Reviews and Ratings
Fumba Beach Lodge is truly a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The bungalows provide a unique touch with private terraces and outdoor showers, making it feel like a personal oasis. The staff go above and beyond, providing warm service that made our stay even better. However, while the dinner was generally wonderful, there could be more variety in the menu. Overall, I can't wait to return to this tranquil paradise!
My stay at Fumba Beach Lodge was an absolute delight! The accommodation was stunning and perfectly aligned with the beautiful surroundings of Zanzibar. I loved the tranquil atmosphere, making it a great escape from the hustle and bustle. However, the expensive day tours were rather disappointing. Still, the overall experience was memorable, and I would definitely return!
The experience at Fumba Beach Lodge was a mixed bag. While the location offered beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere, the beach wasn't ideal for swimming due to the tides. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making for a pleasant stay. However, the facilities need some renovation, and the dining could improve in variety and quality, especially for breakfast.
Fumba Beach Lodge is a perfect retreat after a busy safari, offering a peaceful beachfront experience with a laid-back atmosphere. The spacious rooms and unique outdoor showers added a special touch to our stay. The service provided by Sharon and her team was outstanding, making us feel truly welcomed and at home. The dining options were good, although I would have loved more variety in fresh fruits. Overall, it was a fantastic place to relax, but some facilities could use updates.
Staying at this charming eco lodge was truly a delightful experience. Nestled in a lush tropical forest with breathtaking ocean views, it felt like a hidden paradise. The cottages were clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated for relaxation, though they weren't overly luxurious. The staff was wonderfully accommodating, enhancing our stay with their friendly demeanor. While we enjoyed our meals, the dining options were somewhat limited due to the location, and the Wi-Fi availability was less than ideal. Overall, this place is a fantastic escape, especially for nature lovers and families seeking peace and tranquility.
