Even though I couldn't understand the language, the power occasionally went out and came back right away. The food was also varied and enriched, and there were different programs in the evening. The attentive service attitude can be felt. The only drawback is that the car used in the hotel is too old and the air conditioner does not cool down.

Very good hotel. Except for the bad road when driving in, everything else is great. They prepared cakes when they knew it was our birthday and sang happy birthday during dinner. Breakfast and dinner were both good. The car battery was dead when we left on the third morning. The electricity was turned on, and the hotel helped to connect it. Thank you very much!

There are not many types of meals, but the environment and service are very good. The reserved room directly faces the sea. The swimming pool is sea water. It would be better if there is fresh water. I recommend this hotel

Our family trip to Essque Zalu was absolutely amazing! The stunning views, especially the saltwater pool overlooking the sea, made our stay unforgettable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were well-kept, though a touch of modernization—while preserving their authentic charm—would enhance the experience. The food quality was great, and we truly enjoyed every meal. We will definitely recommend your hotel to our family and friends and can’t wait to return for another stay!

Honestly, leaving this place was the hardest part. If I had my way, I’d have stayed for months. ESSQUE ZALU wasn’t just a hotel—it was an experience, a paradise, a place where every moment felt like a dream. This has undoubtedly been one of my best vacations so far, and I owe a huge part of that to the amazing team at ESSQUE ZALU. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, be pampered, and experience pure luxury in Zanzibar, ESSQUE ZALU is the place to be. I highly recommend it.👌💖
