Fun Beach Hotel

Guests praise the spacious, clean rooms and bungalows, exceptional service, and top-notch facilities. The beautiful location on Jambiani village's white beach is also highly appreciated.

The resort was good. Although the drive from the airport to the resort was almost 1 hour 15 minutes the place was amazing and beautiful pools and overlooking the beach. The breakfast was not so great and most of the items got over quickly. The dinner was Al Carte with good options. Service was good but the breakfast menu should be improved to meet the international dietary standards. Service as good from the font desk and restaurant staff.

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
