Diese Unterkunft hat nur eine 10 Verdient. Wir haben wirklich nichts auszusetzen und es war ehrlicherweise eine der tollsten Unterkünfte in der ich jemals war. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie zuhause und die Gastgeber und Mitarbeiter sind so freundlich. Danke!!!!

Cons:

Wirklich nichts.

African Paradise pretty much sums it up!!
Pros:

What a hidden gem this place is! From the moment we arrived, Pia and Hasim made us feel at home (you couldn't ask for lovelier hosts). The staff were all so kind and attentive, the food was delicious, and the vibes were chill (we loved the eclectic playlists). Our room (Deluxe Double with Balcony) was simple but had everything we needed...and the view from the balcony...ahhhhh...priceless. Although the weather prevented us from venturing too far from our base, we had an amazing time just hanging out with the resident cats and dogs, playing games and reading (Pia has an extensive library of great books to choose from). We particularly appreciated that this place is so small with only a handful of rooms, and that it's not in a super touristy stretch of the coast. Instead, come early evening, the beach was abuzz with locals from the surrounding villages just doing their thing - there were games of football being played, cows just strolling along the sand, and boats heading out to sea. Our only regret is that we weren't able to stay for longer!! Thanks for a wonderful stay, Pia and Hasim...we hope to visit your little slice of paradise again sometime. :)

Sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die außerhalb der Hotelwelt die Küste von Sansibar genießen möchten. die Küste
Pros:

Wir haben unsere Zeit im African Paradise sehr genossen. Es ist noch ein weitgehend unberührter Strand mit eher einheimischen Besuchern. Die Atmosphäre im African Paradise ist sehr persönlich und herzlich. Das Essen ist frisch und äußerst lecker. Kurzum: African Paradise ist sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die außerhalb der Hotelwelt die Küste von Sansibar genießen wollen.

Traumurlaub am weißen Strand
Pros:

Das Besitzerpaar und die Angestellten dieses kleinen Hotels haben mich und die anderen Gäste liebevoll und aufmerksam mit allem versorgt. Der Tag beginnt mit einer Fruchtplatte, es folgen zwei weitere Gänge, die täglich variieren. Leckere Speisen und Getränke werden hier den ganzen Tag über frisch zubereitet.Kaffee, Wasser und Tee werden gratis serviert. Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet und lassen sich temperieren. Der Mückenschutz vor den Fenstern funktioniert perfekt! Traumhaft ist der Blick auf den weißen Strand, auf das Treiben der Fischer und die Ruhe an diesem Ort. Die vielen Stromausfälle von Sansibar werden stets nach wenigen Sekunden vom Aggregat aufgefangen. Das WLAN ist sehr gut. Der belebte Ort Paje lässt sich gut zu Fuß über den Strand erreichen. In der Nachbarschaft findet man weitere Bars und Restaurants.

Cons:

Das Meer ist an dieser Stelle der Insel sehr ruhig nicht tief, denn ein Korallenriff ist vorgelagert,sodass man zwar ein wenig Rückenschwimmen machen kann bei Flut, aber keine hohen Wellen erlebt.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at The African Paradise Hotel in Zanzibar and would highly recommend it!

The first thing that impressed me most was the beautiful beach view. The color of the ocean is absolutely stunning, the beach is clean and peaceful, and every day it was a pleasure just to walk along the shore, relax, and watch the sunset. The whole atmosphere is incredibly calm and relaxing, making it a perfect place to truly slow down and enjoy island life in Zanzibar.

The food was also excellent. Every meal felt carefully prepared, everything tasted great, and the ingredients were fresh. Dining in such a beautiful seaside setting made the experience even more enjoyable.

What made the stay especially memorable, though, was the owner couple. They were genuinely kind, welcoming, and extremely patient. Whenever I had a question or needed help, they were always ready to assist with warmth and care. Throughout my stay, I really felt that they truly wanted every guest to feel comfortable and happy.

If you are looking for a hotel with a beautiful beach, delicious food, and warm, friendly hosts, The African Paradise Hotel is definitely worth choosing. Thank you for making my trip to Zanzibar even more special!

Le bonheur!
Pros:

Nous avons tout aimé car c est un petit hôtel géré par un couple adorable Pia et Hachin qui sont chaleureux au possible et plein d attentions.
L hôtel se situe sur la plage et n a que 9 chambres donc on est en famille. Loin de la foule des hôtels plus luxueux et anonymes.
Ça n est pas le luxe mais c est mieux que ça!
Les chambres sont nettoyées chaque jour.
On déjeune, dîne dehors. Les petits déj sont copieux et bons, la cuisine pourrait être plus variée quand on reste longtemps mais les plats sont bons, bien fait et face à la mer tout le temps.
La musique est excellente !
On peut marcher sur la plage et trouver des petits restos si on a envie de changer d endroits.
Possibilités de faire des excursions etc....
Mon mari a fait une otite et le propriétaire nous a enmenés au dispensaire le plus proche pour éviter trop de frais. Le personnel est adorable sans se forcer, Rose, Flora, Adana et les chats et chiens de la maison font partie du bonheur.

Cons:

Rien à part la mer qui se retire très très loin avec les marées.
Mais ça c est la nature.

Omistajapariskunta on todella mukava ja sydämellinen. He tekevät kaikkensa, että vierailusi onnistuu täydellisesti. Jokainen yksityiskohta on huolellisesti mietitty. Myös hotellin ravintola on erinomainen. Suosittelen tätä paikkaa kaikille, jotka haluavat rentoutua upeissa rantamaisemissa.

Come sentirsi a casa...ma in un angolo di paradiso!
Pros:

Un vero angolo di paradiso, dove ogni dettaglio è curato con grande attenzione. La gentilezza e la disponibilità dei proprietari, insieme a quelle di tutto il personale, hanno reso il soggiorno ancora più piacevole, mentre il cibo si è rivelato semplicemente eccellente.
Un’esperienza da ricordare e da consigliare!

Pros:

The accommodation is great.
Food is awesome, perfect location and very nice rooms.
The highlight are the owners and the staff.
They are very kind, offer their help everywhere they can. There are free games, beach volleyball, snorkeling masks and a very good WiFi etc.
Moreover sometimes they hand out a free drink or snack.
The hotel isn’t too big so you get to know the staff, owners and other guests.
If you want a couple calm days, this is the perfect stay and you have no reason to leave the place for days.

Cons:

Bwejuu is a bit far from all the action.
So if you want a bit more Cafés or restaurants around it’s maybe not perfect. But you can take a Tuk tuk or bus to Paje for little money or do a short beach walk.
The advantage is that it’s very calm, not many tourists and you have the beach fully for yourself.

Pros:

Abbiamo iniziato la nostra vacanza a Zanzibar da African Paradise e ci siamo sentite a casa. Un angolo di pace e relax immerso nella realtà locale, gestito da Pia e suo marito, due parsone molto solari e attente a non farti mancare niente. Anche il resto dello staff era sempre gentile e attento. Abbiamo mangiato piatti locali cucinati con cura, fatto abbondanti colazioni (succo di mango e ananas delizioso!!!) e dormito bene. Camera di dimensioni accettabili, sempre pulita. Bagno un po' particolare nel suo genere, ma in linea con la semplicità della struttura. Balconcino vista mare meraviglioso! Una volta andate via ci mancavano anche le cornacchie che abitavano le palme vicine 🤣 torneremo molto volentieri!!! 😍 grazie ancora Pia!!
