So clean, the cleaners are amazing. They also come in on a night and bug spray the room.

Staff are absolutely lovely, so friendly and helpful. The foods so nice, we didn’t have one bad meal and enjoyed everything, breakfast is gorgeous.

Management are always around and help with anything! Such a lovely, friendly atmosphere.

We would definitely recommend clove island !

Ruhig, perfekt, erholsam
Pros:

kleine Bungalowanlage, für einen erholsamen Urlaub perfekt,
Frühstück war einfach, aber gut, man hat alles gehabt, was man so braucht, Obst, Gemüse, Käse, verschiedene Eigerichte, frische Säfte, etc.
es wurde serviert und kein Buffet, was meiner Meinung für die kleine Unterkunft perfekt war.
ruhiger Strand,
am Strand wenig nervige Beachboys,
tolles Personal, tolle Geschäftsführung, immer da, wenn man was braucht,
toller Pool, wunderbare großzügige Bungalows,
tolle Massage, tolles Ausflugsangebot,
tolles Essen, tolle Cocktails, alles wunderbar!

Pros:

Ich hatte einen richtig schönen Aufenthalt! Das Essen war fantastisch und das ganze Personal extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen. Man sollte nur vorab wissen, dass es dort eine ruhigere Gegend ist und es teilweise sehr windig sein kann.

Pros:

Absolutní luxus na Zanzibaru. Perfektně se o nás starali, vše v ubytování zařídí. Místo Krásné kazí jen častý odliv. Snídaně vydatné a výtečné. Najite se na půl dne. Drinky výborné. Vřele doporučuji

Bester Platz zum Entspannen und Erholen, freundlich, sauber und leckeres Essen.
Pros:

Clove Island werden wir in bester Erinnerung behalten. Von allen Zimmern hat man einen wunderschönen Blick auf den Garten mit Pool und das türkisblaue Meer. Es war außergewöhnlich ruhig dort- perfekt zum Entspannen, Baden, Lesen. Sehr freundliches, sympathisches Personal. Besonders Mary und ihre Schwester hatten immer ein Lächeln im Gesicht.
Bei unserem nächsten Besuch auf Sansibar kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder 👍🤗!

Exceeded expectations with great food, caring staff, peaceful atmosphere, truly relaxing experience.
Pros:

This hotel exceeded our expectations every single day. Breakfasts were generous, dinners delicious, with a wide selection, fresh products, and very fair, reasonable prices. The rooms were clean, all facilities worked perfectly, and the territory was well maintained and secure. We especially appreciated that beach vendors did not disturb guests inside the hotel area.
We were initially a bit worried about insects, but during our three-day stay we did not encounter a single one in our room.
Most importantly, the staff were exceptional — friendly, very helpful, and genuinely caring, which made our stay truly special. As a lovely surprise, there was also a live concert with great emotional depth, excellent vocals, and a strong sense of rhythm.
We warmly recommend this place to anyone who values peace, relaxation, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Pros:

Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt! Das Hotel ist sehr schön, nicht groß und hat eine wunderbare Atmosphäre – man fühlt sich wie zu Hause. Die Ruhe im Hotel und in der Umgebung ermöglicht echte Entspannung. Dieser Ort ist ideal für Menschen, die viel arbeiten – so wie wir. Wir haben uns wirklich mit positiver Energie aufgeladen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, der Service sehr freundlich und die Manager waren hervorragend. Die Zimmer sind gepflegt und – was für uns sehr wichtig war – sehr sauber. Absolut alles an diesem Ort macht es schwer, in den Alltag zurückzukehren.
