    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Riu Palace Tikida Agadir is snuggled up to a long belt of sand, and has an eye-catching pool scene in its locker, too.

    Swanky apartments and palm trees wrap around the extra-large pool on three sides. The fourth side's covered by a wedge of beach, which is pratically within splashing distance.

    The designers deserve a pat on the back here. The theatre features floating violins and cellos, and the lobby's dressed in a quirky get-up, with gold orbs, wingback chairs and an optical illusion floor.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    Lovely Birthday Getaway
    18 Jun , 2020 JPSLittleAston, 190731
    Really enjoyed our two week stay here. Perfect setting with direct access to promenade & private beach area, extensive pool terrace & gardens. HOTAL/ACCOMMODATION Nice efficient checkin, allocated room on second floor (same floor as reception) in wing past buffet restaurant. Standard suite outward facing with nice views across local area & also part sea. Very large balcony, requested with railings on three sides as opposed to half wall, better views & more light. You pay extra for opposite side facing pools area. Large room with separate seating area: settee, coffee table, small table/chairs. Comfy large bed and plenty of storage. Large bathroom area with loo divided off with shutters, bath/shower, twin wash basins & plenty of usual toiletries. Safe, hairdryer and nice mini bar restocked daily with soft drinks, we tipped guy who restocked every few days & got extra soft drinks and beers. Wifi worked well in room & throughout hotel complex FOOD/DRINK/ENTERTAINMENT Didn't' bother with formal entertainment in theatre area, good live music in lobby bar each evening. Enjoyed aqua aerobics in the warm pool each day, didn't try the Zumba class in the gym. The separate swim up pool by terrace bar was fairly cold which I enjoyed as larger and quieter. Buffet restaurant had plenty of choice for breakfast/evening meals. Restaurant area large and poorly lit with little atmosphere. We preferred adjacent open terrace seating area with lovely sunset views and patio heaters (when needed). Had several meals in a la carte Krystal Restaurant, with good menu choices and wine list. Special table decoration and bubbly for my birthday, also red roses and cake in our room. Tried moroccan restaurant once but preferred Krystal. Branded drinks served in lobby bar, local beer OK & you could request your favourite cocktail. Lunch/afternoon tea served in snack restaurant with lovely sea views directly next to promenade. Lovely choice of food and drinks. We visited every afternoon sitting on terrace, people watching along prom & sipping wine. LOCATION/GENERAL Perfect location in resort. Nice walks along promenade in either direction. Takes approx 30 minutes to walk to marina area (worth a visit). Beach directly opposite. Did sunrise balloon ride above Atlas mountains (birthday treat). Tried local massage+Hammam with Argan oil (enjoyable) and hired local taxi to port, kasbah & local mountain with fantastic views. Also visited Souk El Had fascinating museum complex. Special mention to the following wonderful staff: Hanza & Sara, our waiters at the restaurant terrace. Omar who looked after our mini bar, Mustafa & Kadija, waiters at the snack restaurant, always friendly and welcoming. Aicha, our room cleaner, Marouine, lobby bar waiter and finally Chibrani, waiter in lobby and pool terrace bars. Thanks to everyone for such a fantastic birthday break.
    Beautiful hotel, freezing pool
    06 Apr , 2020 Steph B, 187069
    The hotel itself was stunning! It was clean and well presented throughout. The staff were amazing and were always happy to help. Our only one issue was that the pool with the swim up bar was freezing! The other pool was slightly heated but we chose this hotel as it had a swim up bar. We were only here for a few days so just relaxed. The beach was lovely and the sunsets were gorgeous.
    Chilled, lovely hotel, nice food, not for party peeps
    05 Apr , 2020 Swiftybee, 551993
    After receiving a couple of recommendations we thoroughly enjoyed a 9 night stay here in the beginning of March. The hotel looks lovely, we chose a shady pool view room. Room was nice annd big, decent wardrobe space for dresses etc. Lighting is an issue, esp for peeps trying to do their makeup. Shower was great, minibar all stocked with soft drinks. If you ask, they will leave you a couple of beers too. Its not a party hotel, more suited to people wanting to chill out and people more mature. However, we made friends and had a great time. Relaxing, just what we wanted. We were impressed with the food, for all inclusive its the best we have had. The krystal restrant wasnt as good as we had heard, avoid the rubbery lobster The Moroccon restaurant was delish! Really good drink selection, feel free to ask for cocktails which are not on the menu. They made me lovely espresso martinis on a daily basis. We went to the spa. I had a facial, which i thoroughly enjoyed. Husband had a massage, he liked it, but then went to the local one accross the road, paid less than half price,and prefered that. Pool area is impressive, right on the beach too. The bar staff were especially friendly. Some of the restraunt staff could be moody. I get some of the comments about the French being prioritised, but they tip/demand service. The lady staff were not friendly. We sat on the terrace for tea. Wait for a table, its a much nicer experience than in the restrant. Tip servers you like for extra special treatment. It was my husbands birthday on the last night. They made him a cake and had a bottle of plonk on the house! We will definitely consider staying in a Riu hotel in the future, dont think we will return to Agadir though, its nice, but once you have done the markets, been to an argan oil cooperative in the mountains etc, there isnt anything i want to go back and see again. Plus the haggling was doing my head in at the end. They are trying to rip you off with a smile on their face.
    Fabulous Hotel & Location, staff etiquette questionable
    27 Mar , 2020 EmmaCarter137, 191259
    My fifth time in Morocco and was recommended this hotel by friends with rave reviews, I have to agree the location is fantastic so close to the beach which is clean and never crowded. The pool area is so relaxing and plush, the bar is very well stocked and cocktails are top notch! I loved the extra touches given by the RIU ownership, the food is authentic Moroccan and well presented and the best I have had outside of Italy and France The staff although generally polite and very helpful do seem to be hell bent on finding a British bride, particularly if you are blonde,our party did complain to RIU as one of the managers uses the details we booked with to contact me, I have complained to RIU management, but this seems to have been ignored. The weather was disappointing over cast most of the time but we all had a brilliant time. Was so sad to have to go home, especially as two of the eight of us were staying for 2 weeks and the rest of us a week . Highly recommend the hotel, perfect place to relax and unwind, just be aware of the sleazebags!
    50th birthday
    24 Mar , 2020 jackiem279, 658247
    My partner booked this holiday for my birthday, so glad he did we had a lovely week. Our room was spacious an spotless with balcony overlooking the tennis court. The staff really make this hotel from reception to the cleaner in the loo they are so polite and friendly, and dont think for one minute you can sit with an emtpy glass for very long. I was given champagne and cake for my birthday it was such a nice touch. We tried both the krystal restaurant and morrocan and can honestly say the morrocan was both our favourite. Our last day was a bit spoilt by the covid 19 so the hotel closed both pool bars and dinning room but the staff dealt with it very well. We have stayed at the riu palace in aruba and this is very much on par with it.
