Kashrut and standards

Taken from the operator’s own website. A dashed outline means the operator hasn’t said, not that the answer is no.

Supervision
Rav Rottenberg; glatt kosher lemehadrin
Who it suits
French-speaking clientele (site in French)

Who is the supervisor?

The operator’s website does not name a rabbi or agency I could look up.

Worth asking the operator

  • Who signs the kashrut certificate for this program, and can I see this year’s certificate?
  • How many years has he supervised this operator’s Pesach programs, and this hotel in particular?
  • Does an agency or beth din stand behind the certificate, or is it his personal hechsher?
  • Is he in the hotel for the whole of Yom Tov, and how many mashgichim work under him?

Everyone named for kashrut supervision

Getting there

We found no nonstop flight from New York (JFK) in late April, so plan on one connection. A nonstop would take about 7.5 hours; with a connection allow several hours more.

London is listed year-round (Gatwick, Luton and Stansted) and Paris year-round from Orly. No nonstops from North America or Tel Aviv.

North American travelers usually fly to Casablanca and take a short domestic flight to Agadir, or connect through a European city such as Paris, London or Madrid.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA): about 50 minutes by carAgadir's airport, on the far side of the city from Taghazout.

Late April weather

Sunny and mild, with highs around 72°F (22°C) and nights near 57°F (14°C); the Atlantic is about 64°F (18°C), cool for swimming but popular for surfing.

Good to know

  • Morocco is five hours ahead of New York in late April.
  • The currency is the Moroccan dirham, which you can only get inside Morocco; cards work in hotels and larger shops, but markets want cash.
  • US passport holders do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days; other passports should check entry rules.
  • A rental car or driver is useful; the resort is about half an hour north of Agadir.

The hotel on Google Maps

Google’s star rating and reviews are for Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa all year round, not for the Pesach program.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

US State Department travel advisory for Morocco

Level 2 of 4: Exercise increased caution

  • Reasons the advisory gives: terrorism.
  • The level is for the whole country, not for the hotel or its neighborhood. Level 1 is the lowest of the four and Level 4 the highest.
  • Advisory dated April 20, 2025; I read it on October 4, 2026. Levels change, so open the advisory before you book and again before you fly.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
