Facilities: Guests appreciated the large swimming pool with scenic views and the infinity pool by the beach. The pool was described as sea water, and the hotel features a jetty and ramps for accessibility, catering to guests with mobility issues.(based on 2 reviews)

From the moment we stepped inside the reception to the time we checked out, we had the most memorable stay. The whole resort was beautifully presented, clean, luxurious and peaceful. We booked the partial sea view room and it was fabulous from all the little details inside to the private verandah outside, perfect for relaxing whilst reading a book or watching the boats go by on the sea. The infinity pool was in pristine condition, the breakfast and dinner buffet had a great selection and the Jetty restaurant was convenient for lunch too. The service all round was exceptional, everyone was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We will be recommending Essque Zalu Zanzibar to our friends and family and are looking forward to visiting again!

The hotel fell short of 5-star standards due to inconsistent service. Key issues:
• Our booked seafront suite was unavailable on the first night due to overbooking (later cited as maintenance), and we were placed in a family house with unused amenities like a kitchen and extra rooms.
• Service was lacking: staff were friendly but unhelpful. One left us at the buffet without seating us, and another failed to explain the substitute accommodation’s facilities. Shower gel was missing on the first night.
Positives include:
• Beautiful seafront suite and restaurant.
• Large swimming pool with a scenic view and an enjoyable coached workout session.
• Varied breakfast and dinner options.
• Manager Maurine was helpful, though she seemed the only one resolving issues.
Overall, poor service significantly diminished the experience, falling below 5-star expectations.

The scenery is truly stunning, the hotel is beautifully designed, and with few guests, it's quiet and serene, making it an immersive getaway.
Disadvantages: The room amenities and furniture are a bit dated, not quite up to 5-star standards.
Service is acceptable.
The menu could be improved with a buffet-style dinner menu for a more authentic feel.

Even though I couldn't understand the language, the power occasionally went out and came back right away. The food was also varied and enriched, and there were different programs in the evening. The attentive service attitude can be felt. The only drawback is that the car used in the hotel is too old and the air conditioner does not cool down.

Very good hotel. Except for the bad road when driving in, everything else is great. They prepared cakes when they knew it was our birthday and sang happy birthday during dinner. Breakfast and dinner were both good. The car battery was dead when we left on the third morning. The electricity was turned on, and the hotel helped to connect it. Thank you very much!
