⭐️⭐️⭐️ Caribbean Village Agidor my honest (long) review 😂 Right, let’s be honest… I’m giving this place 3 star from my personal experience. Before anyone comes for me, I knew exactly what I was booking. It was a cheap little family getaway, it’s an old and very outdated hotel, and I wasn’t expecting the Ritz for the price we paid. 😂And honestly, some of the reviews I’ve read make this place sound like you need a tetanus jab just to walk through the front door. It really isn’t THAT bad. 🤣
The good stuff The staff are genuinely lovely. Pretty much everyone we came across was friendly, polite and welcoming. The entertainment team were really friendly and made an effort, and the lifeguards always saying good morning and making you feel welcome. Little things like that do make a difference.
We actually had an issue with our first room because we needed working air con for our 5 month old baby. We asked to move rooms and to be fair, they sorted it straight away with absolutely no fuss.
🫠 The not-so-good stuff
The cleanliness definitely needs some attention.
There was dust absolutely everywhere, particularly along the skirting boards and on the flooring. Not just a tiny bit of dust either — the kind where you start wondering if the skirting boards have been personally offended by a feather duster. 😂
Our patio doors also didn’t lock, which I really wasn’t comfortable with, especially having a baby and toddler with us.
The bar is another one. There are only two people serving, so it can be painfully slow. It’s basically whoever shouts their order loudest gets served first😂
BUT… the two staff working there were lovely and clearly doing their best. I honestly think they just need more people behind the bar rather than blaming the staff who are already run off their feet.
The air con in the new room worked for approximately one day before deciding it had also had enough of the holiday. 😂
We were told someone would come and fix it… and told again… and again… but sadly the air con repair man appears to be a mythical creature because we never actually saw him since he said he would come back the following day 9am. 🤣
The toilet cleaners, however… 😬
They seemed to spend approximately 17 hours a day mopping the exact same 2ft² of floor and would tut if you dared to interrupt their sacred mopping ritual by actually needing to use the toilet. 😂
🍕 Food
We actually didn’t eat at the hotel, so I can’t comment on the food and won’t pretend otherwise. We did however find a really nice chicken shop just outside that does chicken, kebabs, pizza etc. We ended up bringing a takeaway back to the hotel few nights and really enjoyed it.
And Restaurant Camels on the beach… WOW. Absolutely unbelievable food and customer service. Genuinely one of the highlights for us and I would highly recommend giving it a go.
Would I go back? Personally, no.
But would I tell people to avoid this place like it’s Chernobyl? Absolutely not. 😂
I’m a bit of a holiday snob, so I’m probably not the best person to ask if I’d happily return to an outdated 3 star hotel. 🤣 But I also think it’s important to be realistic. This is a budget hotel, it’s old, it’s tired and it has its problems. You really do get what you pay for. Was it perfect? Absolutely not Would I give it 5⭐️? Not a chance. Did we survive? Yes. 😂 Were the staff lovely? Absolutely! For a cheap family getaway, it was okay. If you go expecting luxury, you’re going to have a very bad time. If you go knowing it’s an older, budget hotel and adjust your expectations accordingly, you’ll probably be alright…Not a hell hole. Not luxury. Just a tired old hotel that could definitely do with some TLC, more staff behind the bar and, apparently, a visit from someone who has actually discovered the existence of a duster. 😂
AVOID dirty and not safe
This hotel is discussing Avoid, only reason it gets 1 star is because it’s in a good location. The hotel is out dated throughout the swimming area has old chairs, the lobby/ reception area is the only place you can get WiFi if it works. The chairs in the lobby are dirty and ripped. And the tables are dirty. The apartments are awful the key to open the door took a lot of turns to get in open the balcony is un safe it’s made out of old wood and it’s not secure. Opening the door to the balcony the handle fell off in my hand on the first use. The beds are also disgusting and they were being propped up underneath.
I booked a 4 night stay and checked out after 3 hours and found an alternative hotel. If your looking for a hotel in a clean and safe environment don’t waste your time.
Close it down. Dump
Myself and my family spend a horrible week there in mid August. Where do I start. The girl on reception clearly hates her job i though maybe because it was late she tired but no the other two times during the week she was equally unhelpful and very unpleasant. The room was damp, old and completely outdated plus disgustingly gruby. Bed sheets were not changed for the week possibly the same sheets from last guests as there were marks and dampness on it the room was smelly the back ground door only closed sometimes. The pool area was dirty and falling apart, missing tlies, cracks, broken here and there. The food hall staff were very nice more so the waiters the food handers were rude. The food its self was what I would imagine prison food would be like. It was always overly busy with long ques. The entertainment staff were lovely and friendly bare one called max/david was highly inappropriate with sexually innuendos towards myself and insulting comments towards my wife all in front of our 7 year old son. I have no problem with anyone's sexuality but I do when someone is highly inappropriate. The pool bar and staff were shocking it felt like episode of banged up abroad. Overall a kip/dump avoid. Morocco is nice we would go back but not to that s**t hole hotal. It should be closed down...please read this and more reviews again avoid avoid avoid...
Review by DCAL18 Ireland
An HONEST review.
An HONEST review of the Caribbean Village Hotel 🇲🇦
I’ll start by saying: take some of the negative reviews with a pinch of salt. I think the problem with a lot of reviewers is that they’ve booked a relatively cheap holiday and expected a 5⭐️ hotel. If that’s your mentality, then yes, you’re probably going to be disappointed.
The hotel is definitely a little run-down and outdated. The rooms aren’t the best, but they are completely habitable and cleaned every day. Some of the balcony views are absolutely beautiful.
