We had an amazing time during our stay here. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our villa was so gorgeous, and hidden away so it felt really private. Overall, such a beautiful stay and we would recommend our own family and friends here!

We had an exceptional stay at Ycona Luxury Resort—truly one of the best resorts I’ve ever visited. The villa was beautifully designed, combining luxury with lush greenery and a variety of trees that created a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. As a wildlife enthusiast and photographer, I was thrilled to spot incredible species right from the resort grounds, including a Zanzibar Red Colobus monkey, a Red Squirrel, and the stunning Woodland Kingfisher. Everything about the stay felt curated and serene—from the elegant layout of the resort to the natural surroundings. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious yet nature-filled retreat in Zanzibar.

The property was beautiful. We stayed in a beachfront villa Y3. Everyone was amazing from Tess at the front desk to Emile and Esther in the restaurants. They made our anniversary very special. So thankful. Omer on checkout was amazing as well.

1. We scheduled a special birthday dinner on the beach but they forgot it was a special birthday and didn’t bring the cake or sing happy birthday. Dinner was over and they asked us if we wanted dessert that was our clue they forgot about us. So, with hurt feelings we left for our villa. They tried to make it up to us by offering to sing and give us a cake after the next days dinner. We declined. They then wanted to bring our cake to our room. We declined. We felt that they wanted to just sell us the cake. You know. Make the sale. We were leaving in the next few days. One other surprise was that we discovered was that the room service charge was $10 per person not per room. The way they mentioned the charge “it will be $10 for room service” lead me to think it was per room not per person.

Looks like luxury, run by amateurs

Unfortunately the only luxury thing about this resort is the aesthetics. Upon check-in we were informed the three restaurants advertised is not open simultaneously, which means you only have one place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, which is misleading when you are booking a resort that says it has three restaurants (it’s more accurately one restaurant that changes location). Additionally they push you to pre-order your dinner hours in advance “to have a great experience”. Upon check-in we were also informed that if we had any issues they were there to help. Which is true, the first night our bedroom didn’t have curtains all around which means it was bright as day in the room at 6:30am, when we raised the issue that morning additional curtains was hung in the room. However, throughout our entire stay we encountered problems every day and despite willingness to fix any problems we had, we didn’t go on holiday to get any problem fixed, we went on holiday to have no problems at all. Staff is very friendly but clearly not very well trained. Out of 5 waiters we had only one looked to have any real experience in working in the service industry. We were missing items with our orders daily, they came into our villa/garden three times unannounced, they took our robes and didn’t return them, turndown service was missed and generally just very insecure service. We also ended up having breakfast at the villa on occasions as there were too many bees to eat at the beach lounge.
