Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar

After spending 7 days on dusty safari roads of Tanzania, my wife and I needed a place to clean up and unwind. This hotel hit the spot. My wife quickly stopped complaining about her safari fatigue and her dirty little face was squeaky clean again.

3 day stay after safari and Kilimanjaro climb. Perfect place for short chill period in the sun with beech and pool. Lovely kind staff. Excellent food. Good poolside music every evening. Safe shallow beech with some water sports. Not much outside the resort.

We were pleasantly surprised upon arriving at the resort. Our room was huge and the property was beautiful! The staff was extremely friendly and they made us feel at home. They do a great job of scheduling activities throughout the day so guests have a variety of things to do. The food was okay for an all-inclusive - we definitely didn't starve while we were there. The spa was also nice and my husband and I had two great massages. Overall we loved the Ocean Paradise and would go back in a heartbeat!

The staff was friendly, super in fact! There was always plenty of comfortable seating on the beach view, the pool was so deep! A depth for all ages, even stools for those looking for a cocktail! The food was delicious, I tried everything, just because I could decide! Live music everynight, with evening activities! The room was beautiful and I am excited to go again! P.s. the spa was fabulous and you can even get your nails done! All very reasonably priced!!!

Located at the Northern end of the city this a lovely hotel set in its own well kept grounds with attentive staff from the housekeeping staff all the way up to the manager. A different theme on the buffet every night and food freshly cooked. Rooms regularly serviced and complimentary bottled water available in the rooms. No ATM - on the premises but maybe this is standard for African hotels? Beach and pool available. A really nice place to chill out, all sorts of people were there when we visited, couples, families and singles. Enough space to not feel over crowded. The staff were very accommodating to families with small children.

I was really excited to visit this resort based on the pictures but was not happy when I got there. The staff are exceptional. The food was terrible and plain. There are way too many stairs to get to everything and going to dinner is five flights of stairs. Not friendly for the elderly or handicapped. My room was not cleaned very well and I had to do it sometimes. I took my elderly father and he had trouble with the stairs. This needs to be mentioned in their description. Overall I don't think I will come back.

Facilities better than expected; excellent service; daily animations to include stunning nearby village tour; hotel absolutely cash free; looks new and fresh

The Ocean Paradise is truly a paradise in the Indian Ocean. The staff are wonderful and did everything possible to make me feel like an honoured guest. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean and the only downside was the cost of the wifi

Great hotel and amazing food! I have been to many resorts and this one is probably my favorite. The food has a lot to do with it. The only downsides are that the day trips are way too expensive, although they are enjoyable especially the tour of Stone Town, and the hotel does not accept American Express.

My stay was excellent they make your room up for u twice a day The beach is awesome the food is delicious an excellent The staff are absolutely friendly a. Make ur stay so comfortable Negative side no wifi Sauna an jackuzzi is only free if u go a treatment eg pedicure The tours from the hotel is expensive better use beach boys u can negotiate with them
