Beach
Holidays in Zanzibar largely depend on which side of the island you chose the hotel. In the west, in view of the fact that there is only 40 km to the mainland of the water surface, there are almost never tangible tides. On the east, "looking" into the vast ocean, the ebbs and flows are very significant. They are up to 4 times a day, with water leaving the coast for 2 km. Especially tangible water movements in the area of Uroa beach. For this reason, it cannot be said that a beach holiday at the 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, since the sand on the beach is white and very soft, like flour, and umbrellas and sunbeds are always available, and they are free. If the tide is caught, 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 young children.
Adults and during high tide are not very comfortable relaxing on this beach, because there are too many algae. Some tourists think that they are being brought in from the ocean, but this is only partially true. In fact, in the Uroa region, the locals have whole plantations of these algae. They grow them and sell them in restaurants. Our tourists can even organize excursions to these underwater plantations.
During low tide, the hotel provides free transport to the nearby beach, 3.5 km from Uroa. Here, water level fluctuations are weaker, and the ocean is a little cleaner.
Those who rented a car do not depend on the quirks of nature, because any beaches of Zanzibar are accessible to them.
Leisure outside the hotel
To diversify your vacation, there are a lot of opportunities for the guests of Paradise Beach Resort 4 *. Zanzibar is an unusually beautiful and distinctive island. The most popular tourist destination here is Stone Town (Stone Town) 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. The unusual carved doors standing in almost every house attract attention in this city. In addition to Stone Town, tourists are always invited to visit the famous Josani forest with its unique plants and animals, spice plantations, the Tomb island, where flying dogs live, the Prison island to stare there on huge turtles. It is very interesting to do snorkeling and diving in Zanzibar, because the underwater inhabitants of coastal waters are unusually 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, a noisy fun life boils almost until the morning.

Paradise in Sri Lanka
In conclusion, I would like to briefly talk about the Lagoon Paradise Beach Resort 4 * hotel. It is also located in a tropical garden on the Indian Ocean, but on the other side from Zanzibar, namely in Sri Lanka, in the Tangalla region. It is also very beautiful, 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 town, 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, among which 12 are standard, 16 are deluxe and 7 are so-called Cabana, including 1 with a beach view and 6 with a view the lagoon. All are equipped with a TV, air conditioning, fan, fridge, furnished terrace and hygiene room. All rooms are very spacious and comfortable, made in white and brown colors.
A distinctive feature of this hotel is that it is very rare to sell tickets to the AI system. Mostly, breakfast is included in the room rate and is served in a restaurant by the ocean. Tourists must pay extra for lunch and dinner. Another inconvenience is that you can get from this hotel to the city only on tuk-tuk "accredited" at the hotel. Drivers' prices are quite high. The rest of the rest in this corner of Sri Lanka is excellent.
