Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We had the best stay and would highly recommend Riu Palace Hotel Zanzibar to anyone visiting Zanzibar. Every part of our holiday exceeded our expectations. The staff were exceptional and always made us feel so welcome. A special mention goes to the entertainment team, who were full of energy and made every day so enjoyable. The aqua aerobics was a particular highlight! The evening bar staff were also fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, attentive and always went the extra mile. The included water sports were a bonus and added even more to our experience. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views wherever you look. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly cleaned every day. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. There was plenty of choice, and the fish was consistently cooked to perfection. We also really enjoyed the speciality restaurants, where both the food and service were excellent. We also booked an unforgettable day trip to Mikumi National Park for a safari, as well as a trip to Mnemba Island where we swam with dolphins and snorkelled among tropical fish. We also visited the turtle sanctuary, which was another fantastic experience. Definitely do this early in the morning before all the tourist arrive. All of these excursions made our holiday even more memorable. Overall, this hotel has everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. We would definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."
