This large resort is located on Zanzibar’s east coast in the resort-heavy Kiwengwa region. It is operated by Gulf Hotels. The resort comprises 98 rooms, two of which are Junior Suites. The rooms are housed in modernized copies of traditional Swahili chalets with makuti (palm thatch) roofs. The chalets are spread out over 6.5 hectares of sculpted garden. This takes the edge off the sterile ‘chain’ feel which tends to stain branded resorts of this size.

The resort offers a choice of restaurants. The Ocean Restaurant is the main eatery. It is on the second floor and has wonderful views. Here an extensive daily breakfast buffet is served as well as, by candlelight, the evening buffet. The menu changes daily. Food is good and the hotel uses fresh local produce. However Ocean Paradise’s menu is not as exciting or consistently well prepared as that of some of the other resorts in the region
