Nungwi5 nights5.0 star property9.2/10 - Wonderful (117 reviews)"One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, although Tuesday’s DJ evening was disappointing. The DJ played a song requested by Israeli guests which, as a supporter of a free Palestine, I personally found upsetting and inappropriate. I noticed many people left after the song, although I cannot speak for their reasons. I would encourage the hotel to be more mindful of music choices and guests’ sensitivities. Aside from this incident, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay."Reviewed November 13, 2026Return • Brisbane (BNE) - Zanzibar (ZNZ)BNE - ZNZ • 2 stops ZNZ - BNE • 2 stopsAU$6,804AU$5,425found 5 hours agoper traveller - Ycona Luxury Resort

The location is good, the pool area is nice, and the staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay. That said, there are a few points worth being aware of. The rooms appear more worn in reality than the pictures suggest, which detracts from the overall impression. In addition, the food unfortunately falls below expectations. Considering the price, the culinary experience could have been significantly better.
