Hyatt Regency Taghazout

"We generally enjoyed our 7 night stay at the Hyatt. The hotel itself is beatifully furnished and very well cared both inside and around the pool area and grounds. We upgraded to a sea view which meant our room was directly above the reception area overlooking the pool area but it looks directly out to sea. There are only 2 floors of bedrooms so a 'high' room isn't an option but the close proximity to the pool area wasn't an issue regarding noise. There are plenty of sunbeds for everyone and didn't experience the dreaded bed blocking although a few towels did appear early on. We chose to spent our time at the adult only pool down by the beachand promenade which was very relaxing. We hadn't realised the week we had booked coincided with Moroccan and French school holidys. If you don't want children around, do search online for school holiday dates. It would have been much quiter without families around but with the adult only pool a fair distance away from the main pools, it didn't impact our stay too much. There are 2 padel courts available but you will have to pay to play. At the time of our stay it converted to £41 for 1.5 hrs. Because you need to pay, the courts will more than likely be available though. For us, the only disappointment of our stay was the food. We'd booked half board so ate at the restauarant every evening. One of us is pescatarian the other vegetarian., There is plenty of salad avaialbale at the buffet but we'd really hoped for some tasty vegatable tagines. We were in the home of tagines after all. Alas the vedgetable tagine was to be honest, pretty boring. No chickpeas, lemons or apricots, just a load of potatoes, carrots, a small amoint of aubergine and a hint of morrocan spices. We spoke to the restauarant manager and expressed our disappointment. She was so nice and said she'd ask the chef to make an individual tagine the following evening and upon arrival the next day, she found us and asked that we let her know when we were ready for it. Unfortunately the tagine was just an individual serving of the same buffet offering. We certainly can't fault the service and sentiment, just disappointing the kitchen couldn't do something better. The fish dish didn't change day to day either. Again disappointing as Morocco is a big fishing nation with plenty of restauarants in Taghazout offering a variety of grilled fish. I'm going to make a suggestion. If you are not in to eating as much as you can at a buffet, maybe consider going bed & breakfast and eat at Sud 17KM, the hotel restaurant by the beach. It has a great a la carte menu and waiter service and potentially can work out cheaper if you don't do 3 courses. The menu can be seen on their website so do your sums. In summary, we loved the hotel and the staff can't do enough for you. They are genuinely lovely people. The only negative for us was the lack of tasty vedgie main dishes. Of course, that's not going to be an issue for most people so I'd still highly recommend the hotel"

"Excellent family hotel. Good atmosphere, top facilities. Liked the sunset yoga and the gym has a great location overlooking the ocean. Beautiful rooms."

"We (sisters and a friend) had a lovely holiday at the Hyatt Regency. Although there were issues at the start of our stay, we did bring them to the attention of the Manager and staff and they did everything they could to ensure the remainder of our stay went without further hitches. Ahmed the F and B Manager was wonderful, along with Asham, Mohammed and all the team in Sud 19km. Thanks to them all for making our holiday memorable for the right reasons. We had a fabulous time and we will return. The adult pool and the beach were most enjoyable. Rooms were clean and the beds very comfy. Food in Sud 19Km was very nice, (the standard Buffett was a bit too repetitive and some evenings struggled with the offerings). Breakfast was ok, the staff were always helpful but they need to be more forward thinking...filling the hot milk jug and water in the coffee machines. There were a lot of French children, many running riot in the restaurants at breakfast and dinner so this was disappointing, more from the parents than the hotel staff who did, repeatedly ask for them to be kept under supervision. All in all we had a great time and the weather was fabulous."
