Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The wifi was utterly terrible and kept disconnecting. Also, there was no response regarding if pickups were available so I had to call and email 3 different places. You would think for 5 star booking pickup would be included. Also, they forgot to give me wristband so had to go all the way back to front desk to get one which was extremely frustrating. Everything else was wonderful, from food to room and staff I had a great time"
