Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar

Beautiful beach resort, friendly staff. Good food and buffet, enjoyed my stay at this resort. This is good resort for couples and families not singles.

Ocean paradise resort is amazing,very clean,spacious and comfortable room,beautiful a well maintained gardens,very helpfull staff,very taste food,so I recommending to everyone

.very disappointed when 48 hours before our arrival we got an email to say that the resort could not honour our confirmed booking.our credit card had been charged immediately upon confirmation of the booking.We had been travelling in Tanzania where WiFi is not the best .We were asked by Reservations at an international number which would have been very costly.Fortunately the hotel so light at the end of the tunnel and at the last minute agreed to honour the reservation.Also there were two charges signed by other guests but charged to our room.They have to implement a better system so this kind of mistakes don't happen.This really created unnecessary stress

We decided to take a last minute break for a few days before Christmas with family and friends and were surprised to get a booking at such short notice. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised with the resort which was great for our families with plenty to do for all ages. The beach is stunning with the only draw back being the vendors who constantly harass you once you step outside of the hotel confines. Staff are generally very friendly and helpful and the catering was pretty good to. Overall a good experience.

Wonderful place, food could have been better but plenty of choice available. Great staff and a very relaxed, friendly and pleasant environment

This is an excellent property with all the facilities you need for a sun and beach holiday. It was good value based on the half-board arrangement. The tide goes out a long way but it is beautifully warm when it is in and there is a lovely large pool. The annoying boys on the beach have largely gone so transfers and excursions are pricey.

Friendly staff and good resort for relaxation

Very well kept Hotel, staff were very friendly and the dinners were amazing. Beach was also very good with the low tides in late morning that goes out for almost a km and then the high tide in mid afternoon right up to the Hotels where you can swim in the water. Just amazing.

The place was absolutely breathtaking - the lobby, bar and breakfast area have an unbeatable view over the ocean, nice enormous pool, beautiful and secluded rooms, stunning beach just a few feet away and tons of activities. Only problem was the service - the staff were friendly enough, but seemed a bit inept. We had asked for a boxed breakfast since we had to leave early for scuba diving, but they couldn't figure out our pretty simple order of toast and eggs (leaving me rather hangry until we returned 7 hours later). They also wanted to charge me to use the pay-Wifi when the free one wasn't working. Otherwise an absolutely stunning place and wonderful for kicking back and relaxing.

The rooms were very clean and cozy. Pathways to the rooms can be a little dark at night, so be sure to bring a flashlight. Pool was amazing and dinner buffet was very tasty. We went the first week of April (1st week of the rainy season), so we had to endure a couple of hours of rain in the afternoons, but nothing too terrible. If you plan to snorkel, book ahead of time. The dive center only does 1 excursion a day and leaves early in the morning, so we were unable to participate because we arrived at the hotel after the dive center had closed the night before. Booking a taxi through the hotel desk had a large mark-up (i.e. price increase), so be sure to grab the number of a taxi driver to call yourself.
