Essque Zalu Zanzibar

It was great to be back at Essque Zalu after 4 years. The Pool & Jetty is still iconic! Also forgot how spacious the rooms are. Staff friendly and helpull as always. Will be back soon :-)

I like it very much I think it's one of the best hotels in Zanzibar. The staff is also very kind and pleasant. One disadvantage is that the food wasn't that good for a five-star hotel, but I'm satisfied with the view and service.

Had an amazing time! Everything was 5 star!!! Loved it!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. What truly makes this place special is the people who work here. The entire team is warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which creates a very welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. A special thank you goes to Amina at the reception. She is an outstanding administrator ,professional, kind, and always ready to help with anything you might need. Her attitude and positive energy made our stay even more comfortable and memorable. The hotel itself is beautiful and relaxing, but it’s the staff who make the real difference. You can feel that they truly care about their guests. Because of this experience, we would gladly return again. Highly recommended for anyone who values great hospitality.

My husband got me a getaway for my birthday at Essque Zalu , the staff was welcoming and warm from check inn to check out, my room had an amazing view it's very safe to say that I had the best birthday weekend...special thankyou to Maureen for ensuring my stay was unforgettable I will definitely be coming back

The lodgings is comfortable and serene, loved these aspects. We only had breakfast on site and it was fine/good. The gym was not temperature controlled (one AC unit wasn’t working) so unusable due to how hot it was in there. Bar and tour prices were, in my opinion, above not only regional pricing norms but also US pricing for similar services. The organized tours sold were poor value, suggest doing sites on your own with an arranged driver. To our surprise, there was no beachfront for lounging and when we walked the shoreline we were mobbed by “tour operators” and gigolos.

It was amazing, the room are big and clean, they have a very beautiful and sileance atmosphere. The location is amazing with the view, no near all the markets but little drive with toktok or taxi and tou arraived. The people who work there always with a smile and realy take care of your stay.

Perfect atmosphere! All settled good and if you need something all people here help you. Personal are very kindly and all time smiled! We had a special moment here and definitely we recommend!

Hotel has a nice pool witjhview over the sea. it’s getting renovation works. Room very confortable. Walking distance to the village.

The staff were very nice and helpful, especially Amina but really everyone, the room was very big and great and the pool is amazing. מאוד ממליצה!
