    We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful gardens and ruins at Jungle Paradise Beach Resort & Spa. Our room had a stunning sea view and direct beach access. The sunset views from the natural beach were breathtaking. The restaurant offered delicious food with vegetarian options and reasonable prices.

    I had an amazing stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel! From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of relaxation and was warmly welcomed by the helpful staff. The beautiful garden surrounding the hotel was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. I loved having direct access to the beach, where I could relax on the sunbeds and take in the stunning sunset views. The restaurant offered delicious food with a variety of options, and I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit juices. The hotel manager was also very helpful in arranging transfers and a walking tour in the nearby town. the location, service, and quality of this hotel exceeded my expectations.

    This hotel would be a great choice for families, with its spacious rooms and convenient location near the airport and Stone Town.

    The breakfasts were absolutely mouthwatering with a wide variety of options available at the buffet. The garden and authentic old ruins area created a beautiful atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The lunch and dinner food was top-notch and although slightly more expensive, it was worth every penny. Watching the stunning sunsets by the sea was a truly mesmerizing experience. During high tide, we were able to swim in the sea, adding to the enjoyment of our stay. The terrace up in the trees provided a breathtaking view, making it the ideal spot to unwind. The manager was extremely helpful and organized a fantastic day trip to the Marine protected area of Chumbe and Chumbe island. The hotel truly felt like a real jungle with the sounds of galagos and the sight of crabs wandering around. Its proximity to the airport and the opportunity to explore the Spice farm and Stone Town made it a convenient choice for us. it was a great value for money, especially for a short stay after or before a flight.

    The value for money was great, especially for a short 1-2 day stay. The room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely outdoor terrace. The staff, from reception to restaurant, were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

    Hotel breakfast could be improved with more variety.

    the staff was always friendly and smiling, making our thanksgiving holiday enjoyable. the location was perfect with a breathtaking view from the balcony. We also loved the clean and inviting pool.

    The breakfast options were limited and not very appetizing. the Wi-Fi in our room was almost non-existent, making it difficult to stay connected.
