I liked the clean beach and sunsets over the water on the pier bar. I liked the pool area for availability of loungers and clean towels. I liked the several areas for sitting/eating/visiting. I also liked the choice of different pool options.

We really enjoyed this resort. Was very clean and all of the staff was friendly and helpful. They had daily activities, plenty of pools, and bars. The food was just ok and they only allow you to book the restaurants once no matter how many days you are staying. This was very disappointing because we had to keep going to the buffet which didn’t have the best food and served the same thing daily. They had daily shows which were pretty bad and not worth sitting through. Outside of that the rooms had everything we needed and they kept the fridge stocked with water and soda which was helpful. The only other negative is there was no shuttle to the airport and they charged $60 for transportation one way.

My partner and I spent 8 nights at Riu Jambo and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean, spacious, and overlooked the beach, which made for a beautiful setting. Housekeeping maintained it well, with daily cleaning that kept everything fresh and comfortable. The staff at Riu Jambo were outstanding — always full of energy, warm, and incredibly helpful. I unfortunately had an accident while in Zanzibar (unrelated to the hotel), and the way the staff supported me during my recovery was truly exceptional. They were accommodating, caring, and always ready to assist. A special thank you to William, who we often saw in the buffet dining room. He was a pleasure to speak with and always made sure my partner and I were comfortable and well looked after. The rest of the breakfast and dinner team were equally amazing — attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. While the food could be a little repetitive at times, there was a wide variety and something to suit everyone’s tastes. If I return to Zanzibar, I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you to everyone at Riu Jambo for making our experience so positive — a well-deserved 10/10!
