From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for an extraordinary experience. The resort itself is a masterpiece of elegance and tranquility, but what truly made our stay exceptional was the impeccable service from the team, especially Omar and Sarah. Omar’s attention to detail and personalized care made us feel like royalty. He went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was flawless, from arranging seamless excursions to anticipating our every need. His passion for hospitality shines through in everything he does. Sarah, on the other hand, brought such a warm and personal touch to our experience. Her ability to make us feel at home while maintaining the highest level of professionalism is unmatched. Whether it was her thoughtful recommendations or her friendly chats that brightened our mornings, Sarah made a lasting impression on us. The resort itself is a slice of paradise – stunning views, luxurious accommodations, and exquisite dining. Every detail has been carefully curated to provide a sense of exclusivity and relaxation. The spa treatments were heavenly, and the infinity pool overlooking the ocean is something we’ll never forget. To Omar, Sarah, and the entire Ycona team – thank you for creating memories we will cherish forever.

It is set 27 km from Jozani Forest and offers full-day security. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.
