Hotel Riu Tikida Beach stands right on the sand in Agadir, close to the seafront promenade, the restaurants and cafes of the beachfront strip and a short ride from Souk El Had. It is run as an adults-only all-inclusive hotel, with guests required to be 16 or older, which gives it a calmer and more relaxed feel than the family resorts nearby. There are 254 rooms with air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe and bathrobes, and the facilities include two outdoor pools and an indoor pool, a swim-up bar, a thalassotherapy centre, tennis courts, fitness facilities and a nightclub with live entertainment. Three restaurants and a breakfast buffet cover meals, and the all-inclusive plan includes snacks and a range of drinks, which makes budgeting simple. It is a good fit for couples, honeymooners and groups of friends.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the beachfront in central Agadir, so the sand is at your doorstep and the promenade runs past it. Restaurants, cafes and shops are a short walk away, and the marina and the Oufella kasbah lie further along the bay. Souk El Had and the Royal Palace area are a short taxi ride, and petit taxis are easy to find.
Al Massira Airport is roughly 40 minutes away by road, and free self-parking is available if you plan to rent a car for day trips to Paradise Valley, Taghazout or Essaouira. Hotel desks and local operators arrange excursions with pickup.
Rooms and atmosphere
The rooms are comfortable and well equipped, with sea, pool or garden outlooks depending on the category. The social centre of the hotel is the pool area, where the swim-up bar, loungers and daytime activities set a lively tone, while the thalassotherapy centre offers a quieter alternative for recovery after a surf lesson or a long excursion.
In the evening there is live entertainment and a nightclub, though the main promenade is also close if you want to venture out. Because the hotel is adults only, there is no kids club or children's pool, and cribs are not available.
Who it suits and good to know: this is a hotel for couples, honeymooners, groups of friends and solo travellers who want a social, all-inclusive base on the sand. Check-in starts in the afternoon and photo identification is required, with the booking name matching the guest. Pets are not allowed. All-inclusive plans can have limits on certain beverages, so check what is covered, and compare room categories if a sea view matters. Ask about quiet rooms away from the entertainment areas if you value early nights.
