Relaxed, friendly atmosphere; beautiful location
My 3-night stay at Palumbo Reef was problem-free and relaxing. The staff is very kind and friendly, especially manager Mohamed. My room was large, clean and very comfortable, and the fresh flowers on arrival were lovely. I had a wonderful view of the sea from my balcony and the sound of the surf lulled me to sleep each night. There is AC in the rooms, but with the sea breeze, it wasn't needed. The bed was very comfortable and the water in the shower nice and hot. Food was plentiful and of good quality, a combination of Italian and traditional Swahili dishes. The pool is gorgeous as is the beach. I was particularly happy to be able to walk the beach without disturbance from local touts. There are plenty of activities offered by the hotel and associated tour operators, but no pressure to join in if you don't want to. I recommend the traditional Zanzibar massage at the spa. All in all, it was a relaxed, friendly atmosphere in a beautiful location with a helpful and friendly staff.

Fun staff
Palumbo reef resort is a very nice place to chill out and relax for a few days. The very helpful staff go out of there way to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. We made good friends with the entertainment staff Jacho and Samur who looked after us and definately kept us entertained. As there is nothing to do in the surrounding neighbourhood this is essential. Each night they offered to bring us to where ever that nights party was taking place..sometimes this could be up to 30mins drive away. The resort hosts mainly Italien customers and thats the primary language spoken there but most of the staff have a good level of English. The room was spacious and clean and the whole resort is nicely designed and fits in well with its surrounding. The pool is very nice and is handy for when the tide is out. My only complaint would be that the wi-fi is very slow and you have to pay for it. They also do not have a desktop for customers to use. Overall a nice quiet place to spend a few days.

Nice and secluded resort that offers relaxation
The resort is Italian owned and the guests are predominantly Italian. That didn't cause any problems as staff spoke English and they were very friendly. The beach is amazing and you cant believe how beautiful it is until you go there.

nice place overall
Is an Italian Resort so the majority of the people who visit the resort and work there speak and understand Italian. However all the staff is very disposable to help and to create fun moment with different activities wich involves lots of people! is in really nice location not too busy and the seaside is stunning! Food is really good with a big variation between days and every night you get tipical and/or different entrateinment !!
