Reviews for Essque Zalu Zanzibar

Phenomenal experience at Essque Zalu

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

My mom and I had a phenomenal experience at Essque Zalu Zanzibar. Staff were exceptional accommodating and the food was delicious. I will definitely refer friends and family to visit the Essque Zalu Zanzibar. We will be back. A very special thank you to Maureen, Shine, Amina, Fatima and Finesse. We stayed in room 12 and what a beautiful way to wake up every morning to a beautiful beach view.

My dream wedding at Essque Zalu

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

I stayed to Essque for 3 nights. I celebrated my wedding there and it was wonderful. The superstar was Moureen. She made sure the celebration was perfect. All the staffs were kind and helpful. I had several meeting with the chef (Louis) and the beverages manager (Ali), who made sure everything was clear before the wedding. The room, the pool, the restaurant, the jetty, everything is magical. I highly recommend the place. And if you plan to stay longer, please find Moureen, Amina or Paulo.

Great Resort! Good service. Our villa was marvelous, two big rooms. Excellent garden view. Gorgeous infinity pool. Breakfast was wonderful with variety of food and deserts. . The less good thing is the dinner, we had some problem as a jews to find good food for us although the chef, at the first evening tried to make us a special dish.

Four words: I didn’t want to leave.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

From the iconic jetty to the dreamy villas, every moment at Essque Zalu felt like luxury whispered in Swahili. The views? Unreal. The service? Impeccable. The vibe? Soft life on a silver platter. If you're looking to reset, reconnect, and be completely spoiled by the sea — this is it. Essque Zalu isn’t just a stay. It’s a statement.
