TL;DR
Guests report that the bar at Fun Sun hotel charges separately even on all-inclusive packages — beer costs around $5 per can.
There is also a bar on the second floor above reception: cozy, with a coffee machine and a cocktail menu (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) on the tables. However, there's usually no bartender there — he works downstairs and only comes up if he notices guests.
At the beach bar, the bartender is described as unfriendly and unresponsive even to tips (100 Egyptian pounds didn't help); guests suggest bringing your own glasses. Bartenders at the reception bar, by contrast, are rated as fine.
One guest reported that at the beach bar, Coke, Fanta, and Sprite are allegedly given selectively — only to certain foreign guests, while others are refused.
According to a recent update, the lobby bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks 24/7. Guests also report that basic cocktails are available at all bars, while other drinks are charged extra.
One guest recommends sticking with the same bartender and tipping about $2 for better cocktails and faster service with less waiting.
Fun Sun hotel has two bars on site. The bar near the animation stage has reportedly rude staff and tips make no difference. The far bar offers packaged juices and beer, though beer quality is inconsistent. During peak times such as evening shows, queues can be very long and beer may be limited to one glass per person.
A guest with an all-inclusive package found that the bar at Fun Sun hotel charges separately. A can of beer cost $5, which came as a surprise given the all-inclusive wristband. It is advisable to clarify bar terms at check-in.
Another guest asked whether the Fun Sun bar has a cocktail menu and whether drinks are covered by the all-inclusive package. It is recommended to ask for the bar menu and confirm what is included before ordering.
Travelers planning evenings out in Sharm el-Sheikh note the importance of checking in advance whether hotel bars are open in the evening and whether drinks are covered by the package. The Fun Sun situation shows that all-inclusive does not always mean free alcohol.
