Just returned from 11 nights at the Iberostar Waves Founty Beach.......2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12. We had an amazing time, can't fault the hotel.....I think that people forget when they write reviews that you aren't staying in a hotel in Spain, it's maybe not going to be the same! We opted for a family room pool view....and it was well worth it! We were in room 1028, brilliant location for the pool, easy to get out to the pool and could leave the patio door unlocked which meant we could just pop in to use the facilities. One thing to note with the family rooms, the ones that are pool facing do not have a partition, so you are all in the 1 space. The rooms that don't have a pool view do have a partition but you could be overlooking the next hotel which was a building site as was being totally renovated. Rooms were very spacious, good water pressure in the shower...does come with a safe which you do have to pay for, think it was EUR3 per night, but worth it for the piece of mind! There was a lack of wardrobe space, lots of hangers but not many drawers for the things that didn't need to be hanged up. As previously mentioned on other reviews, the hotel do supply a glass water bottle and 2 glasses, this can be filled up at the water machines that are all along the corridors......I thought this was an excellent idea, saves on the plastic! The beach was massive, the hotel do offer an exclusive Iberostar area with sunbeds and parasols, access to the beach is easy via a gate that has a security guard on it.....if anyone is under the age of 18, the guard will not let you out unless you are with an adult......so if you are worried about this don't be. The hotel has 2 pools plus a small child pool which did at times get busy but I think this was because it was very small.......the other pools were deep in the middle but the depth was shown by markings on the outer wall so you could go in as far as you felt comfortable. Water wasn't too cold, just the normal initial shock of getting in but once you were in, it was fine and a nice relief when the sun was out! The weather in Agadir was really weird, some days we would wake up to mist/fog even damping in the air but normally within a couple of hours, the sun was out and it was boiling......don't be fooled though, you will still get burnt even if you think the sun is not out......there were a few pink people that had been caught out by this, one of them was me :( The food I thought was excellent, there was always lots of choice at all mealtimes, yes you could say it was repetitive but there was always something to eat......and the puddings were amazing, I certainly know that I had to many seeing as some of my clothes now don't fit as easy as they did before we left the UK! We didn't visit the Moroccan restaurant as the choice was very limited and much the same as what you could get in the main restaurant...... All the staff in the hotel are friendly, always say hello and will do anything to assi
