our experience here.

Our only slight hiccough came on the first morning when trying to meet our holiday representative. Because the resort is effectively two hotels sharing one complex, there was a little confusion about where we should go. It was quickly resolved the following day and did not really affect our holiday.

One practical tip: bring your own beach towels. Room towels are not allowed around the pools, and although towels can be hired from the resort kiosk, it is only open from 10am until midday, Monday to Saturday. Packing your own is much easier.

The bar offers a fairly limited drinks selection — one bottled beer, a couple of cocktails and the usual soft drinks — but the bar staff are friendly, efficient and welcoming.

One final note for UK visitors: do not assume zebra crossings work in quite the same way as they do at home! Traffic seems to have a rather more flexible interpretation of pedestrian priority, so cross carefully and confidently once you spot a suitable gap.

Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay. El Pueblo Tamlelt is not pretending to be a luxury hotel, but it is clean, friendly, well run and good value for money. If you are looking for a relaxed 3-star all-inclusive resort in a good location, it is well worth considering. We would happily return.

staff are unhelpful, place is dirty and not been updated in years. there is no privacy when using the toilet as people in the bedroom can see and hear everything. looks nothing like the pictures and definitely not a 3 star hotel.

Location is good rep team is fantastic everything else downhill, Hotel is Dated, Dirty, old fashioned and,I’m suprised onthebeach still offers this hotel on there system, As a family of 10 we had 5 rooms, 2 of our party had to be moved immediately due to smell and dangerous balcony of rooms they got issued, old fashion televisions which the young ones of our group were amused by and had no idea why they had no remote control, showers head broken, toilet system broken we got fed up reporting for them to fix and be broken again soon after, The bedding sheets were not changed once in our 7 night stay even with us asking it was blanked, The bites we have come home from will back this up, having to purchase bug sprays for rooms,beds and skin was also and unexpected expense,the pools I hated the fact the smaller pools for younger children were a home to all kinds of birds at night god only knows what babies/young children were swallowing next day in pool, lots of cockroaches also
Food was repetitive everyday breakfast lunch and dinner with same Temperature of cold to warm Thank goodness for McDonalds and KFC delivering to hotel and Maxwells pub next door,which we all lived on for 7 days/nights only All inclusive I have ever been to where you just couldn’t eat what was on offer as was always cold to warm, ice cream & ice lollies were not on offer unless you purchased them not even as a pudding was there any hint of ice cream,custard, or rice, big disappointment when you gave children
Only thing I would say this hotel has to offer is a fantastic security Guard and Reps were brilliant, when people say you get what you pay for, this did not even apply to this hotel, and speaking with lots and lots of holidaymakers on site from different parts of the world we all had the same thing in common. This hotel was not fit for purchase

Location is good. I arrived on my own at night and was shown to my room, I instantly regretted booking this hotel. The room was dark, dated and unwelcoming. It didn’t feel very safe I was on the first floor. The door was very flimsy and the balcony doors are easily pushed open even when locked. The room was clean-ish. The noise is ridiculous.. super thin walls. My next door neighbours came back late to their room every night clearly drunk banging on doors. Sounded like they were trying to kick down their door because they lost their key. Arguing. Not pleasant to be woken up to at 2am. The seagulls are stupidly noisy too waking me up every morning at 5am. (Can’t be helped but was very annoying!) safe box in room but no key to use it. The tv was an old style tv with no plug socket near it to watch it. The toilet flush broke. The shower was leaking water everywhere when switched on. No hairdryer in room. No fridge in room. Had a couple cockroaches in the room. The staff I encountered were friendly.. apart from bar staff, they were rude and ignorant. I went to the bar the first night I arrived an didn’t bother using it again. The drinks tasted weird and I was sick that night, I wasn’t drunk either just obviously didn’t agree with me. Barely ate in the restaurants either… the choice was poor. And quality poor. I ate out everyday although I was all inclusive. Wish I hadn’t bothered with all inclusive. Overall I wouldn’t book again. There are much nicer hotels nearby I would choose one of those next time.

We were lucky as we did not overpay and knew it was going to be basic and needed renovation. But a lot of other people paid double or triple to what we paid. And they hated the hotel.
Food was always cold. Salad bar was big.
Hotel needs so much work.
Beds hard. Pillows like rock. Basic room. Was cleanish. Only 1 towel left for 2 people.
Pool bar attracted idiots!! And tips were constantly given to bar staff to get served quicker.
Booze was vodka gin rum whiskey beer. Mixers were warm or watered down.
Staff were pleasant but put up with a lot of moaning people. Management were never around which meant the poor waiters were left to deal with complaints.
So if your paying around 400 pounds per person with flight then your getting what you paid for. You will be very disappointed if your pay more.