If you’re booking a family room, be aware that the bunk beds are a little rickety. We ended up taking the top mattress off and putting it on the floor because we’re adults and didn’t trust it 🤣 For a small child, though, they would probably be absolutely fine.
There’s no lift access to the rooms, so if you have a disability or limited mobility, make sure you mention it when booking so you can be allocated an accessible floor.
🏊♀️ The pools
The pools are great. There are several to choose from and they were clean and well maintained during our stay. There are also plenty of water activities throughout the day to keep everyone entertained.
And keep an eye out for Cappuccino, the camel who lives on the resort! 🐪 If you give his owner a little tip, he’ll let you sit on him and take photos. He’s a lovely guy!
🛍️ The resort
The resort itself is HUGE and has loads of shops. Most are cash-only, but there’s one shop by the pharmacy that takes card payments. He also sells SIM cards and will register them for you.
DO NOT get a SIM card at the airport. We were told they’re a rip-off and that some are cut off after 24 hours.
There are also little panini and crêpe bars around the resort that take card payments, and there’s currency exchange available at reception.
One thing to be aware of is the hotel tax. When booking, it says £29, but it doesn’t make it particularly clear that this is per adult, so we got a bit of a shock when it came to paying!
🍕 The food
I’m going to be honest… I thought the food was sh!t😂
But food is completely subjective, and other people seemed perfectly happy with it. There is a little panini bar on the resort which is really cheap and honestly saved the week for me.
The all-inclusive drinks also come in TINY cups. 😂 However, if you buy one of the bigger cups from the souvenir shop, the bar staff are more than happy to fill it up for you. 😉
🐈 If you love cats…
You are absolutely going to LOVE this place! 😂
There are cats and kittens EVERYWHERE, and most of them are incredibly friendly.
BUT PLEASE sanitise your hands after touching them. Some of them are clearly quite poorly. I’m immunosuppressed and unfortunately learned this the hard way, so please be sensible if you’re vulnerable to infections.
💃 Entertainment
The staff are all extremely friendly and attentive, and the animation team are fantastic.
The entertainment, both during the day and at night, is honestly second to none. If you don’t like dancing, you’re in trouble because they WILL have you on your feet! 🤣
There are workers everywhere, constantly working to improve the grounds and the hotel. They work incredibly hard and, honestly, I think this place could be fantastic in a few years if they continue investing in it.
⚠️ Leaving the resort
Everything you could possibly need is pretty much available on the resort.
If you do decide to leave and head down towards the seafront, just be sensible and aware of your surroundings.
DO NOT accept things from strangers. People may be very friendly and offer you gifts, but just politely decline and keep walking. Don’t let yourself get pressured into anything.
❤️ Overall
All in all, we’ve had a really good little family holiday.
Is it a 5⭐️ luxury hotel? Absolutely not.
Is it a little dated? Yes.
Could the rooms be better? Definitely.
But if you go there expecting a budget-friendly holiday rather than the Ritz, don’t spend your entire holiday looking for faults, and actually appreciate what you’ve paid for, then I genuinely think you’ll have a great time.
We definitely will be returning. 🇲🇦❤️
Sometimes you really do get out of a holiday what you put into it. 😊
Run down but with so much potential
We booked a last minute cheap Holiday, my expectations were not to high given the cost and looking at reviews prior.
The rooms, well dirty, damp and smelly, beds were terrible, the pillowcase looked like it had never been washed. The Bunk beds were terrible, rickety and old. The bathrooms were terrible, water warm at best when we arrived there were only 3 small towels for 4 people. As we arrived late at night I spoke to the cleaner the following morning, she did get a fresh pillowcase and extra towels for us. However looking at the cleaning equipment these people are given, it no surprise the rooms are unclean! The terrace was lovely and big, however again dirty and looking very shabby, such a shame as it would have been a lovely area to sit and relax. No Air Con in rooms and no kettle or cups/glasses for drinks. The WiFi is very hit and miss even in the reception area.
The dining hall was terrible, long ques and no where near enough food for everyone, everything would go as soon as it was put out! Other customers taking plates and plates of food using their hands, not very hygienic!
There are stairs everywhere, making it difficult for people with mobility issues to move around, we were on the 3rd floor and no lifts, I would suggest if you do have mobility issues to email the hotel prior for a ground floor room.
The pool areas were generally a lot nice than the rooms, although could do with some TLC, the pool water turned our swimwear green. Considering it was August and a busy month for Holiday makers we never had any issue in finding sunbeds around one of the pools. At times things did get heated with parents and children falling out which I suppose is to be expected at any hotel, we did witness many an argument between parents around the pool.
The staff try their best with the equipment given. The entertainment staff are lovely and do try and include everyone in their activities, personally I didn't have an issue with the evening entertainment it was your standard all inclusive style. The bar however was crowded at times and unless you shout up or tip you could be waiting a while for a drink, they allow two drinks per person, they have a bar that serves alcohol and a bar that serves soft drinks. I did notice that those who did tip got served quicker and at times got table service, I suppose the staff rely on these tips to top up their pay. It was difficult at times to get seats for the entertainment as it got very busy, especially if you went down after 8pm.
There were some little shops on site, including a little supermarket for snacks and ice cream etc. The prices were extremely reasonable for on site shops. Some lovely places to eat outside of the hotel, and we noticed many people had food delivered from McDonalds etc.
Unfortunately I wouldn't return to this hotel, it has the potential of being a fantastic place as the staff really do try very hard to make it pleasant, It is in desperate need of updating! Its such a shame to see such a big complex so run down.
