We came to this hotel after a week on safari. It was incredibly relaxing to be somewhere where every need was catered for. If you want to relax after safari, this is the place to do it. The food was absolutely fantastic, especially the delicious breads served with every meal. Memorable amongst the dishes we had was the smoked swordfish,... More

We stayed at Essque Hotel during low season (April 2013) and enjoyed the fact that we were sharing hotel facilities, swimming pool, jetty etc. with very few other guests. This added an extra value to the holiday. Common spaces and rooms are elegantly decorated, staff very professional but the top rank of this hotel is the Cuisine. Breakfast is delicious,... More

I have been meaning to write this review for some time. We stayed at the hotel with friends in September last year, after climbing Kilimanjaro, and were all agreed that the hotel was simply wonderful. Our room (suite with ocean view) was stunning, the food excellent (particularly in the upstairs restaurant), the location superb, and the service faultless. In my... More

We were looking for a place to completely refresh and recharge ourselves and that is exactly what we got. From the moment you step inside until the moment you leave you feel cocooned in luxury and style. The hotel is simply beautiful, a combination of contemporary, art deco and traditional African but in a very cool and minimalistic way and... More

Spent a good 6 nights at Zalu. Food was amazing, however the serving time is very laid back. Dinner can take up to 2 hrs to arrive but they compensate that with excellent tasting menu. Rooms are spacious and each suite has 2 aircons keeping you cool 24/7. Staff are very accommodating and will go out of their way to... More

This is a beautiful hotel, the manager is excellent and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. The infinity pool is Gorgeous and the SPA is excellent. But all that comes at a price of course. If you want to tan on a beach or swim in the ocean, this isn't the place for you. If you want to swim... More

Wonderful place, great ambience, excellent staff, an experience in extreme Luxury! We spent time with friends hosting their son's reception. The cottages and suites are tastefully done, great food, live band and a beautiful infinity pool!

I was staying in Nungwi and visited this hotel for the afternoon and evening. As such this review does not reflect accommodation or quality of guest service. We ate lunch on the terrace and it was delicious. I thought it was very reasonably priced, similar to prices for mch poorer quality food around Nungwi. The spa was fab. very restful,... More

We recently stayed at the Essque in a Sea View Suite, and were very happy with our room (# 24) which had an unobstructed view of the ocean. The suite itself was spacious and if not for the abundance of beautiful nooks around the resort in which to relax and unwind, we would have just relaxed on our patio overlooking... More
