Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Situated on Zanzibar’s picturesque North East coast overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean, it is as the name suggests a little piece of paradise. From your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, the resort is a meandering 45 minute journey through un-spoilt scenery, passing typical African villages where the way of life has changed little for hundreds of years. At Ocean Paradise Resort Zanzibar, you will be greeted by a blaze of colour as you sweep down the imposing driveway, saluted by a Masai warrior as you pass through the entrance gate and be captivated as you arrive in reception and look out over the resort and the azure blue sea. Mature coconut palms swinging in the breeze, white sandy beach, beautiful landscaped gardens, traditional style round chalets with pitched makuti roof, a stunning waterfall feature and the largest swimming pool in Zanzibar are just some of the sights that await you. A big smile and the greeting of "Jambo" will be the first words you hear, as you begin to feel the warmth that the people of Zanzibar are famed for. ... more less

“Excellent vacation”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

I spent only four days at the Ocean Paradiese Resort to recharge after a stressful work project - it truly worked. Spacious grounds, beautiful and clean rooms, very friendly staff. Sporting activities and possibilities like windsurfing or volley ball keep from gaining weight from the great buffet style food options. Unfortunately weak WiFi.

“Very nice resort”

Reviewed 2 March 2013

The grounds are lovely and the setting on the beach is beautiful. We enjoyed our room located close to the beach and the pool area. The room itself was very nice and spacious, but the bathroom left something to be desired. It was poorly designed (long and narrow) and the shower was painted an unappealing black. The towels were hung... More

Great rooms on a beautiful beach (only problem is that it's a coral beach so can't swim all day - only in high-tide) Staff is very professional and kind, food is great and facilities are well maintained. We had a great time! thank you!

“Nice hotel”

Reviewed 3 February 2013

Stayed in this hotel in august 2012. Nice location, comfortable rooms, good food. Only setback, swimming in the sea only possible at high tide all other time, you will have to use the nice and tall swimming pool.

Thank you for your review. Yes high tide is the only time one can swim in the ocean, however this provides a perfect opportunity to take a walk to the reef or as you have mentioned there's the lovely swimming pool to cool down and enjoy a lovely cocktail. May you have a lovely day and hope to see you... More
