We stayed here for 2 nights in October '12 and were 2 of only about 8-12 guests at this lodge. Our bungalow was beautiful, large, clean and right on the edge of the beach. Staff were brilliant and went out of their way to be obliging, helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant though not a large choice, was... More

I spent two nights here with my girlfriend and it was excellent. The rooms are massive and very nicely fitted, with a huge bathroom. The outdoor shower is great but there is a huge bathtub with indoor shower as well. The bed was enormous and very very comfortable, and the staff prepare it for you perfectly. The layout of the...

Beautiful location and nice rooms - a real tropical paradise right on the beach with a lovely pool. We were on half board, and generally found the food plentiful and pretty good. There was a substantial breakfast buffet of fruit, sweet and savoury pastries and breads, cereals, juice and yoghurts with a hot menu of eggs, bacon sausages etc, along... More

We spent 5 nights at Fumba encouraged by the reviews on TA and it was a fantastic break after a safari. Splurged by upgrading to a deluxe suite and had the east end of the resort virtually to ourselves. The location, accomodation, food, and staff were amazing. While we were there they were finishing paving the road all the way... More

We stayed for 3 nights at Fumba and it was an amazing experience. All the staff are very welcoming and the rooms are very unique. The luxury suites look onto a lovely beach and every morning we would swim in the warm ocean before breakfast. The rooms dont have air con but a large fan above the huge bed kept... More

We stayed at Fumba for about 8 nights over Christmas. The bungalows are clean, airy and well kept. We had a sea view which was perfect for getting any breeze and hearing the sounds of the waves. We had our last two nights in a suite with outdoor bathroom, fabulous and fun with the monkeys coming to visit. The whole... More

Fumba has ruined our changes of ever enjoying another beach holiday! It was fantastic and just what we needed. The sea front facing rooms are a must with the bed lounges and hammocks situated under the palm trees between your room and the sea. At high tide the water laps outside your room adding to the relaxing effect. At low... More

Stayed at Fumba for 5 nights as a reward for successfully climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, it was exactly what was needed! The beach front room is stunning and you wake to hear the waves breaking on the shore just outside your room. With a hammock and lounger just steps away from your front door it's definitely a place to relax and... More

Not sure there is enough space to say all the good things I want to say so will try to keep it brief (ish!). My husband and I went for a relaxing weekend here and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Rooms were amazing - spacious, comfy, lovely views leading right onto the beach, private balcony, wonderful bathroom -... More

The fist thing you notice about Fumba is it's beautiful gardens with Simba the maasai dog lying around somewhere in the trees. We received a lovely warm welcome form the assistant manager Joos who has the place running very well. The bar is made from an old Dhow boat and in the evening fruit is put out on the Big... More
