Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"Una hermosa propiedad con buenos servicios, habitaciones amplias y equipadas. El personal en restaurantes destaca por su amabilidad, lo que desafortunadamente no se extiende al personal del lobby que es malhumorado y desidioso, salvo concierge que es atenta. La comida y bebidas para ser sistema todo incluido son excelentes. Otra consideración es que no se informa que servicios como spa y compras en tienda no se pueden cargar a la habitación, situación que tampoco se informa al hacer el check in. Dada la distancia al aeropuerto seria bueno puedan ofrecer alguna opción de transporte."

"Location on Kendwa beach was the best! Beautiful swimming, restaurant with beach view and stunning sunsets right from your beach chair. You can walk to other restaurants and the beach was safe for walking. Patrols also ensured beach merchants did not get too close. Wifi was spotty at times. Room was comfortable, though sometimes AC would go out due to spotty electricity issues which is all over zanzibar so not the property. A wonderful and easy stay after safari!"

"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!"
