    Fantastic – if I go back to Zanzibar, I‘ll go to Fun Beach again.January 2023

    The pools are amazing. Huge enough for real swimming and with enough space to share with people who only want to relax in there. The bungalows are really nice, reading and relaxing in the hammock is awesome. The staff is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and helps a lot to make your holidays especially nice and welcoming. I want to mention Aysher and Daniel from the reception as well as Naomi from the restaurant as being main contributors to that feeling.

    I recommend this establishment. The swimming pools are great, there are billiards and table football available. At the end of the afternoon or during the hottest hours, it’s nice. The restaurant is very good. We enjoyed ourselves, especially with the daily specials. The prices are correct. We enjoyed the happy hour for cocktails 🍸

    “We will definitely be back” – February 2023

    We had a great time at the Fun Beach Hotel… the staff was always friendly and responded to everything to ensure a pleasant stay. No wish was left unfulfilled for tours around and on Zanzibar… even individual wishes were taken into account. Whether freshly grilled food on a sandbank in the ocean, snorkeling in the reef, or swimming with dolphins in the morning… there is something for everyone. The pool right in front of the room provides the necessary cooling of the expected heat of the island. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The locals have always given us a friendly welcome. Even though Zanzibar and Tanzania is a poorer country on earth, we didn’t lack for anything… thank you for the many beautiful impressions and memories. We will definitely be back… Hakuna Matata Susi & Fred

    “Dream Trip” – February 2023

    We were greeted like queens upon arrival at the hotel… a fresh welcome cocktail which was very good, 3 large pools just exceptional. The decor is very beautiful. The hotel is by the sea overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The white sand is fine, the turkish water I have rarely seen that. The calm of the hotel. The friendly staff, always attentive and with a smile my little princess” “CELINE” “was super spoiled. The opportunity to enjoy the pool once the room was returned because we had our plane at night and to take a shower that is made available. A huge game room..g We tested 4 hotels in total on Zanzibar this is by far the best we have done. I recommend this little piece of paradise. A big thank you to all the staff and very soon ❤️

    “It is excellent value for money.”March 2023

    We spent 4 nights there and fell in love with the place. The hotel is very beautiful, well maintained, on the beach with 3 large swimming pools. The rooms at the back are quiet and surround a very nice swimming pool. The bedroom is well designed, with a nice walk-in closet which is very practical for storing your belongings, and the restaurant serves excellent food. The staff has always been very polite and pleasant. It is excellent value for money.
