Options of two bars/restaurants with friendly staff; service in general very good - which is rare in Zanzibar. Food and drinks are good quality and many choices but also quiet expensive , similar to the 5-star hotels close by. Otherwise one of the best spots in Pemba! ##### Tilmann Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia Jan 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband and I stayed at Pemba Paradise for 4 nights in January 2023. There aren't a lot of options on Pemba, and of course Aiyana and Manta are the premium (and very expensive) places to stay on the northern end. Having stayed at a great number of hotels in many parts of the world, for Pemba Island I consider Pemba Paradise upper middle level. PROS: The property is quite extensive and the pool is quite nice. The beach area is beautiful and provides ample opportunity to walk for a long while. The stand out is the staff, which are exquisitely attentive and pleasant. They are actively doing maintenance on the general property and also on individual rooms. The rooms (we had 1A on the end top floor facing the ocean) are spacious and cleaned nicely. CONS: The rooms are well cleaned but have not been maintained in the best manner. For example, the paint around the shower window and many other places demonstrates huge and significant runs that are simply not typical of better maintained properties. Bottom line: This is a good property at which I would stay again. If you want a supreme luxury experience, stay at Aiyana or Manta. If you are fine with a very good property that could use a bit of maintenance, then Pemba Paradise if your place. ##### Cynthia Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda L.

Pemba Paradise offers the tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Hands down the best water/island I’ve ever seen. Everybody said the same. The resort was better than expected and meet with genuinely nice people with big smiles. We booked an extra night and became friends with the awesome local owner. It’s fun, relaxing if any problems it will get handled fast. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bernard Jan 10, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hôtel qui a du potentiel, mais un très mauvais management. Problème récurent du style pas de pression à la douche, châsse d'eau qui fonctionne mal, il faut tout demandé, le wifi, le ménage etc....ménage fait à vôtre demande et encore faut attendre 2h et s'inquiéter de récupérer la clé. Excellent restaurant, le cuisinier et vraiment très bon, petit problème, attendre jusqu'à 1h30 le repas alors qu'il y a deux couverts c'est compliqué. Hôtel loin du village a pieds. ##### Bernard Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### bernard Sep 19, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très reposant Après une route très chaotique qui traverse la forêt presque noire , et un village nous voici a l'hôtel face a la mer . Personnel charmant , étant seul nous avions commander , poulpes , crevettes et même langouste pour 20 us par personne. Chambre faite un jour sur deux , wifi seulement au restaurant, piscine un peu verte dommage , mais jardin bien entretenu . Nous ne nous sommes pas baignés. ##### bernard Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Resort Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Seychelles.h2363105.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ile Maurice](https://www.expedia.ca/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ile-Maurice.h524465.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson Hotel by Wyndham Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-Hotel-By-Wyndham-Victoria.h554224.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Touareg - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Touareg-All-Inclusive.h4813390.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Senses Zil Pasyon Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Felicite-Island-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zil-Pasyon.h15908699.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Belize-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d18-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in El Calafate](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Calafate-Hotels.d6023812.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hôtel Des Mille Collines](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Hotel-Des-Mille-Collines.h4230326.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-TBA-Times-Square.h46178156.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.ca/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Westin-Turtle-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1932372.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hillside Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bulawayo-Hotels-Hillside-Manor.h19119558.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Kigali](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Kigali.h17860494.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d6023515-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Karamboa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Karamboa-All-Inclusive.h4813332.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d178288-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (SAW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/saw/toronto-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Beirut (BEY) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bey/yul/beirut-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/cun/windsor-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) ### Packages > [Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/213/Hawaii) > > [Hawaii Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawaii.d213.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Ocho Rios Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Ocho-Rios.d553248635209673480.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Ryman Auditorium](https://www.expedia.ca/Ryman-Auditorium-Downtown-Nashville.d6080769.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Switzerland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Switzerland.d174.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Old Town Historic District](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-On-The-Lake-Old-Town-Historic-District.dx6347821)
