Who fits where at Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie
All 3 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Double Room | Sleeps 3 | 312 ft²29 m² | 1 bedroom |
| Standard Double Room (Sofa Bed) | Sleeps 4 | 312 ft²29 m² | 1 bedroom |
| Suite | Sleeps 3 | 517 ft²48 m² | 1 bedroom |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
13 things the research turned up about Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie that the brochure does not say.
Hotel Riu Tikida Palmeraie is a four-star, all-inclusive RIU resort in Marrakech’s Palmeraie/Annakhil area.
Its strongest fit is families and travelers who want pools, gardens, animation, and easy all-inclusive structure rather than a medina hotel.
The resort is not walkable to central Marrakech attractions, though shuttle/taxi access is a recurring practical advantage.
Pool areas and staff receive stronger guest sentiment than room freshness and food variety.
Because this is a lively family resort, it may not suit couples looking for a small, quiet, boutique-style Marrakech stay.
Hidden tips
Request a quieter room away from entertainment areas if sleep quality matters.
Use the shuttle schedule early in the stay so the return pickup point is clear before heading into town.
Inspect the room and bathroom on arrival and request a change quickly if maintenance issues are present.
Peak pool days can create sunbed competition, so choose travel dates and expectations accordingly.
Things guests wish they had known
This is an inland Palmeraie resort, not a beach resort.
The resort works best as a pool-and-garden base with shuttle or taxi trips into Marrakech.
Room-condition feedback is more mixed than feedback about staff and pools.
Travelers who want to walk out directly into the medina should choose a more central Marrakech hotel.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
