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

Essque Zalu was a dream. Sales manager, Lindy, was very warm and welcoming and I will definitely be back! Local food on the menu was sooo delicious… the Swahili fish, a must try. Definitely will be back! Also note, there is beautiful views of the beach, and property is really close to snorkeling/dolphin watching excursion! Book now

Nous avons passé 4 jours dans cet hôtel, la chambre et l’endroit étaient incroyables, avec une vu sur l’océan imprenable depuis le ponton. la propreté était également au rendez vous, avec une chambre toujours nickel qui ne manquait jamais de rien. Le personnel était réellement au petit soin et très serviable, toujours prêt à nous faire passer le meilleure séjour possible, jusqu’à nous accompagner à pied jusqu’à certaines excursions. Le restaurant et le petit déjeuner étaient vraiment bons, malgré que le choix soit un peu restreint pour le dîner. Simplement, les taxis et excursions proposées par l’hôtel sont assez cher par rapport à ce que l’on peut trouver sur internet ou en passant par des locaux ( c’est cependant le cas pour presque l’ensemble des hôtels que nous avions fait ). Nous recommandons fortement ce lieux paradisiaque pour vos prochaines vacances à zanzibar.
