Location
In a picturesque place on the island of Zanzibar, where white sand, palm trees and turquoise waters of the ocean, is Paradise Beach Resort 4. Tanzania, more precisely, its coastline from the island is located only 40 km. If you look at the map, you can see that Zanzibar rises from the water almost parallel to the continent, stretching from the southeast to the northwest. Its western side is washed by the Zanzibar Strait, and the eastern Indian Ocean. Approximately in the center of this part of the coast there is a large bay, on the shore of which the relatively large city of Kwaka Town has grown. Uroa Beach stretches 7 km from it with a wide hundred-kilometer ribbon. This is where the hotel we are describing is located. Within walking distance from it there are only small fishing villages, so the rest of the guests is perfectly calm and measured. Here you will find a special life, completely different from the mainland, natural areas untouched by man, beauty, purity and serenity.

Beach
A holiday in Zanzibar largely depends on which side of the island you are onchose a hotel. In the western part, due to the fact that there is only 40 km to the mainland of the water surface, there are almost never tangible ebbs and flows. On the east, "looking" into the endless ocean, the tides are very significant. They happen up to 4 times a day, and the water from the coast departs for 2 km. Water movements are especially noticeable in the Uroa beach area. For this reason, it cannot be said that a beach holiday at Paradise Beach Resort (Uroa) 4 stars is very successful, although the hotel is located almost on the beach. It is very good to sunbathe here, as the sand on the beach is white and very soft, like flour, and umbrellas and sunbeds are always available, and they are free. If you catch the tide, the entry into the water on the beach at the hotel is very even, the depth does not start from the shore itself, which is especially appreciated by vacationers with small children.
It is not very comfortable for adults to relax on this beach even during high tide hours, because there is too much algae here. Some tourists think that they are carried from the ocean, but this is only partly true. In fact, in the Uroa region, local residents have entire plantations of these algae. They grow them and sell them to restaurants. Our tourists can even organize excursions to these underwater plantations.
During low tides, the hotel provides free transport to the neighboring beach, located 3.5 km from Uroa. Here, water level fluctuations are less and the ocean is slightly clearer.
Those who rent a car are not dependent on the vagaries of nature, because they have access to any beach in Zanzibar.
Leisure outside the hotel
To diversify your vacation, there are plenty of opportunities for guests of Paradise Beach Resort 4. Zanzibar is an unusually beautiful and original island. The most popular place for tourists here is Stone Town (Stone City) and its so-called House of Miracles. This is the palace of the former Sultan of the country and at the same time a museum. In this city, unusual carved doors, standing in almost every house, attract attention. In addition to Stone Town, tourists are always invited to visit the famous Jozani Forest with its unique plants and animals, spice plantations, Grave Island, where flying dogs live, and Prison Island to stare at huge turtles there. Snorkeling and diving are very interesting in Zanzibar, because the underwater inhabitants of the coastal waters are extraordinarily beautiful.
In addition, tourists can rent a car or order a taxi and go to the west coast, where there are dozens of cafes, discos, bars and nightclubs. There, noisy cheerful life boils almost until morning.
Additional information

The hotel rooms are cozy and comfortable, but in them, as on the entire coast, the lights are often turned off. This entails turning off air conditioners and water supply.

Paradise in Sri Lanka
In conclusion, I would like to briefly talk about the Lagoon Paradise Beach Resort 4. It is also located in a tropical garden on the coast of the Indian Ocean, but on the other side of Zanzibar, namely in Sri Lanka, in the Tangalle region. It is also very beautiful here, there are many flowers and evergreen shrubs on the territory, bungalows under reed roofs, a pool and a bar are located in the shade of palm trees. The hotel is located on the coast, 7 km from the nearest city, so the rest here is also very calm and harmonious.
In Lagoon Paradise Beach Resort 4(Sri Lanka), only 35 rooms are offered for tourists, including 12 of the category "standard", 16 - "deluxe" and 7 so-called Cabana, among which 1 overlooks the beach and 6 overlooking the lagoon. They are all equipped with TV, air conditioning, fan,refrigerator, furnished terrace and hygiene room. All rooms are very spacious and comfortable, decorated in white and brown colors.
A distinctive feature of this hotel is that they very rarely sell tours using the AI system. Basically, the room rate includes only breakfast, which takes place in a restaurant on the ocean. Tourists have to pay extra for lunches and dinners. Another inconvenience is that you can get from this hotel to the city only by tuk-tuks "accredited" at the hotel. Driver fares are quite high. Otherwise, the rest in this corner of Sri Lanka is going well.
