Zanzibar Bay Resort

Paradise Beach resort is a great place to stay. We stayed 11 nights in room 62, with the best view on the sea. Please keep in mind that this is a children-friendly hotel. So a lot of playing kids and every night some sort of show or activity. Pro's - The staff is amazingly friendly. - The resort has 3 restaurants with great quality food. Not something we expted from a resort. - some shops located on the resort, for souveniers and small groceries. - the gym is new - cool activities to book from the resort Cons - the beach isn't that beutiful as other places on Zanzibar and the tides make it sometimes not possible to swim. - every night at 21.00 there is a show until 22.00 which is very loud. So sleeping is hard during this time. - Wifi is very slow

Jambo Jambo! Atmosphere is lovely, two hotels together. Service is good and very friendly and happy. Clean room, helpfull staff, lovely Latifa and Amina at restaurant. Beach is not beautiful, as we knew. Hakuna matata!

Let's start by saying that they are so lucky in these hotels (Zanzibar bay and Paradise beach are sharing rhe facilities) to have all these great people who are working here including the trainees. From the ones who were serving and welcoming in the resto and bars ( great thank to Miriam, Mariam) and Daudi the manager of the resto) to the animation team ( Haji and the whole team ) and cleaning staff. There is a positive atmosphere and is not like in other all inclusive hotel (not so intensive). We need to be clear that both hotels are three starts (I think the only difference is maybe is the rooms) even if Zanzibar it is clasifued 4 starts.When it comes to food, depends on your taste but you will find something. The fruits are good and the juices at the bars. The animation in the evening is nice and during the day you have also some actvities. As mentioned in other comments , for a real beach and for swimming the best option is to take the free shuttle from the hotel (30min) to a nice beach. They have it only in the morning (return at 13h00) but it is enough. At the hotel they have a small beach. I would.like to draw the attention to the excursions/taxi (from the hotel they have a company organising this). The one at Sallam cave with turtels - they are not in the natural environment and they are quite agressive. Several people from the hotel were bitten and nobody mentioned anything about this. So better to avoid this kind of artificial created places where animals are not in their envi. A last word on the Maasai tribe people that you will meet them on the beach outside the hotel. Some of them need to better understand that their attitude could be seen agressive at a certain moment if they insist and come to you everytime when they see you (they say pole pole but they need to learn also enough is enough).

We had a wonderful time at the hotel! The Asian and Indian restaurants were our absolute favorites. A special thank you to Willium and Andrew — such friendly and welcoming staff. Hopefully, we’ll return to the hotel someday
