Riad Sahara Sunset Beach

“Very nice, typical place and in nature.|In the middle of nowhere|It was nice to be in the middle of nowhere. The host was kind and spoke excellent English. The bed was comfortable, and it was only a 5-minute walk to the beach. From the rooftop, you could enjoy views of the night ocean. If the food were tastier and it were less noisy, the rating would have been higher.”

“STAY AWAY - Nice place in appearance, but very poor Animal and Customers treatment July 2025 I stayed in this place with a friend of mine, and we had to cut our holidays short and come back home in a very stressful situation. A deeply disappointing and disturbing experience – avoid at all costs Disliked · A deeply disappointing and disturbing experience – avoid at all costs I stayed at Riyad Ocean expecting a relaxing, nature-focused retreat. What I encountered was a series of serious issues ranging from false advertising and poor hygiene to animal welfare concerns. Below is a breakdown of the problems experienced during my stay: 📍 1. Misleading Location Riyad Ocean is not in Agadir, It is located over 60 km south, which required us to pay an extra 50 euros for a one-hour taxi ride from Agadir airport. 🧼 2. Serious Lack of Cleanliness – Cockroach Infestation One night after returning to the room, we found at least 20 large cockroaches in our room. this was an invasion. When we reported the issue, the owner dismissed it and blamed us, saying the insects came in because we had opened a bathroom door which was not a sealed from floor to ceiling, not signposted or mentioned as a risk for insects. Despite the situation being unlivable, the owner refused to move us to another room, even though there was availability. We were left to kill dozens of insects ourselves and insist until another employee let us use another room. 🐎 3. Animal Welfare – Shocking Conditions for Horses As a cavalier, the most upsetting point: the ranch has a horse riding activity and we could clearly see some of the horses were not taken care of properly: very thin and we could see their ribs, extremely dirty (see pictures which were taken at 7 am in the morning - where you can clearly see the dry sweat marks, saddle marks on all the horses from the day before as they haven't been showered or at least dried and brushed). The state of the stables is appalling, and most of the horses are still tied by the front leg with a rope as the boxes aren't properly closed, preventing horses from moving. Most shockingly, we found one of the horse in the morning enclosed in the little space next to the saddler amongst rusty and sharp metal objectives, an old bathtub and the horse is in very poor condition. Finally, we had a very disturbing interaction with both the owners which I am currently addressing the matter through legal channels: I was personally harassed on my phone by the owner at midnight with threats and false accusations, which he decided to resolve in kicking both my friend and I out of the place despite me providing all the prooves that he was wrongly and rudely accusing me of doing something we didn't do. My friend and I had no other choice than to pack our bags and leave immediately after trying to talk to the owner, who simply shouted at me and insulted me repetitively. I cannot recall ANY similar situation, and I have reported them to Booking.com, as well as taking legal actions. This is simply unacceptable .”

“Went twice in a week for a horse ride. Safe, professional. Excellent experience and very nice people. We plan to come back for an extended stay.”

“Unforgettable down to earth (ocean) experience. This is as close as one can live in authentic Moroccan home. Ocean walks, horse ride, yoga or just be - your choice. Hosts adds 150% to experience. PS. No easy place to find. Google, Waze are not greats help. It’s a worthwhile challenge.”

“Beautiful quiet place near the ocean. Offers horse ride. Was an adventure to get there as google maps didn't find an exact location of the hotel.”

“Exceptional service and hospitality!”
