Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir
Things to know
before you go
Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir is a five-star, 24-hour all-inclusive RIU Palace resort on Agadir beach.
The property is a stronger choice for beach, pool, and easy all-inclusive convenience than for travelers seeking boutique scale or a quiet adults-only atmosphere.
RIU completed a major refurbishment in 2025, adding rooms, new dining/bar concepts, redesigned leisure areas, and brighter public spaces.
Agadir Beach is walkable from the resort and the hotel is near the promenade, but ocean conditions remain Atlantic rather than lagoon-calm.
Families are supported by RIU Land, kids-club programming, pools, and sports activities.
Hidden tips
Use the hotel app or reception early for minibar, maintenance, or room-change requests; recent reviews suggest early escalation works better than waiting.
Book or check restaurant access early in the stay, especially for themed dining after the 2025 refresh.
Ask for a room away from entertainment or high-traffic areas if noise sensitivity matters.
Budget expectations should be set around RIU Palace convenience and beachfront location rather than a small luxury-resort experience.
Things guests wish they had known
The hotel was refurbished in 2025, and recent official information gives 456 rooms; older third-party pages may show outdated room counts.
The resort is beachfront, but Agadir is an Atlantic beach destination, so water conditions can be cooler or more active than calm Caribbean-style bays.
The strongest fit is travelers who want an easy all-inclusive beachfront base in Agadir rather than a secluded luxury hideaway.
Several recent comments are positive about staff and cleanliness, but expectations should still be calibrated around a large, busy RIU Palace resort.
Strengths from our research
Beachfront setting on Agadir beach.
Recently refurbished public areas, rooms, bars, and dining concepts.
Large review base with recurring praise for staff, cleanliness, gardens, and pools.
Good family fit with RIU Land, kids club, activities, and all-inclusive ease.
Six bars and multiple dining concepts after the refurbishment.
Other considerations from our research
Some guests still report room noise, maintenance, or bathroom/privacy quirks.
Food and drink feedback is positive overall but not universally five-star.
Sunbed competition can appear in peak periods.
Not adults-only, so couples seeking a quiet child-free escape should compare with adults-only alternatives.
TripAdvisor and other third-party data may lag the 2025 refurbishment details.

From Reddit
Reddit coverage is limited but useful for context. Agadir threads mention RIU Palace positively for services, décor, architecture, and beach/pool relaxation, while broader threads position Agadir as more of a resort-and-beach base than a city-exploration destination.

Our full take on Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir
Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir is a 456-room resort on Agadir's long sandy bay, refurbished through 2025. The all-inclusive here runs 24 hours, which is the practical difference between this and most of the Moroccan coast: five restaurants, six bars, a swim-up bar and room service at any hour, with the minibar and gratuities in the rate. Outdoor pools sit among lake-style gardens with Balinese beds, and a heated indoor pool covers the cooler months.
Dining is more varied than the size suggests. The buffet does live cooking and two themed nights a week, and behind it sit Krystal for fusion cooking, Marrakech for Moroccan, a steakhouse and a casual poolside room. Families get RIU Land and a kids club, both included, and non-motorised watersports come with the rate while excursions and the spa do not. Agadir Beach is walkable from the door with the promenade close by, and the water is Atlantic rather than lagoon-calm, though the bay is gentle and shallow along the main stretch.
Our samples run from 310 to 383 dollars a night for two, and the fair way to set expectations is by what this is: a large, busy, convenient beachfront resort rather than a small luxury one. The complaints reflect that, with room noise and maintenance the most frequent, sunbeds competitive at peak times, and the food positive overall without being uniformly five-star. Ask for a room away from the entertainment if you sleep lightly, and raise any room problem on the first day rather than the last.
