Reviews for Essque Zalu Zanzibar
Great and relaxing
Great hotel, excellent service from all the staff, very friendly and happy to help all the time. Only downside is there no beach, but the hotel provides a shuttle to a nearby resort in Kendwa beach.

Need improvement in cleanness & Food
My overall experience at Hotel Essque was good. The staff were humble, polite, and very helpful. However, there are two major areas the management should consider improving: cleanliness and food variety. Regarding cleanliness, the towels, bed sheets, and mosquito nets had stains and appeared worn out. As for the food, the breakfast and dinner buffet lacked international options and did not meet the standards expected from a 5-star hotel. I truly hope the hotel will address these aspects, especially since most guests book half-board or full-board packages.

Excellent hotel, friendly staff, beautiful place
This is a wonderful hotel on a beautiful beach… the staff are extremely helpful and very friendly… they are always checking that everything is perfect for you. The hotel has plenty of private space and at no time did it feel crowded. Food is of high quality and is plentiful… just beautiful! Rooms spacious and very comfortable. It is close to Nungwi beach and some other local attractions… but is about 1 hr 45 mins from the airport on a good day.. if traffic is heavy it can take longer… still there is plenty to see on the journey which gives you a feel of the real Zanzibar not the tourist version… I liked the journey but others may not…. I think it is the price you pay for a perfect destination

Zanzibar’s greatest hotel
Stayed in the hotel for 11 nights perfect perfect location great service very friendly and full of local hospitality. We have used steps to Zanzibar desk hotel to organise for us seven multi destination activities. All went to plan extremely well organised and I would like to particularly mention Patrick who has prepared every trip with great diligence and thoughtful preparation. I would also like to mention Dhulkifli our Driver and the person who accompanied us on tours exceptionally efficient and extremely polite highly recommend steps to Zanzibar tours and safari operator and Essque Zalu hotel
