We spent a week at the hotel from Christmas day to New Years day. The hotel is 20-30 mins from the airport the other side of Marrakesh which is about 15 mins away depending on traffic. The check in was efficient and carried out in the entertainment lounge. We had a room in block 1 which is the nearest block... more

We have just returned from a weekend at the Riu Tikida Palmeraie. We landed on New Years Day at about 10:30am and travelled with Thomson. As many people have on these reviews, we got a great deal with about £500 off the normal price due to the hotel having recently opened. Transfer took around 20 minutes and the rep Jackie... more

The outdoor pool is lovely, the food is very good, with a good range to match all palates. There has been extensive use of beige and brown inside... more

Firstly, we made huge savings by booking directly with RIU and arranging flights ourselves rather than booking though Thomson - well worth looking into! We arrived in Marrakech on Christmas Day and first impressions of the hotel were very good indeed, the reception area was spacious and clean and as we didn't arrive in a Thomson group, check-in took a... more

We stayed in this hotel from 18th Dec until 28th Dec 2009. I must say that this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in and the reason for this are the staff that work in this place, they can not do enough for the guests. Even though they were still putting the final touches to the hotel while... more

Whilst we were there, the spa wasn't open because it was still being finished and there were workmen completing paths and bridges here and there. Also much of the vegetation - trees and... more
