Fun Beach Hotel

Un bonne service mais emplacement un peu éloigné

A little disappointed to be honest but I think the three rating is fair. We arrived late and immediately had to pay the tax which was USD32 (4 nights x USD4 x 2 people). This was after the mandatory travel insurance to visit Zanzibar in the first place and the visas submitted for Tanzania. Whilst these factors are outside of the hotel's control, I am making sure other travellers are aware that a trip to Tanzania where a visa is required will cost a minimum of USD50 and then Zanzibar USD44 for mandatory insurance (which probably won't be as good as your own cover anyway) and then 4USD per night per person again. In effect, a short extension to our safari cost an extra USD120 on top of our hotel costs for my wife and I. The other reason for mentioning is this was the up-front payment as we arrived late after a long day of travel and surely could have been done the following day. We enjoyed breakfast and a big thanks to a petite young lady I think was called Julie-Rose. She was by far the most helpful member of staff. I do think some staff could do with some direction though as they often congregated together with phones out which over the next few days ended up with me going direct to the chef for my egg choice as there was nobody around. We also went later one morning to find the fruit all gone and none of the staff seemed to notice. My wife also wanted to use the spa and there was a misunderstanding on the initial price so I went to enquire. The advertised spa is not on-site and is at the sister hotel and advised 7 mins away. My wife was told it was USD5 to get there and I was then told after clarification it was actually 5USD EACH WAY. We messaged the spa direct on WhatsApp and the respondent gave a different view but my wife just decided she wasn't going to go at all after the palaver. As a result they lost business. I then asked for a copy of the trips and prices that the hotel runs and was talked though them in reception but could not be given a copy or borrow the sheet. I said I just wanted to take to the room for 5 mins to show my wife but this was not an option. I advised I had an electronic one in my emails anyway from a month or two back after contacting the hotel and I would dig out when on a secure network. In the end, we went with another company so they lost business again and that was without knowing if it was any better/cheaper. So on the point of network, and after being in the heart of the Serengeti a few days earlier where I didn't expect any Wi-Fi at all let alone secure, I was a little disappointed that this hotel's offering is not secure. Especially since the office connections are. On reading the information available on a laminated sheet in the room, we then found out it was an extra 5% to pay by card. Losing business continued over the next few days as we decided to eat out and it wasn't because the food looked inferior; I think we'd just reached a saturation point. On our final evening, I tried to settle our

Contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire dans certains avis, cet hôtel est absolument remarquable tant par les infra structures, la gentillesse du personne que par la nourriture et les tarifs appliqués. Nous y avons séjourné avec des amis pendant 4 nuits et en sommes partis avec regret. Je le recommande vivement. Dominique, Brigitte, Alain et Claudine

Lugar con encanto. Mucha seguridad privada 24h y playa vigilada. Piscina muy limpia y grande con buenas vistas. Salida directa a la playa. Se puede ir caminando a Paje (45min) y a Jambiani (15 min). Habitaciones bien equipadas, limpias, con mosquitera y acogedoras. Si bien el comedor y la zona de restauración son muy bonitos, la atención de algunos camareros deja que desear (intentan rascar cualquier dólar extra engañándote en la cuenta). Hay que estar muy pendiente y revisar los tickets. La comida es buena y hay variedad. El desayuno es tipo buffet y acuden todo tipo de insectos a la comida y a los comensales (avispas, moscas, mosquitos…). Además por ahí también se pasean gatos que se llegan a subir a la mesa y revolotean cuervos que si pueden comen del plato. Para nosotras esta fue la única gran pega del alojamiento. Adjuntamos fotos

It was disappointing being discussing out check out time the whole 2 days. We had to leave 1 day before due to a flight change and it took many conversations to let them understand why we would after check out time but the day before of our end of stay. We had to discuss the issue with 6 different members of staff saying we had cancelled the last night. Finally we could solve everything thanks to jannet who was very nice and helpful in every moment. About the installations the toilets weren't clean. We didn't have shampoo on the shower. Breakfast was buffet, which was okey. Pool was very nice but just for the issue we didnt enjoy the place...

Na een super Safari nog even relaxen op Fun Beach wat echter en beetje tegen valt. We zijn woensdag aangekomen en maandag gaan ze dicht voor renovatie. Dit is achter te merken aan meerder dingen drankjes zijn op en worden niet meer aangevuld. Personeel is ook bezig met het klaar maken voor de renovatie.
