Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara

Prior to this review, my wife attempted to reach out to Anantara to let them know our disappointment with our stay with a very non satisfying response. Anantara hotels in the past have always lived up to their reputation of luxury and quality of service until our recent stay at the Royal Livingstone. Prior to our arrival, maintenance decided to stain our door which transferred wet stain onto my wife and her clothing. We overlooked the incident and with being exhausted from our flight, we opted for room service Pad Thai that showed up with no chicken and spaghetti noddles in the dish. Very odd, but we decided to overlook the start of our stay hoping for a new start in the morning. We walked to breakfast at 9am and after being seated, maintenance struck again to start pressure washing on one side of the guest while lawn service started mowing on the other side. Spoke with the manager which he made the appropriate move to allow the guests to enjoy their breakfast and halt pressure washing and lawn service during those hours. While speaking with management, I inquired if 9am was normal for pool setup not to be done with cushions on the chaise loungers along with staff folding towels on deck. We intended to enjoy the pool after breakfast, but walked back to the room as it wasn't ready for guests. Upon arriving at the pool for relaxation, I was appalled by the condition of the pool and cushions. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised upon check-in to see the lobby chandelier shades in poor mounting condition, lights in the ceiling not secured partially hanging down, our room having paint on the towel rod & light switch cover, and shower door hinge flaking chrome, and furniture flaking sealer. This isn't luxury and Anantara should be ashamed to have one of their hotels in such bad shape from service to amenities. A site inspection needs to happen.

Гуляющие зебры, антилопы и встреча в отеле Эдуардом - топ. Организовали очень быстро экскурсию к носорогам. Прайс выше обычного, но возможность такая есть, имейте ввиду. Готовят ужины в ресторане основном очень вкусно. Вход на водопады для данного отеля бесплатный.

Не было зубной пасты и щетки в номере. Грязные, заляпанные стулья на балконе. Тапочки как в самом дешевом отеле. Дважды утром вызывали багги до водопада, долго прождали, но так и не приехал. А у нас был всего час перед вылетом и мы не могли ждать. Ушли пешком, потеряв время на ожидания и фразы «уже, уже едет». Цена не соответствует номерам, их комплектации и завтракам. Совсем скудные завтраки, просто для этих цен катастрофа. Плюс базовое игристое на завтрак предлагают за деньги. Впервые такое встречаем. По ощущениям цена на отель сильно завышена, всё же отель старый. Мы путешествуем много и можем сравнить. Но проходя мимо Авани отеля, мы совсем были в шоке. Там печаль совсем с домиками. Отелю нужна реновация и освежить номера нужно, конечно.

Our stay at The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara was unforgettable. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views of the Zambezi River from the verandas. One of the best parts was the private access to Victoria Falls, which meant we could visit early in the morning before the crowds arrived. The breakfast was excellent, and the service from the staff made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. It’s definitely a place I would recommend for couples looking for a romantic and unique getaway.

Hotellet ligger helt ved Zambesi elven og man ser vannskyen fra Victoria Fallene fra restaurant og bassengområdet, kort vei å gå for å se fossen fra Zambesi siden. Vi så flodhester i elven på morgningen og hadde Bavianer, Impalaer, Sebraer, Apekatter og Giraffer gående rundt oss på Hotellets området på dag og kveld. Veldig spesiell opplevelse som vi anbefaler.

A wonderful place to stay to easily access the Falls and to stay in comfort and luxury. I would recommend it unreservedly.

We loved our week here. The staff are just so friendly and the hotel setting is amazing with wildlife wandering around. The other evening two Giraffe literally walked in front of us dining in the Old drift restaurant. The zebra are always there. Its a few minutes to the falls themselves, or they will take you by golf buggy. The setting by the river is literally fantastic. So many different things to do for all age groups

Wow, what a hotel, it is spectacular! The design and decor and delightful, the staff warm, friendly and helpful and the setting is simply magnificent. We chose the hotel because we wanted to see a zebra by the pool and we were not disappointed. The security staff even took me to see a giraffe that had wandered in, so kind! I hope to come back many times.

Ein Traum - sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, leckeres Essen, Giraffe Zebra Affe haben Hallo gesagt, traumhaft schöner Sonnenuntergang und ein angenehm warmes Wasser im Pool, der tiefer und zum schwimmen einlud

Serine and clean environment
