"The staff was perfect and it means a lot"

10.0

It was a nice stay. The rooms are really good. Plenty of space. The breakfast and dinner was average but everyone can find something. The location is the only problem. It takes 2 hours to reach stone town and same duration back. But beside all the staff was amazing. Especially I’d like to thank Ms Emina from front office and Ms Irma from the sales. It’s a recommended property.

Really enjoyed our time here. We were on our honeymoon and this place is a perfect escape. The apartment was clean and spacious and the pool was great. Special shout out to Sophie and Shakira who showed us how to cook some traditional dishes, would recommend.

"Hakuna Matata 😎"

10.0

You happen to be in Zanzibar, you’re tired of busy street life, no more Boda Boda or Tuk Tuk chasing you off the street? Come and visit Nungwi, stay at Essque Zalu beach hotel and relax to the max. Enjoy the excellent hospitality, the team working for your needs and wishes. The breeze from the ocean is keeping you cool from outside, different located bars are offering internal cooling. It was a great time😋

"A great and very relaxed stay! Would definitely stay again :)"

10.0

Really lovely hotel. Very quiet and peaceful but only a short walk away from the more lively area. The food was lovely and good variety, the hotel was very clean and the staff couldn't have been nicer. My only one criticism is there was no where secure to lock our cases away in between check out and leaving and having been someone who has had their suitcase tampered with, this was a problem. It wouldn't take much to have a lockable cupboard. But all around, this was a great stay!

"Thank you for unforgettable memories"

10.0

All the staff were cheerful and pleasant! The lodging was fully equipped with everything we needed, so I was able to stay comfortably for three days. The performances during mealtimes were impressive, with something different prepared each day. What stood out the most was the dinner on the last day, held on the second floor of the main building, where a live band created an atmosphere like that of a fine dining restaurant The infinity pool and the fun programs are also unforgettable memories.
