"We honeymoon’ed at My Blue Hotel for 6 days and loved it! The hotel property is beautiful and clean. We chose the half board option, and really enjoyed the breakfast provided by the hotel. There are also several nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner that are walking distance. Furthermore, the staff were lovely. We had a smooth check in and check out experience and the cleaning staff left cute designs with towels and flowers on our bed for our honeymoon. The rooms were good - had everything you need including bug nets! Staff would also spray the room in the evening to keep bugs away which was greatly appreciated. The view of the beach was great and we didn’t have any issues getting a beach chair to sit on at any time of the day. Highly recommend staying at My Blue Hotel!"

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive - Adults Only

Travelocity Verified Review

"Highlights: - the food!!! Best all inclusive food I’ve had - the staff!! They are SO friendly, polite and want to make sure you’re having a great time - location. Stunning location on the beach. The grounds are lovely and you get to use Jambo next door also. - House keeping! Amazing room decor every day. Opportunities: - entertainment is lacking, especially if it’s raining. So bring some cards with you. - our room door batteries had to be changed 3 times across 12 days, which seemed a lot. Perhaps we were just unlucky. We loved staying here and had the best time. Sadly I got acute tonsillitis but the onsite doctors sorted me out (though I’ll neee to claim that back) I, naively, didn’t realise there was such a tip culture so didn’t come with enough cash, so would recommend to others to have plenty of small notes in USD. - "
