The hotel had a beautiful location along side the Zambezi River. We were looking forward to a relaxing 3 night stay coming off a 9 night safari. Unfortunately during our stay, the pool area was taken over by several large families with loads of children. If you are looking for a hotel with a peaceful setting, the Palm River Hotel may not be for you

If you want a nice hotel on the Zambezi River this is the place to stay. It is not in town and about 10 to 15 minutes away depending on where you are going. But very relaxing on the river.

So often you doubt the praises from a traveler. But this hotel deserves all the top stars awards. EVERYONE, literally everyone was so gracious polite and welcoming. From the front desk, to the staff during breakfast, and even the men maintaining the grounds. It should be noted this hotel is secluded from a “town” and clearly designed for families with children. But we absolutely loved our entire experience with Palm River. Loved it

Liked food and service although turn down didn’t turn up on our second night . Beautiful grounds and view of river Rooms a bit basic cold bathroom heating didn’t work. No magnifying mirror in bathroom . Shower very good but would also like a separate hand shower so as not to get hair wet especially for women .
