Recently returned from a week in the Palace Gardens and thought the hotel was great (when I eventually got to see it) which is where the warning of the title comes in. As I got off the plane and arrived in Djerba I collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital. Now the Tunisian medical system means they are very... More

This was our second visit to the Riu Palace Royal Garden. The hotel is kept spotless. Large, comfortable rooms (if slightly dated) with efficient air con. The huge swimming pool is well maintained and set in beautifully kept grounds. Two sittings at dinner (6.30 pm and 8.30 pm) and you are allocated the same table each evening (breakfast and lunch...

Just returned from a weeks stay in the Palace Garden and loved it. Spotlessly clean, big rooms, comfortable beds, delicious food. Beaches in Djerba not too good as the only areas cleaned are the hotel front, they could be gorgeous if the local council cleaned up the washed up rubbish, but the sea was beautiful and crystal clear. The hotel... More

This is an all-inclusive resort. It is in a beautiful setting with pools and right on the beach. The food is very good. The one thing I would fix is the internet policy: it's rather expensive and difficult to get. This is something common to all Riu resorts, so I don't expect that to change soon. In general, it is...

This was first time we booked via tour operator Jetair in Belgium. Hotel 5* All inclusive. From the moment we arrived around 10 am, we had a welcome drink while check in was done by hotel staff. We stayed for 1 week, and I can say that it was for me the Hotel n°1 for service and friendly and helpful... More

First impression was not good since we had a late check-in at about 21.30 arriving in darkness, not recommended if avoidable, so there was limited opportunity to pre-view the room. We had to be rushed into the restaurant to be in time for the 2nd sitting dinner and since the arrangement was "All In" we were amused to be braceleted... More

We only had a three night stay here but were made to feel really welcome. The service from everyone was fantastic. Waiter service was great. They would bring you a drink even before you had finished your last. The restuarant also was superb. Great food and again great service. More

If your looking for a holiday where you do nothing but lie at the pool or on the beach then this is the place for you. Because of the recent unrest in Tunisia, tourism has suffered. The upside of this is that there was never any trouble getting a sunbed but the downside is that the place lacked a bit... More

Came back 2 weeks ago from the RIU Roayal Palace Garden and should have reviewed earlier, anyway... went with First Choice (who I think only go there). We have been to Riu's in Dominican/Morocco/Tunisia before and booked this as we tried a few years back and it was cancelled, although the main reason was that it was a "Palace" and... More
