Travelers repeatedly praised The Palms in Zanzibar for its intimate and romantic atmosphere, perfect for honeymooners. They were particularly impressed with the spacious, well-appointed private villas, each equipped with a plunge pool and personal beach cabanas offering beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. The food, described as fresh and diverse, was highly appreciated, with the chef catering to various dietary preferences. The staff's exceptional service was repeatedly highlighted, with guests noting their genuine warmth, attentiveness, and the personal touches they provided. Guests also enjoyed the resort's sustainable approach, the opportunity to participate in activities outside the resort, and the access to facilities at neighboring hotels.
