Clove Island Essence & Spa Boutique

Great staff and great location directly at the beach. Facilities are very nice to relax. We spent every night dining in the restaurant because outside options were not appealing to us but restaurant is great for a couple of nights.

Weird smell and ants in the toilet but that is acceptable for a beach hotel in Zanzibar.

It was clean, breakfast was nice

Only villa is with direct sea view, room was with „partial” sea view, beach is not so nice to compare to nungwi, if you would like to spend all the time in the hotel it is worth to go there, if you would like to enjoy the Zanzibar life (super safe) You must go to nungwi

Very good food, both at breakfast and when we ate there in the afternoons or evenings. Great pizzas. Do not miss the tuna tartare

Wifi in the room was sometimes weak and disconnected (in the shared facilities it was excellent)

First of all, the property is located on the beach, which makes the mornings soooo peaceful. You can watch the sunrise it’s incredible. The room was huge, the connection to WiFi very good, no bugs, anti mosquito was put in our rooms every nights. The rooms were cleaned every day, the breakfast was good and the restaurant excellent. The service was amazing : genuine smiles, and I loved that Julie and Megan came everyday to greet us at breakfast and during dinner, I think it’s very 5* star attitude ! The resort is very close to Mnemba island so it’s a hotel I recommend to do 3-4 nights to enjoy the peace of Matemwe, go snorkeling in Mnemba and chill. We stayed as a couple and really enjoyed our time. Once again, service, facilities were exceptional. I especially loved the bathroom and shower ! They have bikes at the hotel you can use which we love :)

I feel the hotel was a bit smaller than what I imagined, maybe not enough space at the swimming pool but the hotel was fully booked when we stayed.
