Facing the beachfront, Clove Island Essence & Spa Boutique offers 5-star accommodation in Matemwe and features free bikes, outdoor swimming pool and garden. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel has a terrace and sea views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. I really liked all of the staff members. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. The resort was beautiful, clean, relaxing. I thought all the food we had was great- breakfast, lunch and dinner. I felt all the prices for food reasonable. Seafood was very fresh. I had a massage on site and it was very good and well priced. Setting up excursions was an easy process, I recommend the snorkeling and leaving at 0600 as it’s the best chance to swim with the dolphins as well. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone who comes to Zanzibar looking for a relaxing retreat to stay here!
