Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar is a 24-hour all-inclusive on the Nungwi coast, for people who want the island's best swimming beach and a swim-up suite. It has 100 rooms, three pools with a swim-up bar and three restaurants, on the northern tip where the water stays clear and the tide matters less than it does further round the island. Riu's plan runs around the clock, which is the other reason people book it. Guests praise the beach and the clarity of the water, the pools and the swim-up bar, the staff, and the rooms and suites. The complaints are music carrying over from the Riu Jambo next door, buffet crowding at peak hours, specialty restaurants that do not always stand out, and confusion about whether the resort is adults-only. The thing people wish they had known is that it is family-friendly under current policy, whatever older listings say, and that a quiet room is worth requesting. The plan covers the buffet and the a la carte restaurants, the snacks, the 24-hour drinks and cocktails, a minibar and Wi-Fi; the spa is extra, the premium labels depend on the rate, the water-sports menu is worth confirming, and the airport transfer is free only for RIU Class members, with other guests paying for the hotel's shuttle, reported at around 80 US dollars one way. The Jr Suite is the value and the Superior Ocean Suite is the room for the view. Anyone who wants silence should ask for a room well away from the neighbouring resort.

Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir

Hotel Riu Palace Tikida Agadir is a 456-room resort on Agadir's long sandy bay, refurbished through 2025. The all-inclusive here runs 24 hours, which is the practical difference between this and most of the Moroccan coast: five restaurants, six bars, a swim-up bar and room service at any hour, with the minibar and gratuities in the rate. Outdoor pools sit among lake-style gardens with Balinese beds, and a heated indoor pool covers the cooler months. Dining is more varied than the size suggests. The buffet does live cooking and two themed nights a week, and behind it sit Krystal for fusion cooking, Marrakech for Moroccan, a steakhouse and a casual poolside room. Families get RIU Land and a kids club, both included, and non-motorised watersports come with the rate while excursions and the spa do not. Agadir Beach is walkable from the door with the promenade close by, and the water is Atlantic rather than lagoon-calm, though the bay is gentle and shallow along the main stretch. Our samples run from 310 to 383 dollars a night for two, and the fair way to set expectations is by what this is: a large, busy, convenient beachfront resort rather than a small luxury one. The complaints reflect that, with room noise and maintenance the most frequent, sunbeds competitive at peak times, and the food positive overall without being uniformly five-star. Ask for a room away from the entertainment if you sleep lightly, and raise any room problem on the first day rather than the last.
