Very nice hotel with amazing surroundings, great staff, great rooms and a beautiful pool area! Also the small towns nearby are super fun with some great food options. Definitely recommend this place — enjoyed it a lot more than other places in Zanzibar.

Boa estadia mas não perfeita
A nossa estadia no Fun Beach em geral foi boa, no entanto, não classifico como excelente pois durante a nossa estadia nunca conseguimos tomar banho de agua quente e achámos que o staff no geral podia ser mais simpático e solicito na resolução de problemas. No caso da agua, tivemos que noa deslocar à recepção por tres vezes durante o dia e só a terceira vez e já sem estarmos muito satisfeitos é que disseram que iriam resolver. No entanto nunca ficou resolvido. Na altura em que estivemos choveu bastante e por isso não estavam aqueles dias de calor abrasador que poderiam ter ajudado a que tomar banho de agua fria não fosse um sacrificio. O hotel é muito bonito. Os quartos também, mas achámos que a maior parte do staff não tinha muita formação. Alguns falavam mal o inglês e poucos foram os que achámos realmente simpáticos. A piscina principal é fabulosa e a zona de praia quando a maré enche também é boa. No entanto, quem for para aqui terá poucas horas de maré cheia pelo que aconselho este hotel para quem gostar mais de piscina. A comida no hotel é boa mas o buffet do pequeno almoço achámos que podia ter um pouco mais de variedade.

À recommander, valeur sûre.
Excellent hôtel à l’ambiance familiale dans une zone calme et en bord de mer. Les logements sont jolis, modernes, bien équipés (climatisation et moustiquaire) et l’établissement de manière générale est très bien entretenu. Les piscines sont au nombre de 3, dont une partie ombragée (ce qui est un gros plus si vous voyagez avec des enfants). Le restaurant de l’hôtel propose des plats variés (fruits de mer, burgers, salades, plats locaux) pour des prix corrects (entre 8 et 14$). Enfin le personnel de l’hôtel est amical et souriant, tout est fait pour que le séjour se passe à merveille. Bonus, sur la plage il y a différents bars et restaurants qui offrent la possibilité d’une escapade à pied en journée ou en soirée.

Много писать не буду, скажу по существу и правду. Отель в целом интересный. Классный басик, есть арена для развлечений и пожалуй всё из положительного… В океан не зайти, песок как ил или глина… Номер очень маловат, всё пространство в нём маленькое… Еда - какое блюдо не закажи - будет невкусно… А вот завтраки - Шведский стол, очень хороши, объедение ))

We are apologizing for any inconvenience of the guests. When the situation was brought up to management, we immediately took action and started an investigation. However, during our investigation following up over the entire stay, the guests themselves gave us reason to be suspicious because their story was changing daily, while in the beginning IDs and other documents were missing with the money, there was no word about the documents when we followed up. Also, the guests refused to use the safe box in the room. Further the guests refused calm conversation in the managers office but making sure to start loud complains when other guests were around in order to put pressure on the situation while most of the day we could observe them being very relaxed and enjoying.
