Words really don't do this outstanding resort justice. We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our 5 week long trip around east Africa and I couldn't recommend a better way to do it. There are only 6 villas in the Palms and we were fortunate to have the 'Cinnamon' villa which was at the end of the... more

We stayed at the palms and went to Zanzibar as we were intrigued by the history, mix of cultures and gorgeous weather and beaches. The rooms at the Palms were lovely and the service was very good.We disliked the fact we were asked for our dinner order just after having lunch and the same after breakfast. You also had quite... more

First the good news. I agree with the other reviews on the many positive aspects of this hotel, the amazing beach, the great villas, and the fantastic staff. However, the owners have to do something about the new manager (from Nairobi) who really detracts from the overall experience. We were coming from some fantastic lodges run by CC Africa so... more

The Palms Resort is beautiful. With only 6 private villas- it is very romantic and has an amazing beach with a sort of beach house that is your private beach sanctuary. The Palms has AIR-CONDITIONING - a must in Zanzibar. Without it you just melt. That was our reason for choosing The Palms Resort over Mnemba Island. Prices are the... more

[--] We expected the service to fall off here, as we were leaving CC Africa properties and using another company. But we needn’t have worried, the service and food was every bit as attentive and luxurious as we had grown pleasantly accustomed to. We looked at the CC Africa property Mnemba, but ruled it out because the rooms didn’t have... more

There is absolute nothing to write about this resort other than it is heavenly. I dont think i will ever go anywhere ever again in the whole universe that could even begin to compare in every aspect. Its perfect. The Palms was a perfect end to our honeymoon. more

We've just returned from the final part of our honeymoon. The Palms is a very, very comfortable hotel with truly exceptional service. At one point I was sure the staff were reading my mind. A number of things struck me about this hotel. Firstly, the diversity of food was superb. As a rule we are not great fans of all... more

I got married here so you can bet that I had high hopes for this place. Wow - we knew it was the right decision the moment we passed through the gates. Barefoot luxury is a great description. You can easily pick up on the elegance of the place just looking at the pictures, what you can't see is what... more

We stayed at The Palms on Honeymoon for seven nights after sight seeing in Cape Town, going on Safari in the Sabi Sands and also getting married while on Safari at our Private Game Reserve - Ulusaba. The Palms could not have been more perfect. The villas are absolutely amazing, there are only 6, and during our stay only 3... more
