On first impression we were very impressed with the resort. Walking into the lobby the view of the ocean beyond were breathtaking. We arrived a little early for check in and waited 2 hours for our room to be ready. During this time the staff were brilliant offering us drinks and giving us lots of information about the island.

It was the first time for me and my family to zanzibar. I read reviews and felt really unsure. I feel the reviews were very personal and not targetting all types of guests. First everyone should accept that it is a four star resort. When we went there we were really welcomed warmly. We are vegetarians and the choice was... More

Our family of five stayed at the resort for ten nights from the 4th of April 2012. The timing was perfect as the hotel was not very busy due to the low season. We received very good care and the ambiance was perfect. The staff were very friendly especially the Food and Beverage team who knew and spoke to all... More

We were booked here as part of a 5-Day extension following our 10 day family safari with Thompson. Our safari was more than perfect, BUT the Zanzibar extension was awful!! When we booked a year in advance and had been confirmed here, I had questioned our safari coordinator at Thompson about this place, because I had read so many poor... More

We stayed here for a week after our safari and it was a great place to relax. The rooms are large and comfortable and our maid was great. As for an earlier review about surly staff we didn't find this at all, they were all friendly and very helpful and couldn't do enough. The food was lovely both at breakfast... More

The ocean paradise is not a terrible hotel but on balance, the negatives outweigh the positives. The main issue is the service. Having travelled overland from Nairobi we were well accustomed to the "African pace" however the staff here are surly at best and outright rude at worst. On two seperate occasions my wife was hassled for cigarettes and tips... More

Stayed here for 5 nights at the end of our safari in Tanzania. Lovely cottages with good air-con,which was to be welcomed as the humidity is very draining. Excellent staff who really could not be faulted, especially in the restaurants and pool bar. Clean spacious accomodation, love the towel art lads! Beware the sun, you can get very burnt in... More

I stayed at the hotel over New years 2011/12 for 7 days. The hotel boosts 5 stars on its homepage and is sold by it's related travel agencies as a "first class hotel, which was why I and my family chose the venue as recommended by the travel agency (Jambo Tous in Stockholm, Sweden). The reality is far from this... More
