Riu Palace Tikida Taghazout — 5-star all-inclusive on Taghazout Bay
Opened in October 2019, Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Taghazout sits directly on the fine-sand beach of Taghazout Bay, separated from the ocean only by the beachfront promenade. Riu Palace is the most elegant category in the RIU chain — the hotel holds a 5-star rating and operates 24-hour All Inclusive with 504 rooms.
The resort is 5 km from Taghazout village, 15 km from Agadir city, and 45 km from Agadir Al Massira Airport (AGA). The structure is built in terraces facing the Atlantic — returning guests describe it as "more like a village than a hotel."
Facilities include 5 outdoor pools (two of them infinity pools overlooking the ocean), one indoor pool, a children's pool, a RiuLand kids' club for ages 4–12, a full spa and hammam, a gym, and specialty restaurants including Krystal (international fine dining) and a Moroccan speciality restaurant. On Tripadvisor the hotel is ranked #7 out of 20 hotels in Taghazout with over 2,600 reviews and a 4.3 Trustpilot rating.
The hotel does not have any regular public transport connection. Guests arrive by private transfer or taxi. If you are arriving at AGA, the reliable option is a pre-booked Agadir airport to Taghazout transfer — read our complete Agadir airport arrival guide for what to expect on landing.

What guests say about Riu Palace Tikida Taghazout
Common themes from 2,600+ Tripadvisor reviews and Trustpilot feedback. We summarise the most frequent positives and the most frequent concerns so you know what to expect.
Guests consistently praise the staff as the hotel's strongest asset. Names mentioned repeatedly include Ismail in the buffet, Othman at the pool, bar team Karim and Abdou, and entertainment team Nada, Zicco and Chiamu. Reviewers describe 11-night stays where "every single staff member couldn't do enough for us."
Return RIU guests often describe the Taghazout property as being on "another level" compared to Riu Palace Tikida Agadir. The reception, bars and rooms are called immaculate and spacious, and the resort is often described as feeling "more like a village than a hotel." Five-time RIU Morocco visitors place Taghazout as their favourite property.
The main buffet gets mixed reviews but the Krystal international restaurant and the Moroccan speciality restaurant are praised repeatedly. Reviewers highlight freshly made pizzas, salads, fruit, and a good breakfast range. Guests on 2–3 week stays say "food varied, hot and plentiful."
The pool area is widely praised — "loads of loungers, beds, sunshades" and two pool-side bars. The two infinity pools facing the Atlantic get specific mention. Cleaning staff are described as working tirelessly to keep indoor and outdoor areas immaculate.
The 20-minute walk along the beachfront promenade to Taghazout village is a highlight — guests describe watching surfers and camels along the way. The hotel's own beach section is reserved for guests and is a popular feature for families travelling to this part of the Moroccan coast.
The honest flipside: "there isn't much around." Reviewers note that Taghazout village (20 min walk) is described as run-down by some, and that if you want nightlife, this isn't the base for it. For excursions to Agadir city (15 km) or Marrakech, you will need a pre-booked transfer.
