The hotel had a beautiful location along side the Zambezi River. We were looking forward to a relaxing 3 night stay coming off a 9 night safari. Unfortunately during our stay, the pool area was taken over by several large families with loads of children. If you are looking for a hotel with a peaceful setting, the Palm River Hotel may not be for you

If you want a nice hotel on the Zambezi River this is the place to stay. It is not in town and about 10 to 15 minutes away depending on where you are going. But very relaxing on the river.
