"This place was absolutely beautiful and very historic. The cherry on top was the AMAZING service. We only spent one night here but wish we were able to stay more. Very close to the water and lots of shopping around. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ycona resort in Zanzibar. From the moment we entered the resort the workers made us feel like we were at home. They allowed us to have an early check in after our morning flight. We stayed in the beach villa, which was absolutely magnificent. Private pool, great views of the ocean, and a rooftop tub as well. The villa was clean and well-cooled, a perfect place to relax and soak up the sun.
What really made our stay at Ycona special was the amazing service from everyone present. Whenever we needed to go somewhere, a golf cart was ready within 10 minutes to take us around the resort, and the drivers, especially Omar, were extremely kind and accommodating. The food was amazing as well at all of the restaurants, and the romantic dinner we did had a fantastic meal. Grace, Esther, Samwel, Omar, Leyla, Anja the GM, and everyone else we met were ready to do everything they could to make our stay memorable and enjoyable and that is truly what made our stay so special. The Cave Spa was also well worth the money.
Ycona was a 10/10 experience with a beautiful resort and setting and I’m looking forward to coming back whenever I return to Zanzibar. "
"An absolute gem of a hotel! The building is absolutely beautiful and feels like it has been there forever, even in the new parts. The room was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. They filter their water so you can use the taps no problem to brush teeth but they provide lots of bottled water as well. The location is perfect for exploring Stone Town, which is very safe to walk around on your own. The views of the ocean from the hotel are endless. And the staff goes above and beyond - everyone is helpful, always smiling and wants to make sure your stay is perfect. Our only regret is we didn't spend an extra few nights here. "
"The room was beautiful and very clean. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was wonderful. And a great location for walking around Stone Town which was very safe. In all an excellent stay. "
"I’d rate my stay here a solid 10/10! Even though I travelled solo, it never once felt like it. The resort truly felt like a home away from home. The environment was stunning and peaceful, the staff were outstanding, and the service was top-notch with prompt assistance whenever needed. If I ever return to Zanzibar, this will definitely be my go-to place to stay."
