Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good
"The majority of the staff were wonderful, always smiling and happy to assist with anything. The booking system is frustrating and does not work if you have multiple rooms/ booked with family. This proved to be THE most annoying part of the holiday and it spoilt some of our evenings when we had to argue for a table for 3 people even though we had requested and it had been confirmed! It's quite a noisy hotel, with boisterous activities during the day, every day, which if we knew, we would have chosen a different hotel. The evening entertainment was very repetitive over the 10 days we were there."
