The African Paradise Beach Hotel

We had the most amazing stay at the African Paradise Beach Hotel! It was by far our best stay at a hotel ever. The owners are some of the nicest people we have ever met and so hospitable, they will make you feel so welcome and are willing to help with everything you need (if you need advice on what to do, what are the best times to go somewhere, taxis, etc). The hotel is very beautiful and the sitting area in front of it is lovely. The location of the hotel is great as it’s right on the beach and compared to some other parts of the island, Bwejuu is tranquil and very relaxing. The beach and ocean are lovely. It’s very close to Paje, which we ended up visiting multiple times. The tides didn’t bother us at all, you get to swim plenty. The breakfast, which exists of 3 courses, is such a nice start of every day and very filling and delicious. Some adjustments had to be made for me, which was no problem at all for the hotel to do. We also ate a lot of our lunches and dinners at the hotel since it’s just such a nice place to sit and eat either on the balcony or the sitting area on the beach, and the food is sooo good. The cooking is done so well and truly everything is delicious and tasty! We couldn’t get enough of it. Things like the cocktails, wines and fruit smoothies were great as well. The staff is sooo nice, attentive and quick, the service at the hotel is impeccable and everybody makes you feel at home. They also surprised my partner with a cake for his birthday and sang for him, which was so thoughtful! Our room was cleaned everyday. We had airconditioning in the room (as in, an AC unit) but turning on the ceiling fan at night was already good enough for us and we ended up only turning the airconditioning on in the evenings and shortly in the mornings. In summary, everything was amazing and such a positive experience. We want to again thank the owners and the staff for our lovely time and if we ever return to Zanzibar, we will definitely stay here again!
