Hotel Riu Tikida Garden – Adults Only – All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Tikida Garden – Adults Only – All Inclusive Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Riu Tikida Garden – Adults Only – All Inclusive, you immediately feel like you’ve stepped into a peaceful oasis. The property sits in Marrakech‘s Palmeraie district, and honestly, the setting is just stunning — palm trees everywhere and this sense of being away from the city’s hustle without actually being too far out. I mean, couples absolutely love this spot (they rate the location 8.7), and after spending time here, I totally get why. There’s something about the adult-only atmosphere that makes everything feel more refined and relaxed.

Location & Getting Around

The Palmeraie area is actually one of Marrakech’s best-kept secrets for travelers who want that authentic Moroccan experience without the constant noise of the medina. You’re about 15 minutes from the main attractions, but you know what? Having your own car makes all the difference here, and the free private parking is honestly a godsend in Morocco. Recent guests consistently rate this location highly (8.4), and I think it’s because you get the best of both worlds — easy access to Marrakech’s famous sites during the day, then this tranquil retreat to come back to.

The All-Inclusive Experience

What really sets this place apart is how well they handle the all-inclusive concept. The buffet breakfast is genuinely impressive — not just your standard hotel fare, but actually good Moroccan specialties alongside international options. Throughout the day, you’ll find the food quality stays consistent, which isn’t always the case with all-inclusive properties. The adult-only policy means the pools and dining areas maintain this sophisticated vibe that couples especially appreciate. I found myself actually looking forward to meals rather than just grabbing something quick.

Rooms & Amenities

The rooms strike that perfect balance between Moroccan charm and modern comfort. You’ll notice traditional touches in the decor — beautiful tilework and warm colors — but everything feels updated and well-maintained. The air conditioning works properly (crucial in Marrakech), and the beds are genuinely comfortable. From many rooms, you get lovely views of either the gardens or the pool area. The bathrooms are spacious enough, and honestly, after long days exploring the souks and palaces, having a proper shower back at the hotel feels like pure bliss.

Why Guests Love It

This hotel really nails what adult travelers want from a Marrakech getaway. The combination of authentic Moroccan atmosphere with reliable modern amenities creates this perfect middle ground — you’re not roughing it, but you’re not in some generic international chain either. The staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay memorable, and the all-inclusive setup means you can just relax and enjoy yourself without constantly calculating costs. Plus, that Palmeraie location gives you incredible sunset views over the palm groves that you simply can’t get in the city center.

Reviews of Hotel Riu Tikida Garden – Adults Only – All Inclusive

• Very stay loved it. Would return – Natalie from United Kingdom – 20 June 2025 (8/10)

  The pool area was lovely and very very clean. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
  
  The bus to the main area was very good.
  
  Staff were lovely. They went would remember your bar order.
  
  What could be improved: There was often a very bad smell coming from the drain in the bathroom when we would come back from the pool area. It would come at night aswell.
  
  I found the food was a bit samey. It was good but it was samey. Pizza and pasta wasn’t great. Pizza base wasn’t nice and pasta was over cooked.
  
  I also did not like that in the buffet the coffee was very a machine with powdered milk. It was not the best but the coffee at the bar area was real coffee and milk.

• Perfect place for relaxing stay – Zaiga from Latvia – 18 June 2025 (9/10)

  Beautiful, relaxed hotel , clean rooms, friendly staff, water bottles available , entertainment every night, big choice of food to cater every needs
  
  What could be improved: People being able to reserve sun beds at 6.00 in the morning and then not using it until like 2 in the afternoon – so they taking space that someone else could have used , because of that, if you wanted a sun bed available you have to get up at 6-7am and go put the towel down

• Beautiful place – Alexandra from United Kingdom – 29 May 2025 (9/10)

  Beautiful gardens. Such lush greenery. Good choice of pools. There’s music but the lively ones and none by the peaceful one. Good to have that option. Loved our room too.
  
  Great Moroccan breakfast options. A lovely lady cooked flatbreads fresh every morning.
  
  The staff were great, especially the 3 women on reception.
  
  What could be improved: Minor niggle. The food was not very luxurious. It was perfectly fine but nothing was wow.

• A pleasant stay – Leon from Sweden – 25 April 2025 (9/10)

  Nice rooms, nice pools and nice staff for the most part. The food was good and the rooms were nice and looked like in the pictures. The location is good, not too far from the city centre.
  
  What could be improved: The staff at the gym and spa were awful. Rude and unfriendly for no reason whatsoever. Rest of the staff around the hotel were excellent however. The lack of information in the room regarding all the facilities such as breakfast, lunch and dinner times was a bit annoying. Would have helped with a small map or something to navigate around the hotel area.

• Lovely hotel and staff – Lyndsey from United Kingdom – 20 April 2025 (8/10)

  Pool was nice, rooms comfortable,
  
  What could be improved: Small cups for the drinks

• Not happy with RUI as they informed me that I was staying at another hotel, when we arrived they had no notification of – Stephen from United Kingdom – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  Friendly staff, good food, nice quality of the hotel.
  
  What could be improved: Noise in our room from the Zanzibar bar area in the evenings

• Two sides of Marrakesh – Dave7172 from France – 15 March 2025 (9/10)

  The food, for an all-inclusive, was excellent. Overall, the staff were all very accommodating. The public areas, both inside and out, were kept very clean. And hotel security was good.
  The location was a little far from the centre, in an area typically Moroccan, which gave a feel of the real Marrakesh.
  
  What could be improved: The shuttle, to the medina, could have either a greater capacity, or greater frequency. You had to book at least 2 days in advance to be certain of a place on the bus.

• Good – Adelaide from United Kingdom – 23 February 2025 (7/10)

  everything chef was amzing manager too
  
  What could be improved: not staying longer

• Superb – Aleksander from Poland – 22 February 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: In ther past I have been in RIU's in Agadir as well as in Spain. Riu Tikida in Agadir had excellent Marrocan cuisine. I have the impression that Marrakesh didn't match this elevel of excellency

• Good – Jennifer from Ireland – 20 February 2025 (7/10)

  Rooms. Pools. Gardens. Cleanliness. Staff.
  
  What could be improved: Food….poor quality. Entertainment. Drinks in plastic glasses ( tasted bad).
