"Expérience catastrophique – cambriolage en plein jour et personnel complice ?
Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans cet appart'hôtel. Tout allait bien jusqu’au dernier jour. Ayant un vol tardif (22h35), nous avons demandé à garder la chambre un peu plus longtemps, ce que le personnel a accepté. Nous sommes allés bronzer à quelques mètres de l'appartement et, à notre retour, nous avons constaté un cambriolage : valise fouillée, baie vitrée ouverte (jamais utilisée), argent liquide, papiers...
"Die Beschreibung des Apartments ist sehr irreführend. Es handelt sich um ein Apartment, in dem 2 Zimmer vermietet sind und man sich Küche und Aufenthaltsraum teilt, wie eine WG. Die Zimmer Einrichtung ist spartanisch,die Küche ist vernünftig ausgestattet. Lage ist gut. Kommunikation ebenso."
"Struttura piccolina, solitamente tre sistemazioni, piscina pulita e carina, colazione piacevole, spiaggia a pochi minuti a piedi, il dintorno è il villaggio, il personale è gentile, nel complesso è adatto a persone senza grandi pretese, valutazione positiva"

"Great place a few min to the beach. Location was convenient to a lot of attractions. Place is well maintained. Host was accommodating and answered all questions in a timely fashion. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the stay."
"Fin leilighet som fylte våre behov! Det ene soverommet har to dobbeltsenger. Air condition fungerte ikke på dette rommet. Det var en romslig og fin leilighet, men dårlig renhold ved ankomst. "
"Very nice place with everything you could possibly need including some thoughtful touches in the kitchen and storage room. By sea view, I thought it was closer to the beach, but was a few minutes walk through the village - was glad the property owners advised us to bring a flashlight because it was certainly needed at night. Certainly felt safe but was just dark, and you had to navigate some unpaved areas. Kiwenga is a very quiet area - perhaps a bit too serene for our taste but the apartment...

"Amazing hotel and staff! My every need was met and there was always a staff member close by who was willing to help. We arrived early and our rooms were not ready, they took our bags from us and allowed us to get ready in the change rooms. We went to our excursion and came back to find our luggage in our rooms! They even offered late check out for us!
Ahmed is the best bartender ever! Made the best drinks and always had a smile on his face! Too many amazing staff to call out. I will miss Lux Marijani and the memories I had made over that week!
The only down side I would say is the location is a bit far from stone town and other excursions around Zanzibar. However, the remote location makes for relaxation, quiet and great beaches! Expect a minimum of 1.5 hours each way to commute into the city areas like Stone Town. Other than that, for what you get in quality and celebrity treatment, the distance is the minimum of your worries! The staff literally cater to your every need!
One other story, I came back from an excursion and needed dental floss. A staff member was prepared to call a pharmacy to get someone to deliver it to my room. I declined because it wasn’t necessary but just goes to demonstrate how serious they take guest satisfaction! Loved this place and will miss it tremendously. "

Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa
5/5 Excellent
"This was the perfect place for a holiday!
The hotel is located in the best possible spot, with easy access to everything you need, yet surrounded by peace and nature — absolute harmony.
The beach is simply stunning — the cleanest and most beautiful we’ve seen, with incredibly fine, soft sand like powder. A true paradise!
We stayed in a villa with a private pool, and it was absolutely amazing! We especially recommend the overwater villas — it’s not just a stay, it’s a true experience.
Housekeeping was done twice a day, everything was always spotless and perfectly maintained.
The staff were exceptionally attentive — kind, welcoming, always ready to help. You can truly feel their genuine care and dedication to top-level service.
The cuisine was outstanding — breakfasts and five-course dinners felt like dining at a Michelin-star restaurant. Delicious, refined, and beautifully presented.
Evenings featured live music and shows, creating a wonderful, festive atmosphere.
If you’re interested in local excursions, they’ll organise everything quickly and at great prices, including smooth, reliable transfers.
And a special mention goes to their attention to detail: on our way to the airport, the staff called the taxi driver to make sure he wouldn’t make any stops and would get us there on time. I’ve never experienced such care and consideration — absolutely top-tier service!
Highly recommended! "

"This is an amazing property to stay in Zanzibar. We were upgraded to the frangipani villa which was spacious and well appointed. The private pool was great. The main swimming pool is huge and doesn’t get too crowded. The food options at the main dining room were good with a lot of vegetarian options for breakfast and dinner. Beverage options are nice and reasonably priced. The complimentary fruits at mid morning and ice cream at mid afternoon around the pool area are a great touch. The staff is polite and extremely helpful. We had to see the onsite doctor as one of us wasn’t feeling too well one day. The staff promptly arranged for the doctor to arrive who was extremely helpful and thoughtful in his advice which we highly appreciated. The doctor didn’t charge us for his visit and medication even when we asked if he was sure. As has been discussed previously in other reviews, most beaches in Zanzibar have big tidal ranges and at low tide, the sea retreats by a lot. We didn’t swim on the beach for that reason and there’s also a lot of sea weed that the staff tries to clean every day. Nevertheless, the main and private swimming pools more than made up for it. There are a lot of monkeys around the resort and the staff warn you at the outset to keep the doors closed. It is advice that must be heeded to. The resort is family friendly. That’s great if you have kids of your own but if you don’t, it can feel a bit like school nursery during breakfast / dinner time. "
