Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Resort itself is very clean and well maintained. Workers were always cleaning and keeping up. Food was really good, I just wish there was more availability for the restaurants. When we initially checked in, the only restaurant available all week was the buffet (which is still very good). Kudos to Chef Simon and his crew!!"
