"Amazing staff who looked after us so attentively throughout with amazing and friendly service which made the holiday. The property is immaculate on a beautiful beach setting. Very quiet and perfect for a relaxing break. Food was varied and kept interesting. Fantastic breakfasts in particular though meat and fish dishes were a bit disappointing - generally very tough and left us feeling guilty at having to leave food that could’ve been improved. But overall a fantastic stay and would not hesitate...

Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I had an ocean-view room, which was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The buffet was good with plenty of options, and there were several à la carte restaurants for dinner that were included as well. I also liked that the beach wasn't private. It gave us the chance to meet friendly, talented local people. Some performed traditional dances, while others sold souvenirs. They were always polite and never pushy. You can also take a nice walk along the beautiful white-sand beach and browse the local shops. My husband and I spent five nights here and enjoyed every minute of our stay."

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."

The Residence Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"The Residence was the perfect spot to celebrate my 40th birthday. The deluxe garden view with the private pool was exact atmosphere my husband and I were looking for. The hotel is extremely clean and they even offer room cleanings twice a day. And we also loved the different themed dinner options each night along side with a live band performance! The staff make you feel at home and apart of the family. Nico always greeted us with a warm smile and helped us capture precious moments. The location is a little far from main attractions but I promise it’s worth it. Thank you to all the staff that made our visit to Zanzibar so special!♥️"
