Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

Location was perfect ! The all inclusive was amazing , all food was extremely good and good variety of stuff served ! Drinks,cocktails! I loved the fact that you could walk over to their sister hotel which is the riu jumbo and also get served food and drinks ! Their staff were also very nice and friendly! We will definitely be visiting again

The beach was amazing - white sand and crystal blue water. There are a few locals selling things but they generally don't heckle in an unpleasant way. The room was comfortable. Bathroom was nice but could be updated. The main buffet was excellent - decent range and quality of food compared to many other 5-star hotels. The buffet service was great. We were celebrating our honeymoon, and received a nice bottle of sparkling which was a nice extra touch.

The staff was actually outstanding from the check in onwards, regardless if we were at the restaurant, the bar, the beach …. The whole resort is lovely with all the big garden areas between the nice arranged housing blocks. Especially compared to the beaches at other hotels and resorts at this stretch, the beach of Riu Palace Zanzibar is one of the best. At least in the morning the beach was cleaned by the staff, so we had no rubbish from the excursion boats and no sea weed. We ate only at the main restaurant, as it was very good every day, with a good range of different dishes. The drinks and small bites at the all bars leave nothing to be desired. Last but not least the very good spa, Renova Spa has to be mentioned. We had in total 5 treatments and every one was worth the money. At Renova Spa the staff was excellent as well. … guess it’s no surprise, that we highly recommend this resort!
