The property is lovely surrounded by palm trees. The rooms are spacious. We liked that the various buildings of rooms were only 2 floors and each had a veranda. We were especially impressed with their buffets. Incredible variety of foods and very well prepared. The only thing it lacks from our perspective is a couple more a la carte restaurants. There is only one in the resort, the rest are buffets.

Funana Fantastic

I stayed for a week with family. The hotel has everything you could wish for, it has African decor, to give you a true authentic African atmosphere with terracotta and dark wood, African paintings, The cleaners and maintenance workers never stop. The restaurants are great, the pool is fabulous, the beach is a stroll to the back of the hotel grounds. I highly recommend

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the night entertainment, especially the kids activities, the food at the buffet restaurants and the cleanliness of the property. The gardens are immaculate and very well looked after. Two out of three A la carte restaurants should not be closed 3 days per week, by the time we checked in they were fully booked. The rooms are in need of refurbishment, they don't meet 5 stars standards. The mini fridge in the rooms only offer two bottle of water, we stayed for three nights at a different 5* hotel in the island and they were offering a selection of soft drinks and beer in the room. Air conditioning in the room works fine but again, the vents are dated and you cannot switch between different modes such as dry, cool, fan.. or intensities. Overall a very good experience, expecially for families with young kids, but if you are a couple or looking for a 5* experience and comfort you might find other hotels in the island meeting your expectations fully and a better value for money.
