RIU Tikida Palmeraie

"From arriving at the hotel, seeing the staff at reception with such a lovely welcome. We have been coming every year to Palmeraie since it opened only missing Covid times. We have watched the staff grow into very professional staff. It is the staff who make this hotel, from the gardeners (there was no gardens like now when we first came), cleaners all the Chefs in Kitchen (,our Sufiyan) the Pool boys, all the Dining Room boys Mr Mustafa, Abdullah, Aadil, Sufiyan Salah run a very tight ship The bar staff, sorting and remembering our drinks, the porters. Sorry if we've forgotten anyone, ooh Adnan (2nd Manager), hope you got a rest Adnan after all that walking! We are treated like King&Queen loved the refurbishment in main hotel, but the best part, oohh the pool ! What a difference from last year, all retired, new beds, brollies fantastic! Thank you for the beautiful flowers for our 55th wedding anniversary, the lovely meals, was so so spoiled. (Sifuyan hope you are now back at work after your accident) Walking round the gardens is now an absolute pure joy. It's just like coming home drop your cases, see the boys and have a relaxing drink See you all again very soon John&Glenda"

"My daughter and I had 6 days here. The rooms were perfect for a mother and daughter sharing. Super comfy large beds . Lots of room. Loads of sun beds, grounds lovely. We used it as a base to go into Marrakech. Free shuttle great. Breakfast and lunch great. We went out for dinner a few times. The staff were absolutely amazing- literally could not do enough for you - a small tip is hugely appreciated. The animation team are all lovely and don’t hassle people. Special mention to Fadel at breakfast who remembered our tea order and rushed to serve us . Overall a great stay - thanks to all the very hardworking staff x"

"Just back from a 5 night stay , so that we could visit Marrakech. We almost went to Tikida Garden but this looked nicer. I have stayed twice at Riu Tikida Beach (TUI BLUE) in Agadir, a smaller hotel , the food here is not comparable. It's not bad, just not as much choice and not warm . Some dishes not labelled, including green ice cream , which was pistachio , not mint . If you have a food allergy , be wary. Waiters nice and a small tip was appreciated. Rooms are big and we had a spot in the 5000s at the back of the resort. Beautiful gardens but, if you have rain forecast, take a coat or umbrella, as it's a walk to the restaurants , uncovered. Pool area is nice and plenty of sunbeds . Pool freezing but it's unheated. Not many children but most were in the indoor pool, which we didn't use. If you get chance, do a balloon trip - it was amazing ."
