The food is not so great...But the hotel is very beautiful and people are so nice...The pool was not working they gave us vouchers to go to Nungwi dreams and Kendwa Rocks.

Great experience overall, especially massage with Happy. The massage was one of the best I've had, after my first I booked another for the next day.

The plan is fantabulous, very relaxing, luxurious and clean. The best part of it though are the staff very friendly, attention to details, and customer service on point. They are the one who makes this place so memorable, ALL of them. Well done and keep the good work going on.

My family truly will not forget Essque Zalu. We stayed for almost five days, and every day was filled with such memorable moments. From Husna and Editha in the spa, to Hilali, Melina, and Ally at the Jetty, to Venny at breakfast, and to Big Mama in our cooking class, every person of the hotel staff made such an effort to make our stay the best it could be. At this point, we would consider them dear friends! The rooms were exquisite, the food was delicious, and the ocean views were outstanding. We loved this hotel so much, and we hope to be back soon!
