Rating8.1Adults OnlySix room categories from standard doubles to family rooms. The sea view categories have meaningful views of the Indian Ocean. At check-in, bed configuration (double vs twin) has been flagged in reviews as occasionally mismatched from booking — confirm at check-in rather than assuming. Superior rooms are worth the upgrade for longer stays.

Garden or Pool
Entry-level room with no ocean view. King or twin configuration — confirm at check-in. Standard Riu construction quality from 2022. Good base for guests spending most time at the pools and beach.
Partial Sea View
A partial or angled view of the ocean from the balcony. The 'lateral' designation is accurate — not a frontal panorama. A reasonable middle upgrade from the standard room.
Sea View
Direct ocean view — the Zanzibar Indian Ocean view is particularly striking at this location. Worth the upgrade for guests who'll use the balcony. Sunrise-facing given the east-coast positioning.
Garden or Pool
Better positioning or finishes than the standard double. The upgrade to consider for stays of five or more nights.
Sea View
Superior category with the direct ocean view. The combination of better room quality and the full Indian Ocean view. The best non-suite option at this property.
Sea View
Larger configuration for families. Multiple beds in a single space. No separate bedroom — the family layout is open-plan. Suitable for families with younger children who don't need separate sleeping areas.
