Fairmont Taghazout Bay

Beautiful hotel with very attractive grounds over looking the sea. I loved the planting in the gardens. We had a large sea view room with a king bed and a huge balcony in the block nearest all the amenities. We were first put in a room furthest from everything, overlooking the sea, but with a building site and a road to the side which we could see. We complained and we were moved but it was a disappointing arrival. We would also have expected a cold drink on arrival at the hotel, water, after a long day travelling. However the manager of the Italian restaurant, Ibrahim, looked after us very well that evening, he helped us to relax and the food was delicious. We also loved the Japanese restaurant. The tiramisu in Beef and Reef was wonderful. Breakfasts were excellent with a huge choice, eggs cooked any way you would like. Having a peaceful adults only pool was lovely, one could stay there all day reading and enjoying a snack. My biggest criticism of the swimming pools (there are 3) is that there are no hand rails, just ladders to get in and out of the pool. There are gentle steps going into the pool but I have balance issues so really need to hold onto something to get in and out of the pool. Other guests kindly helped me. So if you have weak legs this hotel isn’t ideal. It would be very easy to have one rail in the adult only pool by the steps. We found the concierge very helpful, all the staff were charming with the exception of the Tapas bar, we were told the restaurant was full when it was clearly empty! Would go again if hand rails into the pool were installed.

The welcome on arrival was very good and extremely courteous we got shown to our room bags delivered and the various eating options with locations all highlighted. It was a lovely spacious room with a great view of the sea. Everything was spotlessly clean nice big comfy bed plenty of pillows and cover options, coffee/tea maker, safe, plenty of clothes hanging and drawer space, balcony chairs and tables, lots of plugs no adaptor needed, etc. The greatest thing was it was so quiet once the door was shut all the sound was the sea lapping on the shore very romantic. All the restaurants on site provided top service and food accompanied with good choice of local wines and beverages. Breakfast buffet was really well thought out with some good choices of local as well as international cuisine the staff were great fun and very attentive constantly smiling special mention to all of them. Lastly the room was made up to the highest standard and left looking like a new pin so special thank you to Mbarka who was friendly and smiling whenever she visited. The bar staff round the pool very much alert and ready with smiles and laughs moving loungers and shades handing out towels nothing was too much trouble. Lastly special thanks to Mbarka for our lovely room and Aliounne plus colleagues for the fabulous bar service at sunset.

We had another wonderful stay at the Fairmont Taghazout for the third time, and we can’t wait to return next year! As a family of four, including our 3-year-old twin girls, we always feel right at home here. The heated pool is perfect for the kids, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room with a stunning sea view was perfect for relaxing, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing. We’d especially like to thank Adil Kherrouba, who made our mornings even more special with his warm hospitality. Highly recommend this beautiful resort!
