Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Taghazout, Morocco

Golf details: Royal Golf Club. The Agadir Royal Golf Club is a par 36 course 3,600 meters long with fairways perfumed by pines, eucalyptus and mimosa, fragrances that blend with the tang of the nearby ocean ... It is a delightful course, but you must beware of the trees and the very dense undergrowth. The greens are broad, well defended b deep bunkers and groups of palm trees that close of the angles. The number three hole is particularly challenging, its splendid 469 meters and par 5 requiring particular skill on the second shot, to overcome the impressive water hazard. After the game, players can meet and discuss their round in the panoramic club house, practically buried in a cascade of Bougainvillea area. Golf Les Dunes. Golf Club Med les Dunes is set on gently rolling land among eucalyptus trees. A 27 hole course situated on the outskirts of Agadir. It is a glorious site with the best architecture.

More about the Golf: Golf du Soleil, Sea, Sun & Golf: At only 3 hours flight from most of European capitals, Agadir, first sea resort of Morocco, presents the whole year round a perfect temperate climate with an average of 77°F in winter and 82° in summer, so that you can enjoy golfing on one of the most interesting course in Africa: the Golf du Soleil. Beside beach and golf, Agadir also offers a large choice of activities such as Thalassotherapy, Berber cultural treasures and wild landscapes. For exceptional golf holidays, choose Agadir!

La Shems, Taghazout

Review Submitted: July 27, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Hi Rosalind,
Just sending a quick email to let you know that we had an amazing time in Taghazout and 24hours back in England rain and we are ready to go back again! The apartment was perfect and the view was stunning. It was incredibly clean but the location was unbelieveable with an amazing view out onto the ocean as well as allowing easy access to the beach. Thankyou so much for all the help you gave us as well as Mohamed who was truly amazing, bending over backwards to make things easy for us and even showing us how to make a tagine! We all, needless to say, fell in love with his cooking and him in general. Thankyou so much to both of you for giving us such an unforgettable holiday.
Many thanks
Patrick

Shems Apartment, Taghazout

Pontoon Brighton
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Shems apartment is light and airy with great views over the beach and sea. There is a small balcony where you can sunbathe and relax. The apartment is attractively furnished with Moroccan pottery, lanterns and wall hangingss which give it an authentic feel. Ros, the owner, is extremely friendly and welcoming, and we felt that with her help, and that of her friend, Mohammed, that we saw aspects of Morocco that might easily escape the average tourist.
Taghazout is a small, scruffy town with lots of restaurants and cheap shops. If you prefer a bit more luxury and upmarket dining out, Agadir is a good option and is about 20km away. It also has a wonderful sandy beach that seems to stretch for miles.
We didn't hire a car as we didn't fancy the challenges of driving in Agadir but taxis are cheap. However, it would be well worthwhile hiring a car so that you can do more exploring than we managed.
If possible, avoid August, as it was extremely hot when we were there - 50+c in Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains. Not conducive to a lot of sightseeing!

Summer 2009- Taghazout

Alsina Reading
Review Submitted: August 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The flat we stayed in was well equipped and very clean. The owner is really helpful; she organized a car to collect us from Marrakech and made sure we had everything we needed. You feel that if you needed any help in any way you'd have no problems at all.The views from the flat are lovely and it's furnished nicely.
The flat is well placed; it's a five minute walk to the beach. The village has just enough little shops and cafes to ensure you don't have to go to Agadir endlessly. The village has a reputation as a surfing location which means it's attractive to teenagers- lots of cool T shirts etc. The people in the village are lovely- helpful, interested in having a chat yet no too hardened to tourists.
The only thing you need to get past is the rubbish in the streets; it is a bit of a shock to see so much - even on the local beach. The smell can get bad on very hot days. However there is a cleaner beach ten minutes walk away which seemed to be a holiday destination for Moroccan families- really well policed, clean and organized. If you've got young kids I'd recommend it.
We'd happily visit again- off the beaten tourist track without too many worries

Review Submitted: March 25, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Hi Rosalind,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for the wonderful stay we had in your apartment, Shems, in Taghazout. It is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location with a delightful view from the balcony overlooking the beach and sea. Both you and Mohammed were very helpful both before our stay (with all our questions) and during our stay, providing information and recommendations on anything we needed. Taghazout itself is a charming village with beautiful beaches and lots of fresh seafood and tasty restaurants.

We will certainly be recommending Taghazout as a destination to friends looking for a relaxing week in the sun, or our more adventurous surfer friends to catch some of those lovely waves!

Many thanks again,
Sinead
