We LOVEDDDDDD (!!!!!!!) it here!! So much so that we decided to book twice in the same vacation. We hadn't booked anything for the last part of our honeymoon, and we decided to come back to end our honeymoon here. The service is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly (genuine, not the fake friendliness), the rooms are amazing and the beach is soo clean and beautiful. The food is also amazing!! Which is really not common at all inclusive resorts. A special thanks to Khadija from the reception who recognized us when we came back for the second time and even upgraded our room. Can't wait to come back here ❤️

It is a bit pricey but the service and food very good. It is an all inclusive resort and everything is free. They have a bar and service for 24 hours. They have multiple restaurants and one of their restaurant open three times a day and there is another restaurant that opens till late. You can use RIU Jambo resort facilities. There are about four or five restaurants open for dinner time but to get a table you have to book and it is hard to find a table there and it is fully booked, well I stayed for two days and all those restaurants were fully booked.

Мы жили и в Джамбо и в Паласе. Заселились в отель ночью, номер нам дали возле ресепшена (ресепшен по сравнению с Джамбо скромнее). Наш номер был 300 и находился ужасно далеко от ресторана и активностей, идти в горку было тяжело. Но можно было попросить отвезти вас на багги. В первые часы пребывания мне Палас как будто меньше понравился, но потом я поняла его особенность. Этот отель уединеннее, тише, больше возрастных туристов, все размеренно. Очень красивые виды на пляж. Много уединенных мест, мне очень понравился бассейн возле ресторана Кристл. Кухня не очень разнообразная. За 6 дней менялось по парочке блюд, все остальное стандартное. Но у моего питания есть особенность, я не могу есть глютен. Стафф старался и отзывался на любую мою просьбу, приносили мне хлеб без глютена. Ходили в три ресторана а-ля-карт. Ия - греческий ресторан, не плохой Кристал - мне очень понравился и по еде и по антуражу Ресторан со стейками немного подкачал( Мясо было очень жестким. В остальном все было прекрасно. Милый, заботливый персонал, всегда здоровается и улыбается, всегда готовы помочь. Чисто и уютно. Кстати, охрана на пляже старается не пускать близко к постояльцам продавцов всего подряд, которые ходят по пляжу, потому что от них нет спасения. Это еще один огромный плюс для отеля.

Personnel accueillant, hôtel situé sur une belle plage mais pas de restaurants, boutiques autour. Souvent des coupures d’électricité dans la journée.

Great all-inclusive in Zanzibar Pros: Entertainment was top notch. The African dances were so good the 3 nights we were there. I don't usually like the resort buffets but the buffet here was very good. The food was tasty well seasoned and abundant. Fatma and Asma took such good care of us since we went there several times throughout our stay. Cons: While the buffet is amazing trying to get reservations at the restaurants is very very difficult. We only went to Krystals. The instructions are to make your reservations via the RIU app but we were never able to make a reservation thru the app. The app is very faulty. At the Palace front desk they told us to go to the Jambo front desk for those restaurants. When I did this the agent desk basically told me keep trying with the app and the resort is full. I have never been to a resort where I wasn't able to make reservations for the restaurants. Front desk staff is a bit slow. At check in we were told late check out is $20/person/hour and to just arrange it the day before. Well it was a process to get to say the last since my space here is limited. Will expand on Trip Advisor. Overall I would say it's a great resort, but it's lacking if you are comparing it with the Caribbean and Mexico. I would not recommend you go out of your way to go to Zanzibar from the US but if you are in the area, the beach is beautiful and an all inclusive is always just what the doctor ordered.
