The area leading to the property isnt great. But once you entre the resort, its a different ball game. No complaints about the beach, Staff and restaurants. These were all great. However, certain things for a 5 star resort just were not upto standard. -electrics kept going off on our side of the hotel. They kept blaming this on the electricty in zanzibar, but it seemed like a faulty electrics in the hotel. Ive asked for a partial refund for this. But not heard anything. - not enough buggies around the premises -no beach bag/in room slippers -i asked for room decorations/cake for my wifes birthday. Asked twice but nothing was done. Ive never had this issue before. Even with 4/3 stat hotels.

Incredible views, good food options and friendly staff. Some areas for improvement including (1) having better signage - it's a huge site and many people were getting lost (2) improving the buggy service - we requested buggies to collect us and despite calling in advance they were delayed/didn't turn up...

This was our first time in a Riu hotel and we loved it very much. The food, staff, room and beach were very good and we had a lovely time. Hopefully, we will be able to come back and enjoy the sun in this small part of heaven.
