Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive
"Sunset views were amazing. My room was great and housekeeping staff were awesome, help me decorate for my hubby bday, got us champagne and a cake. The gym was ok, some machines did not work or broken. The massage therapist was not so good, we booked couples massage and it wasnt worth it. I loved everything about the resort except entertainment nights were boring, dj could play better music (excluding Riu party) and the buffet was my nightmare. Same food offered every night, every station, the chef left red meat medium well, still saw blood. My husband and I had to pretend we had reservations to go try one of the restaurants on property. The best restaurant was the asain fusion restaurant next to the buffet. All the other restaurant food was blahhh. I spent 8 days here. I know it was off season but why food options not rotated daily. The drinks were mediocre, the juice was not even fresh it was powered mixed in water to taste like pineapple juice. Just the food was why I put 3 stars. The pools were great, staff were great, (Jambo, Jambo) beach walks were great, the buffet food could use upgrade on selections and taste. I came to Africa to eat African cuisine and flavors, the buffet offered American and other country food. Give me Zanzibar authentic food. I would refer others to this resort for everything else except food & spa."
