Luksusferier – Zanzibar

Det var et bra hotell. men det var under oppussing så vi benyttet ikke bassenget pga en pressenning som dekket den ene veggen og vannet så uklart ut. Frokosten kunne vært mer variert. Bedre kaffe. Men badet var tipp topp bla kunne du dusje i friluft. Toalettet ble tett, men det ble fikset raskt.

RIU Palace Zanzibar ga oss et fantastisk opphold i vakre omgivelser. Anlegget er stort og bygningene ligger noe spredt, men hotellet tilbyr transport med golfbil for dem som ønsker det. For oss var avstandene uproblematiske. Det som virkelig gjorde inntrykk var de ansatte – alltid smilende, oppmerksomme og ekstremt hyggelige, enten vi møtte dem ved bassenget, i barene eller i restaurantene. Servicenivået var imponerende høyt gjennom hele oppholdet. God mat, flotte fasiliteter og en avslappet atmosfære gjør dette til et hotell vi gjerne besøker igjen.

Nice facilities and big comfortable room. The service is so so and the beach is not especially nice. Many things in the meny I not included in the all inclusive.

We had a truly memorable stay at Konokono Beach Resort, including time in the Isaraya Over Water Villa, and overall this was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and we genuinely felt we built a good connection with several of them during our stay. A special mention also goes to the Maasai guards, who not only provided security but also added a unique cultural touch by entertaining guests with singing and traditional jumping dances—something we really enjoyed. The food was consistently very good, and the overall cleanliness—both in the villa and around the resort—was of a high standard. The setting is simply stunning. The area is incredibly idyllic, and honestly, it rivals—or perhaps even surpasses—places like the Maldives in terms of natural beauty. The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, although it’s worth noting that the current can be surprisingly strong, especially during low tide. One thing to be aware of is the pricing of drinks, which we found to be very high. If you are staying in a villa, it may be a good idea to bring your own beverages. The only real downside during our stay was the lack of shade on the terrace outside the villa. Around midday, it became extremely hot, and we missed having a parasol or some form of sun protection to make better use of the outdoor space during those hours. Overall, this is a fantastic resort with a unique atmosphere, excellent service, and breathtaking surroundings.

Hyggelig personale som ville hjelpe. Aldri noe problem. Veldig god mat, gode drinker. Fin strand med mulighet for å spasere langt under tidevann. Jeg likte at vi fikk masse fersk frukt til alle måltid
