RIU Tikida Palmeraie

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seven days of truly switching off! ☀️🇲🇦 We've just enjoyed a wonderful seven days at Riu Tikida Palmeraie, and it's been exactly what we needed — a chance to properly switch off, relax and enjoy Marrakech. Before arriving, I'd read a few reviews that left me with some concerns. However, I can only speak from our own experience (M41/F42), and we've genuinely had a fantastic stay. The staff really do make this hotel special. From the warm welcome on arrival to the wonderful waiting staff, everyone has been friendly, welcoming and attentive. A special mention has to go to Reda and Izyam, who were absolutely exceptional! We had limited interaction with the animation team, purely through personal choice, but whenever we did, they were upbeat, friendly and engaging without being pushy or making us feel obliged to participate. A lovely balance! The housekeeping and cleaning teams also deserve recognition. They work incredibly hard, and the hotel is kept beautifully clean throughout the day. The food was another pleasant surprise! We found it varied, tasty and plentiful, with familiar everyday options alongside different dishes. In fact, this is the first all-inclusive holiday where we haven't felt the need to eat out because of the hotel food! We also really enjoyed the onsite Italian restaurant. We've spent some lovely time exploring local shopping areas and eateries, but equally enjoyed returning to the peace and comfort of the hotel. Is everything brand new? No. There are a few signs of age, particularly in the bathrooms, with the odd tired fitting or chipped mirror. But nothing that affected our enjoyment, and it's clear that a great deal of care goes into maintaining the hotel. Would we recommend Riu Tikida Palmeraie? Absolutely! Seven days of relaxation, lovely food, wonderful staff and genuinely good hospitality. We're heading home with some fantastic memories and would happily return. In fact, we can't wait to see it following the refurbishment! A huge thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable. ❤️"

"5th time at this hotel. Although it’s still a very nice hotel and staff are pleasant a few things have gone negative. Bathrooms need some tlc, ours has mould on ceiling and a shower leaking through floor, although reported and fixed twice during our stay, still leaking. Room towels are very old and tired, wouldn’t use them at home, they should be replaced. Alcoholic drinks are very limited in choice and don’t even think an English pub measure of spirits are being used."
