This is my 6th stay in a Riu . I normally stay at the Riu palace where I travel . This said it was a 4 star, But in my mind was 5 star . The food was the best I have had in any Riu I have stayed in. Amazing selection and superb quality . Beach area is lovely with sun beds under palm trees for shade or you can sunbathe in the open . All staff so friendly again the best I have experienced in any Riu . The only improvement I can think of is that WiFi is a bit up and down , losing signal at times . Also the 4g in this area isn't great so you can't really rely on that as a back up . Also the beach vendors are annoying . Sometimes you don't want to leave your bed and walk to the sea as you get pounced upon by various people trying to sell excursions , jet skis and souvenirs . Maybe you could move them away from the Riu beach and if you want this stuff then go and seek it out .

Dear Andy,The best reward is learning about our guests feedbacks and knowing that they had a nice time.Thank you very much.However, we are very sorry to read this, as the beach is public and only local authorities are in charge of controlling this area.It will be our pleasure to welcome you again very soon.Loving Greetings,Hotel Riu JamboOnline Reputation Manager

Ich hatte einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Hotel Riu Jambo in Nungwi, Tanzania. Das Personal war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Zimmer waren geräumig und sauber und das Essen war lecker. Ich habe es sehr genossen, am Strand zu entspannen und den herrlichen Blick auf das türkisblaue Meer zu genießen. Ich kann dieses Hotel jedem empfehlen, der nach einem erholsamen und unvergesslichen Urlaub sucht. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team des Hotel Riu Jambo!