Where do we start. Arriving at the airport, where the porters were very helpful and escorted you to your transfer area. Don't forget to leave a tip.
A quick 35 min transfer to the hotel, and on arrival you might think what have I chosen here. We did. We were earlier than our check in time, but managed to get our wristband, so we left our bags behind reception, and made our way to get something to eat and a drink.
If you like rice, pasta and salad then you maybe happy here because that is available for breakfast lunch and dinner. But after suffering for 2 days with a dodgy stomach, I wouldn't.
The last 3 days we ate out or ordered food in as it was a risk we didn't want to take anymore. Luckily the pharmacy over the road helped.
The rooms are outdated, with air conditioning that worked when it felt like it. Reception wasn't particularly helpful there. It just came back on after it had had a break haha.
But for the price, they were kept reasonably clean tbf, because you've paid for a budget holiday, not a stay at the Ritz.
Each morning was welcomed with a cloudy start off the ocean, but it was still warm and tanable. Around lunchtime the clouds cleared to leave blue skys and red hot sun. Around June apparently this is the norm.
The pool areas were great, well depending which one you stayed around. The quieter ones away from the pool bar was lovely, peaceful and relaxing. However the main pool with bar with people tanked up and music blaring at was a different atmosphere all together, where to catch some relaxing rays wouldn't have been possible.
I watched the lifeguard daily, walk around between pools, good chat with the punters and watched several times to him jumping in the pool and helping people learn to swim, which was good of him.
There was also turtle man on site, who wouldn't let you walk past without looking at them and grabbing a picture. Very friendly.
There is a shop on site which only took cash, however just outside there was plenty of supermarkets which took card.
The sandy beach is literally a 5 minute walk away, however you will get harassed by people along the beach trying to sell you something or other. And all the local shops will try and drag you in, because they all have the best prices lol.
The walk along the beach towards the main beach area is lovely, especially with the sunset and the mountain lit up.
Yes I would return to Agadir but not this hotel

L'endroit

Good for adults sun beer n fun and pools choices. Golf from 1950 tennis courts from 1965 clay! Beer ok all abusive. People really nice though. Linen no softener. Showers never washed scrubbed or cleaned from fitted in 1985. Pots n plates not clean. Food repetetive and tired. Kids entertainment not very much and dire tbh but they was happy with pool no slides. Close pool quite erli. Really liked the place and the culture and experiencing that and there dances. Weather great. People we met great friend from gb will be friends for life. Would go back without kids and upgrade to better room. Money talks so fast service and upgrades get your dirham out haha. We all enjoyed it including 4 kids because not been abroad but I’ve booked Benidorm with 20 slides and real English good kids entertainment for march.
Cleanliness 1/5
People 4/5
Entertainment 1/5
Weather 5/5
Pools 3.5/5
Value for money 2/5
Culture and bartering 4/5
Next time will try marakech and would love to go bk without kids one day in few years maybe :)

I am not the one to complain and always read the reviews and make up my own mind.
I have to say the reviews are spot on, the place is tired, dated and very dirty. A good slick of paint and money well spent on it would certainly work wonders.
The food omg, absolutely disgusting, cold every single no matter what it was. It was my first time with food poisoning. The menu for breakfast is the same every day as well as the lunch and dinner.
I would have gave one star but the staff were amazing.
I won’t be back as this for me, was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.
The owners need to wake up and wise up as the hotel has potential with the right funding spent in it and have a word with the kitchen. As they need to go back to school to learn how to cook.

The hotel was average i wasn't expecting it to be luxurious for the price but I wasn't expecting the bar staff to be so rude and because of nowhere else to go they can get away with it I'm sure I'm not the only one that had this issue

Room:
toilet that didn’t flush despite 3 call outs
Heater hanging off the wall
Balcony covered in bird poop
Floor absolutely filthy
Slated toilet door
No internal doors so privacy out the window
Balcony door didn’t stay closed

Pool:
only decent thing about the hotel
Damaged tiles smashed around the kids pool though and took 3 days to clean up and fix
Sun brollies nearly all broken and rusty

Food/Drink:
Absolutely disgusting and I wouldn’t even feed a dog it. No need to book the Morocco restaurant they’ll just feed you the same food a day later in the standard restaurant.
Not many options in alcohol drinks

Staff:
Reception and maintenance do not hurry themselves at all. Choose when they understand English
Restaurant staff useless and rude.
Pool bar staff are brilliant
Entertainment not great but they do try. Very repetitive for kids
NO LIFEGUARDS!!!

Ground of hotel:
Very unstable and unsafe to walk without tripping. There is ramps for wheelchair but it would be like climbing Mount Everest as they are so steep. No chance of mobility disabled getting in the pool.
Tennis courts, crazy golf etc are stuck in 1960

They say get what you pay for but I’ve had better for cheaper so to me it wasn’t worth the money.

nothing i
