From the moment we arrived, the staff attended to our every need and made us feel truly cared for. The manager, Claudia, along with Omar, were especially outstanding—both were incredibly helpful in facilitating all of our plans and were always flexible and accommodating. They even helped arrange romantic activities on-site, which made our stay extra special. The villas were spotless and cleaned daily, which added greatly to our comfort. This ended up being one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Zanzibar. Anything that wasn’t readily available at the resort was seamlessly arranged by bringing someone in from town, making it feel like there was almost no need to leave the property at all. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. ##### Adedamola Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best hotels I’ve been to the food was AMAZING !

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. ![Back of the beach villa with private pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/333501c7-c5b1-43c5-9fd6-0258b8c948f0-1764234233028.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Resort beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52385602-4b08-436b-9675-56f5391d7181-1764234240337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Youssef Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### attayku 8 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and superior ,, impressive Excellent 10 over 10 … clean , prompt service .. swimming pool is lovely .. defo recomend .. the villas are amazing ##### attayku Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Javanell 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property was beautiful.

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. ##### Lasse Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haider 9 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our experience at Ycona, one of the nicest hotel experiences.

It was also a really good move by the resort to have a WhatsApp group that had all the staff on it so there was always someone able to assist our requests.

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. ##### BARRY NELSON Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon 21 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very helpful staff, fabulous facilities, good food ##### Shannon Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerd 2 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschönes - großes Haus mit rooftop pool.

Wir verbrachten zwei Wochen im Ycona Luxury Resort auf Sansibar – und es war in jeder Hinsicht einfach exzellent! Der Service, die Sauberkeit, die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter, der wunderschöne Poolbereich, die Restaurants und die Qualität der Speisen – alles war auf höchstem Niveau. Eine glatte 10 von 10 mit Stern! Man spürt in jedem Detail, dass hier mit viel Liebe, Achtsamkeit und Professionalität gearbeitet wird. Das gesamte Team hat uns mit einem Lächeln empfangen und dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns vom ersten Moment an rundum wohlfühlen. Das Resort liegt in Uroa, einem eher ruhigen Teil der Insel – perfekt für alle, die Entspannung und Abstand vom Touristentrubel suchen. Wir wollten genau das: Ruhe, Natur und Zeit zum Auftanken. Einziges kleines Manko: In der direkten Umgebung gibt es nur wenige Restaurants oder Bars – dennoch war das kulinarische Angebot im Hotel so hervorragend, dass wir kaum etwas vermisst haben. Zudem haben wir auch viele Ausflüge unternommen. Alles in allem war es ein traumhafter Urlaub, der uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Ein Ort, an den wir definitiv gerne zurückkehren. Besonders zu hervorheben ist, dass wir kostenlos auch früher einchecken konnten in unsere Villa und ebenfalls wurde uns auch das Frühstück für diesen Tag nicht berechnet. Danke an das gesamte Ycona-Team für zwei unvergessliche Wochen im Paradies! 🌴✨ ![Jungle Villa](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5076b782-e2dc-4040-b8a1-0ecceab618ee-1761297391558.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f202e28d-a817-48cd-9f90-a6fd7700285c-1761297392050.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Eingang](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c9a338f8-a67d-4b04-aefe-64b4d2cd5379-1761297391735.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel Anlage](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7e55007f-bdb8-4c86-b0a7-f9315520054b-1761297391804.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna Maria Stayed 13 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anúar André 3 Feb 2026 ##### Anúar André Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Abdelrahman 22 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service ##### Abdelrahman Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominique 9 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Dominique Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rahel Carmen 31 Jan 2025 ##### Rahel Carmen Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### christophe 22 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### christophe Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ---
