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 The interior of the room is out of date and a lot of dust when taken a look at in detail.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!

Nice stay, but not 5*
I'll start with what we liked. We were staying at Isaraya Owed Water Villa. The villa looks really nice, as in the photos, the view is gorgeous (I spent several hours every early morning looking at the ocean and the sunrise from my bed, it was really hypnotizing). There is a special restaurant on the ocean only for guests from over water villas (it looks interesting and gives the guests a feeling of exceptionality). We also liked the floating breakfast (you don't have to pay extra for it). And what did we not like? Very dirty pool in our Over Water Villa, rust in the pool, worn floor around the pool, room service - I waited 1 hour for the pizza, it was hard and without sauce, which I asked for and without cutlery. We received breakfast twice without toast, even though we had asked for it before. In my opinion, these are the details that a 5* resort must meet!

Overall the place was okay. The staff was very nice. The food was just okay. Very bland. There werenr many options of the food for each meal. The location is not near too many places so there isnt much to do. The water in the room would go in and out. There are many bugs and geckos. The wifi was spotty and would go in and out. The best part was the staff. Everyone was very nice and accomodating.

I just want to say our welcome to Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya was one of the Kingly Experience too bad we had to spend just a night evening and morning. The General manager was so professional and very understanding. My wife did not want to leave this place. If you are looking for serenity, quite and privacy. This is definetly the place you wanna be in. Very big shout out to all the staffs these guys are five star experts and they treat all guests with the same energy and kindness. Most importantly Bernad, Jackson and Agness and the other young lady was the best. Konokono you are fortunate and lucky to have such a great personnel. I got so much but let just finalise by saying that i am very pleased.

Where do I begin it was so much starting with the pick up from the airport. I wasn't informed the transportation fee beedes to be paid in cag. I would have been prepared with the cash if I were informed ahead of time. Once we arrived which was extremely late due to flight delays our room wasn't available. There was an unfortunate accident so that wasn't their fault but the room wasn't very clean. The floor was filthy and you can tell it was a rushed job. A short time after arrival the power goes out. This apparently is a thing because it happened frequently during our stay. The A/C & refrigerator wasn't working well. I complained for several days they were supposed to send maintenance. We never saw maintenance. We then encountered a rat in our room! This was the straw that broke the camels back. After battling the rat all night they finally moved us to another Overwater bungalow. They never resolved the issue and moved the next guests right in our old bungalow. The bungalows need a good overall sprucing up. I'm a frequent international traveler and the best part of this trip was leaving the resort for 3 days going on our safari in Arusha. The communication between staff was lacking and insufficient. The front desk miscommunicated transportation fees, they never informed housekeeping about the rat and why our room was in such disarray the next day, and maintenance never communicated with housekeeping.The maid drop the key in the ocean. We had a terrible experience. Don't go!

This was the worst experience I have ever had. I am quite use to staying in some rough places and don’t mind that if that is the expectation. I paid premium money for a supposed premium Villa “over the ocean”. It started with the taxi service from the port, the driver was great but, it was not conveyed that it was a private service not from the resort so, when we were dropped off at the resort he expected to be paid on the spot, so make sure you bring cash to pay the driver, it won’t be charged through the hotel. After sorting out the taxi service we were led to our “over the ocean villa” The “ocean view” was at least 200 meters away and nothing like the pictures when booked. I tried logging in on the WiFi that was supposedly available and there was no connection to internet at all, the entire night. I went to take a shower after the long journey to the resort and had abysmal water pressure and zero hot water. When my Wife went to take a shower the water completely shut off in the middle of her shower, the water didn’t come back the entire evening. We tried to make the most of it and have a nice dinner well, the entire time of the dinner we had to listen to cats incessantly whining and going around our feet, my allergies were not liking that whole situation. The wait staff was very kind and courteous but, the food.. it is a set menu with very limited options and the food at best is 2.5/5. The next morning we tried to take a shower and there wasn’t water again. No refund!!
