But this hotel deserves all the top stars awards. EVERYONE, literally everyone was so gracious polite and welcoming. From the front desk, to the staff during breakfast, and even the men maintaining the grounds. It should be noted this hotel is secluded from a “town” and clearly designed for families with children. But we absolutely loved our entire experience with Palm River. Loved it ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian Oct 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The architecture is fantastic. The location on the banks of the Zambezi is fantastic. The property exudes quality, luxury and comfort. The staff was super friendly and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. Spending time at the hotel was as exciting as going out to do activities and coming back to our room was so satisfying every time. The dining area was particularly epic with the ultra high ceilings and decor fit for royalty, making breakfast in particular, an occasion to look forward to. We would stay here again. Well done Palm River Lodge! ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Avi Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was good in general, Do you want? The hotel recommended we did the early morning safari in the day of our checkout so that we have plenty of time prior to checkout. The Safari booked by the hotel was a private Safari and it was a disaster because their vehicle broke down which caused delays for the checkout and there was no leniency in terms of checkout by the manager. literally people were standing at our doors to make sure that we come out of the room and that really caused an unsatisfactory ending ##### Avi Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald Oct 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool was fabulous! We missed the elephants, but the hippos in the evening ---- amazing! ##### Donald Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spectacular property with dedicated service ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Thetis Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Thetis-Island-Hotels.d3000470119.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Death-Valley-Hotels-The-Ranch-At-Death-Valley-Inside-The-Park.h893189.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Coba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Coba-All-Inclusive.h1414071.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Regina Airport West](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Regina-Airport-West.h3649326.Hotel-Information) > > [Sherkston Shores Cottage perfect for family vacation](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Sherkston-Shores-Cottage-Perfect-For-Family-Vacation.h66445246.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d10550-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Hotel in Batangas](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Batangas-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d6129047-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [ARIES Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Zakopane-Hotels-ARIES-Hotel-SPA.h8767983.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lion's Head](https://www.expedia.ca/Lions-Head-Hotels.d6336308.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels.d4053.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Breakfast in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Breakfast.0-0-d4117-tHotelswithFreeBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in United States of America](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-United-States-Of-America-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d201-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Harrah’s Las Vegas – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Harrahs-Hotel-And-Casino-Las-Vegas.h41307.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Ramblas](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Royal-Ramblas.h5469.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown London](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-London-London-Hotels.0-n6358345-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Izmir](https://www.expedia.ca/Izmir-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Izmir.h17771589.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lgw/calgary-to-london) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/tpa/london-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/phx/edmonton-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Indianapolis (IND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ind/vancouver-to-indianapolis) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Batumi (BUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bus/vancouver-to-batumi-intl-airport) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/yyc/london-to-calgary) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Hawaii.d213.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Activities > [Things to do in Durrës](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Durres.d6047335.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Staten Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Staten-Island.d55982.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit Britt](https://www.expedia.ca/Britt.dx3000407970)
