The pool and beach were amazing and relaxing and the staff was also very friendly and caring. The breakfast became a bit repetitive over a few days, but the rest of the menu was pretty varied, and food was good. We also did an activity which staff was able to sort out for us, along with transfers in and out of the hotel, which was very useful. ##### Jeremie Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Erika Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed my stay at the Clove Island. The food and drinks were fantastic and the staff were amazing and very friendly. They were readily available to help and answer any questions we had during our stay. When it came to booking transportation to get around Zanzibar, they made the process easy. The property is nice, if you are looking for a cozy, quiet place secluded from the hustle and bustle, stay here. Also steps away from the beach and safe. ##### Erika Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sumayya Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous Absolutely incredible place to stay if relaxation is your goal.

The food was great and so were the massages. The staff was also wonderful and always very helpful and welcoming. I definitely recommend staying here. ##### Juni Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri Daniel Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was very nice and the villas were wonderful. It is small with limited villas, which makes it very personal. The food at the restaurant was tasty as well. More options for breakfast would have been nice. The only downfall was the beach, it is really not very user friendly. We went to another beach. The pool was wonderful. Thanks for an amazing stay. ##### Terri Daniel Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Jan 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The host, May was very friendly and helpful. When we arrived, the air condition in the room has issued so she told us upfront and gave us options of either relocating us to another hotel or get free lunch whiles they work on it. Of course, we took the free lunch and the air condition was fined by evening time. The place came as advertised 👍 ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah Oct 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gorgeous hotel with amazing staff I can’t recommend Clove Island highly enough. The setting is stunning, right on a super quiet beach and so relaxing and zen. The design of the apartments is gorgeous, so much attention to detail, it felt like a serene beach house. The staff are all amazing, the manager really took time to make sure everyone enjoyed their stay, and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was gorgeous, and the rooms are immaculate - as well as the pool area. The location is probably not for everyone as it is very quiet with nothing really happening around. This was just what I was looking for but if you’re looking for something lively then another part of the island may suit better. The beach is not really for swimming I wouldn’t think, due to the tide. But great to watch all the locals fishing in the morning while the sun is rising. If you’re looking for relaxation and a little Island escape then there is no better place to do it, I’d book again in a heartbeat. ##### Leah Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Hassina Dec 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities On arrival the Polish owner welcomed us. He seemed a genuine enough guy but we had hoped our money would have gone to people of Zanzibar - not a foreign owner. The accommodation was amazing - a bedroom and lounge/kitchenette. I think all the other accommodation are a similar set up. It was immaculately clean and decor was modern. The staff are amazing. Wonderful women who cleaned the rooms and came in every evening to spray for mosquitoes (was not bitten once!). Bar and kitchen staff could not do enough to help. Even made us a fish coconut curry (a favourite Swahili dish) on our last day. The food in the restaurant is good but could be improved with more local dishes, after all you’re in Zanzibar not Italy or England. Was a little disappointed to see female manager counting the money from the tip box at the bar and disappearing into the office with it. I sincerely hope the tips go DIRECTLY to staff. My advice - tip staff directly yourself. That way you know they get it. The beach is a little stony but when the tide is up it’s past the stones and swimming is great. Don’t worry about the seaweed. It won’t hurt! Internet is intermittent. But we were not interested in keeping in touch with the outside world constantly. Sit by the pool, take long walks on the beach, talk to the staff, they are connected to the island and its culture. This hotel gets a 7 out of 10\. ##### Hassina Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jorgen May 3, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Fin service av personalen och mycket vĂ€nliga. LĂ€genheten stĂ€dades dĂ„ligt hela tiden. Möblerna stora och tunga i trĂ€ och tog upp stort plats i lĂ€genheten. En stor fĂ„tölj gick inte att sitta i. Möblerna gjorda frĂ„n gamla trĂ€bĂ„tar. Clove Island ligger lite isolerat och en plats man stannar pĂ„ bara nĂ„gra dagar. Fyra dagar för oss var en dag för mycket. Bra service i restaurangen och trevlig personal, men varierande kvalitet pĂ„ maten. Bra frukost! ##### Jorgen Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Berenice Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Au petits oignons Tout le personnel est au petit soin, des petits dĂ©tails qui rendent le sĂ©jour encore plus agrĂ©able, lit ouvert et moustiquaire mise en place avant le coucher ainsi que fermeture des rideaux. Tout est fait pour qu’on ne remarque rien et que tout soit toujours parfait. C’était un sĂ©jour trĂšs reposant. Les chambres sont trĂšs spĂ©cieuses il s’agit d’ailleurs de suites. Je recommande ##### Berenice Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anja Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Unterkunft inklusive Mitarbeiter ist super! Wir hatten die Jungle Villa und uns dort sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. Essen war sehr gut. Alle waren Ă€ußerst bemĂŒht. Einziges Manko: Das Meer zieht sich bei Ebbe sehr weit zurĂŒck. Dann ist es zwar spannend die ganzen Einheimischen beim Fischen und generell Arbeiten zu beobachten, schwimmen ist aber nur eine kurze Zeit möglich. Denn wenn das Wasser wiederkommt, ist erstmal Algenschmutz angesagt. Wir hatten das so nicht am Radar, das hat sich aber auch nicht negativ auf unseren Urlaub ausgewirkt. ##### Anja Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Norick Jan 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities : Superbe hĂŽtel, la villa est magnifique.

