I have read many tips for this hotel before and after my vacation, but I haven't noticed any claims about billing...I travelled with a group containing 16 people. We arrived to the hotel after 7 days safari. We spend one week in this Ocean Paradise and it was ok: I liked architecture and disliked the beach (you cannot swim in... more

We arrived, mud-splattered, after a week of heavy rains on safari to the brilliant blue skies and emerald waters of Zanzibar and, in comparison to our safari lodges, Ocean Paradise was unabashed luxury. From the moment we entered the impossibly high-domed palm-thatched foyer we were all enraptured: the place was picture postcard perfect. And over the following week, it didn't... more

What an amazing place! The rooms were lovely and so close to the beach - we had one of the round huts as we were there on honeymoon. The staff were excellent with a superb variety of food and attention to detail every night with the restaurant layout. The only negative I can honestly think of, apart from having to... more

A friend and I paid US$152 per person, per night, half board, for a standard twin room. We booked directly. I've listed the most extreme of the positive and negative experiences we... more

It was a long journey; the flights (Virgin Travel) with Kenyan Airlines, were cramped and noisy but the hotel was immediately calming. The staff were friendly, and the bungalow charming. A stroll down to the pool and bar, with the palms swaying soothingly... more

We have just returned from Ocean Paradise and can't praise the hotel enough! We got married there and were treated really well. The staff were all great, really attentive without being overbearing. The rooms were great and the food was good too. The choices for vegetarians were good and themes meant that there was quite a good variety. The band... more

After a safari we were looking for a nice place to relax and to enjoy ourselves. With the Ocean Paradise Resort we have found the perfect spot. When we arrived at the reception of the resort, we enjoyed a fantastic view to the beach with many palm trees and the turquoise water. It is like the views you can find... more

Being the first time to Zanzibar we loved to stay at the Ocean Paradise. We spent 8 wonderful days in the great Swahili-Style Ambience. We had a very comfortable and spacious room, every day nicely decorated with fresh flowers and blossoms. For everyone who wants to get married in Zanzibar, we highly recommend the Ocean Paradise. Very helpful from the... more
