We had a lovely few days at Essque Zalu. As some of the comments say the property isn’t as polished as it could be but the staff make up for it. Always happy and interested - they will do all they can for you. We stayed in an ocean suite and it was lovely to hear the waves at night and sit on the deck. Elal in the bar and Mahmood in the restaurant stood out for us. We stayed on a half board basis and both breakfast and lunch had plenty of options and each night the food was different. We also had lunch at the pool on one day and that was a huge portion size. The location is gorgeous but remember beach shoes as there are lots of sea urchins. It is a short walk to some lovely bars and white sandy beach.
