The hotel was in a good location, 10mins from sea turtles! The staff were lovely and very polite. The room for the most part was cleaned, however they did forget to clean the room and after a reminder on the Riu APP they came and cleaned it whilst we were at dinner. There is food in abundance .at the designated restaurant in the resort. However, when we arrived (around 10pm) from the airport we had no food options on arrival as the hotel does not offer room service and we had to wait until morning for a proper meal. The Spa was amazing! The beach was great. The entertainment was really good too
Very good resort. Facilities are top quality and well-maintained. Food was very yummy, although breakfast could offer more variety for a 5-star hotel (e.g. there was no smoked salmon for breakfast - I consider salmon to be standard at 5-star hotels catering to international clientele). Staff are well-trained and very professional. The resort also offers spa services as well as tour bookings, but we did not avail of these. For our travel dates the all-inclusive package on trip.com was by far the best value for money compared to booking directly or through any other website. One potential area for improvement is the provision of a mini rack on the balcony/veranda where guests can hang up wet clothes after a tour - would be a nice thing, which I've seen at some other resorts, as some guests just want their clothes to dry, not necessarily washed.
This is a beautiful resort. The staff were incredibly kind and always welcome you with a smile. They have snacks and coffee/tea time throughout the day and the dinner buffets were fantastic. There is also a lot of activities like water aerobics, stretching, volleyball.
The only downside: people are allowed to smoke everywhere, on the beach, by the pool, the lobby, the chill areas. Itβs really gross and very unhealthy for those who do not smoke.
I had a great experience with my family at this hotel , this would be one of the great memories in Nungwi Zanzibar , it was awosome , all staff are very friendly and helpful , amazing stay , highly recommend this hotel I had all inclusive service and everything was wonderful , what a holiday in Zanzibar , there was a live band on Friday and was great !
It was a great trip, especially with a few good friends. Although there was no opposite sex, it did not affect our enjoyment of life and emotional release!
The hotel is really perfect, with complete facilities, pleasant environment, and all three meals in the restaurant are well arranged. It was also a romantic party... Walking along the white beach in the morning and evening, riding a motorboat with the sunset... Perfect!
Next time, I can really bring my family to Sang Island for a trip. It is hospitable and the scenery is pleasant!
If you don't want to step on the pit of the hotel, come here!
My next trip to this beautiful island
ποΈ Zanzibar π₯
I want to note right away that my first visit to the island was not so joyful and emotional.
I stayed then in the hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar, thanks to which, I did not want to leave the hotel grounds at all, because when I went outside the grounds, I felt completely despondent and I would even say horror..
I also cannot note that during this time the island has changed a lot:-
1. A new airport has been built and opened
2. On the way from the airport to Kendwa beach, you drive along an asphalt road, the roadsides are clean, which could not be said on the first visit, it was dirt, broken roads and very, very π±π±
In general, the second, third visit to this wonderful island is already a tedious wait in anticipation of the Turquoise water. white sand bright sun)
Stop at the hotel
Kendwa Rocks ..
I really like the piece of this coastline from the Riu Palace Zanzibar hotel to Kendwa Rocksπ₯π₯
Wide coastline, equipped with sun loungers and mushroom beaches, you will hardly notice the low tide, but at least it definitely does not prevent you from enjoying the Indian Ocean, there is no seaweed .. someone may be bothered by moored ships and boats, I do not)).
HOTEL
Zanzibar to Kendwa Rocks
the hotel is four stars π and it gets a solid four for that π₯π₯ποΈποΈ
The hotel grounds are very well maintained, the rooms are arranged in a cascade, if you go to booking, you will get a full picture of the room stock and it really corresponds to reality ..
The beach starts working at 8 am, there are thick mattresses on the sun loungers, which the staff carefully lays out in the morning, you also get a beach towel and enjoy the beautiful weather and get an excellent tan
ππ
What would I probably attribute to the disadvantages of staying in this room .. if you really want to find fault with something ..
my themed room without an ocean view - no mirror in the room, with the exception of a mirror above the sink in the bathroom, there are no sticks if the young lady needs to place her cosmetics..
All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a fan, there are toiletries: - shower gel, shampoo, as well as a hair dryer..
hygienic shower.. Oh, that's a whole other story ππ
The pressure in the hygienic shower can be compared to the water pressure in a transboat ππ
In general, I'm not sure that it can be used for its intended purpose, if you don't want to lose what you had before using the shower))).
As for the food, everything is standard, I liked everything.. I won't even describe it))
I'm not picky, but I appreciate it when everything is good
I definitely don't expect oysters with champagne))
Breakfast is standard, those who write that it's the same every day are completely beyond comment..
apparently you have a Michelin chef at home and personal service for your apartment and your person)).
The hotel has excellent value for money!
The location is easy to find, there is a parking lot, it is very suitable for bringing children. Although the hotel is not too big, it is very beautiful. I especially love the lights of the swimming pool! Because I came during the COVID-19 epidemic and there are no other guests in the hotel, we enjoyed the VVVVIP treatment, which is great!
The hotel environment is good, the beach is very white, but the price is too high. Letβs talk about the service first, the room needs an extra bed, and I have to wait for a few hours before I come; I need to get a switch plug, and there is no shadow until I check out; I check out on the last day and call on time, I really wonβt let you for a minute. Delay. Besides the facilities, the bed in the standard room will move, so there are sizzling sounds upstairs and downstairs every day, and the sound insulation is very poor. On the wall, the hand cramps when you press it. In the villa, all the sockets are European-style. You must bring your own adapter. The swimming pool in the villa can only be regarded as a footbath, because it is only 60 cm deep.
