The food was surprising, good considering the island logistics. We enjoyed our stay, and the all-inclusive option was brilliant. the Staff were always friendly which made up for any challenges the hotel had. I would definitely recommend the hotel based on value. There are very good alternate eating options if you get tired of main buffet. We used the hotel excursions next to reception to do tours of island. I would recommend the snorkeling trip to Mebe island in the north. Remember to budget this into your stay. You are look at 60 USD for a day trip.

This wis not the hotels' fault but it is situated in a bay that has a large tidal change. the only real swimming options are from the pier. The swimming pools were great to make up for this.

The staff are superb, amazing food between the main dinning area plus the 2 restaurants provide great options, the drinks selections are wonderful. The room with the beach view was amazing especially to catch a sunrise and sunset, room was basically perfect, everything worked as it should, water was always perfect temperature. Pools are well kept. All in all good value and great team of ppl who really make an effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

The tide phenomenon wasn’t the greatest as you can only swim in a specific window however this is a general/widespread occurrence of nature through Zanzibar and we were not surprised as we knew beforehand.

Just back from 1 week stay here- could not fault it- beautiful tropical resort with lots of pool areas to go inside- it's right on the beach- lots of food options along with drink options. Highly reccomend

We are not really beach people so this didn't bother us- but if you do like the beach where the hotel is situated the beach isn't really nice- alot of smelly sludge and very stoney- not many people were swimming here.

The location of the resort is perfect and I would recommend any one that wants a break to go there and relax. No worries if you have any issue you can speak to management and they will sort it out for you. Will definitely go again.

There is no Ice on the resort, get an ice machine there is aircons in the room running 24/7 but you cant make any ice. Having a hot soft drink on a hot day is not so nice. Please I recommend that you get an ice machine the customers will be a lot happier when they stay over.

The vibes of the resort are amazing. There are many places to relax and just chill and forget about the world. My favorite place was the far end of the deck. The rooms are comfy, and the view is a life changer. There was a pop up outdoor cinema, that was pretty cool, and we found out about it by chance while we were roaming around. The food was great, three delicious meals per day, felt like home 😅 the staff are very nice, the manager Ms. Marilyn I think, I'm not sure I got it right, she's a magnificent person. Mr. Nestori is also a really great person. And the Arabic chef is extremely amazing. All the staff were very cool. Overall, if I ever went back to Zanzibar, I'm definitely going to stay there.

The only thing I could comment about is the toilets do not have sprinklers, which is a downside to many cultures from around the world.

Fantastic experience. Staff went out of their way to make the stay fantastic. Emmanuel at the front desk in particular was excellent! Loved the Coconut bar and the Jetty bar. Service at the Namaste restaurant was also incredibly good.

Maybe instead of needing to sell to you on the spa packages at the pool, rather include info on them in the room, also on the trips etc. A printed out map of the entire resort would have been great at arrival just to navigate everything. But it was an excellent experience overall, and highly recommended.

Paradise is a very aesthetically pleasing resort on a nice beach. The weather was amazing in August. The resort is clean and well maintained, the staff are well trained and pleasant. I liked the quality of the food as well. Many props to the mixologists, their cocktails are very good! You should book the all-inclusive option, you might just get upgraded to premium! I think the animation team could poll guests about activities they would like, they had low turn outs often.

Spa - it could be cleaner, the drainages in the showers and bath had a smell. Also the services were hit and miss. I signed up for a hotstone massage and asked that my shoulders needed extra attention and the attendant ignored it. They also massaged just the back of my body and not front, when I enquired they told me that the hotstone is for back only, which is also why they ignored my shoulders. I was really annoyed since they didn't tell me this before, and it was expensive. Mattress - my mattress had some damage around where your shoulders would be, a slight depression, so my back was always sore when I woke up(small bed in 045).

Really enjoyed my 5 nights here as a solo traveller, a very calm relaxing place with plenty of variety, bars/pools/restaurant options. The food was exceptional and plenty of vegan/veggies item. Especially the local dishes in the clay pots. These were my go to's every afternoon and evening. Having stayed in Nungwi for a week before I would definitely recommend seeing more of the island rather than just staying here in Murimbi as you don't get the full Zanzibar experience however Paradise resort and Spa is a very good relaxing place to be. Great value for money and definitely recommend full board/all inclusive!

The beds could do with some investment as was not the most comfortable! As with sun loungers these could also be replaced as abit out dated. Food at buffet could perhaps be labeled with the odd allergy information such as dairy/egg/gluten.

The hotel exceeded my expectations, was mostly impressed by staff kindness and professionalism. Wonderful place 10/10

Nothing serious

We were re-booked to Reef and Beach Resort - this review is thus for Read and Beach Resort, and not for Paradise Beach Resort. We stayed at Paradise Beach in September 2022 and loved it - you are welcome to read my review rating Paradise Beach from September 2022. Reef and Beach is a very large resort, located in the South East south of Jambiani. It is part of the Paradise group, which also owns and runs Paradise Beach and Zansibar Bay. Reef and Beach has one large pool and one small pool, and three bars. The jetty bar is open 24/7. The huge jetty which is located in the most beautiful turquoise water is the main drawcard of Reef and Beach, together with the mangrove forest and the cute monkeys. It’s possible to swim in the ocean and around the jetty it is really extremely scenic. The rooms are average …a bit dark and not so upmarket…but overall completely adequate. The food is amazing, buffet style with a huge variety and never ending supply. All inclusive drinks are good and tasty. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. This is a large resort, many people which is great for socializing and just being in a huge crowd of interesting people from all kinds of Nationalities. Really enjoyed the Spa and can recommend the Cleopatra treatment. The closest beach to kitesurf is in Jambiani. Just outside is a small shop run by Fatma, which also sells the Adidas Zanzibar soccer jerseys. The WiFi is very good most of the time, I got speeds of up to 60 MB/second which I believe is more than enough when beach holidaying.

Reef and Beach is a very large resort, located in the South East south of Jambiani. We liked it, but some visitors might consider this as being too large to too touristy. Jambiani is a little far, but it did not to bother us at all.
