Golden Clove Beach Resort & Spa

Run away, a deep disappointment. Overall facilities very old, bungalows for 2 super old fashioned, bad smell in the bathroom due to lack of window. Booked with half boarded, meaning only breakfast and diner, another bad experience with the quality of food and diversity of meals. When the number of client is below 30, it is a menu “à la carte” for thE breakfast, always “à la carte in the evening” Super nice beach but no other place where to eat, expect the hotel which is on the top left side, 15mn walk. Sun bed on the beach with very old mattress. A bar, a billard, a pool that would need to be refreshed, a wifi very bad!!. Only the staff is good in this super old fashioned hotel, yes, Massoudi, Jacqueline, Tobias, and Ana. Big thanks to them who do their best in such bad conditions. Be aware that I had to fight to pay with my Visa.. a shame.

Really Nice place I spent there time with my gests they was very happy because the staff was very good the hotel area was perfect the rooms was perfect. The menager Zulfa do everything my gests and me feel there comfortably🌹😘 I can recommend this hotel.

Golden Clove Beach Resort was recently taken over by F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar, and the space seems to be getting a makeover with still a traditional rustic look :) It was just what we wanted for a weekend getaway - a quiet, peaceful, clean space, and simply perfect to relax by the seaside with just a few steps from the room's entryway to the beach! All the staff and management personnel are super polite, respectful and friendly, and provided excellent customer service making our stay all the more comfortable!

Not worth it Excellent Beach and Massage, but Nothing else large pool I have never written a negative review … but this place was a disappointment. The Bungalows are old and so are the linens There was no fridge in our room, and light in the bathroom was broken and the safe was not working either …. When reported this, we were moved to another cabin … but no check done before we were given our cabin The worst part was the food – It took Forever for us to be served and nothing worth waiting for …. They ask u in the afternoon what u want to eat for dinner …. We arrive in the dining room by 7.30 pm but first course of soup does not arrive until after 8 pm ….. and then for the main course … wait in anticipation until 9 pm … Lamb that is tough and cannot be chewed !!! It looked as if the kitchen prepared one course for everyone, then we had to wait till the kitchen started preparing the next course. I felt sorry for those families with children …. Who went to sleep …. Waiting for their meals to arrive and families that went to sleep hungry because they could not eat the food that was served to them

Good location, clean bungalows, great ocean views, beautiful garden, delicious and varied food and friendly people… Special thanks to Tobias, Barakah and Jaklin! A wonderful vacation in a very nice place! I recommend!

Sadly the hotel whilst set right on the beach is quite run down. The staff do their best but it doesn’t make up for the issues in the rooms such as run down bathroom, build up of black mildew, dirty tile grout, cracked tiles, thread bare and frayed bath towels, ripped and holey mosquito nets, dirty fridge seals, dirty mattress. Dead ants came out of the boiling water urn in the dining room at breakfast into my tea cup while live ants were crawling on the drink serving table also at breakfast. Some of the dining furniture is in much need of being replaced and table cloths need changing each day as we had the same food stain on our cloth for 3 days right up to when we left. It has the foundations of a great hotel due to its beach front location but needs completely renovating and serious money spending on it. Such a shame.

The perfect view of the Indian Ocean and the white sandy beach …. We received by mr. Manj the GM and his team was very nice and worm hospitality… the room was so clean and perfect views on the Indian Oscan …… thank you so much 😊 we will be back again .. keep the good work up 🙏🏾

The people were really nice and friendly. Always greats us with a smile and their answer are always Hakuna matta and pole pole :). Zanzibar People, in general, are really nice a friendly people. In Mermaids cove we enjoyed the peach, bar and restaurant.

Mistake, at least for me. Good, large pool clean, airy area, garden. -no music harassment. -friendly people. -big room on the beach. Bad -room was like a fifty-year-old room in India with its decor and furniture, awful. air conditioning could not be repaired but it was windy for a year so the airway from the sea. -In the hot season you are fd. -the food was awful, the worst thing I've ever had in Zansibar over my years. customers asked what the fish are did not dare to eat, neither did I. -I had chicken risotto buried with chicken bones left over from soups, I got one tablespoon of meat from five bone marrow. -I don't eat much, so no worries, the rice tasted good. --as one of the staff members said, they taste very confusing. -I choose a familiar answer on the island, we have three chefs and the head chef is now free, on the island of food quality when choosing a standard answer. -the dining space was a glass fireplace somehow like a terrarium solution, understandable in windy times but against the minds. A good place for those who need privacy for some reason, rainbow hugging or like my neighbor's green medicine very suitable for burning. Heh I bought a bottle of liquor from a beach merchant and I got alcohol poisoning, the product was Indian whiskey, completely for my own reason, by taxi to the liquor store so know what you are getting. A disposable item, hardly anyone will come again unless there is some good reason of their own. Rarely am I so harsh / disappointed / hard, now I am.
