ESSQUE ZALU ZANZIBAR

TAKE A DEEP BREATH OF FRESH INDIAN OCEAN AIR.
RELAX AND UNWIND AT OUR ZANZIBAR GETAWAY.

Essque Zalu Zanzibar bucks the trend of competing resorts who aim to blend in with their local environment. Instead, big and bold form a consistent theme, from the highest makuti thatched roof on the island, to the two roomy restaurants, three well stocked bars, and sprawling lagoon-style pool.

Clean Place is a safe place . Very welcoming

"Lovely beds, breakfast covered well. Rooms slightly outdated and hotel could do with sprucing up interior. event resort is bit old. But Still Very well clean. And spotless . And shining property. spacious Room with good smell. Provide cleaning service twice a day. Replaced drinking water bottles and bathroom amenities. On daily basis. Great location. staff were extremely helpful and even find you beds at the beach/pool which is such a luxury. Bar staff were lovely. Couldn't really faulty anything other than the interior needs uplifiting. The jetty restaurant is the best for the evening out. Hope to see your all smiley faces again sooner"

"Fantastic stay great resort and location, great bars and restaurant. with nicely organized theme nights. Very tasty breakfasts and convenient location. The staff were second to none. The Jetty Restaurant and the bar is best place to spent your time. especially all the staff went out of the way to assist us with not only the service but excellent local knowledge of the area. Thank you very much to the Best Ever Housekeeping services for the high-quality cleaning, Morning and evening bed turn down services. in the evening they always gave us a surprise with different kinds of bed decorations. Thank you housekeeping team for good memories. polite staff and cozy"
