Konokono was a beautiful resort. I really enjoyed the beauty of the bungalow beach villa we stayed in. It was my birthday and they welcomed me with a little decoration in the room which was so cute. The food was great, it definitely gave fine dining but the fixed menu for dinner was delicious. The staff were very nice and helpful. There are monkeys on site, which was cool. They also have someone you can book activities with at lobby. The beach is beautiful but close up to shore needs to be cleaned and or need to put a garbage near by so people don’t litter. The only thing i could say about this hotel is that it is a very quiet and peaceful resort. Not much amenities. So if you are looking for somewhere to just have peace and quiet then this is your place. There is no vibes here just a laid back getaway. Beatrice was very nice and the staff as well. I think it would be good for them to promote that this hotel is a tranquility hotel so that people are not caught off guard with the type of vibes they may be looking for during their stay. Nevertheless it’s a beautiful resort in Zanzibar.

Perfect stay in Zanzibar. If you want a quiet, cosy and well-maintained place in the island, Konkokoro is an ideal place to stay. We felt like having a private beach :). The food was delicious. The staff was so nice. Facility is clean. Highly recommended !

Memorable honeymoon

Overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience - we stayed in the over-water villa. Extremely helpful staff, great service, amazing food options, the views were incredible, 2 restaurant options so overall very pleased with that. One thing to be aware of is that they do have an electricity issue where randomly in the middle of the night, they are left with no electricity. I was told it's the whole island problem so bear that in mind. Also, their villas aren't entirely sealed so I had a few ants crawl into my luggage and a few lizards on the outside of the villa. It is a bit further out from the rest of the island so you'll need a hire car or taxi to get to other places if you do decide to leave the resort. Overall: I'd highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful hospitality.

My stay at konokono in the over water villa was horrendous taking in to consideration how much you are spending. The food variety and the actual food itself is extremely poor, I ordered beef but it was though I was chewing on a tyre. The only thing good was the fruit. I previously went to 2 hotels in Zanzibar before konokono which were also 5* where the food was prepared by excellent chefs. Furthermore, the overwater villa is not private at all, whilst taking a shower there are fisherman and boats which go past and there’s no curtain on the window so you can be seen naked. The interior of the room is out of date and a lot of dust when taken a look at in detail. The worse part is where the hotel is located, it’s a 10-12 minute bumpy ride once you see the sign of the hotel. Would not recommend this hotel at all, Riu palace is an excellent place located in a lively area. Alma boutique is also very good if you are looking for somewhere a little more quiet. I give konokono 3*

We loved our stay on this property! Our room was clean, the meals were great, and the staff was very friendly. We had no issues with the electricity or air conditioning. There were times when that water pressure would drop, but that didn’t affect our stay as we weren’t in the room often as we soaked up every minute of the beach and pool that we could! The staff arranged our transfers to and from the airport, as well as to The Rock Restaurant one day. All of our taxis were professional, kind and on time. We enjoyed chatting with the staff and felt very cared for and safe. We would definitely stay here again!
