"Our stay at Riu Palace Zanzibar was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end. This is truly a five-star resort in every sense.
The staff is what makes this place so special. Every single person we met was incredibly kind, caring, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it made us feel at home throughout our stay.
The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, and impeccably maintained. The rooms are spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. The bed was excellent, housekeeping did a fantastic job every day, and all the common areas were always immaculate.
The food was delicious. Although we weren’t able to try the specialty restaurants because they were fully booked during our stay, the Pomegranate buffet restaurant exceeded our expectations. There was a great variety of fresh, flavorful food at every meal.
One thing that really stood out to us was seeing how much the hotel seems to invest in the local community by employing so many people. It was wonderful to see such a large, dedicated team, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there.
Honestly, I can’t think of anything that needs improvement. We had no negative experiences at all. Riu Palace Zanzibar exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and memorable stay in Zanzibar."
"I really enjoyed my stay at Sunset Kendwa. My double room was incredibly spacious, and everything worked perfectly; from the hot water to the air conditioning. The resort itself has a great atmosphere, with direct beach access, plenty of activities, and delicious food. African Night was a highlight, with an amazing buffet, Maasai performances, and an acrobatic show that made for a memorable evening.
There were just a couple of things that could be improved. Because I had the “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door, my room wasn’t sprayed for mosquitoes one evening, and I wasn’t aware this was part of the evening service. I also couldn’t find a phone number to reach reception, so my only option would have been to walk there, which wasn’t ideal.
My biggest suggestion would be around dining hours. Breakfast and dinner ended quite strictly, and if you missed them, there were very limited alternatives. I think it would greatly improve the guest experience if there were an all-day menu available outside the standard meal times, especially for guests returning from excursions or activities.
Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this resort. The positives far outweighed the negatives. 😊"
"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."
"Very clean resort!
Friendly staff especially Ms Tausi who was extremely helpful with our needs. We had all inclusive experience and it was great!
Will highly recommend 👌"
"Great location right on the water. Very well priced for a great experience in Nungwi. Nothing bad to say about the place. Beds are pretty firm, but thsts pretty standard for Zanzibar and most Southern African places (that are not 5 stars and super expensive). Would definitely come back again"
"Beautiful place & beautiful people. Very welcoming, food was gorgeous and different every night. They upgraded my room as returning customer and I fell in love all over again 😍.. no moans over here, just smiles ✨️"
"The rooms were nice. The only downside, no shelves in the bathroom or shower area to lay out your toiletries. The master bedroom didn't have a table to put the suitcases on, always digging out from the floor.
Dinner, lunch and breakfast food was good. Beach area was great. You can order drinks or food right from your umbrella. Close to ATM, Minimal and medical facilities."
"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
