Lovely hotel in lovely grounds. This type of hotel you could pick up & put anywhere in the world, what sets it aside & above the others is the staff, they simply couldn't do enough for you. Always something on the buffet to eat, & if you are strategic enough to wait you will get a freshly replaced ...

I stayed in this hotel for a week in November, through a travel agency (Luxair tours). The only good thing about this hotel is the gardens which are beautiful and well-preserved and the breakfast which is generally good. The rooms are very spacious but very old, with many problems, especially the ba...

Pros

  • Large renovated pool area and attractive garden setting.
  • Strong staff and animation-team sentiment across guest sources.
  • Good family amenities, including RIU Land and children’s activities.
  • All-inclusive setup with multiple restaurants and bars.
  • Practical base for Marrakech if guests are comfortable using shuttle or taxi transport.

Cons

  • Not beachfront and not walkable to the medina.
  • Rooms receive mixed feedback for age, lighting, and maintenance consistency.
  • Food can become repetitive for longer stays.
  • The atmosphere can be active and entertainment-led rather than quiet.
  • Exact room count is inconsistent across sources.

Things to know

  • 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 people wish they knew
  • 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.
From Reddit

Rooms

Rooms To Avoid:Avoid rooms with unresolved maintenance issues or locations close to evening entertainment if quiet matters.Medium

Recurring guest sources praise spacious rooms but mention dated finishes, occasional cleanliness or maintenance lapses, and some entertainment-related noise.

Best Value Room:Double StandardLow

Official room listings position Double Standard as the entry-level category.

Best Room Category:SuiteLow

Official room listings position Suite above standard categories, but guest evidence is not strong enough to call it universally best.
