Essque Zalu Zanzibar

Firstly and most importantly…! A huge shoutout to Moureen, the hotel manager. This woman moved mountains on earth for us. I’m an artist and I left my sketchbook in Kilimanjaro (having just climbed the mountain). I was so sad. Moureen did everything (italics) to help me get my sketchbook back. In the end, it was their local artist Dullah Wise who retrieved my sketchbook from some 500miles away. *Another* legend. The resident artist who showed me the Zanzibar art of colorblocking. Follow his instagram A S A P (fellow artists) Aside from incredible service throughout, the hotel itself is placed in a prime location. Their cleanliness is second to none, I particularly enjoyed the fresh fish options available each night and the location just can’t be beaten, folks. So, stay at the Essque Zalu. But before you do. Can we give it one more time for Moureen and Dullah Wise!!!

Beautiful resort, located at one of the best if not the best beaches in Zanzibar. Rooms are lovely, food is fantastic, service is great. All staff is very polite, attentive and make you feel cared for. It's a special place, that must be visited and you definitely won't regret it!

This hotel is beautiful, and located in the top location in Zanzibar for its nightlife, beaches, restaurants and bars. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The rooms are spacious and offer the essentials of a 5-star hotel. The pool and its sea view are the highlights of the property. The hotel does not have an equipped beach as it is located on a rocky cliff, and the beach below, although you can swim if you wish, is subject to tides. Nevertheless, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to a resort in Kendwa, which has a beautiful beach where you can swim at any time. Two points to note: the food needs more variety and international options, as having meat and vegetables with different spices every night feels slightly repetitive. On the other hand, the dessert buffet is diverse and delicious. Secondly, it doesn't make sense to charge for the same bottles of water at dinner that are provided in abundance, free of charge, in the room every day. Overall it has been a great experience and we would go back :) Thank you

We had a wonderful experience. Our wedding was a spectacular event at this facility. Everything was well co ordinated, the seaview Villa was breathtaking. If we had e second chance we would still choose Essque Zalu as our wedding venue. Mr Aditya, Miss Lindy and and the team are the dreamteam🫡.
