We spent 2 weeks at Ocean Paradise and are more than happy we chose this resort which basically is direclty at the beach. The bungalows, lobby, restaurants, interieur, even the sunbeds are have a very authentic style (wood, palm leafs, etc.) and complement the very well maintained site, the colourful garden and its many palmtrees perfectly. The staff (waiters, chefs, animation team, cleaning team, gardeners, spa, reception, security & management) is super friendly, always willing to help and definitely succeeds in making your vacation unforgettably great. Everyone seems to love working there and is happy when the guests are so. The food is amazing and of high quality - for dinner there‘s always a motto like bbq, indian, italian, swahili, asian and always exceptional live cooking (e.g. Stuffed Naan made in an original tandoori grill - can highly recommend to try this). You will find delicious, local, exotic fruits at breakfast and at dinner. Traveling as a couple, we were not looking for a place with 24/7 animation & all day loud music and also regarding this, Ocean paradise was perfect for us. They offer a few activities that you can join if you‘d like to (the village tour is a must if you‘d like to find out more about how locals live), there‘s billard, ping pong, beach volleyball, aqua fitness and a gym. At the spa, they offer great wellness treatments and massages as well as programs incl. Sauna, Hamam, peeling/scrubs, shower, face mask, massage and jacuzzi - we did the African program and can highly recommend it. Although we were there during everyone‘s summer vacation and the resort was at least for some days in full use of its capacity (about 200 guests) we never felt like it was super crowded or full as there‘s enough space. We always found free sunbeds at the spacious, fenced beach area. In that area one can get good rest and is not exposed to the beach boys and massai who start talking to tourists as soon as they leave the hotel area to sell things from their shops (this happens to guests of any hotel). We can highly recommend a reef tour with 1 or 2 massai to see some marine wild life (don‘t forget shoes to protect your feet from sea urchins and other spiky creatures). We did not have one mosquito bite (did not really see mosquitos at all) but used „Anti Brumm tropical“ outside in the dark and felt very safe with the mosquito net that is being unfurled by housekeeping team during dinner time. All in all, we didn‘t miss anything, expectations were exceeded and we would love to come back one day!
