Exquisite Culinary Experience

I truly enjoyed the dining options at Ocean Paradise. The food was really good, with a variety of themed dinners that changed nightly. The Indian night was a standout! Breakfast also offered fresh fruit and made-to-order juices, making each meal enjoyable and nice. Scott, the Food and Beverage Manager, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was perfect. I can't say enough about the quality and flavor of the food here!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

During my stay at Ocean Paradise, I indulged in a couple's massage at the spa, which was an very nice experience. The treatment came with access to the sauna and jacuzzi, allowing us to unwind completely. The staff was skilled, and my husband actually fell asleep during his massage, which speaks volumes to the quality of the service. It was a perfect way to relax after a busy safari trip!

The resort was a fantastic retreat after our safari, with a stunning beach and excellent food options. The rooms were spacious and clean, though I wished for bathrobes to match the quality of our safari lodges. The service was generally good, but I had some issues with the staff's treatment that made me uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxing getaway, but I hope improvements are made for employee well-being.
