The Iberostar Founty Beach is an upscale beachfront resort with well-tended grounds and a large outdoor pool complex. The 470 rooms are spacious and mostly bland, though they do have balconies and some sea views. There are extra charges for safes and deposits required for pool towels. All rates include a free breakfast buffet, and there are half-board and all-inclusive packages for the restaurants and bars. Facilities include a small gym, spa with an indoor pool, sauna, three kids’ clubs, and two tennis courts, plus live entertainment. Parking is free, but the free Wi-Fi can be patchy in rooms, and some rooms are far from facilities. The similarly priced Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort has more modern rooms and offers water sports.

Scene
Relaxed vibe with beautiful grounds
There’s a relaxed, family-oriented vibe here, and low-rise white buildings look chic against well-tended grounds that include palm-tree-lined lawns, stone pathways, and colorful flowerbeds. A star-shaped fountain lined with Moroccan tiles adds a dose of local color. The large, inviting outdoor pools are fringed by a paved deck, and the golden-sand beach is wide and attractive. Indoors, the bright lobby is slightly old-fashioned but full of local charm, with high ceilings, large patterned dark-blue-and-brown pillars, and suspended dream-catcher-like light fixtures. The pool bar and entertainment bar have simple, but elegant, outdoor seating, but the main restaurant -- complete with tan-wood, red-upholstered seating, and garishly colored floor tiling -- looks like a cafeteria. Guests here are a mix of families and couples, both tourists and Moroccans who want a relaxing beach holiday.
Location
Beachfront location; short drive to attractions
Only a pleasant promenade sits between Agadir Beach and the Iberostar, which is surrounded by other hotels. But there’s otherwise little to do in the immediate area; it’s a short drive or taxi ride to Agadir proper and most tourist attractions.- Six minutes to Agadir Birds Valley by car
Rooms
Large rooms with mini-fridges and colorful bathrooms
Rooms are spacious and fairly comfortable, but undeniably bland. There are cream walls with small framed prints, beige-brown floor tiling, tan-wood headboards, and bedside tables with built-in lamps. Similar built-in closets and cabinets have mirror-fronted sliding doors, and there are decently sized desks, plus wooden chairs and coffee tables set on traditional Moroccan rugs. Ceiling-height patterned curtains cover smaller patio doors that lead to pleasant balconies with attractive whitewashed walls, more beige-brown floor tiles, and cheap plastic tables and chairs. Many rooms have pleasant views of the pool and sea, but others lack views altogether. Junior Suites have larger balconies and sleep four, while Suites have separate living rooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies.Generously sized bathrooms sport similar beige-brown flooring, plus white and blue wall tiles. Large stone vanities are accented with colorful Moroccan tiles and submerged sinks. Shower/tub combos have power showerheads, and bidets, toiletries, and wall-mounted hairdryers are provided.Amenities include air-conditioning and heating, flat-screen cable TVs, free Wi-Fi (though it’s spotty in rooms), phones, safes (for an extra charge), and mini-fridges -- but no coffee- or tea-making facilities. All rooms have space for an extra bed, and family and connected rooms are available. Note that some double beds are actually two single beds pushed together. Some rooms are far from the lobby, restaurants, and other facilities.

Entertainment facilities include two outdoor tennis courts, a small archery range, ping-pong tables, bike rentals, and other sports equipment and fitness classes. There’s also a small gym with some dated machines, a spa offering a range of treatments and a tiled indoor pool and sauna, and a sandbox-style playground, as well as three kids’ clubs (though the teenagers’ club only runs in the summer).For dining, all guests get a free breakfast buffet with room rates. Half-board and all-inclusive options are available. Mercure restaurant serves the Moroccan and international breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets, which all offer good variety. Note there’s a dress code, and the restaurant isn’t open between meals.
