    “we were upgraded to the newer Rio Palace Swahili - which is very similar to the Rio Jambo but without children. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a very nice balcony with a view of the sea. The buffet was amazing.”

  • Location great, rooms need upgrading

    “Lovely property on beautiful beach. Loved Jetty with two restaurants and sunset bar which was gorgeous to listen to music and watch sunset. Food and drinks pretty decent standard and entertainment good esp Friday Riu party night. What makes this hotel is the staff who work tirelessly and always with a smile on their face..all such a wonderful asset to the hotel. Great entertainment team, lovely bar staff/waitors..all so good but special mention to Teresa, angel,rosemary,Johnstone, Janet, Linda’s, hamad, Neema,Leah and Aisha and entertainment guys Assam and Mahir who ensure everyone having a great time.”
