Essque Zalu was the perfect solo escape. The staff made me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset by the infinity pool. My room was spacious, spotless, and so peaceful. Loved dining at the jetty restaurant — fresh seafood with the ocean breeze is unbeatable. I felt safe, relaxed, and completely pampered. Can’t wait to come back!

Very family friendly place. Pool , beach access (in the morning when tide is low), restaurants, everything was great. Breakfast and dinner was part of the hotel stay which was amazing. Would come back again.

What a wonderful experience staying at Essque Zalu! The staff were amazing, attentive and caring. I loved the rooms they were rustic and cool and I had great nights sleep for my stay! We done half board and the breakfast and dinner there were lots of choices for both veggie and meat eaters. The pool area was beautiful at night along with the pier making it great for a stroll after dinner. Thank you for having us

We were group of 9 persons from India. It started with a call to me from Ms. Lindy the sales head for the property. She was very cooperative to provide us all the details as well as videos which helped us in booking. The property has a mesmerising view being located on the beach and the music of waves is so serene. The Jetty restaurant makes you feel as if you are having the meal in between the Ocean and bar too over there gives you the kick which you need for relaxing. Would not like to miss giving a special thanks to Chef Ibrahim who ensured we had the delicious food of our choice and went that extra mile to prepare Indian Dessert. Al in all it’s an experience which we will cherish throughout our life. WOULD RECOMMEND IT AS ‘MUST VISIT’
