"We had a gorgeous sea view room for our 2 night stay. Bed is comfortable, balcony seats very comfortable: good shower etc. place is spotless with attentive housekeeping. Great stay if you’re looking to dive around Mnemba as the diving centre with lovely staff is in the resort. Menu is a bit limited for vegetarians and they ran out of quite a few ingredients (avocado, limes) so it wasn’t the best food we had and the area around the hotel is pretty quiet. "

"Very clean room, all staff were extremely friendly and very attentive and professional. A fantastic pool with wonderfully authentic poolside bar. Prices reasonable and only a few minutes walk to the beach, where you are spoilt for choice with bars and restaurants. "

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Ycona Luxury Resort. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless. The resort is incredibly clean, beautifully maintained, and every space feels fresh, luxurious, and peaceful. Our villa was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, and you can truly tell they take pride in maintaining the highest standards. The service was impeccable. Every staff member was warm, professional, and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and taken care of. They paid attention to every detail and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our entire stay. This was a once in a lifetime luxury experience for my husband and me during our honeymoon. The atmosphere was serene, exclusive, and truly special. Everything from the surroundings to the hospitality exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the unforgettable memories we created here and would highly recommend Ycona Luxury Resort to anyone looking for a true luxury experience and exceptional service."

"The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They made my 7 night stay very pleasant and comfortable. This is truly a boutique hotel that pays attention to every detail and every guest. At first the entrance is misleading but as soon as you step inside it is a different story! You get a welcome coconut drink that is super delicious. The pool area and the restaurant is very pretty and is kept very clean. The food is super delicious and they have the best drinks and also mocktails. I had a very good deep tissue massage at the spa also. My room was very spacious with a great view. The bed was super comfortable and they cleaned every day. They even surprised me with a birthday song and a personal cake - getting my birthday from my ID! Now that had never happened in any hotel before! Very special place and I will definitely stay there again. "

"My stay at Blue Reef was nothing short of magical. I truly felt like I was home and by the end of my visit, the staff felt like my extended family. They remembered me, cared for me, and made me feel genuinely special through the smallest, most meaningful gestures from offering me fresh passion fruit when I simply asked to take a photo of it, to inviting me behind the bar to show me how their fresh juice is made. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking some of the most beautiful moments I experienced in Zanzibar. One of the highlights of my stay was requesting an off-menu dish: ugali. The chef personally came out to ask how I liked the meal, which turned out to be the most delicious food I’ve had since arriving in Tanzania. My time in Zanzibar and especially at Blue Reef was pure magic. I’m beyond grateful for the warmth, hospitality, and unforgettable memories, and I cannot wait to return with my family."
