Tikida Beach Hotel - fantastic caring staff

8.0

Nice comfortable beach front hotel with excellent staff. Adults only. V clean. I was worried after some bad reviews but we had a nice stay. Q a few older people - and mostly French and English - and a lot of people who never leave the pool. V comfy loungers and double bed loungers. I did pilates and stretch classes which was nice option to have. Q an over priced spa which I didn’t use. Food was good though we did tire of varying (but delicious!) tagines every lunch. Weak link was breakfast - some fresher pastries and better coffee other than machine coffee would’ve been nice. Staff are smiley, attentive and v hard working. Evening entertainment available and we saw a good dance show which was good but we don’t tend to worry about hotel Entertainment. A nice hotel with v clean and spacious beach and promenade. We will return to Morocco.

Tui Blue Riu Tikida Beach hotel in Agadir, Morocco - EXCEPTIONAL

Categories Blog Jackson Thanks for your review! TUI logo TUI Your review is pending.Read more Jackson 24 reviews GB Rated 5 out of 5 stars Another wonderful North African… Another wonderful North African holiday, this time at Tui Blue Riu Tikida Beach hotel in Agadir, Morocco. A really beautiful hotel – we are already pining for the fabulous gardens, exceptional food, friendly staff and those two amazing pools. In the many outdoor pools I have swum in, none has ever been so well-heated as the smaller pool at this hotel. Of course, it could be something to do with the energy of the amazing Sara from the animation team, who led the daily Aqua sessions, alongside all the other classes she ran so well. We loved the friendliness and mix of different nationalities staying at the hotel. The hotel is well located, just a few steps to the beach or a great stroll (or run) along the seafront into Agadir. Getting around is easy with a nearby bus stop and lots of cheap taxis, just 20 MAD to the Souk el Had. Agadir is a fast-evolving modern city, so you might not get the traditional feel of other Moroccan cities, although the hotel itself is beautiful and in a very traditional style. But it's a great place to be, and you can easily get out to smaller villages in the mountains or further down the coast if you hire a car. Tui runs various trips – we especially liked the Middle Atlas and the women's argan cooperative. We had a great guide called Rachid, a true storyteller who could make facts and figures fun!

Restaurant Staff

6.0

First time at this hotel. Reception staff/manager very helpful when we asked to change our room. Hotel rooms and public areas all good. Our issue was with the staff in the restaurants who seemed to be under the impression they were there to chat with each other and not work. There were a handful who were professional and we endeavoured to sit in their areas.

Nice hotel but food is very poor

6.0

Well where do we start. We’ve just spent 5 days here for some much needed winter sun. The hotel itself is lovely, great pool and the rooms are nice and spacious. The only downside is the pillows are that big/hard we’ve not slept properly and had a bad neck/headache in the morning. 4 days in we’ve finally got some normal pillows after asking reception. The food can only be described as extremely average, in 4 nights we’ve had one nice meal. The breakfast is so poor - stale cereal, gone off milk, fresh omelette cooked in masses of oil which was inedible. We’ve been living off bread/toast. The lunch is okay, if you get a panini from the pool bar that’s your best bet but the chicken is questionable. The drinks are all local spirits, wine is okay if you get an ice cube in it. We’ve been drinking pina coladas which are the best cocktail by far. Mohammed has been amazing at looking after us and making sure we always had a drink in hand. We booked the À la carte restaurant hoping for a better meal and could only describe this as worse. The starter was okay but the beef fillet for main came with carrots and veg and nothing else. No sauce no carbs?? And the desserts - inedible. We both left at this point as we were so frustrated. The best meal we’ve had all holiday was some Doritos we got from a local shop, and an iced coffee we got when visiting the marina. Just disappointing for our first trip to Morocco.

Definitely worth a visit.

Exceptional value for money. Good location, clean, comfortable, pleasant staff, and wonderful choice of food and drinks. Being a Tui Blu hotel no children and leisure activities. Sara who led fitness activities was such a pleasant and knowledgeable girl. Unfortunately hotel cleaners seemed to be so busy cleaning the rest of the hotel they ignored her request to clean the fitness area. Ten minutes a day would have solved the problem. Definitely recommend this hotel. Really good value for money. People we spoke to had made several visits.

Amazing hotel

10.0

Amazing hotel don't be put off by the negative reviews. I booked the hotels in a rush after my holiday to Dubai was cancelled 3 days before travelling. Once booked I viewed the reviews and was starting to regret the lack of research. The hotel is situated on the promenade and is ideally located for the beach and walking out. If you want to visit the centre of town, cable car or marina there are always taxis near the hotel as these are about 40 mins walk. The hotel is spotless and the cleaners are friendly and can't do enough. The bedroom was spacious and it had a lovely view over the pool and side view of the sea. There is a small fridge and kettle in the room which is great to keep drinks cold. The room that we had was on the second floor and was quite and had morning sun. There are 2 outside swimming pools with the smaller one heated. I swam in the larger pool most days which was initially cold but fine after the first few strokes. The restaurants has a huge selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a good selection of meat, fish, vegetables, salads, pasta, pizza and much more. The restaurant / bar staff are friendly and efficient. They are more attentive to guests that provide tips but if you do not wish to tip each time you will still get good service but not as attentive. The exercise classes provided each day by Sara from TUI Blue were excellent. The exercise area outside needs cleaning due to dust / bird poo and this was not done at all for the week I was there despite requests by guests and Sara. Whilst at the hotel I had my birthday and without any prompting / request a vase of roses was put in the bedroom and I was provided with Prosecco and a birthday cake at dinner. A lovely surprise.
