If you want a town with some action or choices of restaurants, this would not be the place to go. The drinks are overpriced. The evening buffet is excellent but the a la cart menu gets old fast.

Pemba is a special place, as it has lovely beaches, great diving/snorkelling, kind locals, but it is not yet over-developed by the tourism industry. There are only 4-5 resorts on the island and this is one of the few mid-priced ones. The pool is lovely and the rooms are spacious. There is a small private beach and at low tide it serves as a thriving seaweed farm which is interesting. The staff all went above and beyond to make us feel special and to make sure we had a positive experience. Emmy, the GM, was an attentive host, her assistant manager Grace is a rising star. Bello and Hussein worked so hard and always greeted us with a smile. The security team and all the staff were excellent. I also recommend hiring a local to take you on a walk through their nearby village.

Food and drinks expensive as well as laundry service. No other options.

Staff were very nice and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. We stayed in the premium rooms. Property has recently gone through a renovation and is quite nice and a good value compared to the other two options in the area. They are really trying to create a nice experience for guests. They had scooters for rent to explore the area. Nice beach to walk during low tide. It’s a nice option in an area that has limited options.

Food extremely expensive, more than any 5 stars I've been in Tanzania. The beach is basically unusable due to local seaweed cultivation

Amazing garden and swimming pool. Spacious rooms just renovated

Unreliable electricity and water availability. Staff is always friendly and helpful, but insufficiently trained.

Nicely located at a splended beach. Two more resorts to the north within 20 minutes walking distance along the beach. Few local restaurants within 20 to 40 minutes walking distance, as well as local markets for basic supplements, such as water, fruits etc.

Yusuf, the guy from the reception, is not the nicest one. The day before I left, I asked Yusuf for a taxi drive to the airport for the next day. The morning when I was supposed to leave, there was no taxi .. also there was nobody at the reception.. I was so happy that the cook was already in the hotel and he managed to call the taxi driver - with a delay of half an hour the taxi left the hotel. So keep that in mind if you order a taxi, it might be delayed and the drive duration to the airport is already 1 1/2 hours.

I enjoyed the stay at the hotel very much. The restaurant was really good, a bit pricy but I have to admit the dishes were worth every penny. I did my Open Water Diving Certification with the Company AfroDivers in Pemba North - the first dives in confined water were held at the pool in Pemba Paradise. I can also recommend that hotel if you‘re traveling alone - super chilled atmosphere! All in all I totally loved my stay in Pemba Paradise!

The food was very average with limited choice and no option than to eat all meals in the hotel. The service was erratic and slow.

Rooms and general facilities were very nice.

Hotel is too far from airport (aprox. 2h), and we arrange the transfer with the hotel. When we arrived at Pemba Airport, no one was waiting for us. We decided to take a taxi do hotel, and staff told us that could´t pick us because of a huge fire. But they didn´t even sent us a message informing us. The room doesn´t have a door to the bathroom. For some people could be a bit compelling, specially if you didn´t notice it in advance. We didn´t have hot water in the bathroom.

The hotel is placed in a nice and peacefull beach, in Pemba Island. Breakfast was ok. Dinner was good, but a bit expensive, compared to other hotel restaurants in Zanzibar.

It seems like Covid has really impacted the services available and service level at the property. For example, there were very few options for things to do that seemed to be available or else the staff were very reluctant to talk about them. Also, while the dining area staff was very friendly, it took a very long time for drinks and meals to be delivered.

The setting was beautiful - the pool area, the beach. It was nice to be able to walk along the beach in both directions at low tide. The dining area staff were very friendly. The beach lobster dinner was a real highlight for us- the staff built bowers of flowers, made a huge bonfire and then there was dancing and singing. Excellent.

The bill had mistakes- in two out of four. The total was high by over 50 dollar in both cases. Not sure it was just a mistake.

Ok

Your room does not get serviced unless you ask for it or complain about it. This does not match the rest of the hotel at all. Breakfast is the same every day. Staff need training, a lot. Every time you order a drink it will look different and if you are lucky the sun is still up by the time you get it. Just because the hotel is quiet doesn't mean you will get your drinks within an hour.

They have different specials on the dinner menu every day and it is best to order from that as they might not have everything on the their actual menu. The chef puts out some amazing meals and we were very happy with our dinners. The pool gets cleaned very well every morning and serviced during the day. Quite possibly the cleanest pool during our 3 weeks in Tanzania.

The way from the airport is about 1,5 hour - just to be considered for the trip planning. Right in front of the hotel beach the locals grow water plants: not a big issue, but expect the plants and ropes in about of 20 meters from the shore

Great place, probably the best in Pemba, especially if you're looking for the combination of silence and comfort. Very friendly staff and great environment for the pure relaxation.

Service sometimes slow (especially at sunset bar), some stuff show signs of rundown (public toilet and trampoline and table tennis broken), picture of famous Zanzibar slave trader in hall (doesn't deserve such a prominent place at entry), music (bit too loud and always same old fashioned classical music, as if it's a granny house; some more modern or African chill music would fit MUCH better)

Friendliness of employees, room size, gardening, massage lady, location at nice beach

The breakfast wasn’t a buffet. No wifi in the bedroom. Only in the reception.

The swimming pool and the bedroom were awesome. The view on the beach and the design ( entrance , reception ) were perfect.
