Jambo Essque Zalu Team! Asante sana for the wonderful stay and for making our time in Zanzibar so special. We truly enjoyed everything — the beautiful hotel, the delicious food, and especially the amazing staff. Everyone was incredibly warm, kind, welcoming and always smiling. You really made us feel at home and made our stay unforgettable. We’re also leaving Zanzibar with a few Swahili words in our vocabulary… and of course, we now know the Jambo Jambo song by heart! 😄 Hakuna Matata! Asante sana for everything. We will keep beautiful memories of Essque Zalu and Zanzibar. ❤️

We only stayed at the hotel for three days, but I wish this trip could have lasted so much longer. The apartments are absolutely fantastic — spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. And the sea view is simply breathtaking; waking up to that scenery every morning was a real treat. The entire hotel staff was remarkably kind and helpful throughout our stay. I truly have nothing to complain about when it comes to the quality of the hotel: both the setting and the overall standard of the establishment were simply perfect. I recommend it without hesitation! A special mention goes to Amina, who touched us deeply and with whom we shared an unforgettable stay.
