Rooms were clean and spacious. But couldn’t walk along the beach cause the tides were high and rough. Overall experience was good.

Essque Zalu offers a great experience. You can enjoy a cocktail from the pool with a breathtaking view of the ocean. All the employees are friendly and they are doing everything to make the stay an incredible experience.

The location was absolutely stunning, with fantastic views from the moment you walk into reception. The building and rooms are beautifully maintained, and setup for both morning and evening. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was exceptional; spacious, regularly attended to, and always spotless. Every member of staff was friendly, funny, and incredibly attentive; we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. A special shoutout to Neema, Amina, and Mutundu for really making our visit extra special. The food was also impressive, offering excellent menu choices and a great rotation throughout the week with locations also changing slightly too - entertainment is also provided most nights. A truly memorable stay in every way.

Fantastic service, friendly and welcoming staff! Beautiful facilities and well maintained. I have never been in a hotel where rooms were made up more than once a day.