Alles war fantastisch! Der perfekte Ort, um Urlaub zu machen. Es ist eine unglaublich schöne, saubere, gepflegte und ruhige Anlage. Das Personal ist zuvorkommen und fĂŒr alle Fragen, Anliegen und WĂŒnsche jederzeit mit einem herzlichen LĂ€cheln fĂŒr einen da. Die Appartments Bzw. Villas sind modern und Ă€sthetisch mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Jedes Zimmer hat Ausblick auf den Ozean. Der Reinigungsdienst kommt zweimal tĂ€glich. Auch das Essen ist klasse! Es gibt verschiedene Spa-Anwendungen, die man auf der Dachterrasse mit Blick auf den indischen Ozean genießen kann. Wir haben uns die ganze Insel angeschaut und glauben, dass es keine bessere Hotelanlage fĂŒr einen Urlaub auf Sansibar gibt! Wir wĂŒnschten, die Flitterwochen hĂ€tten kein Ende genommen. Absolute Oberliga!!! Sollten wir nochmal nach Sansibar kommen, werden wir definitiv wieder dort buchen. Leider können wir nur 5 Sterne vergeben
.wenn wir könnten, wĂŒrden wir mit 100 Sternen bewerten! Danke danke danke an das komplette Clove (Love) Island Villas-Team!

Die Anlage generell ist sehr gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich. Makunduchi ist eine eher ruhigere Gegend auf Zanzibar und daher etwas abseits vom geschehen (Tourismus, Party, VerkĂ€ufern am Strand usw.). FĂŒr uns war dies Perfekt! Falls man doch mehr Action wollte lassen sich die nahegelegenen Ortschaften wie Paje schnell mit dem Taxi erreichen. Essen: wie so oft ist das Essen (leider) im Hotel an die europĂ€ischen Standards und BedĂŒrfnisse der GĂ€ste angepasst und das auch preislich. Es gab gute und weniger gute Gerichte. Aber das war absolut okay. Wir mussten auch ab und an Speisen zurĂŒckgehen lassen, da es kalt war, nicht durch oder einfach ein Teil vergessen wurde. FĂŒr richtig gutes und schmackhaftes lokales Essen lohnt es sich in den StĂ€dten oder Dörfern zu essen. Das Essen dort ist der wahnsinnig... Service: Das Personal ist ĂŒberwiegend sehr freundlich und versucht keine WĂŒnsche offen zu lassen. Sie sind sehr engagiert und aufmerksam. Eine kleine Ausnahme gibt es beim Service an der Bar. WĂ€hrend einige super Aufmerksam und auf Zack waren, gab es aber auch welche die eher morgen als heute die Bestellung aufnehmen 😉 Halb so wild...Auch die Besitzer waren hier sehr hilfsbereits in Bezug auf late Check Out, Empfehlungen fĂŒr AktivitĂ€ten usw... Wir haben sogar auf Wunsch eine Kokusnuss erhalten :) Villa: Wahsinns Ausblick und Einrichtung ist ideal.

Les managers sont aussi trĂšs rĂ©actifs et toujours Ă  l'Ă©coute pour rĂ©pondre aux diffĂ©rentes demandes. On est ici dans un petit cocon car il y a peu de chambres/lodges et disons assez isolĂ© de tout en Ă©tant situĂ© dans un village. La mer est juste Ă  cĂŽtĂ© mais pas praticable pour les baignades et la nage. Pour palier Ă  ces inconvĂ©nients, des excursions sont proposĂ©es et des jeux de sociĂ©tĂ© sont Ă  disposition tout comme un bar restaurant Ă  l'intĂ©rieur. Le petit-dĂ©jeuner y est bon et de qualitĂ© mais les plats du restaurant sont en revanche en dessous et pourraient ĂȘtre amĂ©liorĂ©s tout comme les desserts. ##### Lassana Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 22, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SO SO Great! We cannot say enough about the staff at Clove Island!! Management is on top of everything and service staff are outstanding. EVERYTHING is taken care of - all we had to do was enjoy our vacation. Very clean, food is great, and always felt safe. WIFI a little slow in the room, but faster in the restaurant. All units look onto the beach and the property is directly on the beach. You cannot go wrong booking here. We can't wait to return, staff felt like family after 10 days! ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Paradise Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Eden-Paradise-Zanzibar.h106900554.Hotel-Information) > > [Farm of Dreams Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Farm-Of-Dreams-Lodge.h11806795.Hotel-Information) > > [Sharazad Oasis Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Sharazad-Oasis-Retreat.h89854080.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Dhow-Inn.h5784649.Hotel-Information) > > [Mbuyuni Beach Village - Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Mbuyuni-Beach-Village-Bungalows.h2205544.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [BaraBara Eat&Sleep - Eco Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-BaraBara-EatSleep-Eco-Boutique-Hotel.h100450406.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kibo-Palace-Hotel.h2559587.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonefish Inn Jambiani ](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Stonefish-Inn-Jambiani.h100720924.Hotel-Information) > > [UVIVU by Jambiani Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-GreenZ-Jambiani-Apartments.h37946686.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Dongwe-Hotels-The-Palms-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h10041347.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Rocks Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Coral-Rock-Hotel-Restaurant.h1912135.Hotel-Information) > > [sagandobungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Sagandobungalows.h100002614.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Oleza Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Oleza-Boutique-Hotel.h100371207.Hotel-Information) > > [Milele Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dongwe-Hotels-Milele-Beach-Resort.h29854931.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Malaika](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Malaika.h96936853.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Mina](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Mina.h32649014.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Leparadis Zanzibar Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Leparadis-Zanzibar-Boutique-Hotel.h108902952.Hotel-Information) > > [Filao Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.ca/Chwaka-Hotels-Filao-Beach-Zanzibar.h26830985.Hotel-Information) > > [Demani Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Demani-Lodge.h36017239.Hotel-Information) > > [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > > [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > > [Ananda Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Ananda-Beach-House.h36255479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information)
